You win the lottery...

... you won enough money that all your worries, needs, wants are taken care of: do you leave your partner?

Not sure but I'd certainly buy separate houses and live apart.

Would you?

MaggieMeldrum · 23/09/2017 16:09

No

TheLuminaries · 23/09/2017 16:10

Absolutely not. What great times we could enjoy together with no money worries - happy days!

Rainybo · 23/09/2017 16:10

No. I would definitely stay with my DP.

However winning the lottery and leaving used to be something I wished for when I was with ex-H.

HerRoyalNotness · 23/09/2017 16:10

Most likely.

But then again, we could live instead of exist so we might be happier anyway.

Twoweekcruise · 23/09/2017 16:11

No, we would live the dream together. But I would buy a much, much bigger bed!

TheNaze73 · 23/09/2017 16:11

Absolutely not

EssentialHummus · 23/09/2017 16:13

No. Though I'd begrudge him less for his obsession with shopping at Waitrose.

ZippyCameBack · 23/09/2017 16:15

No, I'd keep him but get both of us away from his grasping family.

iklboo · 23/09/2017 16:15

Definitely not.

NerrSnerr · 23/09/2017 16:16

No.

Ellisandra · 23/09/2017 16:17

No way!

You've got me fantasising now about the trip we'd take to Bhutan...

jointsarehurting · 23/09/2017 16:18

No. We'd enjoy our new life together.

MorningCuppa · 23/09/2017 16:18

No.

opheliacat · 23/09/2017 16:20

How about you, OP?

My marriage can be difficult. I don't stay for the money but for the life we have built together.

Racheyg · 23/09/2017 16:20

No. We would have a dream life together. Build own own home have our dream jobs. The kids would have their own swimming pool Grin

Sn0tnose · 23/09/2017 16:27

Not a chance. We daydream about what we'll do when we do win it. Spending more time together is a big part of that.

I think that if I was wanting to win so that I could leave, I'd rather be broke and alone.

Mix56 · 23/09/2017 16:30

Yes

Joysmum · 23/09/2017 16:30

No, and WE would have won the lottery, not just me.

Aquamarine1029 · 23/09/2017 16:43

No way. We would finally be able to do all of things we dream of doing together. It would be amazing!

pointythings · 23/09/2017 16:44

Depends on whether he says sober following rehab.

bluit · 23/09/2017 16:50

No, but I would indulge his hypochondria with private health care so he stops moaning about his doctor.

PinkHeart5913 · 23/09/2017 16:53

No!

SomeBerryJam · 23/09/2017 17:33

No hesitation. Yes!

thathappened · 23/09/2017 17:37

Def not as has already been said, we would have won the money, not just me, plus all the lovely things we would finally be able to actually put into action!
