Did you marry in haste? They say that "marry inhaste and repent at liesure." Why do people make such mistakes. i still maintain that arranged marriages are better than love marriages. There is less chance of an arranged marriage failing. Statistics prove it. In india more than 95% MARRIAGES ARE ARRANGED MARRIAGES and divorce rate is jsut about 2%-5%, that too in the metropolitan cities. Statistics also prove that most of teh divorces are amongst those who go in for love marriages. Coming to your problem, confront yourhusband and have a heart to heart talk with him. If eh goes out with friends, thre has to be some reason for his stayingaway from home. Ask him what adjsutments he wasnts you to make and try to make those adjustments. if he wants to call his freinds home, let him of it keeps him home. Remember you can never clap with one hand. it takes two hands to clap so give him a chance.

This is a tough one since you have children. But I think you should not have to stay and fight because emotionally you do not need that. Even if you fight without the children around, they can feel the tension. I don't think you should stay together just because of the children; there should be more to your relationship wanting to stay together. Think of the children and how they feel if you are constantly fighting...it's probably pretty stressful. Maybe you could just separate for awhile and see what that does. Good Luck!

Its hard to know what to suggest without knowing what you have already tried regarding counselling, talking, mediation etc. Do you have any idea why things are difficult? Whay are you fighting, is it family, money, share of responsibilities? Have you tried sitting down and slowly and non judgementally talking about what isn't working for you both and what you both hoped to get out of the marriage. I hope it odes work out for you but you both need to be determined
