Me, personally, no, I wouldn't date a man who couldn't support himself. But, my situation is different than many others. I am disabled myself and there is still the question of whether or not I will be able to work full time in the future. Finances are a MAJOR stressor to me, and I won't take on someone else's money issues. I guess you could say its more of a Suze Orman sort of thing in which finances do indeed make it or break it, and in my situation, finances are definitely up there in terms of "things which must be compatible" for me.
So find someone who is financially stable. Find someone who WANTS to be the bread winner and says hey, my husband can be the one who stays at home (or works only part time). There are SO many different types of relationships out there. Don't limit yourself because the historically normal type of relationship is out of the question for you. Lots of women would be thrilled to be the bread winner.
