Husband engages in bad friends company and has the habit of lying about job

Asked by Female, 26, Married
My husband lies to me about everything, he just wants to enjoy with his friends which I don't like because his friends are not good as they have a habit of drinking which I don't like at all. He has a lot of problems with his job, also he lies to me about his job too. I am very afraid and I don't understand as to how to handle the situation. Please guide me through this

Dear Writer, thank you for writing to us. It takes courage to reach out and take this step. I understand your husband's lying is making your anxious and understandbly upset. You have independently been taking care of financial responsibilities and while that's a good thing, I understand you want your husband to contribute as well.
Could you please answer the following questions to help me understand your situation better:
1. How long have you been married and when did the problem start ?
2. Does his behaviour make it difficult for you to trust him and rely on him and how is this affecting your relationship?
3. Does he have a job and is there any stress your husband is going through?
4. How concerned are you about his drinking habit?
Please message back to continue discussing. I am here to help. Regards
