If your best friend's husband was a lazy toe-rag and didn't help around the house?

She has 4 children: 11yrs, 9yrs, 17mths and 3mths, the last 2 belong to him.

She has just come off the phone with me and she is upset, angry and exhausted afer another row with her husband over his laziness around the house and absoloute refusal to accept critisism. He behaves like a child and leaves my friend to pick up after him. She says she has tried all manner of ways to get him to pull his finger out and take some responsibility but nothing seems to change.

I don't know what to do or say to be hinest as I don't want to get caught up in their domestic life but it's hard not to keep shtum when I do see him. Do you think I shoud have a word with him or stay out of it? If I don't say anything am I 'betraying' my friend?

I never know what to do in these situations and end up feeling like I am unsupportive.

well she could tell him that sex life would be far better if he was a husband rather than acting like a son...

Keep out of it, support your friend but do not say anything to you directly unless he asks for your opinion.
