If I was the women I would get shut of this time waster and tell him to get a life-followed by a divorce
If the man, quite simple really if no reason except lazititis preventing him from working-to go get a job...

I dont tolerate lazy or stupid people so i would of left him ages ago i probably wouldnt even married him to be honest.

If I was the woman, really loved him and didn't want to leave him, I would suggest that he takes over all the housework, cooking, gardening and shopping etc, etc, and I would be the breadwinner. This happens often anyway.

Unfortunately it's a bit late for that now the woman is pregnant, but I suppose once the child was old enough she could go to work again and he could care for the baby as well as everything else. Just like women do!

If he was too lazy to swap roles I think I'd ditch him.

If I loved him enough and he was a good husband otherwise I would get a job and let him be a house husband.

I'd have separate bank accounts, split the rent, bills, childcare, everything 50-50. Then he'd be accountable for himself and there would be nothing to fight about. He is his own responsibility.

Divorce the bone idle toe-rag - it is a sad state of affairs that we have allowed to happen in this country that he can go along quite happily doing this - put him on the breadline and then lets see his aversion to work - my ******* taxes are paying for him to do this - Thanks Gord

I'd get rid of him and have a long and happy life with my child.

I'd stick to my principles and stay away from the slave driving wench.
What makes him irresponsible if he chooses not to work? People complain all the time about their jobs and are so tired and miserable because they're in the rat-race, the only thing they can do is want everyone else in there, for what. Work smart not hard, is what I say.

Is there any doubt? What has possessed this woman to hang on so long, and even to come back with him after three years of separation.

It's a shame to think she will have to raise a child alone, but that's no reason to justify taking on a second responsibilty of looking after this deadbeat. I would guess that her feelings are less true love than insecurity and dependence -- but who am I to say?

This guy has never shown any sense of responsibility. By this time, he is unemployable, having no significant work experience and no work habits or work ethic. He is going to be a burden and a liability to others, for the rest of his life. She is best rid of him, should get a divorce, and ask the Court to keep him at least ten miles from her, for the rest of her life.
