what can I do about my husband’s gambling?
marbear asked:
My hubby is in Tenn. this week for training for work. Well his training only takes like 3 hours a day and the rest of the day they get to do whatever. Well all week he’s spent from the time they are done in class till midnite at a casino…and of course gambling w/ OUR money. I told him I don’t really approve of him going for the third time after he lost the night before but he just told me to get over and and not tell him what to do. Well that hurt me b/c its my money too and last night we got into a HUGE fight about it. I’ve never grown up around that and I don’t mind him going once in a while but seriously, he’s in another state w/ tons of stuff to do and he decided to sit around a table and play w/ our money and loose? I don’t want to be a bad wife and say he can’t go, but I don’t want to see him there anymore. What kind of compromise can we come to thats reasonable?
It also makes me mad b/c he was looking up things to do there before he left and he scrapped all those ideas to gamble and he intends on going back for the next two nights. I honestly don’t think I can handle him being there again and I told him if thats what he wants to do then not to come home. I don’t want gambling to come before our marriage and it seems like it has in a matter since he got there. He calls once from a crowed casino lobby for about 2 seconds. I dont know what to do. I need my normal husband back. something there has gotten to him and I hate it.
