QOTD 4/02/09

*** So.... was watching some cable and there is a long running theme usually on Lifetime. I thought I would bring to the boards....

What would you do if you were approached by a future inlaw and that person offered you a lot of money if you would leave your FH / FW? What would you do if his/her family wanted to keep you apart, and would disown him if he married you? Would you name a price? would you leave him/her for their benefit? Or would you just think its an idle threat?

Not the most upbeat topic, I know. Family is very important to me. However, I would not leave FH. I think if they cared that much, they would not truly cut him out of their lives. And if they did, we'd create our own lil family and he'd be apart of my family... Thankfully I don't have this problem...however, one of my friends did. They got married anyway and she's been very happy. His family stays away most of the time, but when they do gather together, they manage to put their issues aside.

FH is sooooo protective of me he would tell them to kiss his @$$ & it would be him & I and our family. I love him for that nobody messes with his FW or he will get in that @$$

I dont think I know what I would do to be honest (bad answer I know...) I just dont see how I could tell what I would do if presented with ALOT of money. Yes I love my FH and yes I want to be with him the rest of my life, but if someone is dangling a couple of million dollars in front of your face the thought of 'ok i will take the money' is bound to cross everyone's mind. If it was a couple of thousand dollars, I would say sure, take the money, tell FH what happened and then go to vegas with it to get eloped...

Anyone who'd make you choose isn't a good person... i've always held true to that during times of conflict, so I'd stay. If they wanted me to leave so bad then they could leave themselves. Joe is the best person I have ever met, hes my best friend and though i'd make with alone cuz im independant, i'd lose part of my self in losing him.

Re: QOTD 4/02/09

That is really tough. Not because I would be offered a large sum of money but because his family obviously didn't want us to be together enough to go through such measures. I think I would tell FH this was happening so that he could work out whatever was going on. He is very close to his family so I would worry that us going on and getting married might cause huge issues later on for both of us.

I would tell them to make that offer to their son, not to me. That would be his decision to make, not mine, because it's his family putting up the ultimatum.

Re: QOTD 4/02/09

OMG!! What a question!!

Hmm let me think....the kind person in me would say that I would dismiss his father's offer, and tell FH and be cool about it and just marry FH and live our lives......but in all honesty if it were to happen in real life I think the whole world would hear me scream obscenities and give his father a piece of my mind!!!

'I would be like who do you think you are!!!.... You adkflajdiajgojaoeigoa, jsodjfapwejfawje, ajfopwjefawjefjaweghoauhgng, geigahgjngaur,gaiohrgoinrgoakag,......
and so on...'

So intense I love it!
I'd have a little plan of my own....I would tell FH and take the money. Then without his family knowing we would move to Italy and live off the cash. We both win!! Gotta be smart, its a recession!

Re: QOTD 4/02/09

no amount of money could ever get me to leave FH. we where talking about something like this the other day & we both agreed that we would rather live in a cardboard box together then be wealthy & apart.

Re: QOTD 4/02/09

hmmm thats tough. I wouldn't take it bc of the money itself but if they are willing to pay of their son's fw to stay away, clearly they are not good people...and do i really want to be part of that family?! i'd really have to think about it.
