  • Lots of comments mentioning open relationships/polyamory/ethical non-monogamy. The problem is that you can’t have ethical non-monogamy if it starts from an unethical place. I agree that you need to sit down with her and talk about things, but without a serious repair to this trust breach and probably some couples counseling you can probably consider this relationship over.








  • Your math is off by a bit there. In 2024 alone there were ~48,000 organ transplants performed in the US. Now, that was a record high. So if all ~10 people who died of rabies in 2024 had been organ donors and somehow it wasn’t caught that they died from rabies that’s still only a 0.02% chance of getting an infected organ. That number is still wrong because all of those cases were caught and their organs would not have been donated, plus only about 58% of the adult US population are listed as organ donors. Also, it’s fewer than 10 people, not ~10 people. The actual average number of people who have died from diagnosed rabies in the US since 2000 is ~2.5 per year.

    So, overall, the chance of a registered organ donor dying from rabies and their organs still being donated is remarkably low.
