If you're right, this suggests a useful spin on the disclosure: "I want you to run away with me - to the FUTURE!"

However, it was my dad, not my mom, who called me selfish when I brought up cryo.

I think that what would work is signing up before you start a relationship, and making it clear that it's a part of who you are.

Ah, but did you notice that that did not work for Robin? (The NYT article says that Robin discussed it with Peggy when they were getting to know each other.)

It "worked" for Robin to the extent that Robin got to decide whether to marry Peggy after they discussed cryonics. Presumably they decided that they preferred each other to hypothetical spouses with the same stance on cryonics.
