Is it normal that my sister is still with him?

My sister's boyfriend lost his job last year, and my sister is a nurse. She works very hard and deserves every penny she gets, and since he has lost his job, she has had to work more shifts to help him pay his car payment and some of his expenses (they live together btw). Whenever I go over, he is playing his Xbox and when someone asks my sister if he is looking for a job she just says he has bad luck.

He won't do dishes unless she pleads with him that she is too tired, he throws parties while she is working 16 hour shifts at the hospital, and I can not believe that he is looking for work. He worked at McDonalds, most jobs he could find would be better than fast food anyway so I don't see why he can't look?

Now, this guy is basically a dick (with a body attached, of course), and I'm sure he has some good qualities, but my sister can't make enough to support the household alone and he won't even do laundry. What the hell gives, do women typically go for men like this? If that's the case, I'd better quit my job soon.

    You forgot to mention they love eachother.
    Advise your sister to assert more power in the relationship (if you must) but other than that stay out.
    You should not visit their home if you are just going to criticize their lifestyle.

    By the way, I think she's an idiot for allowing this lazy worthless sack of shit to live with her, but hey that's love I suppose.

    Oh, please don't shoot him, he's obviously still young in mind. How sweet.
    Maybe give him ten bucks to wash your car or something, that may inspire him to actually get up and do things.
    I'll give you a dollar if you kiss my boots and call me Master in public, Yes SIR :)

    Love can overtake the mind from making the right decision. Trust me.

    She might feel "attached". Causing her to wonder why she just can't let go of him. You have to force her too. Trust me. You know it's worth it

    Talk to him. If it needs to be done - kick his ass. You have my full support.

    If they live together she might feel obliged to stay with him? Where else would she go or who else would she be with?
