Exchanging info

[OICurready4me]

My sweetie and I were talking the other day about contact information in the event of an emergency. We are much more than "online friends" and plan a future together. Since we live a distance apart at the current time and considering the circumstances of our relationship, it is not like she can call my house and ask my wife if I were in an accident, sick or some other emergency, if suddenly I couldn't contact her due to mine or her incapacity.

Does anyone else have alternative means to reach your long distance significant other in the event of an emergency? We have exchanged certain phone numbers but beyond that, what else?

Just looking for additional means that we may have overlooked.

Thanks.

If ya'll have any close friends or relatives that ya'll have confided in, going through them to check up on one another in case of an emergency would work.

Also if you have online friends of your same gender that you could reach out to do make a phone call for you, that could work too. It would be less suspicious if a man called your house to speak with your wife to see if you are ok.

Of course for obvious reasons either of these two ways should only be used if it were an emergency, because there is still the potential of sending up red flags by doing so.

We do have a mutual friend from the site ;) but his location is near me so it would be a bit easier for him to "check on me" if there were a big issue on my end but for her, I really don't have anyone that I could contact without raising some serious issues for her. My best friend and his wife also know about her, so she has that info...

Thanks for the advice....:kk

What local newspaper would your obit be in?? Tell her to check that daily if she does not hear from you within 2-3 days.. obits are usually posted within that time frame and most papers can be found online--
if after you just in the hospital --tell him or her to post an add in the paper -- perhaps something he or she would respond too-- without sending up red flags at home-- so a letter or call would not seem out of place to the one your worried about catching you as your just responding to an add in the paper...

If she doesn't see my Batman light in the sky for 2 days she'll know I'm dead

It's good to have a plan...........there's nothing worse than simply not knowing!:(

I used to visit with a dear sweet woman through E-Mail, IM and each others web pages. She disappeared over 1 month ago without word. I've been very worried. Wish I had made some arrangements like this too.
