In all honesty, would you date/stay in a relationship with someone in transition of becoming financially stable?

Wow, lots of good questions tonight! And I feel in a gabby mood lol.

If the other person is working to get themselves out of debt, then I'd have no problem. I did make the mistake to marry someone who was not stable financially, and throughout the years things became worse. Now I'm stuck with pretty much all the debt. So, I'd have to know a lot about that person and how responsible they are financially before I make a commitment, love or not.

I now also view a person's financial stability as a character trait... I mean, that's a reflection on how responsible they are, right? Of course, now that I think more on this, there are exceptions... like if they got laid off. But as long as they are honestly trying, and not just giving up.

Just my opinion. But If I loved this person, truly loved this person and they truly loved me as well, I could care less if this person was a million dollars in debt. I would battle the struggles with said person, with a smile as well....Most days lol

Even if she was an incurable gambler?

I agree with what has been said, when you are in love with someone you are prepared to work through problems with them if you can. I am sure it would not be to long before you discover if they are seriously working towards resolving the issue or making it worse, and if so what other steps you may need to take to help them.

Even if you choose, as a woman to work through problems, I think the transitioning stage for some men can make it harder for them in a relationship. Especially for a man who doesn't open up about what's really going on. There's that trust issue. Like crying and showing emotions, they believe it's shaming to not have their finances in order.

sure , i am not dating her pocket or bank account , that shouldn't be something affects the relationship ... we all could pass through difficult financial situations , it has nothing to do with love .

I don�t mind if he�s poor or wealthy, as a matter of fact I would prefare someone who�s middle or poor. I dated a student for almost 3 years who could never take me to a restaurant because he was so poor, that the only thing I got from him were three roses and a birthday present. It didn�t matter to me because he was a man I could respect and he really worked on his future. But I very quickly broke up with one guy who was enemployed, sometimes found a part time job, but didn�t want real job. He told me he doesn�t want it. That�s the way of thinking I can�t understand. Everybody can be in financial problems, but if he�s trying to do something about it, he�ll have my full support. I have healthy arms and not afraid of work. We would get through that together. it�s just about his attitude.

Well, as I do not know anyone who is NOT most times
in some sort of financial flux, tis moot for me.

Of course and regardless of my own financial situation...

Why not? I've always been a good earner myself, so why should it matter if the lassie, isn't on her feet financially? As long as she's ok and not trying to use me, there's no problem!

As long as they are trying that is all that matters.. Most that I know have fell on hard times at one time or another.. Does not determine what kind of person they are by the material things... I mean I will not support someone while they lay around with no intention of helping out or contributing something...

Depends on my assessment of their character and intellect. Sincere, talented people I've seen in dire straits, and I've seen that turn to the opposite extreme in a week flat. I've seen people go from under-appreciated and underpaid in one job to well accorded and very well paid in the very next one. I've seen people go from unemployed to a record contract or publishing deal.

People vary, we shouldn't assert a dating culture based upon a belief that every person is a clone in different situations. There is no one rule for all.

And anyway, one woman's sugar daddy is another's abusive boyfriend and yet another's loving husband, the situation completely changes depending who they're with. It's about the mix, not the rule or even the circumstance.

She can always shake dat azz for more $5's and $20's. To hell with the $1's.
