    Probably end up in serious therapy, or institutionalized. Like, it’d be the the equivalent of my wife and son dying, but without being able to get any emotional support from friends and other family.

    This is actually somewhat of a recurring nightmare, for me. A scenario I play over in my head every once in a while that gives me existential dread.

    On a related note, “Erased” on Netflix is really good.

      And even if you meet the same people, seek them out and form relationships with them, you won’t share the same memories of your relationship together. It won’t be a shared history, except the part you’re together in the new life. And you’ll compare that against the other life. And make little inside jokes without realizing it’s from the wrong life and your partner’s clone will just look at you with a blank look.
