My husband loves going to casinos - he gambles quite a lot. We enjoy a good standard of living - but he spends quite some money in casinos,

And recently, most of his time is spent there. My children and me feel neglected.

I tried so many times to talk to him, explained to him that what he was doing is wrong - but his reply was that i was stopping him doing his only hobby,

Please help me, what do i do? If this goes on, we will be left with no money!!!

Maybe the two of you can go together ( so you can monitor how much he spends ) or maybe just give him a set amount of money that he can use at the casino. I have seen to many marriages fail because of gambling. Good luck!

Hi there,
SOS u are dealing with a serious problems here.
If u don'do anything now, it may end to a real disaster. Being addicted to casinos is financially comparable to the addiction of heroine, plus it's legal so no restrictions.

I don't think she will be able to monitor her husband so easily. Apart of total confidence inside the couple, it is useless to try to monitor him by this way.
SOS, I don't know if it's possible in your country, but in mine u can "forbid yourself" to enter in a casino. That means u call the casino, tell them u want to be restricted at the entrance (in a clear moment of lucidity ) then casino will do the rest to stop you to gamble (or ur husband in that case). If they don't, they are responsible.
I dunno how they can do that. using ID I think.
Any suggestions???

I guess you should threaten him. Tell him that you would leave him if he would not stop and see how he reacts towards it.

What can you do in such situation is to talk to him, explain to him that he is jeopardizing his children's future, he does not seem to care for them or you, and if he will continue then you will have to leave him, say this and see his reaction, if this helps him to come to his sense then it would be nice but if not you will have to take help of relatives!
