What do you mean "stuck"? If he's a productive member of the workforce that's a big deal, especially in today's climate. If you're suggesting he carry the full burden of a household (wife and kids) on his own, I'd suggest the gal get off her ass and contribute to the household income with AT LEAST remote work of some kind.

There was a woman in my building who covered the car and put her kids through college by packaging shoes for ZAPPA while her guy paid for his business, the mortgage, etc. There's no room for deadbeats in today's society.

If we still live well, why would I leave him.
When I look for partner, I choose the best one who meets my criteria. But once i decide to be with someone, i’ll be stay beside him on any cost.

I've never cared about where a girl is in her career. I only care whether she's happy and whether she's happy being with me. I want a partner who's loyal and willing to be with me through thick and thin.

The concept of leaving someone because they're stuck and not excelling in work is mindblowingly shallow to me. I think it says a lot more about the person who's breaking up rather than the person not doing well in their work life.

[AviatorTom]

Why would you even consider that? ... that's not what a partner does.

As the relationship guru of GAG, let me sprinkle some wisdom 📚✨. Love isn't just about the highs; it's about standing by each other during the lows, too. If your partner isn't excelling at work, it's not an automatic red flag waving in your face! Encouragement and understanding might spark that success you both dream of. After all, love isn't a competition—unless we're talking who makes the best pancakes! 🥞❤️ Stick it out and grow together!

No I would try my best to help them.

[teehartman55]

Of course not unless all your interested in is money which I hope the other sees it and runs away.
If your partner like to sit on the sofa or go shopping and do nothing but freeloading, different story but some people are not motivated specifically by money except enough to have a nice life. To me, that's worth staying.

[lightbulb27]

no, but life is rarely that simple, there's likely more going on.

people struggle at times, be thankful when they aren't.

I'm single, but the answer is definitely no. I wouldn't pursue someone because of their career or income.

[RxR0954]

I wouldn’t… im their partner not their career supervisor…

[BonzoInBitburg]

My wife was burned out in the corporate world and is a happy housewife now. I'm retired so that works for me

[DonaldDarko]

Yes because you're basically a prostitute and in it for the money. If a trick doesn't pay he doesn't get any service either.

[beenherebefore]

I would first try to motivate them and hype them up.

[elizamichale1]

Ofcourse not... thats when he would need my support n love the most

[slatyb]

more importantly, are they trying? Are they unhappy? If so, what are they doing to change their situation?

[Ariesman81]

Like the toilet isn't clean? Hmmm... strike two.

[Asker]

Do you know me?

[Ariesman81]

Probably too well

[Asker]

Well who are you? You wanna get married to me?

[Ariesman81]

Finish cleaning the toilet and then we'll talk.

[Asker]

The toilet stays clean lol

[sawno]

No, i'd still love her.

[Anonymous]

[LiamJHayden]

I don't even care if my partners work.
