She's saying the guy is no longer able to shoulder his responsibilities as a man and needs advice.

Yea, but what exactly is her problem? And the 3,300 a month salary sounds funny. She has already moved in with the guy and is paying some of the bills. Everyone has ups and downs so that shouldnt be the problem. It is not like she met him as a loafer and accepted a ring from him. Is she saying she can no longer handle the responsibility? She has not said the guy is lazy and unwilling to look for something to do. Or is it that he has not married her yet? She needs to explain some more what she wants, and where she wants to be.

3,300 in what currency? Definitely not in Naira

You can get married but delay childbirth until some thing show or your finances improve

1. Is he educated and sincerely looking for job?, if yes, this is his trying time, wait for him, he has prospect, but, i will advise that you dont get married until he has a regular source of income, no matter how small, regardless.
2. Is he nice, kind and loving to you, if yes, he is likely to continue like that, after marriage.
3. Does he have d fear of God, as in, does he always consider ding good always, if yes, then, he is worth it.
Actually, as a person, i dont really have problem with you spending your own money on yourselves, but my problem is, does he appreciate it, what is your assessment of him by you, you know him better than us, if hes d type that you have assessed to be responsible, i mean, someone who will be alive and quick to his responsibilities, someone who will see you as part of him, someone who will see your needs as his needs, but is only temporarily handicapped by his present unemployment status, then, you are doing d right thing, no condition is permanent, its only for a phase, and d phase will soon pass.
However, i will advise that d wedding can hold until he has a regular income, it may not be much, but no matter how small, it can help you to sustain yourselves, (marriage and family responsibilities aint beans).
Also, you also need to advise him to look for something to do, even if its menial, pending d time a better job will come.
Meanwhile, whenever d wedding will be holding, go for a low key wedding, so that you can use d excess cash(if provided by your families) to establish yourselves, at least, it will be an addittion to your salary.
May God guide you and give you d necessary wisdom to always do d right thing.

if am the guy, i will not go on with the marriage again. For God's sake, the bible that i read, says he that finds a wife, find a good thing and obtains favour. it did not say he that marries a wife but he that finds a wife. my dear, consider it o, as this favour indicator can also be considered in this context, are the two of u actually meant to be one? *just saying sha*
