As a spin off to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=569829) post: You are married or in an otherwise monogamous, serious relationship. A member of your preferred sex wants to have sex with you and offers you money. You can not discuss this with your spouse. How much money will you have to be paid for your spouse to not be angry that you slept with another? I’ll tell you what my answer was in a few. ---

Humm - I think he would be pissed, regardless, but I’ll have to ask him when he gets home from work. I would be pissed regardless. ---

I’m gonna need some sweet talkin’ as well. ---

I’d say she’d be more likely to be mad if I accepted money than if I did it for free. So $0. Yeah, she’s funny that way. So am I–probably has something to do with why we’re still together. ---

No amount. I’m sure we would stay together, but our relationship would be different. ---

No amount would erase the problem. I’d end up extremely rich, extremely single, and extremely miserable. ---

She has to find out? Then I can’t do it for any amount. ---

By the by, I said $250K for him to sleep with someone for money and me not be angry. ---

There’s no dollar amount that salvages the relationship after something like that, sadly. ---

Yeah, if I can’t discuss it with her first, there is no amount of money that will sway me. ---

Since my spouse and I have already discussed this scenario - I would put my price at a cool $1 million. That easily pays off our house, and handles the kids private school and college costs. Only addition is from the other thread (and part of our original discussion) - gotta be disease free, and the cash is in our joint account (not that we have anything else). ---

My wife has no fantasies about extreme wealth. There’s no amount of money that would make it OK. ---

If I can’t discuss my doing it with someone else, then there’s no way I would. If he got paid $100,000.00 (at least), we’d still be okay. ---

me: Spells out scenario to him. him: funny me: I’m guessing enough to pay off the mortgage on the new house would make you okay with it. (We’re moving in a few weeks) him: maybe BOTH mortgages. So about 500,000 is his not-so-mad money.
