It sounds like you are describing adopting an adult child and not an equal partner. SO will be liability to you and you need to decide if you can afford it. If I make enough money to support another adult without noticing it and this person makes me happy, I would go for it, but it does not sound like the best opportunity to jump into
I feel like there’s so many variables here. Are they unemployed because of the pandemic but actively looking? And for salary are they not making much because they don’t want to work much or are they doing something that they love that’s not as high paying? (Like being a school teacher for example)
Agree
I would not. I was married to someone that didn’t work and was not a good thing. He didn’t do anything in the house and basically treated me as an atm.
If it’s a woman and she is trying to be a housewife and take care of kids. That’s different. But keep in mind you will be completely responsible for her or him. You will have to give them pocket money. You will also be responsible for everything. Nyc is hard, having no one to financially help is well your alone. Be prepared for that. Also, say you get divorced, you may be expected to pay for your so divorce lawyer and maybe alimony.
Me personally, I would avoid, it used to work in the past. But now it’s different, a lot of people take advantage of this. I also feel it’s a drive thing, like you want someone with goals and something to do.
I personally would avoid a partner looking for a housewife, as I would feel completely financially dependent on him and I would feel that I can’t take a day off from cooking or cleaning.
