Assuming you make a good salary and there's no need for a 2nd income and your S/O is overall good to you but refuses to work and do nothing in life?

Question

Is that a deal-breaker? Would you have a problem with that?

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

personally, I can cover four incomes myself... and I am still not going to marry a couch potato

and to me is not about money, it is just compatibility... I have never met anyone and feel attracted to them while they were at home doing nothing at all

but the problem here is... "refuses to do something" this is the attitude that, could bring a lot of problems because it could reflect on many other things, and it could possible replicate in many other aspects of life, so just, no...

That would not be an issue as I can gangle the financials and 2- 4 kids is going to keep her busy.

So he would be at home all day not doing a damn thing? I’d dump him. If you want to be a stay at home partner or spouse and it’s affordable, fine. But get off your duff and clean, cook, maintain the house, care for the children, etc. I wouldn’t want to come home from working all day and have to do ALL OF THAT as well.

I can easily sustain the lifestyle my husband & I have been enjoying for so long now. However, I don't want him to be idle. I can accept it if he doesn't provide or share. I just don't want to enable him to sabotage himself. Furthermore, the devil also preys on idle hands & minds... making them the devil's workshop.

She doesn't have to work so to speak (have an income). But I'm not cool with her doing NOTHING! As her partner it's my job to help push her. I would EXPECT the same from her for me. Because a life without purpose is NO LIFE. She can volunteer! She can start a charity! Look inside her heart, talk to God! There's is ALWAYS someone in need of God's mercy. She can help be that miracle.

That wouldn't be much of an issue for me, if contributed to my life in other ways.

Do nothing? Yes, a deal breaker. I'm not going to willingly support an able-bodied freeloader.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Yes. Definitely a deal breaker. If he's well, he should work.

If you could earn enough money by doing nothing would you be happy that way or would you still feel the need to go to work just the same?
