Help My Husband Lacks Self Control by virtuouswoman77(f): 9:05pm On Oct 03, 2020
Pls how do I handle this problem of hubby that does not have self control when it comes to alcohol?

He drinks too much and sometimes messes the bed up with urine.

I have talked to him still no change pls I need practice solutions that will make him stop because he is the type that doesn't take things serious unless it gets to him and this his behavior is making me regret my marriage to him.

If only people will leave sex, cheating and money to focus on important things during courting, we won't have people in miserable marriages or high rate of divorce.

Anger management, personalities, addictions, abuse, level of mutual understanding, friendship, goals, genotype, differences, family background and histories are very very underrated in relationships these day.

Sex, money, birthday, hanging out, cruise, sexchat, cooking and gifts are the only things existing in 99.742% of relationships in Nigeria.

Did he just start drinking alcohol or this has been happening for a longtime now? Majority of times when a man is depressed he turns to alcohol.

Do you know the source of his depression? Is it lack of finance, being out of a job or are you also contributing through constant nagging and belittling the man? Give us honest answers if you need our help.

Start cheating, coming home late, stop cooking


Just lose yourself and see your husband start focusing again

Your husband lacks self control because you tolerate it

Just imagine the type of advice you are giving the lady? So she should start cheating? Are you sane?

1) find the root cause of the problem.... he may have other deep issues that you have not cared to consider and his only escape is alcohol

2) be very prayerful (so he does not loose his life in such debauchery, and also so he changes his bad association or friends)

3) you both need COUNSELING.... a happy home will not be like this.... obviously he does not COMMUNICATE with you, he only TALKS TO YOU. So you are not his confidant.

4) MAKE THE FIRST MOVE, talk with him and let him open up to you... it won't be easy but it would help

5) HONOR AND RESPECT HIM, no matter what happens, do not loose respect for your man, he is all you've got

6) PROTECT his image the best way you can, and you can also ask his family for help.

7) Read Books, Blogs and attend conferences on FAMILY, HOME, RELATIONSHIPS


Heed these 7 instructions and things will begin to change

what advice would you give her?


She should pray, take care of a man who lacks self control?



She doesn't have herself to take care of?

Is the man a baby?

So cheating is the best advice you can give her? You should just tell her to go ahead and get a divorce then, smh undecided

Yes, putting God first in everything is the way to go, BUT He will not come down from His throne to solve our problems for us. That is why he gave us brains to carry out his will. The OP needs PRACTICAL solutions in addition to prayers.

Don't take it personally dear. It's in to blame women for everything on this forum. These people have made perfect choices and live perfect lives so they won't understand.

How often does your husband drink? What does he drink?

That's serious alcohol addiction then. And this needs to be treated with utmost care because of the withdrawal symptoms which most times can be violent. Please have a sit down with him and have a heart to heart chat with him on how this his addiction is causing a strain on your marriage and making him a laughing stock as well. You can take him to a rehab center that deals with addictions, I know we don't have triple A centers in Nigeria but we have some good rehab centers in Lagos. And act fast because apart from family strains it will also affect his job performance and relationship with other people as well. Please don't abandon him, try and help him get through this addiction. I wish you well.

When you talk to him, what does he say? Does he admit to his problem or does he deny it? Is he aware of his addiction or in denial mode/playing it down?

The issue is quite deep. Have you tried seeking psychiatric therapy? Have you considered talking to a psychologist to see if the root cause can be ascertained? Is he embarrassed by his actions when he is in his right senses? Did he feel remorse of his actions? There are so many things to put into consideration and while I wouldn't rule out prayers/ spiritual therapy, you also need physical therapy.
