How do I get my husband to understand.
Relationship Stress / by powerfulSpring9274

...See more   When my husband isnt drinking, he is a good man, a good father. But those impromptu night out drinking has caused so much stress in our relationship. He dont realised that he has the issue of keeping track of time. when he said he would be home by certain time but ended up turning up few hrs late. I cannot get him to understand his behavior has caused great stress to me as I get worried a lot what could or might happened specially in the middle of the night when he didnt come home as expected. He will missed all my calls, messages. At best, he will answer it and says he will be on his way and few hrs later he was still out there. I just couldnt get him to understand that and we will always end up getting into fights. He will apologise and  promise to watch his time and it just did not happen.  He thinks that I over reacted whenever he comes back later than expected but he didnt realise that it was the trust issue that was breached.  This has been going on for the last 5 years. although he has improved on the frequency of going out drinking but the inability to come back home at said time still remains the issue all these years. Which he thinks he has made great improvements despite that. How do I make him see that he is hurting me emotionally.
