My one ex thought that we were being shot at (ultimately it was a hysterically funny story) and flung himself across me to protect me. Probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, when you think about it. Unfortunately, I was driving at the time (albeit slowly).
But I've done the same for people I've been dating. Not with bullets involved, just shielding people I cared about. Stepped in between my younger cousins and what I was concerned was a dangerous dog. Moved between my elderly father and a large guy who was looking to beat him up, which freaked his wife out enough that she dragged him back (she'd been fine with him beating up an old guy) - I've found that if you're a woman smiling confidently as you walk encounter a potential attacker, people assume that you're armed.
I like to think I'd put myself between anyone I cared about and danger if I thought I could effectively protect them and not just get us both killed. There have been times in my life when I've been on the spot and didn't react in time or effectively, and bad stuff happened. I have a somewhat pathological obsession with not letting that happen again.
Yes, I would for my husband. Without a doubt, I would.
For my husband, I do anything except break the laws.
I love my father just as much, the old father that never abuse me. Unlike my mother who was emotionally abusve to me throughout my whole childhood, and still does through her words.
To my arrogant Chinese mother, I'm just a 'Dirty' girl in eyes because I married a guy she disapproved. According to her words, my future children are also equally "Dirty".
My children going to just have to grow up with their paternal grandma. Because their maternal grandma thinks they are dirty and full of shame just like me--their mom.
Trust me, you know what emotional abusive is when you can see your own tears drop down the rice bowl while eating.
I swallow my own tears while eating on the dinner table. NEVER once I can have a nice meal with my dad in the presence of my mom, hearing she insulting me. If it weren't for my father, I don't think I have the strength to come back home to visit.
I love my father so much, I would give my dad my organs if he needed. I take a bullet for my dad too.
I would do anything for my family, my friends, shoot, even strangers, I already saved my wife's life once already, back when we we're kids, I was at counter talking to a friend, I looked over and saw the look on my wife's face and knew she was choking, I gave the Heimlich maneuver; she snapped out of it and felt embarrassed, the diner gave me a standing ovation and my girl gave a hug and a kiss.
The first time you make a save, it stay's with you forever, I've saved a kid at the bottom of a pool, ran into oceans, and lakes, burning houses, MVA's, you name it. My friend jumped from one roof to another in flames and slammed a pick head Axe into the roof spun around and grabbed a hold of a fellow Fighter and jumped for the save, truly amazing.
I've been trained over the years to be able to dish it out, cool and calm under fire. Not everyone is built for the Edge Of The Shelve, but you'd be surprised what good people are capable of doing in a time of need.
You don't have one. I don't see how you can answer this with any idea of what you would really do.
Lol...ummm yea. Seems the only answer could be no, if no person exists to have any feelings at all about. Hypothetical SOs/wives etc don't work for this question. May as well be asking the person if he's willing to take a bullet to stop the disruption of air behind him.
Father with 3 kids. These are those cases that you never know.. and hope to never have to know... I love my wife but in the few moments before I take that bullet, my thoughts would be with my children; "They need their mother."

As it has been mentioned in other threads it seems to be the nature of men to put themselves before their family in these kinds of situations. I am not sure how a man could live the rest of his life if he saved his rear but his wife died.
