You can't build a life with somebody if you aren't financially on the same page. I'm not saying that a poor person can never marry a rich person or a saver should never be with a spender, but you have to be realistic about the kind of future you can have with someone whose robbing you blind. If you have a partner who doesn't have a job, isn't looking for a job, and isn't doing something as time-consuming or important as having a job, like attending school or raising your family, you might have a leech on your hands. It's noble to support somebody you love while they're going through a difficult time in their lives, but there must be limits.
