I believe the answer is:

shame

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'humiliation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'husband implicated in constant' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'implicated' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'in constant' becomes 'same' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'h' going inside 'same' is 'SHAME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shame that I've seen before include "Disgrace, intense regret" , "disgraceful" , "Feeling of humiliation" , "Ignomony" , "Humiliation; dishonour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
