I feel as though she is controlling my life too. There are no children involved thank goodness. I understand she was very high maintenance in the relationship. Oh she's since announced she can't do the housecleaning either and has dropped him a bill for professional cleaning services.
I applaud the suggestion of getting a doctor's note. If it does turn out she is incapable of doing these tasks on her own, there exist programs for doing these chores for the physically disabled for either free or subsidized rate(s)

The divorce should solve a lot of these issues. What he legally owes her should be laid out in the divorce and he should make sure his lawyer knows what all he has contributed so far. You don't say how old this woman is. I don't recommend any "doctor's note" stuff except for how the settlement will be done. If she is claiming some sort of disability, that should be made a part of the legally enforceable settlement. They've settled into a push-pull kind of dance; for your sake, you're going to want to know if they will be done dancing when the divorce is finalized. Personally, I wouldn't want to be involved with a man who was dancing attendance on another woman.
