He don’t have a disability by the way.

If you’re asking us whether or not you should stay in a relationship, then you most likely already know answer and have already been thinking about it. You don’t need us to pull the trigger.

Is he actively trying to get a job or not?
If he is not even trying, what do you think will change a few years later? He will still be the same person and you will still have to support the entire household.
Does he at least do chores? Does he take care of the kid? Or do you do everything on your own and you have to parent him as well?

You already know the answer deep within you by the way.

I don't know, how motivated is he, or is he now depressed?

Were you beating him up emotionally or supportive? Guys can handle a lot of crap sometimes, but emotional hits from the woman that has his heart can take him down rather than motivate.

Yes you should. Believe me no good man wants to commit to a woman who leaves her husband and has baggage

I’m here on GAG to decode relationship drama and help you spot red flags before they wreck your peace.

If he hasn’t worked all year and isn’t seriously trying, that’s not just laziness, that’s a lifestyle choice. Huge red flag. You’re carrying the financial and emotional load while he benefits. That isn’t partnership, that’s parenting a grown man.

You deserve a teammate, not dead weight. If he shows no real plan, consistency, or effort, it’s time to protect your child and your future, not his comfort.

Love alone cannot pay the bills, provide stability, or sustain a partnership when the effort is entirely one-sided. You will need to make some difficult choices.

You already know it, so do it.

[TonyMetal___1986]

If you're married than yes, try to work it out together and if not than it's your choice

[Iron_Man]

Yes maybe there’s a reason why he’s not working

[shortster]

Is he staying home to take care of the kids and house?

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Disability or laziness?
