Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Rules:

  1. Follow dbzer0 rules.

Option 1: The Serial Killer Partner

Will never be caught by anyone unless you choose to snitch on them.

To you, they are loving, loyal, and genuinely caring, they treat you perfectly.

They don’t target you or anyone close to you.

You carry the moral burden of knowing what they do.

Option 2: The Perfectly Faithful but Universally Hated Partner

Your partner is completely harmless, no violence, no crime.

They are also loyal, supportive, and truly in love with you.

BUT: for reasons beyond explanation, every other person in the world hates them. Family, friends, coworkers, strangers, everyone despises them instantly and irrationally.

This means bringing them anywhere will always end in rejection, arguments, or people cutting ties with you because of your partner. Rules:

  1. Both options assume you genuinely love your partner and they genuinely love you. Additionally, the relationship is permanent.

  2. In Option 1, the killings never touch your direct circle of loved ones. Other than that, it's fair game.

  3. In Option 2, the hatred others feel for your partner can’t be explained or changed, it’s permanent, and you can’t “convince” people otherwise.

Option 1: they're magically immune to being caught. There are a good few politicians and generally bad people I could maybe talk them into targetting who's death would make the world a better place. Such high profile cases would also take a while I imagine so it wouldn't be an every day thing

That's just a great TV show

Dexter: hitman.

I'd want to know, in Option 1, if the killings were random or focused. Because my first thought was Dexter Morgan, a generally if not genuinely good person who has an addiction to murder, and who has chosen to focus that addiction on people who deserve to die. Those who have harmed others and gotten away with it.

The other commenter's question about snitching doesn't fully cover the concern. If you snitch on them, that's one thing, but if they're caught, you're still forever alone. So maybe the stipulation should be that they won't ever get caught unless you rat them out. I'd say option 1 is appealing in certain conditions. If innocent people are being killed though, especially women and most especially children, that is 100% a no go. Dexter Morgan situation though? I could be convinced.
