My bf got laid off about a month after we started dating. I encouraged him to go back to school. He worked part-time and went to school full-time. About a month or two after he finished school, he found a good paying job even in this horrible economy.
What I would be worried about is if the man is on a paid website and has no job. That seems like a waste of money.
I'm a female btw.
Not the same thing,because was aleady established when he was laid off
hello, I've been reading postings here for the last one year and this is my first. In 2008, three months into our relationship, my boyfriend got laid off. Having child support to pay, vehicle payment and credit card debts, he got very depressed and embarrassed with his situation so he took off leaving me, cutting off all his contacts because he said he will only be a liability to me. I went all out searching for weeks until I found him again. Since I have good paying job with no debts, I helped him financially without payback until he's back on his feet again, that's about 8 mths later. In the 8 mths, we met only about 3 - 4 times only. It was difficult for him to accept my financial support at first but I forced it either by mailing the check or direct deposit. I guess it's the man's ego.
Earlier he thought I would walk out on him when he lost his job but to me when you love someone, it is for good or bad. Friends said I'm silly and stupid but seeing him going thru hard times make me love him more everyday.

WOW!!! You REALLY LOVE HIM. I just hope that you don't get burnt by him later.
He possibly feels guilty that a woman gave him money and made him feel even more "powerless and manly" than he was by the initial job layoff.

Again you were already together, the OP just met this man online and hear all this in the 1st conversation.

Yes, I really love him, unconditionally although he never said he loves until recently. I just couldn't leave him when he's down and out. But when he started working again, I gave him an option to leave me if he wants to. It will hurt me badly if he does but at least I'll be at peace knowing he's doing fine.
