We all leave a job at one time or another. It's unfortunate that your relationship has to get off the ground on that kind of note however. Don't forget to factor in the the stresses of losing a job...and having to then ALSO contribute to a relationship. And also, you should watch yourself making excuses for him, to explain behaviors as being the direct result of losing his job; they may be, but they also may just be him. Either way, you will learn a lot about the guy if you stick with him. Montospecks has a point, it could be a good time to see what kind of stuff he's made of-and my guess is you'll find out in a hurry. But even if he's a stand-up guy, that kind of stress can make anyone act funny.

Personally, I eventually come to resent paying for everything-or even more importantly, the IDEA that I "have to" pay for everything. I don't ever like to be or appear spiteful but in the end, that's what that kind of imbalance in a relationship makes me. Let's face it, I love to treat but I also love to do so knowing that I don't have to do so all the time. Which is why dating unemployed/underemployed women is a bad idea, for me.

Your gut is your best weapon, use it.
