Married quickly despite concerns

Married a man with no job, who drinks, and doesn't contribute equally, causing financial and emotional stress

What I wish I knew
"Listened to initial concerns about his job search"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't ignore red flags in a partner, especially financial irresponsibility"
