i don't mind helping him should it ever happen. marriage is a partnership. whatever one has, must be shared with the other. the one who has more must share with the one who has less. in a society where men are generally bread winners, it may not be easily acceptable if the wife will be the financial source in the family. but in today's set up. to be practical, both are usually working if the salary of just one person will not cover all the needs of the family. a partner, may it be the husband or the wife should be willing to support the other in times of dificulty (emotional, physical, financial etc). so i don't mind at all. if it's just temporary, at the most, i can do it in a year... depending on the cost of raising the whole family and my ability to finance everyone's needs.

well, being with your faimly and knowing there is always a possibility for this kind of problem, i think we, ladies should understand and help our husbands as well... after all we swore an oath to be with each other through thick and thin. of course, you should be able to see efforts from the guy that he wants to have a job too... but if he is just sitting around and doing nothing to find a job.. that's an entirely differnt story.

I think I will help him,after all poor together,rich together.And if my husband tries his best to look for a job then I need to help him without any hesitation.

Of course i really like to help him up, because the cost of living in our everyday lives are increasing so i need to have an extra job to help him out while i take care of our baby.

You and your husband made a solemn vow which includes, "thru richness an poorness", if I'm not mistaking. If he really can't find a job, you can't do anything about that. You should help him financially, as long as you see him having efforts for looking for a job. If he doesn't have any effort, don't tolerate he's stubborness.

I used to be the one in our relationship who brought in most of the income. I would, and did put up with it for a very long time.
