I would save my wife over my mother, no question at all.
It's not even a close call.
We do have kids, though. Some one above made the very good point of looking your kids in the eye and telling them you chose your own mother over theirs.
That wasn't the question.
Plenty of reasons.
I would choose my girlfriend because:
- She is the mother of my 3 young children
- She has more life to live than my mother
- I couldn't look my children in the eye knowing I had chosen my mother over theirs.
Surprised by poll so far, any long term relationship would make far more sense saving your partner.
Girlfriend vs Mother = Mother.
Wife vs Mother = Wife.
Average lifespan would dictate that your mother would have circa 30 years less left on the planet anyway so you are saving more years by saving the younger one.
Are you single?
I have an answer, and I'm keeping it to myself!
Voted...
