a person working full time should financially support someone who sits at home all day and who has not had a job in 28 years.

You say this person sits at home all day? Is this person at home doing the laundry, washing dishes, cooking meals, getting the groceries, sending out the bills, sweeping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms, dusting, making the beds, tended to children, cleaning up the yard, and (if that person has any spare time left) providing you with intimacy or a combination of any and all of the above? Gee I would say they have more jobs than you probably have and what do you pay for these services? Marriage is a two way street. You may not see the importance of what gets done at home, but I haven't seen too many hookers you can pay that also do housework and cook your meals. If they did, I don't think you could afford their rates. Appreciate what gets done at home.

If it was agreed upon that the person would stay home, then it should not be fine. Plus telling someone who has no job skills to go out and find work can be a difficult thing to do. Is this person a housewife, disabled, are their kids at hom involved in this situation? There are many different scenarios to this situation, and a different answer for each. My mother never worked, that was agreed upon at the beginning of the relationship. She took care of the house and kids (An unpaid fulltime job), while he worked to provide financially.

What is the reason they have not had a job? Are they disabled or are they reasing kids? Ask the person why and you just might get an answer or a reason. If this is your spouse as them to please get a job and help out if need be. If the person is not working are they taking care of the things at home like house keeping and such while you are at work? If they are then they are working at home to keep things in order and this in itself can be a full time job.

No, not unless they are handicapped or taking care of your kids, tending to the home, cooking for you or doing yardwork etc. You really didn't go into detail with this one. Are you married? Is it something you agreed to? Depending on the situation but if they are just being lazy stop supporting them they will get modivated when they need money.

Is this person disabled or otherwise unable to work? Does this person go to school full time with career aspirations for the near future? If not, there is no reason I can think of!

Errr hell no!! And who's to blame here the person supporting? In a way your enabling their behaviour. We teach people how to treat us. Cut off the support and see what happens, will they stay or find someone else to sponge from? Good luck :o)

well, yes, for a start is the other person at home able to work?
if they are then theres no excuse. have they low self esteem as that sometimes prevents people from socialising and or working.

Depends on the situation. In general its wrong. But it depends why the person hasnt got a job.

If they are married...yes
If she is a homemaker YES! Taking care of the house and the kids is a fulltime job and is unpaid, so the least you can do is to finnancially support them.
Good luck
