I met my current girlfriend on Match.com(US) in 2019. She was unemployed back then and we lived 2h+ hours apart. First 6 months of the relationship, she was unemployed. We are still together and now she has a job. I don't think unemployment should immediately be a no go for the relationship.
- IshKebab 5y agoYeah same. Nothing wrong with being unemployed.
- cableshaft 5y agoYeah I had just recently had a contract that ended sooner than expected and was unemployed when I started dating the woman I would later marry. A couple of months after we started dating I had a new job and was making far more than anyone she had ever dated in her past (which was still just a modest salary for this crowd). I can understand someone being hesitant but it's not always a red flag.
- conductr 5y agoExceptions to every rule right. The rule still sounds solid to me if you’re trying to optimize the quality of your interactions. My personal one from my days of being single, no “cat people”. I’m a “dog person”. I like cats but the slight personality difference between me identifying as a dog person and the people I’ve known who identify as a “cat person” is enough that it just sounds like a waste of my time.
