I’m asking for a friend.... “I’m single” Would it be wrong to separate from your partner so they can get themselves together.

Or would this be considered tough love putting a man out until he gets on his feet. Or letting him stay with you and not contribute. Or build together but don’t see any changes simply because he’s not willing to change. Or do you think a man whose not willing to change will ever change if it’s space in the relationship...?

It depends on if he's TRYING to get "back on his feet". If he's genuinely trying, I'd say continue to support him if possible, because this is just one of those trials couples have to go through. But it's entirely different if he's not trying to find a job, contribute, etc. That's laziness and shows that he's not WILLING to be a partner to you, in which case the relationship probably wouldn't work out anyway
