Would you marry for money?

Hmmm. Money would certainly make my worries easier. Love certainly didn't!

When I was young I had a very pretty friend who said she was going to marry for money. She did and discovered many years later that he had another family as well!

I have many worries in my life, as I'm sure most of us have. Not one of mine would be solved by money.

I've known various ladies over the years who have married the person they considered was good partner material, rather than someone who sets their pulse racing. Ideally, it'd be nice to have both, with lots of cash thrown in for good measure.

My first husband was poor when we married, and a millionaire when I left him. Believe me, money means nothing when there is no love.

I have often wished I had!

I've a widowed friend who did and she's very happy. "I like him well enough" she said.

Yes, that's a very good point. Hopefully the imaginary marriage would include plenty of time apart.

I don't see how such a relationship could 'work' - I can find it hard enough at times to live with my DH whom I love truly, madly, deeply

Unless it was Donald trump, obviously. No principles, and absolutely no taste!

As long as both parties know the situation I don't see it as lacking principles.

If I was single:
If he looked like Donald Trump then no.
If Brad Pitt begged me to marry him I might just consider it.

No, I couldn't/wouldn't do that.....

Never ......anyone who marries for money has no principles
Marrying for a comfortable lifestyle is worth diddly squit if there's no love

No I would not- I would have to love the fellow.

Oh I don't know. I guess I was thinking about more a very comfortable living, with no worries at all about finances?

How much money are we talking about?

Was made that offer after a ten-year relationship which had gone cold.Refused as politely as I could. He remains a close family friend.

Its crossed my mind lately that providing the man was a nice chap, and we were friends, at least, I would probably marry for a comfortable lifestyle.

I'm not single but have a friend who married the father of her child even though she didn't love him. She wanted security for her son. I didn't envy her at all.

He died ten years ago and left her a very wealthy woman . Do I envy her now?

A sneaky little bit of me does but I don't think I could have done it.

Oh, nobody has asked me, it was just a general question.

I am not not single but No. Money alone will not make you truly happy. If you don't love and respect your partner then you will always be looking for more. My advice fwiiw is don't do it. Love has no price.
