If your husband won money

[ifeeltheneedtheneedforspeed]

Would he tell you?
I'm talking in thousands. Or would he hide it from you?

Wow, this thread took quite a dramatic turn. How are you, OP? I'm so sorry, this must be a horrible shock.

Thank you for asking. I've told a friend and mum, both very shocked. Friend thinks I should separate whereas my mum has always gone for the easy life of not rocking the boat and puts it down to 'being a man'
I'm quite numb and quiet at the moment. Feeling down that this is how my life is turning out.

Been thinking about you this weekend, a friend has had a similar discovery although not as much money. He packed a bag and left while she was bathing the kids because he didnt want to talk about it She is heartbroken, but personally I hope he stays away as he is a shit in other ways too.

How's it going?

He's still at it, over £15,000 now. I don't know what to do.
I've tried talking about it in a non confrontational way but he just lies. He has £2,200 still in the 'wallet' online so he's going to continue playing for sure.

He would tell me and we would discuss what WE were going to do with it

When "his" money is all gone, what will happen do you think?

He's usually so tight with money which is why I'm having a hard time realising this is the same man. It doesn't add up to me

I'm so sorry to hear this OP. I know your savings are separate but do you know roughly how much he has? What happens when he burns through it?

The man you thought he was does not and has never existed.

Have you ever seen a poor bookie; no neither have I.

All you can do now is help you by protecting yourself and your child from his gambling addiction. You need to separate yourselves entirely now from this man before he drags you and you child down with him emotionally as well as financially. You cannot help him and besides which he does not want your help.
