text: i have been married for 4 years and i still can not get my husband to stay out the streets.? this issue has really put a strain on our relationship at least for me anyways. he will just not change. i have talked to him many times and he just makes all these broken promises. so, if he likes the streets so much, threaten to put him there permanently. you can always find someone who loves you enough to be there with you and spend time with you. this is not to say that the hubby shouldn't do some things on his own - you need your separate interests, too - but he should not only want to be with you, but he should look forward to the time he gets to spend with you.
