Would you break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend for someone who's perfect?

If a person who was say famous, very good looking, and rich, told you that they wanted you, would you break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend for that person. It seems like you would probably enjoy being with the famous person a lot more that your current girlfriend/boyfriend, but it would probably make them sad. :( Do you think that you would choose your girlfriend/boyfriend over that of someone who is prett much way better than they are.

Most certainly not! I love my husband and I love his flaws. I would go crazy being with someone perfect, I would always feel like I don't compare. Talk about lowering your self esteem!

If I met someone who I thought was perfect for me and my soul mate and I didn't feel that way about my current boyfriend then yes I would break up with them. I wouldn't break up with them just because someone with more money wanted to be with me. It would have to be a perfect match for life, not for money.

That's a very good way of looking at it. You're thinking that if the person was perfect for you, then it would make sense to break up with your boyfriend. But if the person had a lot of money and was famous it wouldn't be important to you if they weren't a better match for you. Thanks for your response. :D

No one is perfect. Therefore I can't see this scenario happening to me, lol. Fame is not something I envy, would enjoy, or see a plus in others. Money's nice, but I've gone without it my whole life, it wouldn't be that hard to turn down something with money. And looks, well..they aren't everything. I've known several people who're tear-makingly gorgeous on the outside and downright ugly on the inside. As you can see, I'm not easily impressed, lol. I would however, be fascinated by how someone like this would come by me and how they could so suddenly want me. It would be slightly flattering and confounding at the same time. Still, it would be unlikely that I'd break up with whomever I'd be in love with at the time for someone like this.

Someone who's filthy rich, famous and beautiful wants me? I'd surely reject the proposal to be with him IF I am in a relationship with someone else that I love dearly. It's actually a wrong idea of leaving the love of my life behind just for the luxury and pleasure. IF I feel like our current relationship is not so good and found out that he is cheating on me, why not go for someone perfect? Or someone who is Mr. Right? To me, money and power doesn't really matter as long as we've fall for each other.

there's always going to be someone better, someone richer, more handsome, more charming, more sensible... as in more, more, more... but that's not a reason for me to leave my bf. i've been with him for so long, i can't imagine my life without him. better doesn't mean you'll be happier... what if what you're looking for is already in what you have? right?

Perfection isn't truly attainable. No I wouldn't break up my marriage/relationship for that. For one, I wouldn't want that done to me. Seems like a lousy reason to hurt someone. I mean it would be pretty shallow.
