What's the average time for a girl to dump her boyfriend, who lost his job?

[Anonymous]

I had 2 jobs simultaneously. I lost both of them because of 24. th February and companies are either terminating contracts with us or they got cut off from the international financial system and can't finance their employees for long.

What's the average time until a girl decides to either dump her now unemployed boyfriend or cheat on him?

1 week

1 month

several months

half a year

a year

That depends how much money is left in the bank account since last paycheck

Not sure

I don’t think a good loyal girlfriend/wife would dump or cheat on their boyfriend/husband just because they lost their job due to the company’s fault, not his. So, maybe you should check with your girlfriend first…


You’re leaving out a lot of factors, my friend. Are you just sitting back and not bothering to get another job? Or are you actively finding new employment?


Not many people like unmotivated or lazy people, that is a turn off. It doesn’t matter much about money, it’s about being productive. At my age, I wouldn’t want to date someone who doesn’t work or isn’t in college/trades. I want them to be productive and do something, not sit around. I hold myself to the same standard.

Yeah, I am spamming my CV to vacancies but I am not getting a whole lot in return so far. I heard them recruiters say that many people lost their jobs and are looking for a new job these times.

With Covid, yes it is difficult. I’ve experienced it myself, especially when we were on lockdowns in the US.
It may be different in other countries, I don’t know how the economy or job market is there, but as long as you are actively job searching, and your girlfriend understands, it wouldn’t or shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Maybe half a year. Because even though love is a powerful feeling…
A lazy useless slob with no drive and no plans and no type of power or production.
Is a bit of a turn off.

And it’s not a money thing. Just an ambition and drive thing.

I remember being one foot out the door when a g/f quit a job without telling me, it was bizarre and more of 'I don't know what I want to do' kind of thing that led up to falling out of favor. I think the better answer is to have a plan, and know where you want to go next instead of looking at it as a dead end.

Can you collect unemployment? I collected for 18 months so I was still getting a paycheck.

Not where I am (Middle East)

I didn’t leave him when he was sick … lost his job for 9 months. He left me because I wasn’t fun anymore in his ways… I became a mother to his kids… he wants to have fun and no responsibilities… now he is with a woman with no kids.
so depends on the type of girl you are with.
I am with someone much better now.

[Asker]

Oof. I am so sorry to hear that you were abandoned when it was the least expected. I mean the role here is reversed.
I shall not judge girls to leave us only because we lost our jobs. It's the least I can do. Thank you for telling me your story.

[midnightmoon05]

No worries.. we are all doing great and our kids are the luckies because they have 4 amazing adults caring for them... they are too spoiled.
My ex. husband is a really good guy in so many ways... thats why I married him. :)
My new husband is also really good to us all.

As for you, when you meet the right girl, she won't leave you.
Why the worry? Are you asking due to fear or you think your girlfriend is going to leave/cheat because you lost your job?

[Asker]

Mainly due to the fear of it happening.

[midnightmoon05]

Trust yourself that you picked the right woman…
If she does leave because you lost your job… better now than after you are married…
Then you make room to meet the one who will not leave you. 💗 see it will all turn out fine

[Asker]

Sounds reasonable. Looks like losing my job is a loyalty test then.

I put six months as maximum
