The answer

Lying and establishing forbidden relationships with women are characteristics of heedlessness and disobedience to Allah. For a married man, these actions are even more reprehensible. The husband must repent sincerely from them, and do not forget to pray for his guidance and righteousness. The husband's transgression is one of the justifications for seeking a divorce, but one should not rush into seeking a divorce. Rather, it is better to be patient and strive to reform him, unless coexistence becomes impossible. The husband should not stir up problems with his wife over something that has passed.
