i don't know any cases about that, but all i can say is that's realy wierd, well girl most of the girls don't like to be the one to feed there family. some would but the guy have to do something in return of it. because the guy should be the one to make things for the family than wife. i'am not saying women don't need to do anything we also have to but the man have to do most of the work.. beacuse there more capable than the women.

As long as the woman feels comfortable and does not feel guilty that she is working and her husband is not, thats fine...Also, being at home, i guess he must be looking after the kids and all the household chores..if he does not even do that, then i think that defntly is going to bother anyone in that situation

in fairness to him, he lokks after their 2 year old daughter..but what bugs my friend is that he keeps on demanding to her to buy him things that are not in their budget..and worst, he makes her provide for his vices...

I am/was in a situation like that. I worked and my husband stayed at home. In the beginning he had a small business, which generated some income, nothing to write home about though, and it was okay for me. when his business started to slow down, he did not try to do anything else. We are paying the price now, because I got laid off from my job two months ago, and finances are really tight. I am still bringing in the bacon so to speak, with my unemployment benefits. I am not receiving enough to handle our monthly bills though. Now, my husband has got a job as a commission salesman, which is another job which is not generating any income unless he sales something. He has made one sale in one month. That't not going to get it either. We are really struggling.

im sorry to hear that..i thought cases like these are only found at the pocket books..now they show me that im in the real world..people struggling and trying..in your situation, at least, your husband is trying to help..i just hope he would try harder to sell more...i know, you'll get thru it together...God bless!

well i was stay at home for awhile, a few times. just not because i wanted too. but i got laid off then i got hurt. all different together but if he's wanting to stay just because he dont feel like working, he's lazy and to me he's not a man. i feel it's a man place to go out and work. if they need to two income then both works. i had a brother in law like this he was just lazy. here me and my wife are both disable, with time being hard, she was like i can go back to work. but she's illagaly blind.she can see but can't drive. so i told her no i will go back to work. my body is pretty mess up, when i get home i am sore and i hurt. but i go out and do what a man should do.. tell her kick his lazy butt to the curb..

i admire your position in this case..,that husband of my friend should take it from you..you are differently able?? in what way?? it must be pretty tough for you and your wife but i can see that you two are making it work...im proud of you..i hope my friend finds a good man after the annulment...( although she said, its not her priority anymore and that she had had enough)
