I would like some advice about what to do with a huband who goes out partying all usually cooperative but he occasionally does this, and also sometimes gets into trouble night. My huband is a hard worker and due to it. I always said I would not put up with a husband who did this, but what can I really do? I have told him how I felt in a logical calm conversation, cried to him, sent him to the couch, ignored him, and ignored that it ever happened. He still does his own thing. I think the main problem is the fact that I am a Christian and though he claims to be one too, lives a non-Christian lifestyle. I take our baby to church and Sunday School every week and try to live a clean life, and he does not go to church with us and curses, drinks, and smokes (thankfully not around the baby). Though I have asked him not to curse or drink a lot around me or the baby, sometimes he still does. Should I just accept that this is the way he is and just pray for him or should I say something when he does these things since he claims to be a Christian? I get tired of being in this atmosphere every day, it is discouraging to me spiritually and embarrassing sometimes. He hates for me to tell him what to do so usually I don't say anything about it, as he gets very defensive and just insists on doing what he wants. On the rare occasion that we have a serious talk and he opens up, I can tell that he does try and he apologizes, and I think there's hope for him. But then when he does this staying out all night it makes me so angry and frustrated. Does anyone else out there deal with issues like this, what is the best thing to do?
