What if they don't? That isn't actually part of the deal legally speaking, they can just refuse to lift a finger to no consequence.
It's a lot easier to get rid of a layabout when you aren't married. If you get married you probably increase the probability they get lazy beacuse now you've limited your options and they know it.
- caeril 3y agoI have no idea why you're downvoted, as this is a proper response. Many of us are living this hell. It's too expensive to leave the lazy partner, and they know it. So you earn all the money, do 80% of the housework, and raise the children nearly yourself. They watch TikTok and Instagram all day, and your lawyer gives you an estimated price tag of well over a million dollars to escape. So you make the rational choice to remain in hell until you die, being her personal pack mule forever.
- CrazyStat 3y agoI don’t want to be glib, but a million dollars to get out of hell seems cheap.
