Husband problems

I have read alot of the comments on this forum recently and I would like some advise on the problem I am having. I have been married for 2 years (living together for 6 years). My husband likes gambling and drinking. He tends to be ok during the week, except when he is playing golf, and then he only gets home very late and very drunk (usually). He also gets drunk and decides to go gambling where he only gets home the next day. I personally do not find this behaviour acceptable. We are also trying to have kids, and I do not know if this is such a good idea givin the circumstances. I would like to know how to deal with this as I have threatened divorce and moved out so many times it is getting ridiculous. Should I just quit this marriage and move on, or should I hang on and hope for change. He is always telling me how much he loves me , but his behaviour is stating the total opposite.

Getting drunk and gambling are expensive hobbies, damaging to himself and to his family. I would hesitate abou having kids with him till he cleans up his act and starts acting mature enough to be a father. Would he consider joining you in marriage counselling ? If no, it may be time to think of moving out, and looking for a man who can behave like a mature man
