    ..and you knew absolutely nothing about them or their personality, but if you refused, you were guaranteed to never have a relationship again, would you take the risk and accept?

    Let's say the person is very attractive but stands an equal chance of being an amazing partner and your one true love or a total psychopath who would make you miserable, aand if you accept you are never allowed to leave or divorce them. So would you take the chance that they're your true love or give up on love altogether, forever?

    Heh, I would decline and go curl up in a ball with my dog. That's a risk I don't want to take, as I've grown up with a psychopath. I would be okay with being alone.

    Here is my take on it. I do not want to be with anyone who I am not in love with. I am not going to marry someone just to get married even If it means I can never be in a relationship ever again, because I do not want to take a chance on being in a empty loveless marriage if that makes sense.

    I would have to say I'd give up on a relationship.

    I couldn't take the risk, especially if I wasn't sure at all if they'd even be halfway decent or someone I liked...let alone be forever stuck with the guy.

    I have yet to really date or be in a relationship anyways, so it's not like my life would be too much different, haha.

    Been there. Done that. Won't do it again. It would have to be a guy that was my soul mate. We would have to move to a state where gay marriage is legal.

    Reminds me of "The Taming of the Shrew." Poetic in comedy and romance, yet I've never trusted the authority of romantic-comedies upon reality. Plus I sorta hate "The Taming of the Shrew."

    Of course, it's a no brainier. Get a prenup and if you don't like them divorce.

    As said, you can't leave/divorce them if you accept

    I wouldn't ever! Not being in a relationship is okay. I could just grow old and live with my sister, and we could support each other!

    Absolutely most definitely not.

    I've pretty much already planned on never being in a relationship in the first place, so to run off and pull something like this would define insanity for me.

    Not only is it a risk with very high stakes, but it is one with a low chance of being better than a marriage where you very deliberately choose your partner. Absolute silliness to say yes IMO.

    Truthfully, I don't think it would be that bad, because....
    Chercheur, said that I couldn't leave. If he turns out to be a psychopath, he'll just have to leave....................in a stretcher!

    Loopholes! ^_^

    Thats actually a pretty difficult question, especially given that the chance of them being the 'one true love' is 50% rather than approx 1 in 7 billion like it would be normally. Maybe the stretcher loophole is worth some thought... :slight_smile:

    I'd do it. If I were living miserably with a psycho, at least that would be my life and I would be responsible for that. Sounds more interesting than anything I've known my whole life anyway.
