To think DH would leave me if I won the lottery?

[ProverbialOuthouse]

We all have pipe dreams right? Well mine is winning the lottery. I've always been slightly obsessed about the thought of it and have even planned what house I'm going to buy and what business I'm going to start when it happens.

Anyway last night I was daydreaming about this event as I often do and my mind trailed off into a scenario where DH realised if he left me he'd get £30m of the £60m that I'd won. I'd just bought the house when DH announced he wanted a divorce and I started thinking about my reaction to having to live in this spooky big house on my own. I mentally gave myself a shake and thought "what am I doing? The lottery daydream is supposed to be fun!" But deep down, I'm 90% certain that he would leave.

I think if he had shit loads of money and was set up for life he would bugger off and get himself a younger, fitter model.

AIBU to think like this or just being a realist?

Lottery winnings are tax free - not sure about the Euro millions though or the health lottery, but i imagine they are not taxed either.

My partner and I would probably split up if we won the lottery as our dream houses/lifestyles are so different. In your scinario op at least you'd still have 30 million quid and you could either fill the house with lodgers or rent it our until such a time as you want to live in it. There are worse ways to break up.

Well, IMHO, you do not sound happy in your marriage and your life, which for you is more important than how your DH feels.
