My husband and I have been going through a rock patch and I am on the verge of ending the marriage and leaving him and moving out of the martial house it's all ways me who is doing the homework and working full time and he just sits at home during the day doing nothing he is not sick he has just chosen not to work anymore and we are both in our 50s me 56 him 57 and we have got children together as well and all we do is argue constantly started by him because I asked him to help me do the housework and he doesn't do anything and he doesn't help with the children and it's getting me down I am just hoping for someone who has been through it or someone to give me a hand hold

How old are your children?

ExplodingSmittens · 02/07/2026 19:47

How old are the DC and what help do they need?

Is the house owned or rented?

BIWI · 02/07/2026 19:48

Frankly the age of the children is irrelevant. This man is a lazy arse! You should leave @Smith345. Or, ideally, kick him out!

Smith345 · 02/07/2026 19:53

The children are 8 years old and 11and 11 and 13

Just file for divorce op. At his age he'll be thinking about retirement. Split asap so he can't claim that he doesn't have to work but needs more of the assets or whatever bs.

If you can bare to stay in the house until the legal split then all the better but get the ball rolling. The sooner you start the sooner you'll finish.

We are constantly arguing
