shame shame shame! Over 50 comments none has been able to provide a working and feasible solution.. @OP He wasn’t drinking much before, yes same as many married man. His problem is money and nothing much, there are certain responsibilities he wished he carry on his own, but marriage is something difficult on some men. Note for every addiction, you need another addiction to replace one. You can’t just make him stop drinking just like that, you have to replace it with another addiction you convenient with till he’s able to come back on his feet. I smell a great man been dragged by so many things. Another thing to take note is, he could have a guilty conscience about a particular secret he’s hiding. God knows if I ever commit or mistakenly commit murder and I was able to go free with it, I might end up drinking all my life or probably high on something else. Come close to your husband, drink few bottles with him at home and tell him a secret you’ve never told anyone, you can form one if you need to, just to catch his attention to tell you a lot about what he’s facing. I swear a friend of his might know much than you self. Replace his addiction with something else for now, probably smoke or coffee, just get him busy on something. I know it’s not easy cos things like this needs money to go by. 3 Likes |

Op be careful the kind of advice you receive here. Some people are frustrated in life and they would want you to be like them. Your husband case is spiritual and as such must be addressed accordingly. 1 Like |

Augustwife: I sympathize with you, you need to understand that you are dealing with an addict, getting through addiction is not an event, is a process, you need to get him help as soon as possible. I will suggest you both go see a psychologist, a root cause analysis needs to be done to find out what the problem is after which a therapist will work with him for a while (the while can be more than a year of weekly visits). Pray hard my sister, if your husband is as loving as you claim, it doesn't add up that he puts a strain in the family finances. 2 Likes |

You don't need divorce neither does he need prayer. You need to visit a counselor you need to dig deep to know his cause of addiction. It could be as a form of escape from trauma he had in his past. |

Did you not notice this while dating. Women stop rendering children fatherless through careless decisions via divorce. Alcohol is not the only thing taking his money. Can he drink 120k worth of drinks in a week? His got a mistress and committee of friends too the help him sink the family’s fortune. It’s time you forget your husband, with maturity, revive the family’s business with discipline and take care of your children. Feed him and cloth him but never release a dime for his habits. Take charge of your family’s finances for your continued happiness. Women think money matters more than character of a man as regards marriage. It is character that gets and keeps money for a man. Always emphasize on character of a man. 1 Like 1 Share |

I empathize with you and your family. Addiction to anything is terrible and the outcome isn't palatable. Who are his friends? Or does he drink alone? There are steps you can take to remedy this: 1. Cut off his access to business money. 2. Register the business in your name. 3. Try to discourage anyone from handing him loan. Should they go ahead to give him loan, then you have no obligation to payback . 4. Pray he encounters Jesus Christ. Only He can deliver men from addiction. 5. Continue to see a psychiatrist. 6. You can separate for a while to build on children and business. May God help you. |

It's unfortunate that this our indomie generations no nothing than to file a divorce! Biblically it's totally wrong to divorce, that's why you don't just rush into a marriage because marriage is an institution which fulls of positives and Negatives.that is the reason you have to pray very hard before going into the marriage because once you are inside it,you have to take your cross like that. You have to do more of counselling and be more prayerful, if possible take his matter to his Church's pastor for a proper deliverance. [color=#990000][/color] |

Augustwife: Let him/her who is without sin (one addiction or another) be the first to cast aspersion. Woman, your own is relatively better and your problem solvable. Since you mentioned that this man is a wonderful man, the least you can do is to be there for him at this rock-bottom stage of his life. Let him go for deliverance (I suggest MFM version). You can also visit any winners chapel to see the pastor, before long you shall testify. 1 Like |

Re: Not The Marriage I Had In Mind by Nauttyprof(m): 2:06pm On May 22, 2022 |
There might be a root cause of his drinking which a good therapist needs to find out. Until the root cause is addressed, this man will continue to seek alcohol as the solution to it. He really needs a good therapist to handle his case. You mentioned that he is nice and initially, he drink just occasionally but this changed to something terrible now. There is definitely a root cause which needs to be addressed. 1 Like |
Re: Not The Marriage I Had In Mind by teemy(m): 2:07pm On May 22, 2022 |
@Augustwife Wean him off the alcohol. Check on quora for real-life stories of those chronic dunks who were able to defeat the bottle. That should help in his therapy Contact his drinking buddies. Don't be tempted to put the blame on them but explain to them what financial situation and social implications it has on their friend. There is a way colleagues can talk it into one another's heads. Tell him the end result if he fails. You should ask him if he wants his kids to have the current memory of him as they grow up. His shaky-shaky daddy status now probably indicates a health issue. He might lose you, he might lose the kids. He needs to exile himself into rehab and swaps his physical activities for something productive. Maybe even learn a new online business skill during his self-incarceration. Looking forward to hearing that success story in months to come. Wishing you well - Teemy 1 Like 1 Share |

Augustwife: Hello dear, pls disregard anyone suggesting divorce as a solution to you...don't give the devil or home breakers a chance. Such advice is evil& not with good intentions. You don't run away from challenges because the problems you solve makes you a winner&elevates you in life. This is the time your partner needs you, in his time of weakness &trust me this is another test of that love you say you have for him..so prove it and by the time he comes out of this, he will never forget your good deeds in his lowest time. From your story, your husband seems to be a good person just that he has an addiction with alcoholism..So it means he needs help. You have to understand that he is not happy with the life he is living, he wants to change and be a better man but lacks the will power to change....so with this understanding approach the situation in a much wiser way. I understand the challenge is much&seems overwhelming but I can also see that you are a very good wife so continue to do your best and don't allow anyone decieve you or take advantage because of this your situation. Enroll him for therapy for some longer time, deny him anything that triggers desire for alcohol...(money, alcoholic drinks, cut off his drinking friends, alcoholic adverts, events were alcohol will be served etc) to he becomes sober. Probably, he needs a rude awakening that will shock him and make him stay away from alcohol but we pray it won't be something sad or his health. Don't allow yourself to be under pressure for the sake of your health &kids....allow genuine, well meaning people(family &friends) to support you now so you won't get overwhelmed with the situation. Above all know that this too shall pass, continue in prayers(very important) as well as your human efforts and God will help your family. Your husband will come out of this and you will surely thank God. Best wishes. 2 Likes |
