Everyone has a Price.
We all saw the movie, Indecent Proposal. We saw the good and the bad. Lots of women probably wanted to be Demi Moore. I remember liking the bag that she had. I've been looking for something like that ever since but no luck as yet. Anyway, back to the movie ... when it just came out, with all my childish dreams, I thought she was crazy for accepting that offer. See what it got her. Was it really worth it?
Fast forward to now. Change it to $20 million and then ask the question: you are married and someone says hot sex for one month and I give you $20 million. What would you do?
Last night I had this same discussion. For most of the conversation I played devil's advocate. He said, sure do it! If my wife told me about this, I would say go ahead! He said he would talk to he guy and ask for the money first because now way he was going to risk him sending back his wife before the time was done and loose out on that money. And then he would warn his wife to not behave as she did at home and make sure that man was happy. The pimp! But gosh I couldn't blame him. I probably would say the same thing if it was my husband that came home with that proposal.
One part of me thinks Heck yes, I would do it. Twenty million for a month's work. And now I am thinking maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Maybe I wouldn't tell my husband about the deal and do it, divorce him and keep the money. I can buy another husband easy with that kind of money.
But now I am a bit offended about him sending me into another man's bed so easily. He says as soon as you told me I know you were already considering it otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it. Hmmmm, also true. But maybe the reason I did so is because I wanted him to say No! Not my woman! Be a bit of a caveman. Especially when I am testing you. Mind you guys all of this about a fictitious marriage.
So what would I do? One part of me, the ever present romantic side wants to decline the offer. I want to say No because my life is so perfect that not even that amount of money can persuade me to cheat on my perfect husband that I love through richness and poorness. I want to say No and then tell my husband about it and then he goes and beats up the other person.
But the realistic side of me says take the money you fool! Take the money and deal with the consequences later. You can pay a shrink to fix the baggage. Or pay a good divorce lawyer so you wouldn't have to share.
People say, and with people I mean my conversation partner, everyone has a price. The independent woman in me rebels at that thought and denies that vehemently. But when it really comes down to it, is he right? Do I have a price?
