Blake Walsh isn't just Kevin's wife ' she is also the woman who saved his life.

Kevin and Blake first met at summer camp when they were 13 years old. Even when they were younger, Kevin says that he though she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen.

Though they in contact over instant messaging and phone calls in the following years, they eventually lost touch. After all, Kevin lived in Indianapolis and Blake lived in Michigan. But then, one year after they stopped talking, divine intervention led Blake to call Kevin out of the blue when they were 17 years old.

Due to a string of events, Kevin says he was "seconds away" from taking his own life. He had already written out his suicide note and was about to do the deed when his phone vibrated in his pocket. It was Blake.

As they spoke, Kevin told her that he had been planning on committing suicide. Shocked and mortified, Blake talked him down and made him promise that he would call her the next day.

The two became even closer friends until they fell in love and started dating. Then, 10 years after that fateful phone call, Kevin proposed to her in 2015.

During his proposal, Kevin reportedly told Blake: "I love you. Also, thanks for saving my life."

Actually beside the immature killjoy joke, i agree with him. I have seen what kind of hell it becomes. There's nothing but cons in that. Sooner or later when you can't take it anymore, and want to break up there comes the guilt trick to force you to be with the person when they start threatening to kill herself/himself if you leave them.

Good for the guy in the story, i'm not talking about that couple, but in general i wouldn't call it a good idea to be with someone who is severely depressed and has suicidal tendencies.

I see Blake as more of a girl name than boy?

It's unisex anyway. Like Jaime.

In fairness to this situation specifically, the article says they didn't start dating right away. Their romantic relationship began later. We don't know his state of mind at the time they actually started dating.

The thought of suicide is a sign of intelligence. I hate to say it, but if someone has never at least had a fleeting thought about it, then that person is on the lower IQ scale.

For the story at hand, that's sweet. I hope he broke out of his depression.

I guess what i should say is, it's a sign of intelligence and comfort.

We're no longer animals that scrape by in the tropical rainforests, everyday fighting for survival. Modern humanity lives life on autopilot. We have time to sit around and worry about stresses and be about "Oh poor me, poor me." Primitive cultures have far less of a suicide problem than developed nations.

It's a bit of a stretch to say that everyone's "considered" suicide.

Thought about it as a hypothetical? Sure. But not serious consideration.

This is reality. How simple is life from your Lala Land?

Humans are cursed with the understanding of death. We are aware that life is a death sentence, and that this is our only opportunity to experience anything. Nature is inherently depressing for intelligent beings.

If you lack that awareness, then more power to you.

Not true. Babies and children live just fine.

You just haven't grown intelligent enough until you have considered it.

There is certainly some truth in those statements. But the conclusion that therefore all intelligent and comfortable people must consider suicide is questionable.

I'd say generally it's a sign of compassion as well, which is a good quality to have in a partner. Obviously not if you're one of those psychos that threatens to kill themselves if someone leaves you though.
