Would you stick around your husband/wife if they was jobless and was having a hard time find employment?

Yes, I did not marry for status and my vows included 'For better or worse' so if my husband found himself jobless and struggling to find work of course I would stay and I would support him in any way possible as I know he would me.

He has lost jobs to redunancy in the past 21 years that we have been together as have I and it's not always easy to find another quickly especially after career breaks to care for children or as you get older for example, the only exception would be if he was fit and healthy and deliberately refusing employment because it is his job as much as it is mine to financially contribute to the household finances.

Yeah and I might try to help them

I would .. unless he was being a total bum off of me on purpose .. and he was not trying at all.

Why wouldn't you? It would be better for the relationship if you HELPED them find employment.

A question like this is just a time waster, because it depends on all sorts of variables. You gave us nothing to work with.

If it hasn't been that long, and the person is really trying, and they aren't being too picky, no problemo. If it's been a year, they refuse to accept entry level jobs and don't look that hard, very big problemo.

Yes, I would. I know those are tough times but the jobless spouse needs support and encouragement at that time. My wife stuck with me through some periods of unemployment and I'm grateful to her for that and for her support.

Of course I would. I'm married to them for who they are, not for their bank account. What part of the marital vow "In good times and bad" do you not seem to understand?

I have, and I'd do it again. He's done the same for me. We're a team. That's what we do. If he's struggling, I pick up the slack. If I'm struggling, he picks up the slack. We have too many plans and shared goals to throw in the towel over a minor setback like that. Fifty years from now, I'm not going to look back and think "screw you for being unemployed for six months." That's a blip in the big picture of things.

Men and women are different . A man's love is unconditional, pure , sincere .. A man doesn't " love" for superficial reasons such as " she's tall " " she's funny " " she makes money " . Throughout history men have married women who were extremely poor and those men loved those women with all their heart . The reason you see western men marring women from poor nations is because as I said , men don't care about her ability to make money , what matters is her inside ... This also explains why men couldn't care less about female celebrities.. Why should we care if she has money or fame ? Tell me about her inside , that's what matters .

Of course I would stick to my wife if she couldn't find a job , if she wants she can stay at home and I wouldn't have any problem providing for her and loving her with all my heart .

I have so far. My husband has been underemployed for 7 years, and unemployed for part of that time. It is really starting to take a toll on me, however, especially as our children get closer to college (oldest is now in high school) and I'm wanting to be able to retire before I'm 70. But I think it would be more expensive to divorce and have to support two households than stay married and support just the one.
