There's a huge difference between getting a slap in the face and being broke up with because you lost your job.
Would real friends leave you because you're in a rut and staying at home all day?
On the other hand, long term, after a few slaps in the face, if you still make no attempt to get of the couch, then neither friend nor partner can be blamed for leaving your lazy ***.
I agree with you but also people who are unemployed for a LONG time their personality changes a bit especially if they are not really doing anything productive with this time and that can affect their relationships with both friends and a partner.
My brother in law was unemployed for 3 years, my sister stood by him, she paid the bills etc...it kind of was the first cracks in the foundation of their marriage eventually falling apart..he went back to work after that break but it was like that time period changed his personality quite a bit...I wish my sister HAD slapped him in the face (symbolically speaking not literally) to get off his *** and find something else but she didnt..and their dynamic just naturally changed and it never got 'right' again.
