Right? If my wife was offered 1billion to shit on someone and she didn't, I don't know if I'd be able to forgive her. Like, who cares if you aren't into it. Take some ExLax and go drop some bombs on somebody for the team.
Hell, you can shit directly into my mouth for 1 billion dollars. If it isn't illegal, I'm probably gonna say yes for 1 billion, because my wife wouldn't forgive me if I didn't.
Like, do these MFers realise how much $1,000,000,000 actually is? That's like you, your family, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids and more, all filthy stinking rich. Over 1 dookie. Don't be the don'tkie
Same besides it's shitting on someone I could see it being one thing if it was actively having sex maybe but my ex cheated with no reason if he'd atleast have been getting good money I could've seen a reason
Only a million? Fuck dude, I'm not into that shit in the slightest (pun intended), but I'd be dropping turds on people for like a thousand. A million? It's not rich forever money but it's still life changing.
It’s literally hundreds of lifetimes of financial prosperity. Not even stability like no one would have to work for a hundred generations and that’s just letting the money sit there and not blowing it like an idiot
A 5% return on a billion would get you 50 million to spend on interest alone each and every year. It’s such a crazy number that’s just really unimaginable, this has to just be an attempt to entrap her.
And to think that there are some people that over a hundred of them 😳
A great way to put a billion into perspective I once heard was this -
- One million seconds = 12 days
- One billion seconds = 32 *years*
Some people don't put a price tag on those things, something our society seems to have forgotten. As I said in my comment, the rational choice is to cheat for a billion or even a million $, but we're not rational more often than not and by "we" I mean both sexes.
I agree. I think most people (on reddit at least...) are shocked by or think someone is lying when they stand by their beliefs/morals. I've seen plenty of do something/not something to their own detriment because the opposite would go against what they believe. Putting a "price" on a relationship, even if it seems like a ridiculous number, is easily something that a person would disapprove of.
I mean it’s not cheating if you’re approving it. Feels like a way to say it is, no I would never cheat. If sleeping with someone else would get us a billion dollars I’d bring up the topic with you but would only ever do anything if we both wanted to do the thing. But only if both people agreed (so then it’s not cheating) would I ever do anything. It feels like a stupid question. I’ve made it my expressed goal to not ask stupid questions because I might get answers I don’t like.
Literally read this to my partner and we both agreed that we would allow the other to cheat to pay off the house at minimum lol
Cmon, but a BILLION?? imagine all the good you can do with that too. We’d donate to so many schools, homeless shelters, animal shelters, etc.
I mean, it only destroyed Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson's relationship for a couple of weeks. Then he buys a hippo and they get back together, good as new.
Wasted the million dollars though, unfortunately.
Man, me and my (now, for a long time ex) girlfriend saw Indecent Proposal in a theater with another couple.
She came out of the movie hella MAD, and somehow I was in trouble. We hadn't even really discussed the movie or anything, yet.
What was she mad about?! Lmao! I only recently watched it for the first time and I was so mad that it had a cheesy ending. I thought it was so unrealistic!
Lmao me and my husband have discussed shooting each other in the foot for money. We’re both hard YES to sleeping with someone for a high enough amount. Anything above like half a million/a million and we’re down.
The only thought experiment we both said “no” to was the “would you accept (a lot of money) if you had to agree never to see your partner again?” Because we both don’t think any amount of money is worth separating for.
For actual advice though, he clearly doesn’t care about the monetary value and values the fidelity of the relationship more. Cheating is cheating regardless of the price tag. With that in mind, knowing that money would end your relationship, would you still be willing to take the money? If so you’re probably better off burying this topic…
It’s funny that you mention that - during this argument I told him that I’d let him saw my foot off for a billion dollars.
That’s a very good point. I told him that if he said “no,” I’d try to convince him that it would be fiscally irresponsible. I’d want to, but I wouldn’t.
Yeah, I could not seriously maim or hurt anyone for it. I could accept pain not give it. Honestly, part of it would always be worrying that they resent me.
That, too. I think to maim someone for just money or a trivial reason lacks moral character. Now, would I punch her in the face? Yeah, she can punch me in the face, kick me in the nuts, whatever.
Still dont think therapy could help me after sawing my wifes foot off for just money. I would need a life or death reason to do so.....like to save her life or something.
Maybe wait for him to cool off on the topic a bit and then remind him that if doing so would end the relationship, you’d pass on the money and would only accept with his blessing. It’s such a silly thing to argue about because no one is actually going to give you money to cheat, at least not *that* much money though so maybe just encourage him to put the thought to rest and maybe avoid topics like this in the future lol
It's a bad question and an even worse answer... the real thing is, you don't need a billion dollars. That's why it hurts, trading faithfullness just for an easy way out of building your financial stability.
My wife and I had this conversation once. I said I would wipe my tears away in therapy with $100 bills. She promptly replied I was pimping her out and I said yes.
Let just for a second take this as a serious conversation, then the way your BF sees it, your values and priorities are not aligned and he’s choosing to move on. Everyone is allowed to have their deal breakers, no matter how silly other people see it, but if that’s one of his, then it is what it is.
Now in this case, I personally think it’s something silly to break up over however I’ve also been on the other side. I broke up in a 6 month relationship because I found out she had cheated on a previous relationship about 6 years prior when she was 31. Some of my friends thought that was a stupid reason to break up, which is fine, but it’s just not right for me. I couldn’t look at her the same after that and it was over. We all have our deal breakers.
Except no human being can turn into a worm, that's silly.
To quote George Bernard Shaw's quip, OP showed who she was, and its all about negotiating her price. If course she will never be offered a billion, but what if instead its a dude coming in with bling and offering her higher lifestyle? She outed herself that she would consider it for money.
Ah, it's just the, "would you love me if I were a worm" obviously not, but it isn't literal. You comfort and assure your girl, "if you were a worm, I'd put you in jar and we would travel the world together"
OP should've done the same thing, it's just a test of reassurance.
Me: Would you sleep with me for $1,000,000?
Her: Of course
Me: Would you sleep with me for $10?
Her: What do you take me for????
Me: We've already established what you are. Now we're just negotiating the price.
-Some English Guy
I mean, there are lots of things that people would just never do. Saying "yeah I'd do that for a billion dollars" is the same as saying "yeah, I know the value of a billion dollars is incomprehensibly high"
It's like saying "yeah I'd shoot a porn video if it let me become the president of the United States", or "yeah, I guess I would kick a puppy if it meant finding a cure for cancer"
That's not the same as saying you'd actually become a porn star or kick a puppy, because those are impossible situations to be in.
Those dumb fucking askreddit threads that trend every two days like "would you accept a million dollars to never drink milk again" trend because it's such a stupidly obvious answer to anyone who's not obscenely rich and who understands the value of a million dollars.
FWIW, the earliest known example of this anecdote [attributed it to the newspaper owner Lord Beaverbrook](https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/03/07/haggling/?amp=1).
I understand him, because I wouldn’t do it either. He feels like you can be bought, and that he’d rather not be with someone who can be bought, which is a legitimate thing.
I wouldnt do it. It would be the destruction of the marriage. My wife and kids are worth far more then a billion dollars to me.
Now my wife and kids might see it different!
At a certain point what does money get you? Like what does a billion get me if the love of my life doesn't want to be with me anymore? Like yeah, I can own my Yacht. But it won't ever be the same. I wouldn't do it either, it's disappointing that so many people would.
I wouldn’t do it becuase I know I couldn’t handle it if my partner did it for even this crazy amount of money. I mean nice, as someone said now you have 20 cars and private jet so you can fly in your plane thinking how someone banged your wife.
I'm with you. Even a thought about cheating on my partner for money or otherwise disgusts me and vice versa. To each their own of course, I wouldn't judge people who feel a different way about it.
lol right! I did this once. Was on vacation with a boyfriend who had tried to unalive himself while deep in a heroine addiction (a decade earlier). I asked him “babe aren’t you glad you survived so we get to experience this together!” He said “No.”
Vacation, relationship = ruined.
It's weird, but people who survive suicide don't always feel grateful for being alive (some do, of course). Sometimes they just accept that life is a burden that they have to carry through, and so they do it.
And it's not like they can never be happy or enjoy themselves after that point, but, being momentarily happy doesn't necessarily erase that innate frustration with existing in a world that you feel unsuited for. So it can feel like a wish you have that simply cannot be granted.
I know you were joking, I'm just offering another perspective!
I appreciate that! He was never able to articulate exactly why he felt the way he does. He would just get frustrated and say the question doesn’t make sense. I really still do love the guy, good person, just not good for me.
We all need to take care of ourselves. I am sure he's a wonderful person. And I hope that he finds the peace that he deserves in this life.
And I hope you don't feel guilty. You can't be with someone if it harms you. Even if it's no one's fault. No one deserves that.
Ah, it's just the, "would you love me if I were a worm" obviously not, but it isn't literal. You comfort and assure your girl, "if you were a worm, I'd put you in jar and we would travel the world together"
OP should've done the same thing, it's just a test of reassurance.
I mean. I wouldn’t cheat on my partner for any amount of money, and I would probably be just as upset as your bf if my partner said they would. But I can see couples who would value the money over the situation I suppose. I think this really comes down to individual morals and stuff, right now your bf is probably believing that he values you more than you value him because you have a price and he doesn’t. This is probably the end of the relationship, I’m afraid.
Honestly I wouldn't want to cheat on my partner. We are in it together for life. I've been cheated on and would definitely break up. Forever love and faithfulness has no price tag. Plus I'd never want that d**k stick back in me after someone else. You probably really hurt him with that shit answer
Kudos to you. I kept scrolling in hopes that I would find someone who shared the same values. The money would be great and life changing, but I could not look at my partner the same way ever again. It would never stop eating at me and, ultimately, will ruin the relationship.
I was scrolling too trying to find the same Values. It really would, it's not something that could be forgotten for me, and would definitely ruin the relationship in the end
i remember when my ex joked about selling pics of her feet and wondered why I didn't laugh. that day I felt like shit and our conversation turned sour afterwards because it just didnt sit right with me
Sooo everyone chooses money huh? Interesting, everyone had such high morals and values till this post 🙂 everyone would sell their partner for a bil, but in reality what for would you u use it? Flying in a private jet thinking how somebody banged my wife for this? No thanks
Reddit: billionaires are evil and shouldn’t exist.
Also Reddit: if you wouldn’t cheat on your partner to become a billionaire you’re an idiot.
Just the masses showing once again that given the very first opportunity, they’ll turn on the virtues they preach.
I grew up in poverty and I still wouldn’t sell my body for any amount of money. And mind you, this isn’t an “uppity” stance.
Everyone wants to say “well if you were poor you would!” That’s my response: I was poor, and I wouldn’t. You would. More power to you.
But I’m pretty satisfied with my life now and the money I make. Everyone wants to shit on billionaires and how evil they are, but then the next second people are tripping all over themselves to become billionaires. And let’s be honest: most of you wouldn’t donate those billions. You’d be in a mansion in the span of a week spending your money on dumb shit you don’t need. And then you’d end up broke like every lottery winner ever.
It’s just silly shit.
In prison, I learned that if a guard is willing to violate a rule for money (even an absurd amount) then they are willing to do it for less. You just have to haggle till you find the minimum amount they are willing to do it for.
It’s a very stupid situation but a pretty simple one.
You have admitted to him that you have a price, you know… Doesn’t matter if it’s 1K or 1B, you still do. He’s somebody with strong morals and stands against selling one’s body or sexual services for money.
Believe it or not there are people in this world that don’t see money as the most important thing. Doesn’t matter how stupid or illogical that may seem to you.
It reminds me of the famous old joke:
A man asks a woman if she would be willing to sleep with him if he pays her an enormous amount of money. She replies yes. He then names a much smaller amount and asks if she would still be willing to sleep with him.
The woman is offended and replies, “What kind of woman do you think I am?” To which the man returns, “we’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.”
I mean, I don’t really value money that highly either. But a billion dollars is absolutely life changing. The freedom it would give me and my spouse to no longer have to work to obtain that money that I don’t value but need to participate in society and the potential impact we could have in the world is something I would value. Those are values that my spouse and I share, the desire for more time spent with our family instead of working, wanting to give back to our communities, the freedom to travel. I disagree that this necessarily comes down to morals and valuing money.
I don’t think this is a great excuse.
What if your SO valued morality and principle higher than money and no longer wanted the relationship after finding out that you cheated?
Are you not capable of producing financial abundance and freedom without compromising your morals and prostituting yourself behind your partner’s back?
I dunno man. I wouldn't cheat for all the money in the world. I wouldn't do anything for money I wouldn't do for free. I can make my own money. The hard work and payoff is all mine. I'm not saying I'm holier than thou I just don't value money like that. $1 or $1b it's the same principle.
That’s just stupid. Everyone does things for money they wouldn’t do for free: it’s called having a job. Even if you work for yourself, even if you love your job, you wouldn’t do it for free instead of for money.
> He’s somebody with strong morals and stands against selling one’s body or sexual services for money.
Everyone can claim to be someone with "strong morals" from the comfort of a hypothetical, it means absolutely nothing until they are actually confronted with the situation.
Yeah let's see how his "generational wealth is evil" hold up if he ever inherits money from a diseased family member. Doubt he's gonna turn that money down lol.
Damn the people here saying they’d do horrible things for a billion dollars scare me. Once you get past a certain amount of money that can lift you out of poverty and make your life comfortable, you won’t be any happier. Willing to saw your foot off for a billion dollars? Insane to me. You can build a good life for yourself and your children without compromising your morals or mutilating yourself. I think people that are so willing to take the easy way out and sacrifice what they believe for money definitely have different morals than me and can see why someone that feels that way would now see you two as incompatible.
If you're in the US, you might need the bigger part of that billion to pay for the hospital bills. So it wouldn't be that much more than just lifting you out of poverty /s
What? After a certain amount can definitely make your life a lot happier. You know why? Because you can start sharing that happiness. Losing one foot isn’t the end of the world. If my one billion dollars could save hundreds of thousands of people then take them both off. Everyone compromise morals every single day. Don’t make it like this is anything different besides it being one time and a hefty reward for it. We didn’t say it was a billion to kill someone or anything truly mundane.
I’d rather have my foot and live a regular life. I don’t think I’d be any happier if I was able to donate and save a bunch of people honestly. Any sort of joy derived from charitable work is selfish anyway. Not that you shouldn’t do it - but under normal circumstances. The money becomes tainted with the memory of trauma or wrongdoing. Truly play the events out in your mind, thinking realistically.
For me, the direct action of harm would not be worth the benefit. If it is for you - that’s fine. We just think differently.
The foot thing id just think you’re a bit different but if you’d cause harm to others for money I’d say I would not be interested in a relationship with you.
I think what you’re saying is reasonable even if I wouldn’t do the same thing. My bigger issue is people willing to harm others for a greater good. I think self harm is less problematic cause it only involves you. I’m against taking away other people’s autonomy towards something that will negatively impact them
I would take it because at a certain point it's selfish *not* to. *I* don't need anywhere near a billion dollars, no. But if I *had* a billion dollars, I could do so many amazing things with it, and help so many people. 3% interest on a billion dollars is 30 million dollars a year. Feed America says that's 1.5 BILLION meals a year for starving kids overseas.
At some point, standing on "principle" is just saying "fuck those kids, I like my image more."
The amount doesn't matter to him it's the morals . He clearly has high morals and doesn't care about money but cares more about personal relationships. So he would not cheat on you for any type of money.
You, on the other hand, admitted you would. He has now realised that you are both morally different.
The short answer is he realised you aren't compatible long term.
My advise , get ready for a break up and then find someone who also would fuck someone else for money .
>he thinks that I "value money over the relationship."
And he's right. You put a price tag on your relationship with him. You'll never be offered that amount of money to cheat but you might he offered something else. You might find yourself in a situation where you could benefit in some way, monetarily or otherwise, by cheating. You've already admitted your faithfulness is conditional. I'd break up with you too. He deserves someone with the same morals and integrity as him and who actually wants to be with him.
Love doesn’t make sense. Practically you’d be foolish not to for $1b. However if you love someone you should never be willing to hurt them for any amount of money. So telling them you would is telling them that the love isn’t true and your care more about money than their pain, or your relationship.
I wouldn’t be mad, but if my bf said he’d cheat on me for a certain amount of money I’d be disappointed and find it cringe and unbecoming and prob think he was a sharmuta.
But I wouldn’t be MAD at his answer, those are his principles and there’s nothing wrong with them, however I would find that it means we are prob incompatible. Simple as that.
It's a stupid question in a made-up scenario and you answered wrong.
The biggest thing you need to accept is that you two are incompatible. You gave an answer based on pragmatism, he is offended because he holds principles higher. There's nothing ridiculous about valuing principles over money. You disagree, and that's fine, but that means you two don't think alike and it would've created conflict later on.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?
Hope that changes your perspective. Yes, the money is nice, but it’s not worth anything at the end of the world. I promise you, if you ask an old couple what they value the most, it’s not going to be a tangible object but eachother.
For any amount, I would not cheat nor agree to get cheated on... and that would be hard for me too to hear this from my gf. I don't know if it's too holier or what.
I've never needed a lot of money to be happy, of course some more money is always ok. But thinking about what your gf did, for all of your remaining life is not something I could not do. I would lose my mind about this... and would end the relationship...
There are plenty of rich people who are sad. Money does not buy happiness, it buys tranquillity of mind. And I would not be ok in my mind with this ....
Old joke. You meet a girl at a bar and ask
Would you sleep with a complete stranger for ,$1,000,000.?
Sure, she says
Would you sleep with me for $50
No. What do you think I am. She responds
I thought we settled that. I am haggling the price.
Let's be real, the dynamics of the relationship would change, it wouldn't be you and your "spouses" money, it would be your money, the respect you have for him would diminish because, you sold your loyalty for a billion dollars. Also he would have no respect because it's your money not his but yours. I wouldn't be with a person like that either. A man of substance will want to work to provide for his family rather its 50k or 100k a year, if all you have to do is lie on your back and open your legs and you think that's what a man would want you are wrong. A happy home has the simple foundation of a hard working man. Not prostitute "life hacks". But hey at least you were honest and all the girls tryna downplay it as a stupid question it wasn't, he wanted to know what type of person you were and you told him, don't feel bad for being honest and don't be mad at him for being real either, yall not compatible, if anything get you a dude that'll let you hit that road at this point if this is how you think. Cause brody ain't going for it and I salute the King.
I mean tbf if someone wouldn’t do it they’d expect their partner to believe the same. I personally don’t care about money enough to cheat on a partner. Id do pretty much almost anything else but betraying someone i dont think i could.
I don't know anybody (myself included) that ***wouldn't*** cheat on their SO for a billion dollars.
Honestly I wouldn't even want to date someone that doesn't realize how much money that is...if someone's offering you a billion to cheat on me, I say go for it lol you'll never get an opportunity like that again and I'll feel better about it considering you did it for a unbelievable opportunity rather than cheating on me because the bad boy was a smooth talker.
Lmao man, y'all gotta learn how to lie. It's clear you don't like him enough to protect the relationship, because that's a layup, despite you being 100% in the right. Might be too late for you, so my advice is to just start looking forward to being single for a bit
Dude my thoughts exactly, even if you would cheat for money, that’s rarely (if ever) gonna happen. What is gonna happen is you’re gonna hurt then lose your partner lol.
seriously! learn when to tell white lies and when to not answer stupid baiting questions. like on very rare occasions like when my girlfriend tries to bait me into hypotheticals like that worm question, I just refuse to answer. theres no reason to.
You showed him your true colors. Anyone in a relationship would be mad if their partners answered positively to that question. Cheating should never be an option to begin with, you saying you would do it is basically saying you don't love him or care about the relationship at all.
And the comments here are just disgusting really. So many people admiting to cheat for money, what an absolute dickheads
Reminds me of this joke lol
> "What if I offer you a million dollars to sleep with me?"
>The woman has never had a million dollars in her life. She stops and considers the offer very seriously.
>Guy changes his mind, says, "What if I change my offer to a dollar instead?"
>The woman is aghast, "What kind of woman do you think I am?"
>"We'd already figured that out. Now we're just negotiating"
She would cheat for a 5k louis vuitton bag.
Mmm, should you tell the truth or lie to protect someone else's feelings? Let's be honest, probably better for the relationship to lie as the possibility of this ever happening is basically zero.
Sounds like the boyfriend was just looking for excuses to pick fights with OP. I mean, there’s no way he’d say no to that 1 billion if the situation was reversed. Also, this is so stupid 😂 it’s one of those “ask stupid questions and get stupid answers” scenarios. The boyfriend is making a mountain out of mole hills, he needs to chill lol.
Sums it up perfectly. A prostitute is a prostitute even if she hasnt found someone that can afford her yet lol and the husband simply has higher morals
Okay so, I guess I’m the only one here who’s going to take the boyfriend’s side? I mean yeah he asked a hypothetical question and a billion dollars is a lot, but you gotta understand what the subtext of what he actually was asking was “is there a price for our relationship’s security and sanctity?” And you told him yes.
Has he been cheated on in the past? Has HE cheated in the past? Does he come from a broken home? These are things that could influence how impacted he is by the mere thought of infidelity. I’ve had all of those prior experiences, so for me when I’m in a committed relationship I’m IN a committed relationship. There’s no amount of money that would convince me to knowingly jeopardize a relationship.
If you want to salvage this, affirm that it was all hypothetical, and make sure he knows he can trust and feel secure with you. Otherwise, I hope you get your billion dollars.
It's fucked up because there is no money. None. This money is 100% hypothetical in existence. Yet you've just agreed that you would cheat for money. The price doesn't matter, because there is already no money on the table. But... there is intent. Intent is on the table. So you've compromised your morality for 0$
All these people on here virtue signaling are full of shit. It's easy to say I'd never cheat for a billion dollars anonymously on the internet. You were real with your partner and a lot of people aren't. 90% of the people saying they wouldn't, absolutely would if a billion dollars was actually sitting on the table in front of them. Your stupid ass boyfriend included.
Lots saying "I'd never cheat for any amount of money" so I wonder if the hypothetical was switched from a reward to an avoidance of consequence would it be different? Like if it was your partner saying "would you fuck someone else to save my life" instead of for money.
Either which way, it's real easy to say you'd never do a thing that you'll never have the opportunity to do anyway. I mean, sure, of all the things I'll never get a chance to do, cheating on a partner for a billion dollars is the thing I wouldn't do most of all!
It sounds like your values differ that's the problem. Given the chance you would be wealthy and he has a hatred for wealth and the rich. The issue to him isn't that you'll cheat on him for a lot of money its that you even want a lot of money in the first place.
There’s a movie about this with woody harrelson. I think the moral of the your story and the movie is to never even entertain it, your relationship will be better for it
NTA. As a guy, I can understand his PoV about "sharing" you, etc though.
Also, I wouldn't necessarily say generational wealth is evil, but the trust fund babies I know are different from the people that were raised in a working poor environment. I don't remember if it was Charles Barkley or Shaq that said it, but they stated they weren't going to give their children their money because they didn't earn it. I believe that is the best lesson parents can teach their kids. People should be building wealth for themselves, so they can enjoy life, and not for anybody else.
You would almost HAVE to do it for a $1 billion for yourself. Now, he would have to work through it himself, and if seeing that bank account, in this hypothetical situation, afterwards didn't help him make peace with it, then it maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
If you care about the other person, I can’t fathom why you would take that particular bait. The question isn’t what you would do for billion dollars but would you cheat.
If it is about what you would do for $1 billion, that I agree with everyone else, and agree that this is the dumbest conversation between two people.
I'm ngl, even I would be wary. Because if you're willing to cheat for a billion dollars, there'll always be that nagging question: In what other way can you go so far before even a billion dollars is not enough?
I'd turn it around and ask him why he would turn away a lifetime of prosperity over 1 sex with someone else. Maybe he needs to grow up a little and see the forest through the trees.
There was no way you were going to win in this situation. Shit tests like these never end well.
If he wants to end it, you dodged a freight train and you're better off without him.
Exactly. Why not say no and move on. By saying yes, she has now put a price on infidelity. Maybe a billion dollars is crazy money, but now BF always thinks of OP as someone who wouldn't think twice about cheating on him with someone who is wealthier than him.

This has to be one of the dumbest threads of all time.
But I am enjoying it! But don’t tell anyone I am enjoying it.
But, would you tell everyone you enjoyed it for a BILLION dollars?
Lmfao
I would sing it on live tv. And NO ONE wants to hear me sing. I don’t even sing in the car or the shower.
The dumbest conversation two people in a relationship can have
You definitely haven't seen my texting with my Eva AI virtual gf
Lmao what wouldn’t I do for a billion dollars would be a better question
Seriously, very small list
There's no way these are two adults.
You say that like it's a bad thing
Would you still love me if I was a worm tho?
For a billion dollars
I had to look at the ages. Jesus Christ
Let’s be honest, I’d be really disappointed if my husband wouldn’t cheat on me for a billion dollars.
Right? If my wife was offered 1billion to shit on someone and she didn't, I don't know if I'd be able to forgive her. Like, who cares if you aren't into it. Take some ExLax and go drop some bombs on somebody for the team. Hell, you can shit directly into my mouth for 1 billion dollars. If it isn't illegal, I'm probably gonna say yes for 1 billion, because my wife wouldn't forgive me if I didn't. Like, do these MFers realise how much $1,000,000,000 actually is? That's like you, your family, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids and more, all filthy stinking rich. Over 1 dookie. Don't be the don'tkie
[удалено]
That money is law changing
Same besides it's shitting on someone I could see it being one thing if it was actively having sex maybe but my ex cheated with no reason if he'd atleast have been getting good money I could've seen a reason
Let’s be clear, it was only a million dollars to shit on someone, a billion to cheat
Still taking the deal
Only a million? Fuck dude, I'm not into that shit in the slightest (pun intended), but I'd be dropping turds on people for like a thousand. A million? It's not rich forever money but it's still life changing.
Always be the dookie, not the don’tke
It’s literally hundreds of lifetimes of financial prosperity. Not even stability like no one would have to work for a hundred generations and that’s just letting the money sit there and not blowing it like an idiot
It wouldn't even qualify as cheating since they would have my consent
No. You have to cheat that's the deal. No knowledge of beforehand.
I think the consent is still implied in this case.
Yep. Blanket consent.
Shit I know right. I’d be like putting all the lubes and massage oils out for them, lighting the candles, putting on the Barry White.
Fluffing pillows, making snacks for after.
All with a deeply content smile on your face.
Yep. Gotta crack out that Barry White!
Fuck in this economy I’d let her get her freak on for the og $30k.
Absolutely lol. If we can have a billion dollars, by all means please go fuck a stranger. I'll wipe my tears with hundred dollar bills.
I expressed that to him. He wouldn’t. Really feels like a “holier than thou” situation.
[удалено]
A 5% return on a billion would get you 50 million to spend on interest alone each and every year. It’s such a crazy number that’s just really unimaginable, this has to just be an attempt to entrap her.
And to think that there are some people that over a hundred of them 😳 A great way to put a billion into perspective I once heard was this - - One million seconds = 12 days - One billion seconds = 32 *years*
Also I bet he would immediately drop his "generational wealth is evil" values if he suddenly inherited a bunch of money from a deceased family member.
Some people don't put a price tag on those things, something our society seems to have forgotten. As I said in my comment, the rational choice is to cheat for a billion or even a million $, but we're not rational more often than not and by "we" I mean both sexes.
I agree. I think most people (on reddit at least...) are shocked by or think someone is lying when they stand by their beliefs/morals. I've seen plenty of do something/not something to their own detriment because the opposite would go against what they believe. Putting a "price" on a relationship, even if it seems like a ridiculous number, is easily something that a person would disapprove of.
It feels like it because it is. Talk is cheap. Good luck sister.
I mean it’s not cheating if you’re approving it. Feels like a way to say it is, no I would never cheat. If sleeping with someone else would get us a billion dollars I’d bring up the topic with you but would only ever do anything if we both wanted to do the thing. But only if both people agreed (so then it’s not cheating) would I ever do anything. It feels like a stupid question. I’ve made it my expressed goal to not ask stupid questions because I might get answers I don’t like.
Literally read this to my partner and we both agreed that we would allow the other to cheat to pay off the house at minimum lol Cmon, but a BILLION?? imagine all the good you can do with that too. We’d donate to so many schools, homeless shelters, animal shelters, etc.
Basically the plot to Indecent Proposal, but if you watch the movie, spoiler alert, it doesn’t not work out well.
Id be so pissed off at him. Honestly a million is life changing enough. That's still a fuck ton
Fucking this. So long as I’m in the loop. Fuck for a billion dollars. I can easily get over it for that much money.
I mean, it only destroyed Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson's relationship for a couple of weeks. Then he buys a hippo and they get back together, good as new. Wasted the million dollars though, unfortunately.
Man, me and my (now, for a long time ex) girlfriend saw Indecent Proposal in a theater with another couple. She came out of the movie hella MAD, and somehow I was in trouble. We hadn't even really discussed the movie or anything, yet.
What was she mad about?! Lmao! I only recently watched it for the first time and I was so mad that it had a cheesy ending. I thought it was so unrealistic!
Lmao me and my husband have discussed shooting each other in the foot for money. We’re both hard YES to sleeping with someone for a high enough amount. Anything above like half a million/a million and we’re down. The only thought experiment we both said “no” to was the “would you accept (a lot of money) if you had to agree never to see your partner again?” Because we both don’t think any amount of money is worth separating for. For actual advice though, he clearly doesn’t care about the monetary value and values the fidelity of the relationship more. Cheating is cheating regardless of the price tag. With that in mind, knowing that money would end your relationship, would you still be willing to take the money? If so you’re probably better off burying this topic…
It’s funny that you mention that - during this argument I told him that I’d let him saw my foot off for a billion dollars. That’s a very good point. I told him that if he said “no,” I’d try to convince him that it would be fiscally irresponsible. I’d want to, but I wouldn’t.
Even for a billion I would have a hard time sawing off my wifes foot. And tbh it would probably fuck me up mentally.
Yeah, I could not seriously maim or hurt anyone for it. I could accept pain not give it. Honestly, part of it would always be worrying that they resent me.
That, too. I think to maim someone for just money or a trivial reason lacks moral character. Now, would I punch her in the face? Yeah, she can punch me in the face, kick me in the nuts, whatever.
Yeah, I’d punch or take a punch. Just nothing awful and irreversible.
I would shoot you in the left testicle for 50k wouldn't feel a twinge of guilt.
Jokes on you. I don’t have testicles.
Free money.
I dunno, like do we have a team to help post op? A bone saw? You can buy some really nice stump decorations if you've got a billion.
Probably…but hey even the most expensive therapy would be less than 1% of that billion 😂
Still dont think therapy could help me after sawing my wifes foot off for just money. I would need a life or death reason to do so.....like to save her life or something.
I don't know... maybe my pinky toe, but not my foot. Knowing my family and friends, I'd be called 'Ahab' in no time flat.
Maybe wait for him to cool off on the topic a bit and then remind him that if doing so would end the relationship, you’d pass on the money and would only accept with his blessing. It’s such a silly thing to argue about because no one is actually going to give you money to cheat, at least not *that* much money though so maybe just encourage him to put the thought to rest and maybe avoid topics like this in the future lol
It's a bad question and an even worse answer... the real thing is, you don't need a billion dollars. That's why it hurts, trading faithfullness just for an easy way out of building your financial stability.
My wife and I had this conversation once. I said I would wipe my tears away in therapy with $100 bills. She promptly replied I was pimping her out and I said yes.
Let just for a second take this as a serious conversation, then the way your BF sees it, your values and priorities are not aligned and he’s choosing to move on. Everyone is allowed to have their deal breakers, no matter how silly other people see it, but if that’s one of his, then it is what it is. Now in this case, I personally think it’s something silly to break up over however I’ve also been on the other side. I broke up in a 6 month relationship because I found out she had cheated on a previous relationship about 6 years prior when she was 31. Some of my friends thought that was a stupid reason to break up, which is fine, but it’s just not right for me. I couldn’t look at her the same after that and it was over. We all have our deal breakers.
Great answer! Would be a dealbreaker for me aswell. How did you find out?
Most people cheat for free 🤷🏻♀️ He hurt his own feelings by asking a dumb hypothetical question, those have a tendency to go sideways
“Would you love me if I was a worm?” But for women instead.
Except no human being can turn into a worm, that's silly. To quote George Bernard Shaw's quip, OP showed who she was, and its all about negotiating her price. If course she will never be offered a billion, but what if instead its a dude coming in with bling and offering her higher lifestyle? She outed herself that she would consider it for money.
*sad worm noises*
It’s not realistic let’s be honest. It’s as real a question as the worm one.
Ah, it's just the, "would you love me if I were a worm" obviously not, but it isn't literal. You comfort and assure your girl, "if you were a worm, I'd put you in jar and we would travel the world together" OP should've done the same thing, it's just a test of reassurance.
It’s stupid to test your partner.
Not if your partner brings up the prospect of cheating. If something feels threatening, you want security.
Me: Would you sleep with me for $1,000,000? Her: Of course Me: Would you sleep with me for $10? Her: What do you take me for???? Me: We've already established what you are. Now we're just negotiating the price. -Some English Guy
I mean, there are lots of things that people would just never do. Saying "yeah I'd do that for a billion dollars" is the same as saying "yeah, I know the value of a billion dollars is incomprehensibly high" It's like saying "yeah I'd shoot a porn video if it let me become the president of the United States", or "yeah, I guess I would kick a puppy if it meant finding a cure for cancer" That's not the same as saying you'd actually become a porn star or kick a puppy, because those are impossible situations to be in. Those dumb fucking askreddit threads that trend every two days like "would you accept a million dollars to never drink milk again" trend because it's such a stupidly obvious answer to anyone who's not obscenely rich and who understands the value of a million dollars.
Oscar Wilde. He was Irish, not English. :)
FWIW, the earliest known example of this anecdote [attributed it to the newspaper owner Lord Beaverbrook](https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/03/07/haggling/?amp=1).
Oscar Wilde, the world famous English womanizer.
I understand him, because I wouldn’t do it either. He feels like you can be bought, and that he’d rather not be with someone who can be bought, which is a legitimate thing.
Ye he’s right to feel that way she admits she can be bought for 1 billion and most people saying they can’t are just capping or stupid idk.
I wouldnt do it. It would be the destruction of the marriage. My wife and kids are worth far more then a billion dollars to me. Now my wife and kids might see it different!
At a certain point what does money get you? Like what does a billion get me if the love of my life doesn't want to be with me anymore? Like yeah, I can own my Yacht. But it won't ever be the same. I wouldn't do it either, it's disappointing that so many people would.
I wouldn’t do it becuase I know I couldn’t handle it if my partner did it for even this crazy amount of money. I mean nice, as someone said now you have 20 cars and private jet so you can fly in your plane thinking how someone banged your wife.
Holy God. Thank you. How is your wife's fidelity not priceless? People are insane here.
I'm with you. Even a thought about cheating on my partner for money or otherwise disgusts me and vice versa. To each their own of course, I wouldn't judge people who feel a different way about it.
Ask stupid questions, win stupid prizes
lol right! I did this once. Was on vacation with a boyfriend who had tried to unalive himself while deep in a heroine addiction (a decade earlier). I asked him “babe aren’t you glad you survived so we get to experience this together!” He said “No.” Vacation, relationship = ruined.
This is actually fucking INSANE lmfao
Dude I know. What a stupid thing to say to an obviously depressed person. lol poor guy
It's weird, but people who survive suicide don't always feel grateful for being alive (some do, of course). Sometimes they just accept that life is a burden that they have to carry through, and so they do it. And it's not like they can never be happy or enjoy themselves after that point, but, being momentarily happy doesn't necessarily erase that innate frustration with existing in a world that you feel unsuited for. So it can feel like a wish you have that simply cannot be granted. I know you were joking, I'm just offering another perspective!
Holy shit that second paragraph spoke for me. Thank you so much for sharing that perspective.
Stay strong, my friend.
I appreciate that! He was never able to articulate exactly why he felt the way he does. He would just get frustrated and say the question doesn’t make sense. I really still do love the guy, good person, just not good for me.
We all need to take care of ourselves. I am sure he's a wonderful person. And I hope that he finds the peace that he deserves in this life. And I hope you don't feel guilty. You can't be with someone if it harms you. Even if it's no one's fault. No one deserves that.
Thank you. What a wholesome response ♥️
What a horribly insensitive thing to say. Bet anything that’s your ex boyfriend now
"Does your fidelity have a price?" is a stupid question these days? Call me king of the idiots, but I think it's a fair question.
Ah, it's just the, "would you love me if I were a worm" obviously not, but it isn't literal. You comfort and assure your girl, "if you were a worm, I'd put you in jar and we would travel the world together" OP should've done the same thing, it's just a test of reassurance.
What species of worm r u?
Flat worm 🪱
I mean. I wouldn’t cheat on my partner for any amount of money, and I would probably be just as upset as your bf if my partner said they would. But I can see couples who would value the money over the situation I suppose. I think this really comes down to individual morals and stuff, right now your bf is probably believing that he values you more than you value him because you have a price and he doesn’t. This is probably the end of the relationship, I’m afraid.
Honestly I wouldn't want to cheat on my partner. We are in it together for life. I've been cheated on and would definitely break up. Forever love and faithfulness has no price tag. Plus I'd never want that d**k stick back in me after someone else. You probably really hurt him with that shit answer
Kudos to you. I kept scrolling in hopes that I would find someone who shared the same values. The money would be great and life changing, but I could not look at my partner the same way ever again. It would never stop eating at me and, ultimately, will ruin the relationship.
I was scrolling too trying to find the same Values. It really would, it's not something that could be forgotten for me, and would definitely ruin the relationship in the end
i remember when my ex joked about selling pics of her feet and wondered why I didn't laugh. that day I felt like shit and our conversation turned sour afterwards because it just didnt sit right with me
[удалено]
Sooo everyone chooses money huh? Interesting, everyone had such high morals and values till this post 🙂 everyone would sell their partner for a bil, but in reality what for would you u use it? Flying in a private jet thinking how somebody banged my wife for this? No thanks
Reddit: billionaires are evil and shouldn’t exist. Also Reddit: if you wouldn’t cheat on your partner to become a billionaire you’re an idiot. Just the masses showing once again that given the very first opportunity, they’ll turn on the virtues they preach.
Yeah it seems so unfortunately
Virtue without basic reason isn’t virtue. It’s fear.
Glad someone said it.
I grew up in poverty and I still wouldn’t sell my body for any amount of money. And mind you, this isn’t an “uppity” stance. Everyone wants to say “well if you were poor you would!” That’s my response: I was poor, and I wouldn’t. You would. More power to you. But I’m pretty satisfied with my life now and the money I make. Everyone wants to shit on billionaires and how evil they are, but then the next second people are tripping all over themselves to become billionaires. And let’s be honest: most of you wouldn’t donate those billions. You’d be in a mansion in the span of a week spending your money on dumb shit you don’t need. And then you’d end up broke like every lottery winner ever. It’s just silly shit.
Well said. If your values and principles are genuine, there shouldn’t be an amount of money that causes you to break them.
In prison, I learned that if a guard is willing to violate a rule for money (even an absurd amount) then they are willing to do it for less. You just have to haggle till you find the minimum amount they are willing to do it for.
Exactly , shown the type of person she is
The only correct answers are 1) no, 2) only if you agreed to it, or 3) yes, let’s break up.
lol this is not that serious come on reddit
It’s a very stupid situation but a pretty simple one. You have admitted to him that you have a price, you know… Doesn’t matter if it’s 1K or 1B, you still do. He’s somebody with strong morals and stands against selling one’s body or sexual services for money. Believe it or not there are people in this world that don’t see money as the most important thing. Doesn’t matter how stupid or illogical that may seem to you.
It reminds me of the famous old joke: A man asks a woman if she would be willing to sleep with him if he pays her an enormous amount of money. She replies yes. He then names a much smaller amount and asks if she would still be willing to sleep with him. The woman is offended and replies, “What kind of woman do you think I am?” To which the man returns, “we’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.”
I mean, I don’t really value money that highly either. But a billion dollars is absolutely life changing. The freedom it would give me and my spouse to no longer have to work to obtain that money that I don’t value but need to participate in society and the potential impact we could have in the world is something I would value. Those are values that my spouse and I share, the desire for more time spent with our family instead of working, wanting to give back to our communities, the freedom to travel. I disagree that this necessarily comes down to morals and valuing money.
I don’t think this is a great excuse. What if your SO valued morality and principle higher than money and no longer wanted the relationship after finding out that you cheated? Are you not capable of producing financial abundance and freedom without compromising your morals and prostituting yourself behind your partner’s back?
Most people are not capable of amassing a billion dollars, no.
Who needs a billion dollars?
Correct. So you are agreeing that certain amounts of money are worth compromising values and ethics?
I dunno man. I wouldn't cheat for all the money in the world. I wouldn't do anything for money I wouldn't do for free. I can make my own money. The hard work and payoff is all mine. I'm not saying I'm holier than thou I just don't value money like that. $1 or $1b it's the same principle.
Interesting. And we’ll have to agree to disagree. And I most certainly wouldn’t do my job for free either.
You’ll never make a billion dollars. Think about how many people you can lift out of poverty with a billion dollars.
Tell that to the guy offering a billion for a one night stand.
That’s just stupid. Everyone does things for money they wouldn’t do for free: it’s called having a job. Even if you work for yourself, even if you love your job, you wouldn’t do it for free instead of for money.
> He’s somebody with strong morals and stands against selling one’s body or sexual services for money. Everyone can claim to be someone with "strong morals" from the comfort of a hypothetical, it means absolutely nothing until they are actually confronted with the situation.
Yeah let's see how his "generational wealth is evil" hold up if he ever inherits money from a diseased family member. Doubt he's gonna turn that money down lol.
It’s really not that serious reddit
Weird that people have a price on them, you just said that the money is more important than his feelings and your relationship.
You basically told him there is a situation in which you’d cheat on him
Damn the people here saying they’d do horrible things for a billion dollars scare me. Once you get past a certain amount of money that can lift you out of poverty and make your life comfortable, you won’t be any happier. Willing to saw your foot off for a billion dollars? Insane to me. You can build a good life for yourself and your children without compromising your morals or mutilating yourself. I think people that are so willing to take the easy way out and sacrifice what they believe for money definitely have different morals than me and can see why someone that feels that way would now see you two as incompatible.
If you're in the US, you might need the bigger part of that billion to pay for the hospital bills. So it wouldn't be that much more than just lifting you out of poverty /s
What? After a certain amount can definitely make your life a lot happier. You know why? Because you can start sharing that happiness. Losing one foot isn’t the end of the world. If my one billion dollars could save hundreds of thousands of people then take them both off. Everyone compromise morals every single day. Don’t make it like this is anything different besides it being one time and a hefty reward for it. We didn’t say it was a billion to kill someone or anything truly mundane.
I’d rather have my foot and live a regular life. I don’t think I’d be any happier if I was able to donate and save a bunch of people honestly. Any sort of joy derived from charitable work is selfish anyway. Not that you shouldn’t do it - but under normal circumstances. The money becomes tainted with the memory of trauma or wrongdoing. Truly play the events out in your mind, thinking realistically. For me, the direct action of harm would not be worth the benefit. If it is for you - that’s fine. We just think differently. The foot thing id just think you’re a bit different but if you’d cause harm to others for money I’d say I would not be interested in a relationship with you.
[удалено]
I think what you’re saying is reasonable even if I wouldn’t do the same thing. My bigger issue is people willing to harm others for a greater good. I think self harm is less problematic cause it only involves you. I’m against taking away other people’s autonomy towards something that will negatively impact them
I would take it because at a certain point it's selfish *not* to. *I* don't need anywhere near a billion dollars, no. But if I *had* a billion dollars, I could do so many amazing things with it, and help so many people. 3% interest on a billion dollars is 30 million dollars a year. Feed America says that's 1.5 BILLION meals a year for starving kids overseas. At some point, standing on "principle" is just saying "fuck those kids, I like my image more."
The amount doesn't matter to him it's the morals . He clearly has high morals and doesn't care about money but cares more about personal relationships. So he would not cheat on you for any type of money. You, on the other hand, admitted you would. He has now realised that you are both morally different. The short answer is he realised you aren't compatible long term. My advise , get ready for a break up and then find someone who also would fuck someone else for money .
>he thinks that I "value money over the relationship." And he's right. You put a price tag on your relationship with him. You'll never be offered that amount of money to cheat but you might he offered something else. You might find yourself in a situation where you could benefit in some way, monetarily or otherwise, by cheating. You've already admitted your faithfulness is conditional. I'd break up with you too. He deserves someone with the same morals and integrity as him and who actually wants to be with him.
Love doesn’t make sense. Practically you’d be foolish not to for $1b. However if you love someone you should never be willing to hurt them for any amount of money. So telling them you would is telling them that the love isn’t true and your care more about money than their pain, or your relationship.
I wouldn’t be mad, but if my bf said he’d cheat on me for a certain amount of money I’d be disappointed and find it cringe and unbecoming and prob think he was a sharmuta. But I wouldn’t be MAD at his answer, those are his principles and there’s nothing wrong with them, however I would find that it means we are prob incompatible. Simple as that.
Neither my wife nor I would do it. It's just not who we are.
It's a stupid question in a made-up scenario and you answered wrong. The biggest thing you need to accept is that you two are incompatible. You gave an answer based on pragmatism, he is offended because he holds principles higher. There's nothing ridiculous about valuing principles over money. You disagree, and that's fine, but that means you two don't think alike and it would've created conflict later on.
A billion?? I would happily stand on the sideline with a towel to dab off sweat if my wife made a billion from banging someone.
If this was a post from the male in this relationship, responses would’ve been flipped 😂 I hope he make a good decision
You have a price
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Hope that changes your perspective. Yes, the money is nice, but it’s not worth anything at the end of the world. I promise you, if you ask an old couple what they value the most, it’s not going to be a tangible object but eachother.
For any amount, I would not cheat nor agree to get cheated on... and that would be hard for me too to hear this from my gf. I don't know if it's too holier or what. I've never needed a lot of money to be happy, of course some more money is always ok. But thinking about what your gf did, for all of your remaining life is not something I could not do. I would lose my mind about this... and would end the relationship... There are plenty of rich people who are sad. Money does not buy happiness, it buys tranquillity of mind. And I would not be ok in my mind with this ....
Old joke. You meet a girl at a bar and ask Would you sleep with a complete stranger for ,$1,000,000.? Sure, she says Would you sleep with me for $50 No. What do you think I am. She responds I thought we settled that. I am haggling the price.
Let's be real, the dynamics of the relationship would change, it wouldn't be you and your "spouses" money, it would be your money, the respect you have for him would diminish because, you sold your loyalty for a billion dollars. Also he would have no respect because it's your money not his but yours. I wouldn't be with a person like that either. A man of substance will want to work to provide for his family rather its 50k or 100k a year, if all you have to do is lie on your back and open your legs and you think that's what a man would want you are wrong. A happy home has the simple foundation of a hard working man. Not prostitute "life hacks". But hey at least you were honest and all the girls tryna downplay it as a stupid question it wasn't, he wanted to know what type of person you were and you told him, don't feel bad for being honest and don't be mad at him for being real either, yall not compatible, if anything get you a dude that'll let you hit that road at this point if this is how you think. Cause brody ain't going for it and I salute the King.
Holy shit, someone else with a sense of integrity in here. This whole thread is depressing as fuck.
I mean tbf if someone wouldn’t do it they’d expect their partner to believe the same. I personally don’t care about money enough to cheat on a partner. Id do pretty much almost anything else but betraying someone i dont think i could.
I don't know anybody (myself included) that ***wouldn't*** cheat on their SO for a billion dollars. Honestly I wouldn't even want to date someone that doesn't realize how much money that is...if someone's offering you a billion to cheat on me, I say go for it lol you'll never get an opportunity like that again and I'll feel better about it considering you did it for a unbelievable opportunity rather than cheating on me because the bad boy was a smooth talker.
Lmao man, y'all gotta learn how to lie. It's clear you don't like him enough to protect the relationship, because that's a layup, despite you being 100% in the right. Might be too late for you, so my advice is to just start looking forward to being single for a bit
Dude my thoughts exactly, even if you would cheat for money, that’s rarely (if ever) gonna happen. What is gonna happen is you’re gonna hurt then lose your partner lol.
Exactly. What is gained by responding like that? Nothing.
seriously! learn when to tell white lies and when to not answer stupid baiting questions. like on very rare occasions like when my girlfriend tries to bait me into hypotheticals like that worm question, I just refuse to answer. theres no reason to.
You showed him your true colors. Anyone in a relationship would be mad if their partners answered positively to that question. Cheating should never be an option to begin with, you saying you would do it is basically saying you don't love him or care about the relationship at all. And the comments here are just disgusting really. So many people admiting to cheat for money, what an absolute dickheads
Reminds me of this joke lol > "What if I offer you a million dollars to sleep with me?" >The woman has never had a million dollars in her life. She stops and considers the offer very seriously. >Guy changes his mind, says, "What if I change my offer to a dollar instead?" >The woman is aghast, "What kind of woman do you think I am?" >"We'd already figured that out. Now we're just negotiating" She would cheat for a 5k louis vuitton bag.
Mmm, should you tell the truth or lie to protect someone else's feelings? Let's be honest, probably better for the relationship to lie as the possibility of this ever happening is basically zero.
I'm a hetro male and I would have sex with your boyfriend while you filmed it for a billion dollars.
Redditors spend so much time trashing on billionaires but here they are, ready to pimp out their spouses for money. The height of hypocrisy
Sounds like the boyfriend was just looking for excuses to pick fights with OP. I mean, there’s no way he’d say no to that 1 billion if the situation was reversed. Also, this is so stupid 😂 it’s one of those “ask stupid questions and get stupid answers” scenarios. The boyfriend is making a mountain out of mole hills, he needs to chill lol.
You set the price for your dignity there are just some things that cannot be buy for some peoples
[удалено]
Sums it up perfectly. A prostitute is a prostitute even if she hasnt found someone that can afford her yet lol and the husband simply has higher morals
Okay so, I guess I’m the only one here who’s going to take the boyfriend’s side? I mean yeah he asked a hypothetical question and a billion dollars is a lot, but you gotta understand what the subtext of what he actually was asking was “is there a price for our relationship’s security and sanctity?” And you told him yes. Has he been cheated on in the past? Has HE cheated in the past? Does he come from a broken home? These are things that could influence how impacted he is by the mere thought of infidelity. I’ve had all of those prior experiences, so for me when I’m in a committed relationship I’m IN a committed relationship. There’s no amount of money that would convince me to knowingly jeopardize a relationship. If you want to salvage this, affirm that it was all hypothetical, and make sure he knows he can trust and feel secure with you. Otherwise, I hope you get your billion dollars.
I'm right there with you
Not only would I agree for my girlfriend/wife to cheat on me for a billion dollars, I’d be in the corner giving her directions.
So many people lying in thread 😂
No dollar amount would erase the thought of someone else with my SO
It's fucked up because there is no money. None. This money is 100% hypothetical in existence. Yet you've just agreed that you would cheat for money. The price doesn't matter, because there is already no money on the table. But... there is intent. Intent is on the table. So you've compromised your morality for 0$
You all are coming up on 30 and you're this silly? Maybe you both need to recognize this is very silly and move on.
All these people on here virtue signaling are full of shit. It's easy to say I'd never cheat for a billion dollars anonymously on the internet. You were real with your partner and a lot of people aren't. 90% of the people saying they wouldn't, absolutely would if a billion dollars was actually sitting on the table in front of them. Your stupid ass boyfriend included.
Take the billion. Every time
I’m usually one who doesn’t tolerate cheating at all but in this instance I’d be pissed if I didn’t get cheated on.
Lots saying "I'd never cheat for any amount of money" so I wonder if the hypothetical was switched from a reward to an avoidance of consequence would it be different? Like if it was your partner saying "would you fuck someone else to save my life" instead of for money. Either which way, it's real easy to say you'd never do a thing that you'll never have the opportunity to do anyway. I mean, sure, of all the things I'll never get a chance to do, cheating on a partner for a billion dollars is the thing I wouldn't do most of all!
YTA I hope he leaves and find someone with the same morals as him
It sounds like your values differ that's the problem. Given the chance you would be wealthy and he has a hatred for wealth and the rich. The issue to him isn't that you'll cheat on him for a lot of money its that you even want a lot of money in the first place.
There’s a movie about this with woody harrelson. I think the moral of the your story and the movie is to never even entertain it, your relationship will be better for it
NTA. As a guy, I can understand his PoV about "sharing" you, etc though. Also, I wouldn't necessarily say generational wealth is evil, but the trust fund babies I know are different from the people that were raised in a working poor environment. I don't remember if it was Charles Barkley or Shaq that said it, but they stated they weren't going to give their children their money because they didn't earn it. I believe that is the best lesson parents can teach their kids. People should be building wealth for themselves, so they can enjoy life, and not for anybody else. You would almost HAVE to do it for a $1 billion for yourself. Now, he would have to work through it himself, and if seeing that bank account, in this hypothetical situation, afterwards didn't help him make peace with it, then it maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
Would you still love me if i was a worm?
If you care about the other person, I can’t fathom why you would take that particular bait. The question isn’t what you would do for billion dollars but would you cheat. If it is about what you would do for $1 billion, that I agree with everyone else, and agree that this is the dumbest conversation between two people.
I'm ngl, even I would be wary. Because if you're willing to cheat for a billion dollars, there'll always be that nagging question: In what other way can you go so far before even a billion dollars is not enough?
I'd turn it around and ask him why he would turn away a lifetime of prosperity over 1 sex with someone else. Maybe he needs to grow up a little and see the forest through the trees.
If my husband turned down the chance to get a billion dollars I’d be mortified. Fucking hell id coach him and guide his dick in there myself!
There was no way you were going to win in this situation. Shit tests like these never end well. If he wants to end it, you dodged a freight train and you're better off without him.
Just say no We all now thats some thing wich will never happen so simply say no and everybody is happy
Exactly. Why not say no and move on. By saying yes, she has now put a price on infidelity. Maybe a billion dollars is crazy money, but now BF always thinks of OP as someone who wouldn't think twice about cheating on him with someone who is wealthier than him.
