Hello,

Thank you for writing in to us. Happy to help.

I read your query and really appreciate you taking help in difficult times like this.

I understand you are going through a troubled time due to your husband. When you say that you want to get back with your husband who is alcoholic and has a relationship with another girl, I wonder what can be the reason you want such a person in your life?

Please elaborate on the reasons (pros and cons) of being with your husband. Also, try and think of the impact of divorce on your life (pros and cons).

Answering the above questions will help you get clarity as to what is it that you want in your life and how do you want to lead your life. Once you get answer to these questions we can then take up your query about "how can you stop this."
