My SO makes a good $15K a year more than I do so he shoulders a couple more of our monthly bills. This is largely at his insistance, I think he likes to feel like the man of the house.
However, I would not feel comfortable being supported entirely for anything other than brief periods of time or for any reason other than having a baby. In fact, when I got laid off a couple of years ago I took some awful temp jobs just to stay working. Partly because I didn't feel good about myself when I wasn't part of working society and partly because I didn't want him to feel like he was pulling dead weight.
