Men, how would you feel about this?

+1. Being poor is not a character flaw

For men it is...for women it is not

Why? All men? Have never heard such nonsense

It is rundown. Dirty old broken blinds, several broken windows, dusty dirty mouldy ceilings, old broken furniture, etc. Her parents serve you food in mismatched plates and cups. Wine is served in cups rather than glasses, etc. However despite all that, you appreciate the warm welcome from her parents and their generosity.

Would you continue dating this girl despite her poor living conditions? Would the state of her home affect your relationship with her? Would this change the way you would view her?

OK, time out. Couple of questions, OP: are you sure these people are really her parents? Is she new to the area and was, perhaps, lost or at least in unfamiliar surroundings, and somehow wandered into the home of an older couple who simply found it in their hearts to help a stranger find her way on love's pathway, and, in an act of kindness, played along that they were "parents"? Something about the story doesn't add up and feel quite confident this was a case of mistaken identity, or no identity at all.

Methinks it is interesting that OP has suddenly gone silent when confronted with this observation above ^ ^

This...doesn't make sense. OP is embarrassed that she didn't have time to clean before her guy met her parents. Totally understandable.

NP, you're missing my point. Are we absolutely certain they were her "parents" and it was "her"/"their" house?

Or putting it another way, might OP actually hail from a very upright and tidy home and family and these "parents" in their bedraggled, threadbare home were simply there as human props (maybe local actors) in order to gauge his reaction and measure his attitudes about material wealth? Sorry if I'm blowing your mind, but you need to look deeper.

I doubt that. You married the one not the other for a reason.

OP here. It’s not really the lack of cleanses that has me concerned, its the state of the house. The broken furniture, mismatched plates, etc. He was not expecting this at all.

I’m really embarrassed that he saw the poor condition of my home. I would like to know from a man’s perspective if this would be a turn off?

Would you reject a girl you like because the home she was raised in has broken furniture, windows, etc?
