PARTY HARD!!!!
That doesn't change the fact that casting off the first love to slavery would be unimaginably horrible. At least where I'm concerned.

Yes, but you can't make it any better, so why worry about it?
It's like worrying that your one true love is dead already. It sucks, but the proper thing to do is to acknowledge that and get over it, not kill yourself.
I'm convinced that our modern day analogues to ancient scholars are comedians. -0dd1
"True love" doesn't exist, by virtue of human nature. But that's a different topic for another day.

Can I KCK it?
@Anonym But the person was already a slave in the first place.

I still wouldn't want to leave them alone. I wouldn't accept such.
I've already done the whole sociopath/hardening of the heart thing. It isn't very nice. Or good, rather.

It's easy, mmkay?
Buy, free, marry, campaign against slavery in the original area.
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...
Would you rather pass up the boy/girl of your dreams, or marry into slavery? 
I suppose this dilemma takes for granted the fact that this person is your 'love' - not your one true love or any such nonsense, just a person who you have grown to love over time and now care about deeply.
Sure, if you let them go you'll probably find someone else you're capable of loving just as much. But will that make losing the one you have any less painful? I don't think so.
Be not afraid...
PARTY HARD!!!!
Even if you find a "replacement", it still wouldn't make the fate of the first go away.
Human lives aren't interchangeable like currency.

You got me there. Slave trading regrettably totally happened for a disturbing amount of time. Heck, it's disturbing that it ever happened at all. But I'm derailing the discussion with that, so let's get back on topic.

Leaving them alone to their fate is still horrible though. Of course, that is more of a matter of opinion.

As I've said, it is possible that I'll decide to stay anyway. What I want to point out is that if they loved me in turn they would not want me to stay.
If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common
PARTY HARD!!!!
Indeed.
Kind of weird test of character, huh?

It gets even weirder. If your loved one does not want you to stay but you do it otherwise, is it not ignoring their desires and essentially treating them no better than their master does?
If your loved one wants you to stay, then they clearly do not love you, and so do not deserve your sacrifice in the first place.
But if your loved one does not want you to stay and you leave, you are abandoning them.
Really weird.

Is slavery worth love?From my own perspective, I don't believe it is. Then again, I have never been in love and generally don't really get that sort of thing, so I can't really put myself into the frame of mind necessary to provide a seriously considered answer.
If one is interested in love, I suppose there is a chance they might think so, which is fair enough. To each his, I guess.

Aha! Found the thing I knew I saw sometime when I was originally arguing this!

They fought over whose master was better?
That's sorta like arguing about how spoiled milk is better than moldy cheese or something.

I kill his/her master, free the slaves, and have my wife/husband.

Unless you found a new love; that is possible, you know.
