I'd absolutely not seek out actively or passively a new relationship when I was unemployed. While I'm very responsible with prophylactics, there's always a chance of pregnancy and there's no way I'm going to be unemployed trying to support a family.
If I were in a relationship, I'd probably back off a bit until I was gainfully employed again. I'd not end the relationship or anything, but we'd have to stop vaginal intercourse and I'd probably be spending 12 hours a day, 7 days a week looking for employment which means less time together. My hope is that my SO would be understanding and let my insane, single-minded tenacity take over for a bit so that things could eventually go back to normal.
