The honey moon is over and real life has now began. This is where you will get to see him in his true colors. All those vices that were well hidden during courtship are bound to rear their ugly heads. Sooner or later you are bound to discover what type of man your husband is. He fails to pay attention to small things which are what matters to a woman. The courtesy which he had mastered so well during courtship has done a disappearing act. Those endearing words he used to call you for instance honey, sweet heart, darling are replaced with a gruff word like you or hey! He no longer remembers any anniversary as long as your marriage is concerned. He can hardly figure out which date your birthday used to come. He even has the audacity of going out without informing you. These means that you no longer mean so much to him. He can do without you. All these are tell tale signs of what makes a bad husband.

Alcohol if not used in moderation is known to transform a once good and responsible man into a dumb man. Alcoholism is irritating and the source of many domestic problems. Alcohol impairs reasoning and when he comes home intoxicated and you question his conduct it degenerates into a brawl. A confrontation that makes you wince every time you remember the incidence. What makes a bad husband is lack of responsibility. Alcoholism shows he is not in control of himself. It only exposes his recklessness and lack of wisdom. Staggering home in the wee hours of the night does not go down well with the children. They need a role model but you are an embarrassment to them. They are ridiculed by their peers because their father is the laughing stock of the neighborhood.

Bad husband material is always involved with womanizing and cheating right, left and center. He has a string of mistresses and girlfriends even in places you would never think of. He has a roving eye and would not hesitate having an affair with the tea girl in the office to the girl seated at the counter in his local pub or the house help at home and his wife's best friend. He will pretend to be repentant and promise to reform and never repeat such acts. But that will only be a public relations stunt. You cannot change a man from what he is. You have to learn to stay with him that way. If he is a jerk, do not think you can change him. Be prepared to be heartbroken several dozen times. He is no longer sensitive to your feelings and neither does he care about your opinion.

A man who is self cent red and eccentric. He only thinks about himself without putting you in the bigger picture is what makes a bad husband. He fails to offer child support to his very own children and you are left fending for the children single handedly. He is not sensitive to your plight. A person who makes you regret the day you said i do. A bad husband fails to live up to your expectations. The love and happiness you always thought of remains elusive with him.
