Depends what the reason for their unemployment was

Just because they didn't want to? No I doubt I would

No! That said it depends what the arrangements are, say if I was a high flyer and I was happy to follow my career while the other half looked after the kids, or if no kids did all the cleaning, cooking, washing etc, I guess that would be fine

I would marry an unemployed person.
"Someone who doesn't want to work" is very different. They don't want to work because they inherited 20 million so actually don't have to? Don't want to work because they feel they have a full time job at home with kids and everything else?
Demonising the unemployed as "people who don't want to work" is a simplistic generalisation.
Interesting poll results so far, looks like it may go the way I expected.
If only more people would vote to see.
If they had good reason ie medical etc then yes.
If they were just a flat out lazy bastard then it's a big ol nope from me.
Can everyone vote in this please.

Dont know how to answer. My wife doesnt work as we already have 2 kids under 5 and a baby in just a few weeks so my wife hasnt worked for a few years now and wont go back to work for another 2 years yet. But it works for us. I get how it is a full time job looking after young kids and running a home so its not like she doesnt work. So I guess I will say Yes I would.

well gold diggers don’t work instead give sexual favours and men are happy to marry them pretty much like footballers wife’s.
thesheriff443
30-01-2020, 07:19 PM
Then on the flip side you get women who complain because their partner works to much and they don’t get enough time together.
It’s a funny old game.

Then you get couples that work but don’t put equal amounts into the relationship in terms of money.

My son hasn’t worked in his old career since he met his wife.
She is American, the 8 hour time difference was too much to handle when she was ill, he used to read to her to sleep over the internet.
He helps run her many businesses now they are married, but doesn’t actually have a job at the minute, firstly down to green card issues, the relocating back here.
Big plans on the way.

You can’t knock that.
I live on my own with my daughter who is autistic with a rare metabol condition and has mental health issues i jugle work with taking care of my daughter I cook and clean our house.
People throw around sexism but I’ve had to be mum and dad for most of my daughters life.

Words fail me , she’s fortunate to have such a great father with a tremendous attitude to life .
I’m on the spectrum myself and it is complex business. In my case the negatives kinda outweigh the positives .

Exactly, a different one to the poll question. A muddled and not very well thought out thread.

What has that got to do with sexism though?
Josy simply pointed out the two examples of relationships you stated previously could apply to men as equally as women. And they can, I've heard men complain about the hours their wives work as much as the other way around.
It depends on the job they have, not their gender.

Yes or no.
Depends
If they looked like Michelle Keegan for example- yes of course

Sorry Cherie. .it's hard enough starting a poll let alone get the correct questions.
Basically the question is..would you marry someone who is willing to be supported all thier married life.
Im guessing men will say yes..and women will say no..
Looks like I'm not far off.
Marsh.
30-01-2020, 10:55 PM
But now you're asking a third question "Would you marry someone who is willing to be supported all their married life?". That's not the same as either the thread title or the poll question. :shrug:

I'll be teaching my son not to pay for a lazy ****er as well :nono: Bit different though if say one of the couple is a stay at home parent. There's too many variables to give a yes or no answer really
Would you be willing to support your future spouse for the rest of thier lives on your wage alone.
I don’t feel comfortable voting in the poll bc of the way it’s worded but I would marry an unemployed person if they had a reason for it. Simply not wanting to work like you put it, no I wouldn’t! I deserve a hard working man!

I knew you were a yes...really.
Yeah I would. A persons employment status doesn't dictate what kind of person they are. If I loved em, I'd marry em! Job or no job!

If they were solvent in some way... had some kind of income but didn't work, then yes. Otherwise... no. A relationship is a partnership, there's no room for a passenger 100% of the time.
