This is definitely a gendered dynamic. I'd feel like a freeloading piece of shit doing that, and I'd have plenty of social support in feeling that way.

    fwiw I know one couple where the guy is the freeloader. but his entire life he has been that way, he never once had a job and before his wife paid his bills his parents paid for them until he was like 35. and she is a workaholic who makes about 400K a year, just like his parents...

    but yeah that's NOT the norm, typically it's the other way. #1 complain of women in dating is men don't make enough to be providers for them anymore.

    I haven't seen that in any list of complaints about men, but I'm sure the women who are looking to be tradwives are having a harder time. That said, the results for "am I dating someone cheap?" does not include any coping tips (to put it mildly).
