When things went down in my sitch, that exactly when she got the reality check, "I'm not good enough for you, thus neither is MY money (she was always in charge of finances)". Also, "I'm not good enough to be your husband, than I'm no longer good enough to be your 'best friend', carpenter, mechanic, cook, maid, nothing, nada". And certainly, do not enable things by being the 'designated babysitter'!
