Yeah that relationship dynamic doesn’t work.

The gamer side of the relationship sat around all day while I kept up the house and paid the bills and did things like go outside for fun.

he can fix her

It also helps that like 80+% of the time the guy is the one otaku who is relatively physically fit, reasonably grooms himself, and has at least a modicum of social skills (even though they temporarily have no friends before making 3 dozen)

Every once in a while though you get something like the first few volumes of watamote where the main character is genuinely a fairly reprehensible person who constantly makes things worse every time they try. Though to be fair even that ended up with tomoko somehow gaining a pseudo harem

Everyone likes their own things in people.
