How long should a woman date a man who can't financial support himself?

Question

If a woman is just dating (talking over 35) a man and he ran into hard times, is there a rule on how long she should date him until his financial situation changes?

Answer 1

As long as she's willing to put up with it.  It also depends on the man.  If my boyfriend lost his job, I'd definitely work on supporting both of us as long as he picked up some part-time work to help with the bills.  I think it's a question only you can answer.

Answer 2

if you really love or care about him the financial situation shouldn't matter, if it really bothers you then end it. you gotta do whats right for you.

Answer 3

How long should  a man date a woman who cant financially support herself?  See the sexist nature of your question?

Answer 4

It depends on his savings, job prospects and eagerness to get back to work.  Just don't invest much of your time and money if these things aren't right.

Answer 5

Why are you going there at all?  How can he afford to date you if he can't support himself?  I hope you're NOT paying!  One date should have been enough to tell you to find someone else, and IF he gets himself straight, then date him!  He needs to rescue himself, not have YOU rescue him!  We know you deserve better, why don't you?
