to ask for the money back

[kokolp]

I sent DP round to drop some stuff at my brothers last night. He stayed and talked for a while, they then decided to play cards and DP in his twattiness then gambled £200 on a card game which he lost. We needed that money and can't afford to be without it, I'm not sure how I'm going to pay for the food shop tomorrow now. I know DP was a cunt and fortunately has gone out before I strangle him. AIBU to ask my brother to give it back because we can't do without it.

Glad its worked out for you but I'd keep a very close eye on him in the future

OP in your shoes i would be sitting down with DP and telling him that you want him to tell you in complete honesty about how much he has gambled. and really accept nothing less than complete honesty. because if you accept vague answers and "i can't remember" then he will have gotten away with lying and gam,bling and will have learned nothing from this. you need to make it clear to him that he has a problem and it is to stop now. if it was me i would be telling him that our relationship was balancing on whetehr he agreed to never gamble again.
