Depends what the reason for their unemployment was

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

Ok

[parmnion]

Thank you.

[Cherie]

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

[Cherie]

but don't expect me to stagger in at 7pm and put on a wash

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.

[parmnion]

Interesting poll results so far, looks like it may go the way I expected.


If only more people would vote to see.

[Josy]

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.

[parmnion]

Can everyone vote in this please.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I wouldn’t marry anyone

and that is the thread title

[Josy]

Chose no in the poll due to the title saying someone who didnt want to work

[Strictly Jake]

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.

[LeatherTrumpet]

if the intention of the tread is to illustrate a lazy bastard NO

i work hard long hours and expect my partner to do the same

unfortunately the TL is a lazy ***and gets a kings ransom for diddly squat

but then again that is why i love her

[thesheriff443]

well gold diggers don’t work instead give sexual favours and men are happy to marry them pretty much like footballers wife’s.

[thesheriff443]

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.

And both of these posts could be applied to men too yeah?

[thesheriff443]

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

No not in general, it’s not sexist it’s just the way of the world.
