Would you stay with your current SO or would you dump them so fast their head would spin?

If I were to win I'd immediately give my SO half of the prize.

if you would dump the SO with money why are they your SO to begin with?

life is to short to waste your time with someone you dont want to be with.

I'd out it all in the bank. By SO you mean married right? Because if it's only a longterm gf who might become your spouse, I'd still put it in the bank. Thus build the interest and pay the alamony with the interest. Greedy biotches :evil:

Why in the world would you give your SO half the money? Just because you're doing a good deed doesn't mean she will too [by staying with you].

I would keep the money and spend on my SO but handing over my money like an idiot is not my thing.

Because if you live together and have pledged to share 50/50 it would be the right thing to do.Besides, if you give them half right up front and they stick around anyway you know you chose well.

Well, I'd have to have one first. ;) But in that case...it probably wouldn't be too hard to find one shortly thereafter. :) I've taken it easy on the whole g/f thing for the last year and some...just no space/time in my life right now.

If you gave them half the prize and they stayed it would be great! If you gave them half the prize and they immediately dumped you then you wouldn't be spending years of your life with somebody who was only with you for the cash and gifts you doled out.Either way you come out a winner.
