[quote=Anonymous]I did divorce my worthless husband over this behavior.  And no, he didn’t start out that way or I’d never have married him.  Very gradually, over the course of many years, I became the default everything.  I was drowning in responsibilities and he was sitting on the couch watching TV or surfing the internet.  He’d complain that I was too tired for intimacy, which I was a lot because having to be all the roles in a marriage is exhausting for one person.  But when I asked if he could help with some of the day to day chores nothing changed.  I slowly lost respect for him and ultimately didn’t want to be intimate with him because I don’t have any interest in fooling around with someone I don’t respect.  As attractive as he was physically he just wasn’t attractive to me any more.  The marriage just imploded from there.  What it came down to for me was what value he added to the marriage and the household.  And by the end it really wasn’t much.  We had similar earnings.  My life changed for the better in so many ways after the divorce.  My chores were reduced and I had one less person to take care of.  Kids were in high school and once they started driving spent the majority of the time at my place, even on his weeks.  And now when they come home from college they stay with me and see him a bit.  He has a new life and a new family so he seems happy in that regard.  I think in my case divorce worked out for the better for everyone.[/quote]
