English term or phrase: they're saddled with
Commedia teatrale canadese. Dialogo tra un uomo e una donna sui rapporti tra i due sessi. Battuta dell'uomo:

women choose the wrong man to begin with. And then even after they realize what a hopeless n'er-do-well they're saddled with, they defend the lout.

La mia proposta:

per cominciare, le donne scelgono regolarmente l’uomo sbagliato. E poi, anche dopo che si sono rese conto di quale buono a nulla senza speranza si sono appioppate, difendono il cialtrone.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!
