Should I stay with my boyfriend of four years even if he doesn't have work and money?

i've been with my boyfriend for four years now. I love him and i'm sure that the feeling is mutual. he's very caring, he even do the laundry and stuff that ordinary boyfriends wouldn't do for their girlfriends. but, the thing is I sometimes feel that he's a burden because most of the time I pay for our dates. he's trying his very best to find a job but unfortunately he can't find his luck yet. what will I do? I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but i'm afraid that our marriage will not work out if we're not financially stable.

If you love him, and he loves you and it's not that he's lazy - it's just that he is currently unable to find work because of the market, then I don't see why you would leave him. If he's never had a job in the four years you've been together, then there might be issues. Is he REALLY looking or just making a half hearted attempt? Is he applying for jobs outside his experience level? He might need to reduce his expectations and get a foot on the ladder so to speak rather than just aiming for the top straight out.

Love Is Love, Not Money. Remember That.
