I have seen this happen. What I have discovered is that the man typically will not change his ways. Therefore, the wife has the choice to decide if she can live with it or to tell him here are some stipulations to make it work. I suggest you make them very clear and inform in a kind way. He has to know that the talk will come someday. That is a tough one MF. I have seen this happen. What I have discovered is that the man typically will not change his ways.

Disappears upstairs to play computer games when he comes home. Doesn't want to know about finances, doesn't care. I'd love to know if anyone has found a solution to this relationship/finances issue, other than splitting up, or working night and day to make enough money to survive. How many women in internet marketing do it mainly because they have "shadow" husbands that they have to pick up the financial slack on?
