Gamblers are master practitioners in cash extraction and twilling V term).
The Giggalo received 150k $ redundancy in Feb by early September gone. He put his petrol on my credit card, heaid his entertaining from joint funds and had a pension and a salary.
In the end it boiled down to him withdrawing from our joint bill account to take an OW to the Casino. WH was in GA and said it was 'boring'. I am in GAMANON, which is 12 stepping for loved ones of gamblers. I recommend that you attend GAMANON, there are behaviours gamblers do that are way beyond wayward that really send you spinning. Gamblers will not only gamble their money but yours too. So this 12 step program will give you RL support in a way no other will.
They may also have access to therapy resources specially for those affected by gamblers. The Giggalo almost destroyed me, and unknowingly I was enabling his behaviour by not setting proper boundaries.
It's a boundary, if he can't afford his car then he can't. There are consequences to driving without insurance.
Oh yes, being nice to you first is the sweet part of the sweet cycle thenot comes the sauce (asking outrageously) followed by the rage and devaluation. It's your resources he needs to gamble.
Please consider 12 steps.
