I am actually not very financially responsible person. Neither is my husband. I am worse though. But I guess there are different levels of irresponsibility. I always supported myself and it’s been on my own since high school. So was my husband. So I guess we responsible in that sense. But certainly not in other aspects
It depends on what your deal breakers are. I wouldn’t date people who
Don’t work full time. But it’s ok if they don’t save money for example or have debt

YES, you are absolutely right, Divine. He has no income, no job, no nothing and HUGE financial debt. I mean HUGE, hundreds of thousands of dollars. I would have inherited that debt, most likely, had I married him. What was I even thinking? He told me there was a way around that, and I actually believed him.
I'm like you. By no means am I entirely responsible myself financially, but I CAN support myself and have for most of my life. I pay off my debt and pay all my bills on time. I have no retirement funds and only a small amount of savings.
So it's not like I'm on top of the world financially myself, but at the very least, I expect my partner to have consistent and steady work and income, and my ex, since i have known him, has not been working. He's dragged his heels on finding work for an entire year. And all I kept hearing from him, over and over again, is I will get a job ASAP. Has he??? NO! He is perfectly comfortable not working and mooching off of his grandparents.
