My friend's husband is a jerk. Of course, all of this is about money. She was divorced from her first marriage. Her 2nd marriage, he has 2 kids - she didn't have any. She was awarded the house in the divorce and the house is in her name. When she got remarried it was not changed to include her new husband because of his dopey kids. He will not contribute anything to the upkeep of the house. He pays bills like electric and stuff like that but nothing else. He works full time and then has a part time job. She is only working 3 days a week because of the economy. He is just ugly because his name is not on the deed to the house. He won't share any of his money with her and she wouldn't be able to make it with the bills without him. The house is falling in around their ears and he doesn't care and she doesn't have the money to fix. What would you do in this situation?

i think here the couple must understand each other. how it should be expected from one only when there is no trust reside between them. i think if the husband is paying the bills and some other domestic expenses the girl must not only think negative. i think she should also support him so that there must be a strong bondage between them. in my view she should also consider that she is a divorced and again there must not be any reason to do it again. any way...goodluck for the couple.

I would pack his bags myself and then send him on his way. I will sell the house and try to start a new life somewhere else. No one needs this extra trouble in todays life. TATA.
