Would you rather give up your spouse OR all of your retirement savings, pensions, assets, etc.?

Now that's a tough call. I'd have to work till death OR lose the wife and retire at 65 or so.





Of course, at 65 my wife will be an old bag -- so show me the money!



oh that is really sad. i would live in a box under a bridge if that was the only way i could be with my fella. if he told me tomorrow that he wants to live in a tent and train hop through canada, i would gladly go with him. because being home with my tv, computer and electricity sounds terrible without him. and being homeless sounds wonderful if i just get to be with him. i feel sorry for you. it is sad that you don't have love.




Neither. I would want the option for an alternative lifestyle.





If you have a wish to loose the wife, the assumption would be that you no longer love her. If she still loves you; then, the kindest thing that you could do would be honest with her. It would be emotionally hard on her at first; but, perhaps, once it all sinks in--that, you cannot make someone love you, the idea of an open marriage might be agreeable to the both of you (Think about it: If you do not love her, it would not bother you to see her with another man... You'd want for her to be happy; but, for financial reasons, you could tell her that you'd like to stay married). With all that you say that you have financially, and assuming that you make more money than she does, she might not want to give up the comfortable life style that you have built together.





For your wife to stay faithful to you until she is an "old bag" would be heartless on your part, especially when it is assumed you do not love her.





In essence, an alternative life style would allow you to, "lose the wife," and (Not "OR") keep the money.




Eddie you know my situation with my husband pretty well, but as the father of my children and the super hard worker he has been with his physical health not being so good, for it I would have to say no. I would give up everything I have or anything good that I might get to make the really important stuff in marriage to work better. I can't take it with me when I go anyway, I just want his heart.




I know it sounds hateful, but I really think I would give up my spouse. I love him, don't get me wrong....but, when I'm old and frail and have medical expenses, love isn't going to pay for them. Being old is expensive, trust me I know. I have worked as a home health aide and I saw first hand how much these people had to spend on equipment, supplies, prescriptions, etc.




Well, of course you know what I'm going to say, and you're right. If I was married to a nice guy, I would want to keep him, though.




I would lose the money and keep my man. You can make more money, you can't always find love like that again.




well seeing the the financial crisis took all of my savings, retirement.. i have no choice but to keep him.




I'll take hubby over any money or possessions any day!

Ha..I can't give up hubby.. he "IS" my retirement! Poor guy! He is so used and abused.

give it all and keep my husband
