Would you be nice enough to do this for your soon

Let's say while you were in the process of getting the divorce you won the lottery. Would you share your winnings with your soon to be ex spouse? I am asking because this really happened and the guy shared his winnings with his soon to be ex wife and they didn't even have kids together.

I mean soon to be ex spouse

Yes

Well that would depend on why you were splitting up in the first place. if it was him leaving or infidelity on his part then I probably wouldn't!

However I think that by law, is the ticket was purchased before you split and with your joint monies then the spouse is legally entitled to 50% . That would be the other consideration, dont know if 50% would be what I was willing to give so there would have to be some secrecy on how much was won etc!

Yes .. regardless of reasons for break-up.

He has taken care of me for 26 years, in whatever ways he was able ... so, I would feel like he would be deserving of some money if I won the lottery.

Are you sure P— If you were traded in for a younger model can you honestly say that you would still be willing to give half away for him to throw at her—

LOL Hell no! I don't do ex's.......at all.
I've never left a relationship on friendly terms. In fact it's always been all out war.
But I don't have kids so that might make a difference. If he had joint custody of course I'd want my children to have a nice place to live when they are with Dad. 🙂 Awwwww... I'm so sweet! LOL

I would say yes too....that might be a sign that they need to stay together...maybe the money will bring them closer together...most people break up because of money problems anyway

I would only do it if we had children together so my answer is no.

I'm absolutely sure, sweathearts.

I'm assuming that most people are answering this question, standing on a position where they aren't in a long-term committed relationship and are judging according to unstable relationships where you never are really quite sure if you can absolutely trust the other, and rely on the other completely with your life.

I know I could trust my husband with my life, I know that he would give me anything he has or could if I'm in need .... anything. That's not a hope or a wish .. I KNOW he would because he has.

If a situation happened where he fell in love with another person and left me ... then I'd be happy for him. Would I be hurt? Of course, but, I wouldn't seek revenge against him.

He would be deserving .. deserving ... to get half no matter the reason for the breakup, and I am absolutely positively sure that I would honor this .... because he has honored me, and given to me for 26 years.

WEll I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty damn judgmental especially in reltionships. I'm not an easy person to be with. Depending on how the relationship ended is what I'd base it off of.
If he left me for another woman. Hell no
If it were a mutal break with respect. Maybe depending.....
Kids involved... Yes. I've been a child with divorced parents. It sucks. My parents made us choose and fought plainly and very dirty in front of us. I'd never do that to my kids. I'd do whatever I could to bury the hatchet (and not in my ex's head) and be friendly for the sake of my kids. UNLESS he proved himself to be an ustable father who put another womans interest over his own blesh and blood. Then there would be problems between he and I.

@ P

Cool glad your 100% certain, having just come out of a separation and one that was quite amicable I know for a fact that when others get involved it can start to turn things in ones mind! particularly SOLICITORS, (it's their job to drag things out as long as possible and they are good at stirring) & family & mutual friends. The tug of war is harder than some would think and to add to it money plus wrongful doing...you'd have to be quite a person to be able to stand your ground through it.

I'm with you Ging, if they are deserving then yeah no problem but if they are a rat then Hell No!!! And I'd probably rub it in just to see the reaction!!!!

No I wouldn't. I don't care to share.

Is that your real picture MM?

LOL..no sweethearts...But I can relate to the chick..so I put it up..

She's the nutjob school girl from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill...with the ball and chain at the end...violent lil' madame

I suppose it would depend on how it ended.
I'm pretty generous and if I still loved her, absolutely.

The reality of marriage in this shitty world we live in is...
Sometimes love just isn't enough.

MM, you still brooding and lingering in your dark mood? 🙂

LOL..No..I am fine now VHero, thanks for remembering 🙂

Oh not one for those types of movies but funny I relate to you because of that pic.

Maybe so Vhero, but love will see you through to a nice friendship when all is said and done. With love generally comes respect. And at the end of it all it's nice to be able to maintain that sort of relationship with someone you invested so much time with🙂
