Poll: Ok folks, a poll for those in a serious relationship or that are married.

[Double Trouble]

So you've found "the one", you're in a long-term relationship and thinking about marriage or you've already gotten married.

Here's the scenario: someone offers you $10,000,000 in cash to leave your 'significant other' -- and never see him/her again. At the same time, your 'significant other' would receive a cash payment of $5,000,000 and thus be set for life. The only stipulation is that you never contact each other again, in any way.

Assuming there were no other options (no modifications of the terms), what would you do... and why?

Wouldn't do it, my Son needs to be able to see his Mom and I need my Wife. Plus we already make enough money.

 

[Taz4158]

Not a chance. Sounds like the premise for a movie though.

 

[kranky]

No amount of money would get me to do that. When I was younger, I might have felt differently (take the money, you can always find another woman), but not now.

 

[gittyup]

Wouldn't do it.

 

[nickdakick]

No friggin amount of money could make me do that. :|

 

[Missus]

Nope...

 

[GL]

Yes. I would then use the money to hire Johnny Cochrane and sue the a$$holes who made the deal with me for even more money Just kidding...hell no!

[bigbootydaddy]

not even to give up the ex....man that sounds wierd...
no money.

 

[hippy]

No amount of money can give my wife and I what we give each other.

 

[SuperSix]

Nope. She is indeed my "life partner", and all the $$$ can't buy that.

I love my wife.

 

[Double Trouble]

So far it's pretty much a consensus....

I read an article in university journal about a study done on this question where the results were much more evenly balanced. The results of the study are to be published at some later point. Interesting

 

[Electric Amish]

No-Way!!

I've put up with her for 8 years now. Not a chance of my giving up!

amish

 

[Total Refected Power]

No way. Somethings are just worth more than money!!!!!!!

 

[Elita1]

No way would I ever do that.
He's waaaaaaaayyy too good at what he does:Q

 

[Double Trouble]

Elita1, dare I ask...... what does he do?

 

[imhotepmp]

Not a chance. Whats the use of having all the $$ if youre going to be sad, bitter, grumpy and alone the rest of your life. Losing my gf would create a huge void in my heart, my life and my very being, that no one nor anyting else could/can/will fulfill.


So that is a definite NO!

[Elita1]

Tagej, I'll give you one wild, passionate guess...:Q

 

[ArkAoss]

see put up a meanigfull thread, and look at all the influntial elites roll in.

I've just barely begun to get into my relationship with my girlfriend. But I feel soo stongly about her, no money'd be worth it.
How can you pay someone to stay apart??? its scary..

 

[ultravox]

After 25 yrs of marriage, and all the ups and downs, I'm sure my wife could live with me being penniless but with her.

No I wouldn't give her up for $$$

 

[imhotepmp]

<< I read an article in university journal about a study done on this question where the results were much more evenly balanced. >>




If the answer is yes I think the person needs to question how they define a serious relationship.

[AndrewR]

Agree to the arrangement, deposit the money in Swiss or Carribbean bank accounts, and meet up with my sweetie in a non-extradition treaty country. Perfect.

With no such funny stuff, there's no way I'd do it.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

not a chance!

 

[Viper GTS]

Not a chance in hell.

My purpose in life is to make her happy, to take care of her. Without her my life is worthless.

[Ulfwald]

Not a chance. Money cannot bring me the type of happiness I feel when I am with her.
