Sorry, there are no double standards here. It is not acceptable for any gender to leech off of the other. But that's the difference here--she has a job and has made her own living. The other part (whoever he is, out there) just need to be able to hold up his end. That's not gold-digging, that's called not being willing to be used by pathetic losers who need a mommy to support them anymore.
Its like saying women are begging to have kids just to be with a man, to trap him in the relationship, being permanantly stuck with her.
I dont think you are being unreasonable.. I feel the same way.. My partner should contribute to what is going on as much as I am. I have done the breadwinner thing ... and get tired of it from time to time.. Not that I wouldnt do it.. but it does get tiresome.. I understand where you are coming from...

You just say that because you're jobless and don't want to admit you're undesirable to the "standard" woman right now. And FYI, if a man is so loserly that he can't commit to a woman he chooses to have a child with--he should have his cockles sliced off
You just say that because I'm a woman and I want kids, even though kids really isn't an important factor in relationships. I should stop nagging about unemployed men.
bellestaroftexas, you are a nurse and one of the qualities of a nurse is helping people who are sick and hurt. Of course, you need to understand that this does not translate into your personal romantic life. You are attracted to men who NEED you. Not to men who are strong, independent, and financially secure/responsible.
Sadly, we cannot often control who we are attracted to. For years (and two husbands and multiple boyfriends) I was hopelessly attracted to Aquarius men. But I could not stand their personality traits (if that makes any sense). Finally, after many long, miserable relationships I had to make the decision to see out a different type of man. So I did. Now I am happy.
You need to consciously seek out men who are the way you WANT them to be and avoid (like the plague) pathetic (but very sweet) men who are just going to dig you another financial hole.
I think LAFan is off his rocker or something.. constantly redoing quotes and such... I think maybe it is time someone hit you with a ban stick.. I have now seen where you have retyped someone's quote at minimum 4 times...
