Partner hasn’t paid our holiday and now cancelled …would you be angry ?

[inkyspells]

We had a holiday to Mexico booked.
It cost £3,900
Every month i have been transferring him £300 for 6 months for my half.
He has told me today its been cancelled as he only paid the £500 deposit
He said he was borrowing in to the money and was going to pay it back but before he knew it he had to find the £3,400 and could only pay £2,000 off it so Tui have cancelled it.

Im so angry
He’s told me he will just book it last minute in June and we can still okay.
He said from next month he’s putting away £1,000
Im so mad

Would I be sad my partner had stolen my money by taking it under false pretence? Yes. Yes I would

So he's 'only' raised £2000 he said? In that case he can give you all your money back immediately then, can't he? (Doubt it).

Run (and go to small claims).

Get the feck out of dodge would be my advice.

So he’s a liar and a thief who has spunked your money over to Paddy Power and you’re wondering if you should be angry???

Raise your bar out of the gutter and stop wasting v your life on a lying gambling thief who treats you like a cashpoint

Would I be angry?? I’d be fucking furious.

He’s lied to you, stolen your money, been deceitful, let you think the holiday was going ahead and he was saving…

he needs to repay you the £1800 ASAP.

i wouldn’t be able to trust him again.

I'd be binning him whats he been doing with your money and how come you never paid it through the tui app

I’d call that fraud.

Indeed.

A, plenty of people can afford 4k and more for a holiday
B, no white people in Mexico? Huh?!

Almost as strange as OPs constant whinging about her useless gambling addict partner that she still hasn’t dumped

So basically he’s stolen your money to spend on his debts or other stuff?

Get legal advice and take him to the Small Claims Court immediately. Do you have proof you gave him that money?

So, ask yourself, why in all that is holy if he is a gambling addict would you decide to send £500 a month?

You couldn't write this

How do you know that?. He's a gambler...

Do you know anything about being in a miserable controlling relationship?

Still no reply then @inkyspells

Its not still there because he's gambled it all away. This is like the 3rd post this user has made about her partner being horrible with money. In her previous posts goes into detail about his horrific gambling addiction losing thousands of pounds in one month one time. Hounds her for more money for his betting account every single day apparently.

What i can't understand is why she gave him more money, knowing he has a gambling addiction, and seems to believe he is going to pay her back this time. Im going to guess she is simply being financially abused by this man, and needs to leave, as everyone has said already.

For several months! It's absolute insanity. He'd only have to relapse once for the whole lot to be gone. This was 100% foreseeable. OP really needs to read up on gambling addiction (if this is even real) and then decide if it's worth it to stay with him.

Where you have the strength to post on mums net that you've agreed to a £3,900 holiday but not to not agree to it in the first place?

Sorry but I just don't understand how you agree to this in the first place. It doesn't make sense.

Better to go alone than badly accompanied as they say

Yep.
OP you knew he was a gambling addict.
You still transferred him all this money, which was foolish.
As you don't want to leave him, you should have organised paying for the holiday yourself.

Wouldn't work in my marriage stealing money sent to you for a specific purpose not for 1 month but for 6...I would never trust my dh over anything if this was me

So he’s a thief??? Get rid

This is utterly shocking for anyone to do, let alone your partner. I'm so sorry that this has happened OP. I'm flummoxed.

Respectfully OP stop posting nonsense questions and do something about your situation. You are with a serial gambler who can not/ will not stop and hounds you to finance his affliction.
My disbelief is you have been knowingly funding his habit and are now supposedly surprised.
Stop posting and concentrate on finding a way out, you deserve a better life but you must claim it. It’s not a holiday you need.

Hes been stealing from you for 6months!!!!

@inkyspellsyou never answer any comments. Would I be angry ?
Of course, and I’d also be leaving asap.
