Would you take it over your significant other?
You can only have one. There's no way to trick the system. You either have your special someone, or you're 10 million dollars richer.
It would probably help to add to your post a reason for your choice, how long you've been together, and how close you are (boyfriend, wife, stalker, etc.)
I will contribute to the thread shortly.
Also: if you're solo already, you're a loser and you're not allowed any choice.

Someone as uptight as yourself would clearly be single and offended by my joyous play.

Im not uptight, I just find it offensive that you call those not interested in a relationship of a romantic level for whatever reason to be a loser. And before you ask, yes I have had romantic relationships and have found in my experience that they are not worth my time.
Your topic is also completely one sided. Those who post will obvously post in favor of staying with their significant other as love cant, and shouldnt, have a price tag on it. Anyone who on the other hand posts otherwise in favor of the 10 million dollars is either BS'ing or in a relationship on the rocks (and why they would admit that to an international online community is anyones guess). |

I'd probably take the money.
Mostly because I've always wanted to start my own Private Security Firm and the kind i want ain't cheap
PLus i've realized that alothugh my girlfriend of a year is fun to be with, mine and hers personalities are too different to really do much mroe with...
plus, last time i checked, she doesn't come with a good dental plan  |

Hmm, tough choice.
You asked for a bit of background/reasoning... well, I'm a guy that's content with whatever it is he has (kind of a freelance contractor if you wish), and I only work at all when I need some extra cash, then live off the savings until they're almost gone. I wasn't always like that though (I used to travel, party a lot and other such things when in the university and soon after, but I "mellowed out" in time). Nowadays, I am downright spartan in my spendings, and could quite literally live most of the year not working anything at all.
My "significant other" ? The exact opposite of me right now. Sure, she's almost 4 years younger, and we've been together for almost 7 years (bit more than six and a half actually, but meh, will be 7 soon enough). We've spent a lot of our relationship in different cities or different countries, we've "cheated" on eachother (but always told the other) and we can nowadays openly talk about having sex with other people if the urge arises (not that it wouldn't bother any of us, but it's a long distance relationship right now, so it's understandable). She's hectic, energetic, runs her own jewelry bussiness and she's even attending a jewelrycrafting school abroad, for which she pays, of course, not me (one year down, one year to go). She travels a lot (and when I say "a lot", I mean "each and every chance she gets", whenever she can get the excuse of "sampling some jewelry from there", and sometimes not even that), and she complains to me when I tell her I find travelling an useless luxury.
In other words, I *know* she likes to have money *a lot*, but she never was the one to get them from me (except as a loan that always had to be repaid)... and I'm not the "gifting" type either, she's always complaining about that too (if she gets a gift for her birthday, one for Christmas and one for V-Day, that's a pretty good year, when she doesn't actually complain much). You may ask yourselves "why does she still stay with you"... but don't worry, we (half-jokingly) ask eachother the same question every now and then. It's definetely not money nor power (I don't have and don't desire more than strictly necessary), it's certainly not looks (well, ok, my face is kinda' nice, but I was a bit "heavy" when we first met, and I'm downright obese nowadays)... so it has to be either love, masochism or how good we understand eachother (even if we don't agree with eachother's lifestyle).
So... tell you what I'd do : I'd ask her the same question, but in her case, for 5 mil dollars.
If she leaves me, I have learned a 5 mil dollar lesson, and I am still 5 mil dollars richer than I was before (and with my spending habits, that would mean I could probably live off the interest as long as banking systems existed, if I could live that long).
Not much of a lesson though, I'm almost completely sure she'd dump me if I offered... she certainly would deserve some kind of "compensation" for our time together... but she'd be dead to me either way in case she did pick that.
If she decides to keep me... I'd have to be stupid as hell to let her go, wouldn't I ?

Hehe, love definately does have a price tag on it. Try and do things on the cheap with your significant other and she will leave you eventually. Fact.
Women are incredibly materialistic when it comes to relationships from the very first meeting (is he wearing expensive shoes / watch / jacket) to the end game (got to be the right address, turtle doves at the wedding)
Before you know it, you're paying for some chicks attention? Screw that, I'll take the ú10M any day and buy obedient non-nagging partners who haven't let themselves slide now that they are married)
Bitter? Nah, just experienced

This question reminds me of the episode of Futurama, where all Earthicans are issued with a $300 fun dollar bill. Although Fry sets his heart on 100 cups of coffee, Bender asks the significant question, 1 ú300 hooker-bot or 300 $1 hooker-bots?
Can we ditch our significant other, then spend the 10mill on drugs, drink, gambling and women? If so, then the question I put forward....10x 1mill hooker-bots or 10,000 $1000 hooker-bots?

Kirjave wins the forums today in my mindon the floor!!!
Hey, Akita if you do your research you can find out where I live. If your girl is in my neck of the woods send her my way. Me and my girl would have some fun . Well the "me and my girl thing sounded better, but I have not quite gotten her to that level yet. But that does not keep me from trying on the rare occasion.
As to Riethe...I would have to do with if I was married to a women, I would have to make the decision when the opportunity arose...I do not care for hypothetical situations since they are, well hypothetical. But as it has to do with my current girl, I think I would do the same as Akita...Tell her of the offer and if we agreed to split we would split the cash....I f decide to say that is not an option then I would say I would take the cash.
As I was typing I was thinking and would now say, "I highly doubt that I would leave someone that I vowed to spend my life with." Marriage is very serious commitment and the main reason that I am still not married. I will not be one that jumps into something like that and then 6 months later say o this does not work anymore.

So, the reason I actually put this thread up is because my 4 year anniversary is coming up, and a buddy of mine was teasing me that I'd spend that time other ways if someone offered me a large amount of money.
But, I think if I really did receive the offer I would have to stick to what I have already.
I definitely love financial freedom, and I'm a huge glutton, so expensive meals are nice. But I think that the way my career is going now, even if I didn't ever make nearly as close to that much money, I'd still be content with what I have as it is now.
Money is something you can always work for and gain.
Finding someone that is actually different and enjoyable to spend time with, and worth investing in, is not something that I find nearly as easy.

It's just a matter if you want to be sticking those 20 dollar bills into a pole-dancer's thong or if you want to spend it on meals and rare flowers from the highest mountain in Africa, and special creams and shoes and weird-ass jewelry, and all kinds of ridiculous crap.

10 Mil? Single life here I come!
Call me shallow or greedy but even though I am in a serious relationship with my GF (and probably going to be my wife eventually) I'd take the money. I'm sure she'd be broken up and sad but I know 5 mil would go a long way to making her feel better though

10m over the wife? Any day. 10m wrapped into a CD account pays with today's percentages $450,000 a year in passive income.
Not only can I finally have my own house and leave the toilet seat up if I want to, drink beer all day, and do absolutely nothing, but I can pay someone to clean it up, and not complain about it (at least in a language I wouldn't understand).
Feeling lonely? Head downtown and pick up a hottie.
About to die? Get another hooker! Who says you need to die alone? You've got money son!
No more "do this, do that" no more "why dont you want to have kids" no more "but honnnnneeyyyyyyy"
Now, it's "yes master, I'll do anything for you". Hah. I frackin win.
