Which would you choose?

Asked by raum (13459points) May 18th, 2022 from iPhone

Bored demigod decides to toy with humans. Plucks you and your loved one for an experiment. They say that they’re going to either 1.) erase all of your memories of your loved one or 2.) erase all of your loved one’s memory of you.

Which would you choose? To be the one that forgets? Or the one that’s forgotten?

No third option for killing the demigod and escaping.

Forgotten.
I might be able to make new memories.

It’s always better to forget then be forgotten.

I wanna forget. Maybe my loved one could win me over a second time. I wouldn’t feel so confident that I could win someone’s love twice.

I have already been forgotten. It’s worked out ok.

Option 2.

My L1 has already forgotten a lot about me anyway.
All I’d have to do is reintroduce myself, and ask her out for our second first date. ;p

I may be in the process already, my memories are getting kind of spotty. I would not want to be forgotten.

I had a great aunt who suffered with Alzheimers for many years. I saw my great uncle’s pain when she couldn’t remember who he was. I would rather suffer the pain of being forgotten than to wish that upon someone I love.
