Would you leave a lazy husband

Would you leave your husband if he is lazy if he doesn't help you with the house work and does not want to work and you work fall time and have kids and your husband is always starting arguments with you

I'd fuck him right off.

Yes!

Throwawayagain1234 · 14/11/2024 12:11

Hell yes! Drop the dead weight and fly.

ThisIsNunyaBusiness · 14/11/2024 12:11

The short answer is yes; the longer answer is yes, if he doesn’t make a single effort to improve or change.

Westofeasttoday · 14/11/2024 12:11

I would probably stop doing anything for him (cooking, laundry), move all my money into my own account (but continue to pay all bills etc) and then when he notices ask him why he is still there.

MumChp · 14/11/2024 12:12

Yes.

yutulin · 14/11/2024 12:13

Absolutely. Because a man doing that doesn't love or respect you. It goes further than just the inconvenience of extra work on you, it's what it represents.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 14/11/2024 12:15

Yes so how can you be helped into leaving him?.

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 14/11/2024 13:27

Absolutely

Girlmom35 · 14/11/2024 13:55

I would have left him yesterday.

Gettingbysomehow · 14/11/2024 13:56

Yes I would and I did,

Comedycook · 14/11/2024 13:57

So he doesn't work or do anything in the house ....

Yes of course I'd leave ..

MrsSchnickelfritz · 14/11/2024 13:57

Yes. He's made himself redundant hasn't he?

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 14/11/2024 14:07

Yes he's like a child except children usually grow up and get mature and start contributing

Natty13 · 14/11/2024 14:30

Yes. I wasn't raised by a lazy man, my much older brothers are not lazy husbands....laziness isn't manly to me so I would have the total ick.

Coldiron · 14/11/2024 14:36

Yes, I’ve done it twice

(in my defence husband 2 assured me he wasn’t lazy when we got together. but he was. So I left him too)

Pennyduke564 · 14/11/2024 19:53

I am going to be telling him that he needs to start helping out with the house work or I will be leaving and getting divorced

Nothing and the kids are 12 year old son 2 14 year old daughters and a 16 year old son and he is 54 and I am 54

OP posts:
Comedycook · 14/11/2024 19:56

Why doesn't he work?

Pennyduke564 · 14/11/2024 19:58

He does not work and we have been married for 30 years

Even your first sentence is telling, OP.

He shouldn't be "helping you" with the housework. It isn't your job that he should "help" if he sees fit. It is 50% his job.

Dweetfidilove · 14/11/2024 19:59

Yes. Thankfully I've never attracted a work shy man, but yes. He'd be gone pronto!

He hasn't worked for 30 years?! But why?
