Moral Dilemma - Do you break a promise made to your ex?

[Reverend Conehead]

You have an awesome girlfriend, so you think. She's kind, compassionate, and gorgeous, and a great cook. You're in a good profession, earning excellent money, and enjoying life with your girlfriend. For your birthday, she records a very enjoyable video for only you, in other words, for your eyes only, if you know what I mean. It makes your heart race. You love this girl. You go on fun vacations together. So you decide she's the one. You're going to pop the question, and you buy a ring.

Then she drives a locomotive over your heart. She cheats on you with your best friend and with a rugby player from Camaroon named Hoobloop. Then she empties your bank account of all 150K that was in there and uses that money to go on a world cruise with Hoobloop, and sends you numerous post cards from all over the world, taunting you. It's total betrayal in so many ways.

You spiral down into depression and drink too much, and lose your job. In desperation, your family sends you to rehab and you get better. After some 10 years, things are going better, and you're in a good job earning good money again.

You are then approached by a tabloid TV show/web site named Peekaboo-Cheese. Turns out, your ex has become an ultra celebrity and film star. This tabloid has somehow found out that you possess that private video of her in which she had revealed so much for your eyes only. You had promised to never let anyone else see it. Peekaboo-Cheese offers you 5.8 million dollars for it.

The moral dilemma: Do you break your promise to keep the video private?

option 1
Yeah, baby. Break that promise and earn that 5.8 mil

option 2
Refuse to sell. You're a man of your word no matter what.

option 3
Sell the video, but only keep 150K (plus a normal interest rate) to make up for the money she stole, and then donate the rest to a worthy charity.

option 4
Call up your ex and demand your 150K (plus interest) back or you'll sell the video. Sell the video only if she refuses.

What is your choice?

Option 4 is extortion, or blackmail. I would approach her and ask her to return the money now that she is a big celebrity. Without connecting her payment to the sale of the video I would also remind her I have the video. Let her offer to buy the video back. If she refuses to pay me back, then I would check the "revenge porn" laws in my state - oh, goodie, my state only prohibits me from recording her without her consent. The law says nothing about a video she recorded herself and gave to me as a gift. Since she recorded it, there is implied consent. Since it was a gift, I own the rights to it, so I am free to keep it, post it online, or sell it to a 3rd party. Of course, if I choose to sell it, I would be happy to take $5.8 million if that is the highest bid.

There is no moral dilemma here. She broke all agreements and arrangements when she cheated on me and then stole all my money. I am only offering her a chance to make things right because I am a decent person. In reality, I would feel no obligations to give her the opportunity to pay me back or buy the video back.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong? How is this a moral dilemma?

She banged my friends and stole every cent. @#^%& is going down. It’s just gravy that I get $6 million out of it

 

[Tabascocat]

Option 5:

Get back in her good graces for few nights back in the sack, sleep with her best friends(that is plural!) and maybe hit on her Pilates coach if it’s female. I would then funnel out all of her $$$ to a bank in the Caymans. Leave her high and dry and still sell the videotape!

You devious son-of-a-gun... I'm in!!

Yeah, I don't see how this is a dilemma at all. Take the cash.

 

[nightrain]

I'll take option 1 for $5.8M, Alex.

 

[kskboys]

If this was an ultra sweet lady and she dumped you for cheating, that's a different matter.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

If this was an ultra sweet lady and she dumped you for cheating, that's a different matter.

What happened was you showed up to work where you have an attractive associate named Karina working and you said, "Hi, Karina, how are you?" Karina then answered, "I'm doing pretty good, thanks." Then you continued on with your work day. A video of the interaction got back to your girlfriend, and she claimed that was cheating.

ROFLMAO. You're ruthless.

 

[Jarntt]

Refuse to sell because all of the other options are illegal and you’ve now posted publicly about them…

 

[Mountaineerfan]

Is there really a question here? You have no moral obligation to a tramp. It would be different if you had stayed with her then she died or something crazy. 5.8 Million in presumably an account that can't be frozen.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Karma is a real thing. We tend to treat people according to how they act. Pedophiles getting put on the internet... that's karma. Murders spending life in prison...that's karma. A cheating husband being cheated on by his wife...that's karma. Karma is man made and I love it. So I'm taking the money form selling the video. She earned her karma.

 

[FloridaRob]

Send video to me so I can review it and see if it is worth it.

I don't know, but I just got scared for Zeke, it's him isn't it?
