My girlfriend and I are having our 2nd child, but together we have FOUR. The one on the way is a girl and the other three are boys.

When I met her she walked everywhere, didn't earn much and had come out of an abusive relationship with her ex, her first child's father. I immediately "came" to the rescue.

She now is a housewife living in the lap of luxury and is probably the laziest, boring person I know. She has no enthusiasm and when confronted, withdraws and ends up crying and feeling sorry for herself. How can I solve this situation?

Sorry for my mistake, I apologize for talking about you being married when you aren't. Still, since you have kids together I believe you should give it your all. Maybe yall can make a comeback. Best wishes.

You can't change her, and if you've already talked about it to this end then there's only so much you can do for her. Therapy saved my friend's marriage, so it might help if you're both willing. I say fight for this as long as you can, because you married her for a reason and shouldn't give her up easy.

tough one... i think i would tell her that u will always be there to help and support the children, but u dont feel happy in the relationship. if left any longer you will start arguing and that isnt the enviroment you want for the children as anyone 1 can tell, it might kick start her into shape again, or ship out...
