Would you marry someone who has debt?

1 month ago 23

My boyfriend of 5 years just told me he is 40k in debt (not student loans as he did an apprenticeship coming out of high school). I knew he had a 20k credit card maxed out, but I just learned he owes another 20k on a line of credit. We haven't made any major life decisions together but are starting to talk about them/move in that direction. Is this a red flag? Would you marry someone with that kind of debt?

For context: I am fortune to not have debt, certainly thanks to help from family over the years. I'm also a saver and have never carried any major credit.
