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

OP posts:

No, but we would split the winnings 50% for investments/property (in both names) and then a further 25% each to spend however we see fit. I would take care of my family and he would take care of his.

CandyMelts · 23/09/2017 18:41

No way!

PaintingByNumbers · 23/09/2017 18:43

Oh yes! Split the winnings and offski

Laska5772 · 23/09/2017 18:47

Data yes! of course ! I though it was Richard Gere .. ( 1982 ..such a long time ago ,eh? )

Ineedmorelemonpledge · 23/09/2017 19:45

No. He could stay in the gatehouse if my mansion and I'd fling him the occasional tenner. 😂😂😂

Actually I would love to just be with him with no worries and able to do all the things we share in our dreams.

Olddear · 23/09/2017 20:23

No! We're in it for the long haul! We'd have a ball!

SparklingRaspberry · 23/09/2017 20:24

No way!

I sometimes day dream about the life we could have.

belgiannun · 23/09/2017 20:26

Yes

Crowdo · 23/09/2017 20:26

I remember talking with my ex about this and his question was, how much money would you give me so I could leave you?

Hence why he's an ex.

gandalfspants · 23/09/2017 20:38

Absolutely not. We'd buy a massive house and I'd have private healthcare and pay MIL to quit work and help look after DD so I could have DC2 without the HG wrecking our life.

LazySusan11 · 23/09/2017 20:40

Not a chance we would have even more fun than we do already!

Distractotron · 23/09/2017 20:43

Used to daydream about this happening with the EA ex. But I also used to daydream about him dying suddenly, so...😕
With DP I imagine us having tons of time together cuddling and being able to go all over the world experiencing things we talk about and watch other people doing on Youtube. I really love DP. So no

MrsLion · 23/09/2017 20:47

We are going through a tough time at the moment.
So yes, probably.

CJCreggsGoldfish · 23/09/2017 20:53

No, I wouldn't. We often talk of what we'd do and where we'd go if money was no object. Plus, we'd have that third DC we've been thinking about.

RubyGoat · 23/09/2017 20:56

No, no way. We'd buy a big house with a room just for all his crap though. Or even a massive shed hidden at the end of the garden. Then I wouldn't have to look at it all.

isseywithcats · 23/09/2017 21:29

no way would tell his ex wife she can keep the house she lives in that he paid for (ongoing divorce proceedings), buy us a nice house, a new car for him, see my kids all right, and then both of us could retire and enjoy whats left of our sixties instead of having to work till im 66

MoreProseccoNow · 24/09/2017 07:50

Yes. I've been having lottery win fantasies recently. Things have been shit for a while; I have never got over him cheating & between his depression, disengagement & selfish, workaholic behaviour- it would be great to leave without plunging in to poverty.

LadyFlumpalot · 24/09/2017 09:37

No! Money worries are our main flashpoint so that would be gone and we could do all the things we've dreamed of doing together. Get out of the rent trap, build our dream house, have our toys cars, travel the world.
