My husband and I had problems these past month. We try to work it out. Fix things together and talk about it. But omg, there he goes again, as of 12:14 midnight today he's still out having a drink with his friends. He knows that i'm going to work tomorrow. And nobody else would take care of my son in going to school and fix things. He knows that he is responsible for all that. We're trying to talk but why is he like that? I don't know what runs through his mind, looks like he will still keep on doing this...

I'm real sorry to that. Some husbands take a long time to adjust to married life and still act like they were single while others adapt to it almost immediately. I think that you'll have to continue talking to him about this until he understands. Try to avoid becoming angry when you're telling him about this(although you have every right to be) since this will just make him close his mind to your explanation. I hope he sees the light soon. Good luck!

All I could say is that I UNDERSTAND what you're going through. You are not alone in having this kind of problem. I've been coping with this problem with my husband for the last 8 years. I did everything I can do but it seems he can't comprehend what I'm telling him. He kept saying he will minimize drinking with his friends but to no avail. Could you imagine 2 days after we got married, he went out and drank with his buddies and got home 4 in the morning. He did it again the next 2 days. And again and again and again...My husband is not really that bad at all. He is a very hardworking person and provided us well. He says he needed to go out for a drink to relax his mind. I stop questioning myself where do I go wrong? Why did my husband prefer the company of his friends rather than to my children and me. I simply stop fighting him about it.

I'm sorry to hear that sis. I don't know what to say... but what I can say is that there's really a person like that who will follow at first then after few days will be back to old ways. (sigh)... I'm sorry to tell you that he might not change anymore or if he does, it is because something serious happened.

He sounds like he is not taking your talk seriously and if he agrees it is simply to get you off his back (so to speak). This is a real issue since you work and he needs to take care of the child. Does he work? How long have you been married? It sounds like he just wants his own way. But he has a responsiblity to his child and to you. Marriage is a two way street and both need to pull their weight. When you talk with him try not to be angry because that only puts his back against the wall and then you will get no where. I wish you luck on getting him to understand that he needs to make some changes.
