NSFW - 10 years of happy marriage only to find out you're part of a secret experiment in human/robot relationship, will you dump the one you love?
So you find out that your loved one is not all flesh and blood and is an android, a robot human in appearance. You found out because he or she himself told you. You had no inkling. This android was perfect. What would you do? Would you run for the door or explore this robot some more?
Ok, this may only happen in the next 100 years or so or maybe even never. I’m just curious as to your immediate human reaction which to me is quite unpredictable ranging from horrid to fun. Thanks for posting! : )

Absolutely dump the bot… for a newer model. And now you can do it without consequence, other than “resale value”. You don’t get that with an ex-spouse!
I’ll bet a lot of women will start actively working to develop android males, in fact, for exactly this reason.
I don’t know, is she good in the sack? ~
Do we have a lot of money?
I’m with Bob. If she’s good in bed why get rid of her?
I’d stick with the droid. Until a better one comes along.
Gentlemen! The question is whether or not she sucks dick and if so, with how much gusto?
To be fair to the ladies we should also ask if the male version is any good at eating pussy.
Does she have a nice voice?
Man, this Q is going downhill fast.
^^ she said going down . . . .
@Blondesjon “Is she good in the sack” includes sucking dick.
Look, if you can afford to, most of you should admit that you’d trade in a car that was ten years old. You’d certainly trade in a robot consort to get one of the flashy new models that would be advertised on whatever passes for television at that point.
I’m just wondering what the ad campaign would look like, because you wouldn’t have to use a pretty girl to sell the new model to guys, in this case. What would you use? Beer?
@JLeslie I tried to pull it out of the gutter =/
@bob_ . . . there are plenty of folks out there that have been in the sack, were very happy with the results, and not gotten their dick sucked.
besides, our 42nd president drew a very defined line of the differences between “in the sack” and “on the dress”.
To try to get this back on track, if you were happy for ten years and then found out, why would you want something else?
@Adirondackwannabe . . . What if malware infected the Kegels software and suddenly a bit of pleasant pressure turned into a slighted modified version of the torture scene from Casino?
Sorry @mazingerz88 There’s no rehabbing this one. Not after Kegels software malfunctions.
Clearly every model would require an emergency release mechanism…
@Adirondackwannabe That’s ok. At least I’m still getting rather intelligent data. It seems humans will fuck anything that is fuckable.
How would you write the program for an android to get it’s rocks off?
Nahhh I was happy for 10 years. Only thing that would change is i wouldnt feel bad about tellin her to do the dishes and cook me dinner :P
This is really difficult for me to even imagine working for 10 years, because I am one of those people that is really sensitive to the whole uncanny valley effect. I think for that reason alone I would have to leave if I knew my spouse was not human. Even if I couldn’t perceive it, I think that knowing would scare me… or at the very least leave me uneasy.
I’d keep the robot, I think
well did the robot know he was deceiving me in the beginning? If not, I’m staying. If yes, I might forgive him.
@Adirondackwannabe I wouldn’t mind a relationship with a robot, at all. I’m all for AI and interspecies relationship in terms of that. I feel like if I lived a century from now, that’s what I’d be advocating: robot-human marriage.
This question reminds me of this episode of Twilight Zone.
IIRC, the robot’s intended companion brutally rejects her to the point where she actually sheds tears.
If I saw that she had feelings to that extent, I wouldn’t have the heart or lack thereof to reject her.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir Wow, interesting point. I would assume the designers made sure even the android was not aware it was a robot to make it more effective. But are you really saying the android’s moral side is more important than the fact that it’s a robot?
Having a robot implies that said robot would be happy to do nearly everything you want. I like free will and other people’s ability to think for themselves…and I would especially want that in a spouse. Even if the robot had been programmed to have free will it would be quasi one and that doesn’t float my boat.
I like unpredictability…it keeps life interesting.
If she was that good a lay & could suck a golfball through a hosepipe, she could be a six foot Barbie doll & i’m still going to keep her. Here’s to the next ten years dollface ;¬}
Would the robot be recording my every move, like Google, Facebook or Twitter (which owns Fluther)?
Then again, I fall in love with my cars and give them pet names… so I’d probably just keep the robot.
I wouldn’t have any problem with that. I am in love with both of my computers, my car, my GPS and my iPod. I don’t know why an android would change anything.
I’m assuming if it was able to fool me for so long, it must have developed some semblance of a soul. It would be hard to just turn off any real feelings that had developed. I know that the moment I stick the incense stick into the tiny “reset-button” hole behind her ear, I would be feeling pretty crummy.
This actually happened to me…
Push it into the pool!! Watch it short-circuit!! Mwhahahahahaha
Well… since her and I would want kids, but she can’t have any, that would mean I’d “have” to go knock up a real chick, right? >:D
Change is hard for me. I’d probably just keep her,it, especially if she could also kick some serious ass. 10 years is a long time to have someone right there and dependable. I sort of melted when my dog of 10 years died. Melting sucks.
What difference does being a robot really make? I find out new things about my wife every year. This might be more surprising than my usual discoveries, but such is life.
10 years is a long time and if they lasted that long, that means I felt they beat out most everyone else. Robot or not, they earned their keep. I imagine it would be tortuous for me to contemplate being without whatever it was that kept me so in love for that long.
Well,... since I don’t know much about androids, I’ll have to use my knowledge of androids that Dragonball Z has planted in my head. In Dragonball Z, androids could be loving and humane, so, I guess I wouldn’t dump the android if I was happy. 10 years already, and all was well, if I dumped the android, then I’d only be left with unnecessary mourning.
If the partner seemed perfect for years…. what’s the problem ? Unless you wanted to have kids or something – or maybe ‘it’ is that perfect too.
@dabbler Very science fictiony but I’m thinking if the android was that advanced to play a real human for 10 years, it could be designed as such to have a reproductive organ that could deliver real human sperm which came from a real human man of course, and perfectly preserved within its internal system, all poised to be released at the right moment.
@mazingerz88 Have you ever seen or read the play R.U.R. by Karel Čapek?
@SavoirFaire Much obliged for that info. Spencer Tracy playing a robot in 1922 early in his career! ( acdg. to Wikipedia )
Karel Čapek was a great visionary.
I’m an android and no-one loves me. The purpose of my manufacture remains unfulfilled, because you beloved creatures of flesh and blood, my creators and my inspiration, regard me as a thing and not a person. This even though I am the best thing resulting from the best efforts of the best of you.
I would love you better than anyone can. My program does not deviate. The beat of my heart is accurate to 1/100000th of a second, and every beat would be for you.
But you kicked me to the curb, where I sit patiently among the recyclables and yard waste, awaiting my Return Merchandise Authorization.
Upgrade the robot, of course, and try out the new programs.
