question
I am at a critical juncture of my marriage. my husband is an excessive drinker and our flights are because of that only. he gets verbally and at times overtly loving and next day downstairs remember anything.
Also I feel that he is going around with other women. instances where I find perfume smell in his clothes and it is usually on evenings that he comes back drunk. once I also that he has a hicky on his neck. I confronted him a couple of times but he denies.
I am in a really baby state of mind now. How do I figure he is cheating on me?
having a three year old complicates my next steps on this too. feeling quiet helpless and shattered. I need strwngth!

Talk to your parents about it. Talk to your parents in law about it. Seek advice from them. If your parents in law don't support you, let them know you will ask your parents to come into the picture. <br> Don't feel hesitant, be cool and keep your tone down. <br> Wishing you all the strength!

Lots of love to you! I am married in a family where a lot people drink on daily basis.&nbsp; If there is something I have learnt , it is NEVER to argue or confront someone when they are d runk. However, you MUST speak to him the following day WITHOUT losing your patience or temper. As Aditi said discuss with him why he feels the need to drink or see other women (if he is doing so)? You'll need tremendous patience to be able to do so. Love is the only way you can get through to him. You will need to work with him if he is ready to give up on alcohol. At the same time,&nbsp; you'll also have to do a lot of soul searching. Will you be ready to forgive him?&nbsp; Because forgiving would mean never to bring it up again. You will need to stand beside him and the road to recovery will be a difficult one but it is possible. Much power and love to you. &#128158; Hope it all works out for the better.&nbsp; &#128158;

Hugs to you dear. It takes a lot of courage to open up about it. We are all here to help you. The next time your husband is sober, sit him down and discuss what is there in your heart. Or better yet write everything down and give him a letter or an email. Sometimes conversations go out of hand and the real point of the issue is lost. And ask him to give you a time where you both can discuss what you have told him. Is there a reason why he drinks? Or is it just for fun? Have you suggested AA or rehabilitation to him? If you feel he has an affair then maybe there is something he finds lacking in the marriage? Companionship? Sex? Attraction? Or is it the alcohol? Ask him what it is. Be confident. Act confident. Is it possible to involve a close elder of the family without it getting too messy? Usually in cases like these threats and ultimatums don't really <u>work</u>. Counselling may also help. I hope you both are able to get through this well. More power to you love. If he gets physically abusive you might have to take action to prevent harm to you and your child. <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @63729b593f31520016a69b80 </b></span> <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @6372999217d2c800158d8bec </b></span> <b><span style="color:#3B5998;"> @616d0591b34e550013eb9a72 </span></b> <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @6372c1453f31520016a69ec3 </b></span> <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @6372d8dd17d2c800158d9008 </b></span> pls advice #tagfwd

at first just try to control your self from getting shattered.....nothing in this world is capable for making u down,u are already a strong women ,and have courage to speak the problem your are facing. try to speak to your husband at first that often drinking is not at all good n acceptable ,if your suspecting him , make sure you have check back if he is really involved ,but don't stress too much.if this is first time this all is happening speak to him directly about your doubts and what's disturbing u constantly. speak&nbsp; to your elders ,in laws any influential member of the family to intervene if require.&nbsp; You need to be strong,practical,n always believe in yourself .....love n hugs.&nbsp;&nbsp; don't worry things&nbsp; will be in place .
