Would you leave your DP if you won the lottery?

[Fantasisa]

DH is annoying me this week and we currently aren't talking to each other. We both think it is the other person's fault!

It got me thinking that if we won the lottery then I could totally see us buying our own properties and splitting which was a bit of a sad but probably realistic thought. Would you and your DP do the same?

Definitely not. We’d have an amazing time spending it together!

No not at all.

Me too, me and teenage kids would be off to our own home and my cheating rat bag could go and live on his own or with his elderly mum and auntie in Cyprus, I dream this will happen lol!

No! Would be great if we could give up work and spend it together.

Don’t have a partner. And I wouldn’t give any sort of sum to my ex

I’d take my family and my closest friend, who were there when he wasn’t, on a long holiday on a Greek island to say thank you.

No but I'd buy a bigger house so we could have our own space and he can have his own loo.

No, my DH is bloody gorgeous and I'm still head over heels in love with him, after nearly thirty years together.

Yes

You’re not talking, OP? What kind of horrible life is that?

If we won the lottery, we’d buy a fabulous property in the countryside and crack on with buying a couple of horses and upgrading the cars. We send each other properties all the time.

Yes sadly I would, I've often daydreamed about it. Not because I don't love him or want to be with him, but because I want to split the childcare and mental load. He would have to pull his weight if I wasn't here wouldn't he. And I would get something I've been craving for years- time to myself, and no resentment at being a slave for my family :-(

shrek - if you won the lottery, you could get help though - a cleaner, someone to help with the kids etc.
If you did that instead, would you still leave your H? Because he'd still be getting away with doing SFA? Or would it give you the time to yourself so you'd stay after all?
Not poking at you, just wondering.

It’d need to be more a housekeeper, PA kind of thing though - a cleaner wouldn’t remember dentists or shoes sizes or parties.
Basically a wife for the wife

I would leave and I think dp probably would if I didn't.

No way.

No, even though I have contemplated DH and I splitting up.
I think DH and I would probably get on better because I would hire a PA. That would solve the majority of the things we fall out over.

No!

If I won the lottery I would buy properties for the adult DC's who still live with us.
In 41 byears of marriage we have only been on our own for 3.5 years!

Yes I would. In fact was thinking it today when DH was being a shit.

Yes I understand that if you're not happy you shouldn't be together . Blah blah but the practicalities are somewhat different.

I've been looking at properties near me and the buying price and rental is ridiculous. I really don't want to live in a one bedroom flat , even for a temporary period , when I currently live in a 5 bedroom with lovey garden.

Call me shallow but that's how it is.

No way! Been married 25 years, had lots of problems that life throws at you over the years, always been faithful to one another, DH is my partner and best friend. A lottery win would make life easier of course, but I can’t think of anyone else I would rather share it with.
