[quote]It seems like your husband is neglecting the rights of his near ones (but Allah knows best). You should inform him that you have more rights on him than other unknown people he goes out with/to, and he is neglecting his duties at home.

In this hadith from Sahih Bukhari, the prophet is advising against neglecting the rights of your spouse by doing excessive worship:

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 196:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As:

Allah's Apostle said to me, "O 'Abdullah! Have I not been informed that you fast during the day and offer prayers all the night." 'Abdullah replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Don't do that; fast for few days and then give it up for few days, offer prayers and also sleep at night, as your body has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you. And it is sufficient for you to fast three days in a month, as the reward of a good deed is multiplied ten times, so it will be like fasting throughout the year." I insisted (on fasting) and so I was given a hard instruction. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have power." The Prophet said, "Fast like the fasting of the Prophet David and do not fast more than that." I said, "How was the fasting of the Prophet of Allah, David?" He said, "Half of the year," (i.e. he used to fast on every alternate day).

You can find other hadith that are more relevant to your situation if you look or ask someone, I know there are some, but I cannot find them now.[/quote]
