Would you leave your spouse under these circumstances?

Poll question: Would you leave your spouse under these circumstances?

(disclaimer..I am not leaving my husband..this thread is inspired by the Judy Guiliani story and what happened to a friend/coworker of mine's mother..)

While I write this from a woman's perspective...it could apply to either sex..

Let us say that your current financial situation is rocky...you are middle class but struggling to get by and it never seems like there is enough cash for the things you or your kids need. You love your spouse but not in the honeymoon phase way...more like the we are good partners and lovers...

Then...you get a job working for a new company...a bit more money to help out and you are feeling better about the new situation. This job however puts you in contact with one of the Vice Presidents...a guy who makes a great deal of money and is already well off...you don't work directly for this person.

However this VP is attracted to you and you find yourself going to lunch and perhaps spending some time talking at work with him about all kinds of topics.

Let us say a year passes...you still kind of love your spouse but you find that you are just as attracted and very likely in love with the VP however he is pressing you for more (let us say for sake of argument..you have been friends but no sex has been involved). He wants to be with you and has even put marriage on the table...(let us say that the VP is single in this case)...he has promised you the moon and the stars and he is ready to leave this company for a more lucrative offer elsewhere...$10 million in stock options...luxury living..etc)...all you have to do is leave your spouse and come away with him to the famed "casbah"....

Now remember...your marriage isn't a wreck...it is just a normal..ups and downs situation...
The only difference between your current spouse and the prospective one should you leap...is the money...the guy/gal is loaded and your life will make a sudden upturn for the better...

Would you do it?
