Say you're in a relationship and one of you decides to go on Mtv's The Real World...would you stay together?

Asked by Jharty89 (491points) January 7th, 2010

Me and my boyfriend had this discusson the other day. Not like either of us would go on the show, but we decided that we would have to break up if one of us was to go on. I have yet to see a person stay true to an outside relationship, and even if we were able to stay true to each other I know there would be a lot of drunk flirting/dancing and whatever else. That would KILL me to watch!!

What would you do if you were in this situation? Would you try to stick it out with them? Or would you decide to break up with them?

So long as he was honest about everything I would stay with him. I don’t consider it cheating unless I am lied to about what happens

Haha. Uh. Of course. I’m not retarded; I could be on the Real World and not act inappropriately with any of my housemates. I am attracted to so few people that I doubt I would even want any of them.

No… not out of fears of infidelity though. If he’s the kind of person who would go on that disgusting show, then there’s a whole lot of negative aspects about him I’ve somehow missed.

@Likeradar yea I definitley agree with that. I would be hurt anyway just knowing he would give me up to go on the show and pretty much party every night.

I could never date someone who would have the personality type to even be on one of those shitty shows.

Well in all likeliness if you really were the type of person that could stay true to an outside relationship, you probably wouldn’t be picked for the show.

@Jharty89 Not even that I’m so much more special than partying for a few weeks. There are some situations that would make it ok with me for him to go raise hell for a few weeks. But being on The Real World is not ok with me. I find that show to be such a disgusting display of narcissism and the opposite of everything I want a partner to be.

@Likeradar Yea this is true. There was one Real World season, I think it was last season, that I actually did think the people were cool though. The one where they had the soldier and the transexual. Those people were actually pretty interesting and down to earth. But then again, that season was more so interesting then just people going to clubs, hooking up, and starting drama. I just dont like how its set up for all that to happen too…like I dont mind at all my boyfriend going out and partying either but in the Real World its definitely different.

If I trusted him, then sure. It’s not a permanent thing, it’s not like he’s moving away for good. I’d have to trust him completely though. Shit goes down on that show. Temptations are abundant. I’d have to be positive that he wouldn’t give into any of them and respect me, himself, and what we have together.

I would go on that show and he’d be fine with whatever interaction because we’re in an open marriage – he’s seen me do sexual things with others before.

I would stop dating someone if I knew they watched MTV

Good grief that show is a bunch of immature idiots looking for fame.. but just wind up infamous!

If I dated a guy who seriously wanted to be, or was going to be, on that show I’d give him his walking papers and say Good Riddance!!

Yes, I would, hopefully it would include a free trip.

Probably not. Then again, stranger things have happened.
