It is permissible to be late at work or with friends after work. But if this is repeated daily, it is rare for a wife to look at it with approval. Thoughts of infidelity or other worries may involuntarily appear, so it is worth talking to your husband, but delicately.
Understand the situation. It's one thing if a husband comes home late because of work. During business problems or during a reporting period, such delays are understandable. Ask the man why he is late and when he can show up on time. Do not make a scandal, show that you need it and that is why you are waiting for your return. "I miss you and want to spend more time together, can you come earlier after work?"
Talk about his lateness
Start the conversation right. Give him a rest after coming home, have dinner, and when he is in a good mood, offer to talk. Do not raise your tone, do not throw accusations, you need to show that you do not like his late arrival, because you are bored. Or the kids want to spend time with their father. Build phrases not "you have to …", but "I need …", then he will be able to look at the situation from your side.
If talking doesn't help and he continues to be late at work, let go of the situation. Do not warm up dinner for him, go to bed without waiting for him, go for a walk with your friends so that he feels in your place. Perhaps this tactic will help sober him up, and he will reflect on his behavior.
The reason is another woman
But sometimes the problem is not at work. If during your husband's lateness you called at work, and he left two hours ago, then the reason is different. You do not need to immediately create a scandal, you need to make sure of the betrayal and collect evidence.
Watch him. In what mood does he come home from work? Overtime work is exhausting, causes fatigue and irritation, but a mistress, on the contrary, cheers up, gives a boost of energy, and he will smile more often. Often men feel guilty and give gifts to their spouse for no reason. Not only behavior changes, but also the image - he changes his wardrobe, suddenly starts using perfume and styling his hair with gel.
Hiding a relationship with another woman is not easy. It is enough to look at his phone once and see the messages. If he does not leave the phone unattended or leaves the room to answer a “colleague”, it is worth being alert.
As a last resort, you can follow him after work. Stay near his work during the end of the service, and then see where he goes and who he meets. You can take several photos with your phone so that he cannot get away from answering.
When you know for sure that your husband comes home late because of his mistress, you can make a decision. Either you close your eyes to this, or present evidence and demand their separation, or leave the unfaithful spouse.
