Agree
- You'll grow to resent carrying everything
- They need consequences to change
- Partnership requires mutual effort
- Can't save someone from themselves
- You deserve an equal contributor
Disagree
- Love means accepting them fully
- Could be depression, not laziness
- Ambition isn't everything in life
- Different people value different things
- Stability matters more than drive
