Together
No, because—even though money doesn’t exactly flow freely and sometimes we’re broke by the end of the month—we’re a team, a family. He grew up in an institution, I’m not in touch with my family, so it’s just the two of us.
Business
Well, my wife and I have only stayed together for years because we share a business, and neither of us can—or wants to—buy the other out. So my answer is: yes, I’d leave as fast as possible.
Practical
As a woman, I consider myself pretty rational. There’s nothing wrong with my husband, but after 13 years together, neither of us is wearing rose-colored glasses anymore. When we started out, we had nothing. After tons of hard work, strict saving, and a brutal loan, we finally moved into our own place—and we’re still paying it off. I’m not saying I don’t love him or that my life is bad, but if money didn’t matter, I think we’d agree to go our separate ways and part on good terms.
Out of the Question
My wife is the mother of my children—there’s no amount of money that would make me leave her.
It’s a Gamble
Since I’ve only been with my partner for a year and a half, right now I’d say I wouldn’t leave for any amount of money—we’re head over heels for each other. But I’ve been in love before, and those loves ended, so I’m not sure I’d say the same five years from now…
Without a Trace
I’d leave my husband without packing a thing—just walk out the door and never look back.
Sharp Turn
If you’d asked me a few months ago, I’d have said no without hesitation. But since then, my husband had an episode that shook our marriage to its core. He refuses to see a professional or take medication, but something’s wrong with his mind. One night, out of nowhere, he had an aggressive outburst at a party—he fought with his brother, threatened to kill me, and started moving toward me. I don’t know what would’ve happened if his friends hadn’t held him back. He passed out and didn’t remember a thing the next day. Since then, I live in fear of that monster coming back. I moved here from the countryside and work part-time, so I can’t just leave. If money didn’t matter, I’d leave.
Sacrifice
My husband was just my boyfriend when I had my accident, and he never left my hospital bedside for a second. For years, he helped me through recovery, physical therapy, and dark times when I didn’t want to live. He married me, giving my life meaning. I’d never leave him, not for all the money in the world.
New Life
If money didn’t matter, could I just leave this awful man, secretly buy plane tickets for myself and the kids to the Dominican Republic (which has no extradition treaty with Hungary), move into a beautiful house, and live happily ever after like Marci passionately dreams? Absolutely!
The Woman
Without a second thought. I’d hire the best lawyer—actually, the TEN best lawyers—to make sure this guy barely sees the kids, and we’d be over it, no looking back.
