*** 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.

You can't put a price on true love and happiness...so...NEVER.
I've waited 24 years to get here and the smell of FH makes me much happier than the smell of money!

ugh i hate those movies.. the poor lover NEVER tells their one true love what their parents did.. if they just nipped it in the bud and spoke up, the movie would be over in 22 minutes and everyone would be happy!!

Definitely would not take the money - if that would ever happen to me I would tell them to f**k off (in my ever so sweetest and nicest way) lol
well i really don't care that much what they think so they could kiss my azz! If I remember correctly this happened on I love new york also...

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!!!

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!
hahahahah!!!! I second this approach!
I was thinking the same thing!!! If this did happen, I would be torn in the fact that we would always be haunted by this ultimatum and our children would be affected, etc. So...its a tough decision, but I would tell FH and def let him decide. If he chose to walk away,. i would convince him to talk the money first...pretend to break it off and meet him somewhere to start over. LOL.

I def wouldn't take it...
This kinda actually happened to me, without going into details, I turned down tens of thousands of dollars for FH
Good for both of you. That must be an interesting story though.

Re: ******QOTD****** 4/02/09
This hits a little close to home...b/c I'm sure some of FH's family wishes they could pay me to go away. LOL.
But no, I wouldn take the money. FH and I have gone through alot and money wouldnt tear us apart (even if it's the one thing we fight about!).
