Imagine you are 27 and been living with your now 30 year old boyfriend for five years. You have talked about starting a family, and sometimes passion trumps prudence.....
On discovering you're pregnant, you announce the happy news when he returns from work. He says "Brilliant - but I have some bad news - I was made redundant today. Never mind - I can stay at home and help you through the pregnancy".
Of the two extreme reactions and scores - "That's lovely, dear" (10), and "No way - get off your and get a new job(1) - what would your reaction score be?

My reaction would depend on a number of things. Mostly the amount of money he is receiving for redundancy and how easy it’ll be for him to find another job.

Depends I guess on what type of book you’re writing? Do you want your characters to be rational, or do you want it to be exciting?
