would you divorce over this

That's a hard question---I know a couple that irritate the fire right out of me because he'll work for a few months-never over a year,and they have children.It irritates me because they get their utilities turned off and act like it's someone else's fault-so,I can see why they might get divorced over not working.However,over cleaning house-nope,can't see that would be a reason. I would tell him one of us has to work at some employment and if he wants to be unemployed,then he could be the house man and I'd work.But in that case,he'd have to do the things I would normally do. Yes,I hear all their arguments over not having money and feel the man should work because even now, a man tends to make more money.However,a divorce??Not unless something else was happening as well.

What a stupid reason to get divorced?There are other serious reasons.Try to get him to work.

I'm not certain I would divorce my spouse over this. As you say, I would confront them and try to get them to see the error of their ways. Failing that, I would either make do with the situation or maybe just leave for a while and see if they change their ways.

No, not in the short term! But if it was a really serious, ongoing issue it could lead to that. If it went on for years and years, him not doing anything to help and even refusing to work, I don't think I could stand it. But I think that's a personality trait that you would see before you ever got married and I just don't think I could marry someone like that in the first place.

No, regardless of laziness which yes is annoying. It's something you should confront. Hopefully you didn't marry because the spouse cleans well. Geez.
