DH had a PPI repayment into his account two weeks ago - just over 1.5k. So we got a new cooker; a few other bits and pieces. Paid some bills and gave our DSs a ton each.
Last night an unexpected bill came in via email. I asked if the PPI would cover it for now. He's got nothing left when there should be over £700. I asked where it had gone and his immediate response was 'I didn't gamble it'. Eh!? Who mentioned gambling? The thought actually never crossed my mind.
Little bit of squeaking later, and him with lying eyes on all the way, I got his account and password out of him - he promised that he'd only 'tried to log on'. I constructed a 'self imposed' five year ban from all casinos right in front of him.
Went to work today still cross. Money is gone, lying is proved, as I looked into his internet history, ban is imposed. Not a thing has been mentioned since I got home.
We're living on just my part time income as he's not fit to work following illness. The money was supposed to see us warm through the winter. He's not a gambler in day to day terms but fancies himself as a bit of a hustler.
Should I torture him with sarcastic digs to eternal hell, have it out once and for all or just drop it?
