If someone offered you let’s say 2 million to give up the person you love which would you choose and why?

Let's work this out. I am married - legally married. If I were to give up my love for the money, then he would end out getting half by law, right? So it wouldn't be 2 million dollars but 1 million. Now if there were certain conditions attached to this offer I would discuss it with my husband because I may be able to turn him out into the streets with an ultimatum. He has some flaws that I would love to see him fix. So there are many bargains that can be made. I'm getting the money, you're not. You stop doing what you're doing and I will stay in this marriage. But you know what? He might take that kind of a deal because at times I feel he is just here because of the kids. But I think if he thought long and hard about it he would want to keep me because he would end out with nothing - no money, no wife, no kids - and I would be on a plane to Hawaii. LOL! It would be a real test as to how honourable HE is as well as me. Because honestly, I do love my husband and I don't keep secrets from him. I would discuss this with him like I discuss everything else. A mutual agreement would have to be made and, like I said, it depends on some of the stipulations in the offer. Because if there is no stipulation stating that he can't take me to the cleaners in a divorce, I'm guessing he would say he would take his half and be on his way. LOL! Keep in mind also that we are dirt poor; with my illness I have been a burden to him. His life has not been easy since I got sick. In the end we would both find out that you don't know what you have until it is gone. So as much as we need the money, we would have to hope an offer like that doesn't come our way. Thought you'd get a simple yes or no, didn't you? LOL!

If I'm the someone who will give the 2 million, I would change the offer and give the money for this grate couple I mean for you both, you love your husband very much as he does, so Absolutely, I think you won’t accept the first offer neither he at all not only because the kids, but also for your past time.

i'll definately go for the love as i know the money can be replaceble thing, rather than love, the truth of the reality is you never get what you want , rather you never accept what you want exactly .....money is the way of getting happiness love is the closest way for happiness and very firm too........cheers

I'd go for love. They say if the poverty knocks on the door, love flies out of the window. I agrred to that before but based on what I've experienced I chose love and stayed with my husband. As long as you know your strong,smart and hardworking...money will just go your way. Unless you'll just sit there...I'm talking about being here in USA, the land of opportunity.

I would give up my love and take the money. I can buy him back later.

You do not really understand the concept of two million dollars. That is 120,000.00$ a year in interest alone for the rest of your life.

Love, greatest, gift - Money cant buy love, do u agree?
I would choose to have love than to have family because money cant buy love but many people now try to buy love with other people which is not good.

No way. I'd have lots of money, but big deal. What would life be worth without him in it? I love my husband with all of my being and my biggest fear is of him dying because I just don't know what I would do without him.

What's "money you like"? What do you mean and is there a difference? Isn't money money?

I would choose love! Money is not everything and you can get money anytime. It is rare to find true love. I have found true love and my wife and I have been married for 30 years. I would not give her up for all the money in the world! She is too precious to me.

Call me greedy but I want both. Right now I have the love and he is worth more than $ 2 millions. What can $ 2 millions buy anyway? It might be good if I can turn the money to make money again, but then again you can't win all the time. Even if I had $ 2 billions but my loved ones are not there to share it with me, the only people that surround me would be bankers, investors and telemarketers LOL

I wouldn't give up the person I love for any amount of money. Money's nothing-they walk all over it in heaven. LOL You can get money anywhere-true love is hard to find.

I would choose for love. There are so many ways you can earn money..but that special person is precious, only once in a life time (that is if you're lucky). By the way you can surf to get many at Agloco (the first internet based economic network that enalbes you as a memeber to get your share of the money), it is free..just use this direct acess to sign up at http://www.agloco/r/BBDK9159

I will choose the person i love because no amount of money can ever change how much i love him, iw ill never give up him in just a 2 million worth of money id rather be poor and be with him than to be rich and not with him. Love cannot ever buy the love you are feeling to a person, love is the reason you are living not money.

I would definately have to say love because money you can make anytime if you willing to work for it. But love may not always be right there when u want it. Besides what if the person your giving up may be the one right person for you then you may spend the rest of your life with out every feeling that again and you end up with what a bunch of money u'd prolly blow on a bunch of useless things.

I'd choose the one I love. No amount of money would be enough to replace him.

I would absolutely choose love over money. Money can not buy happiness in my book and I'm happy with my life now. I would rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable.

i wouldn't exchange my love for that amount of money.. that's not even the amount of my love for the person.. LOL. seriously, no i wouldn't.. you can't buy love nor money can't make you happy at all.. it may make you happy but in such a short span of time only.. how would you feel if you have money but you don't have someone to share it with.. ayt?
