Is it normal to wonder why?!

Ok granted this is a rather common is it normal but I'm curious to hear others opinions. I have a male friend who is in his mid thirties. Often he complains about the state of his relationship but seems unwilling to do anything about it.
Fact is he has been with this girl a number of years, they live together etc but he does literally everything. She decided that she hated her job and walked out one day leaving him as the main bread winner on national minimum wage and his parents are now having to help him pay the bills. She doesn't make an effort to even find another job, instead spends all day and all evening on the computer. She doesn't cook, clean or even do the shopping - he does it all. He is often stressed and tired because he goes to work, comes home and does everything. On top of this he can't even have the car they share to get to work and has to pay bus fair all the time which amounts to a lot out of his wages.
Far be it from me to try to dictate his life but the times we have spoken about it he says he can't leave because they have a house together and have been together too long. Am I the only one who doesn't think this is normal or healthy?!
Thanks for reading.

    sure its normal to wonder why but it is his life and if he wants to ruin it with a lazy chick who is probably cheating on him anyway then that is his choice. im sure one day he will wake up to this and kick her out. until then, just be his friend and support him if he needs to blow of steam.

    Nope, NOT normal, but it is common. I know people like this. Hes there cuz he wants to be. No other reason than that. I promise you it isnt bcuz of the house they have.
