Should a man and a woman both work full time?

Question

I live with my boyfriend of 5 months (we lived together as friends first) and since then neither of us have had a job, I saved from my last job and that has kept us financially stable until now, he has just got a job and starts Monday but I still don't have one. Is it bad that I don't? I don't want to be mooching off him when I need money for anything, all I would spend it on is bus tickets and food shopping anyway . I'm really struggling to find a job and I feel more under pressure to find one so that I don't seem lazy

Answer

Depends on the situation. When we first had our daughter my husband was the stay at home parent because I made more money. Then when she was older we both worked, when she was old enough for daycare my older twins were also in daycare and that cost a mortgage we realized so I became the stay at home parent because then be made more then I. Now we both work again. It really all depends.

Answer

It depends on the circumstances and the couple. In our 2.5 years living together, my BF and I have both been the breadwinners on and off. I've been unemployed for a few months now because I'm a full time student and needed a work break, but I still help out with my savings from when I worked + went to school full time. We agreed that in time, I'd go back to work until we could 100% afford only having one person supporting us. It's really about communication though! One thing my partner and I agree on is: whoever is working the most for our financial stability, it's important to express our gratitude to one another :)

Answer

I think both a man and women should be working especially if they have a family but i know some people get laid off or fired from a job too but that's different
