    Yup, maybe. And none of this changes anything. If he is a nice guy whose "bad habit/shortcoming" is never doing his share of the household work (I struggle to see how such thoughtlessness could be reconciled with "nice", but let's go with it for the sake of argument), she should leave rather than have kids with him because kids are very, very hard work. If he doesn't find her attractive or interesting, or doesn't want to be a dad, she should DEFINITELY leave rather than have kids with him, for his sake and any future kids' as well as hers.

    Good luck OP!
