[quote=Anonymous]My DH used to stay out late when he would go out with his friends, and so he turned on his location tracking so I would know where he was if I woke up. We then had a conversation about how nothing really good happens after midnight so he now comes home before then. I think some men have a hard time realizing that their drinking habits need to change as they get older when their friends also still drink like they are in college. He now knows that I don't believe in drinking that way, and he has adjusted accordingly.

My brother-in-law sounds a lot like your DH: ADHD, huge extrovert, but he was also constantly pursued by women and really took advantage of that situation. That all began to change once he met his wife, who is much more introverted and staid in her socializing, and it completely changed once they had their DD. He now doesn't drink.

I do think it is very possible for men to change, but it has to be a change they are willing to make for the sake of their partner and marriage. It takes self-reflection to realize why they are drinking so heavily and admitting that they are hurting someone they love through their actions. If your DH is able to do that on his own or with the help of a counselor, I think you can have a strong relationship, and this is just the first of many adjustments you and he will make throughout your marriage.
