[quote=Anonymous]That describes my brother's wife's family that he married into. We met them all in their home at their wedding and we were all seriously shocked at the grime. They were nice enough/pretty quiet and not very dynamic but we were shocked that our brother didn't gently dump her after he saw their home. We had standards and it appeared he didn't and we were all marveling at why he didn't fundamentally see that they were not a fit (Filthy, flies buzzing around, landing on food/no one caring. Pet feces not picked up in yard).

Frankly, the elders in our family were offended he was ok marrying into that. My sister and I asked him about it (we are very open) and he acknowledged it but responded 'no problem- I don't need a cleaner- I know how to clean.

Within 4 years they were divorced, in part to her lack of cleaning/vacuuming/food handling hygiene. I don't know if he though he could teach her to 'get it' or clean but she didn't learn and didn't care to help out around the house (both full time grad students, then employeed). This lack of concern/laziness wore on him over time. I think he realized before they had kids that he did NOT want to have kids in this situation/more work for him only.

So fundamentally, if you don't care, it could work. I know that is a big difference in values for me and it wouldn't work.[/quote]
