    Yes and I'd pay a load of escorts to hit on him for the following six months so he'd be thinking "hey, I don't need her" and then I'd cut him off very abruptly at the exact same time as I'd plaster facebook with photos of me doing loads of very expensive things that he loves with my new and very handsome boyfriend who I've bought. I'd also pay anyone he looks up to text him and tell him he's shit, like that bit in South Park with Radiohead and Scott Tennerman. And then I'd start paying the escorts again, and repeat until I've spent all my money making him into an emotional wreck. Let's see him leave his stupid socks on the bloody floor THEN.

    No way! You can't put a price on true love.





    Plus at my current OH's salary and assuming at least another 25 years working life, it wouldn't be a prudent investment.

    The people who say no will likely get divorced, get cheated on, cheat, break up etc anyways soon enough.
    I would but I'd sneakily send her half.

    Maybe Id send her a bit less than half actually.

    If you had asked me this 2 months ago, I would have said no way. Love is priceless blah blah blah.

    So 2 months ago, we moved in together and I got a blast of reality, so listen up, guys that are thinking of moving in with your girlfriend, you will not and I STRESS, you will not get the ride every night :(

    Give me the money :D

    Wouldn't you want to kill yourself if you walked in them riding someone else a week later after turning it down.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test
