Some people might not care if others don't work, but I believe most people would if they are looking for serious relationship or marriage.

I don't think it's being judgemental. Just being realistic. Living with someone who doesn't work would mean for me that I'd have to support him. I have nice job and I make decent money but not enough to support another adult. If I had extra money I'd rather give it to my daughter or my nephews and nice.

I wouldn't take on a strange man to support. I'd rather stay single. My husband was married to a woman who never worked, he always struggled, ended up in bankruptcy and she still
wouldnt work, he now pays spousal support etc when he first decided to start dating after divorce he knew he wouldn't never date a woman who doesn't work. He wouldn't repeat this craziness.

Now if someone is too disabled to work and they are on disability, and maybe work part time, then it's different. It's an income even if low. But unfortunately I see s lot of people who say they are disabled and can't work yet they aren't on disability and live off others, then it's different.

And potential bf/gf night think "if I start dating them I'll end up supporting them".

I believe if one is truly too unwell to work they need to be on disability
Thanks for this!
