My GF's ex didnt work for 3 years - she always worked and tried to get him to actually work. He took advantage of her.

First, the other option is to blame the spouse and we don't want to believe it about them.
Second, I think deep down our mind is practical and realizes before we do that we can only fix ourselves and not other people. So blaming ourselves is productive - we can DO things right away like they might make a difference.
But as time goes on we start to realize that isn't productive because the problems are inside the other person and they have to fix them. So we have to accept that they aren't who we hoped they would be and that we have to rely on them to fix themselves and sometimes they can't or won't.
