I mean, the first thought I had just now is that he's useless and troublesome, and usually when the male partner is useless and troublesome then THEY are the ones that have to pay if anyone is to pay. Am I wrong?

Yes but in a community property state each spouse is entitled to an equal distribution of the assets. My biz was started while we were together. Even tho he never lifted a finger, doesn't even know how to turn on a PC, etc.. if he'd had the money to get an attorney and take me to court they would have had my biz valued and I could of paid him half of that. Instead, because he'd not worked for 18 months before I booted his ass...he didn't have shyt for $$. In fact, called me whining a month after wanting money (in advance) so he could get an attorney. I told him no signed asset dispursement, no $$. So he was over a barrel. I got off way way easy. $250K at the rate of $5K per month, and the $95K loan on the $150K boat which he's now decided to try to sell. If we'd battled over a biz valuation it could of been many times that amount.
