If you were to date someone who lost it all while you were dating, how long would you give them before expecting significant progress to be made?

[Anonymous]

Progress to building a stable life again, since you wouldn't want them relying on you forever

2-6 months

6 months to a year

Year or Two

Two or Three years

If she's cute and loyal, she could just live with me forever.

I guess it depends on what exactly they lost and how well they were functioning without it

Most people should be able to get their life back together within a month or two.

"Lost it all?" You mean their financial stability?

[Asker]

Yes...

[slatyb]

That would depend on a number of things:
- What happened?
- What are they doing now? Are they contributing to the relationship? Are they working to get their life back?
- What resources do I have? Can I support us both?

We moved to Seattle, my wife couldn't find work but took care of everything else: shopping, cooking, housekeeping. I was paid more than enough to support her, so I told her she could work if she found something she wanted to do for whatever wage was on offer.

[NathanDavis]

[NathanDavis]

if it was some unfortunate fire... then I can hold the line for years and years to come, no problem

[Tungi]
