ANSWER:

He is sinful as he is required to provide for his wife and kids. If you work, quit your job so that he can assume his role as a man and take over providing for his household. If you don’t work and still he doesn’t provide for you, complain to his parents and family of what he is doing.

I am a mother with 5 kids and a wife of a husband who has been married with him for 26 years. I am currently in a situation with my husband who does not provide for me and my kids, he does so now and then. I have been patient for 20 years but he somehow provides for his brothers and sisters without fail. I’ve tried convincing him for too long. Any advice?
