This is a question a talk show host ask people who call in to ask her questions about their relationships. When people call her and talk about how their partner does this and that, she will also ask this question. I think it's a brillant question and gives you the answer you already know the answer too. So I ask you my Mylotters, if you won $10,000,000 today would you stay in your current relationship?

Yes, I 'll stay til the end of time. The money would only mean I wouldn't have to worry about money.I would still do my job but It wuld mean I could travel.

Why not?Money and relationship are two different things. I would stay even if I won that much of money.

they are so different yet so the same. a lot of people stay in bad relationships because their partner makes all the money and they feel like if they left they would have nothing... but i am happy to say i love my hubby and i would gladly share my winnings

That is because the only thing they state in mind is money. So money will motivate them to use and stay in such relationship. If only they can go, work and get money by themselves.

Of course I would, and we would immediately start planning how to spend it having more fun.

The Boss is worth more to me than any amount of money. She has stick with me through thick and thin and I simply cannot imagine wanting to live without her. Love is a much devalued word these days with many well known people treating marriage as a commodity to be bought and sold on a whim. Unfortunately this sends a message to the impressionable that you don't have to try too hard because you can always trade today's lover in for a new one tomorrow. When I said my marriage vows I meant them. It is my great good fortune to have many women friends, but chief amongst them is my wife and I wont't part from her for mere money.

i love that you call her the "Boss" i so have to get my hubby to start doing that! you are so right. people now don't put any work into their relationships. no one tries or put in any of the time and work it takes to make a relationship amazing. yeah there are days when damn your partner just get's on your last nerve. but the love you have for that person is out weighs those those moments... I love my partner even though there are days when i don't like him so much. however i would not give him up or trade him in for anything!

Oh gosh yes I would! Without any absolute hesitation. My guy is such a sweet heart I cannot see where the money without him would make me happy at all. Gee if I had to choose between the too there would be absolutely no contest, I'd stick with him regardless. See without him I would have learned what love really was, so he my dear is totally priceless and I could not imagine life without him, money or no money.

i wasn't asking for anyone to choose between on or the other. i was asking are you happy enough in your relationship that if a large amount of money came into your life would you stay. and i see you are blessed enough to have a good guy!

if i was with someone i really love then yes i would stay in the relationship. winning that amount of money shouldnt change anything. now if i wasnt happy then no i wouldnt stay.

I would. We're pretty good together and even without money we're happy, so with money life would just be easier.

I probably would, but I'd definitely NOT give him free access to the entire sum! My boyfriend is notorously BAD with money and that scares me! I'd probably put him on an allowance to shut him up.

Yes, i do not see the reason why not. I believe if i will have that amount of money then things will be a whole lot better for me and huby, we will both be able to create business that we love and we will be able to travel and not worry about expenses at all! and thatwe will be able to provide our children good education and future!

Of course, actually he is my fortune. I will love to eat bread everyday instead of Roasted chicken or a pasta. What a life - being a millionaire without your true love is nothing.

you are so right. money without someone you really love to share it with is like finding a dollar on the floor. it's nice, but not a big deal

I'm currently not in a relationship but I would still definitely say yes, I would stay with my current relationship because I would know that my relationship isn't built on financial gain. I prefer to be with that person because I know that she is the person I would want to spend my time with.

I'm not in a relationship but if I was absolutely I would stay. I do not see why I would leave them if I won money. I wouldn't be with them if it had anything to do with money. If the answer is yes you should not be with anyone right now.

i am not a greedy person. If i have that amount i will still stick to him. My partner helps me on budgeting and disciplines me in spending the money. This would ven make him happy because I don't need to borrow from him anymore. :)

it's always good to have someone in the relationship that is good with money. but this question wasn't about being greedy, just if you think your relationship is at the point where if you got a bunch of money you would stay

Yes most definetly I would! Money would not be an issue or the reason our relationship or marriage would fail. Money is the root of all evil so it would not be the root of my marriage failing. I wouldn't allow that to happen and neither would my husband. However, we'd have a lot of fun helping my family by paying off all of their bills and then help our friends with their financal problems and go from there.

I definitely would stay. I love my husband, and would want to share it with him. I wouldn't want to leave. I don't really have a reason to leave.

I will of course. I am going to use that money to open a good lucrative business for me and my partner coz i wanna give her a better life. Why should I leave her when I have that money? Well, i think those who are not happy with their current relationship would say they will leave their partners if they get that money.

that is what the question is suppose to do. make you think about the person you are with. if you would stay or not. I am happy you would stay. she must be special

Why should I leave my current relationship since I have that amount of money. Better for me to love her so much because I am already rich and I give anything to her what she wants...

It wouldn't be much point to spend all that money by yourself, so no, I'd rather let her decide how we should spend it, that is, assuming such a thing is likely to happen. She'd probably donate it to a reputable charity of sorts, knowing her... that, or buy an entire library of books.

I would definitely stay with my current partner if I won so much money. It would give me all the more reason to stay, since we wouldn't have any financial struggles to tear us apart. My family use to have intense arguments over money and if they had more I think they would have been less likely to fight. I do know the types who would leave their partner because they only wanted money in the first place. I feel sorry for such gold diggers because they are so needy that they can't find true love, the kind where one feels ready to give up anything and everything for someone else.
