My friend is married to a man who hasn't worked in five years. He hasn't even attempted to find a job. It's starting to bring her down because she works at home and he doesn't seem to respect the effort she puts out. What would you do in that situation?

I have no reason for any lazy person in my life, male or female. I know a cousin who is in a similar bind, she started out supporting him and now the butterfly effect has taken over and she is jobless but okay with it as well. I do not get it.

I'd tell him to get off his butt and go look for a job but that's just me. It makes things very difficult when only one person is trying and the other doesn't even appreciate the effort put forth.

I hate laziness. I bust my butt day in and day out and I do not complain or argue. However, at this point I would tell him he needs to either fully take care of the kids and house, get a job or get out. I know that sounds extreme but we must set a good example. He will teach the kids to be lazy and to take advantage of her, and I am guessing she already has enough work.
