Her Husband Gambled Away Their Vacation Money On A Guys Night Out
Five years ago, this 30-year-old woman married her 33-year-old husband, and they have two children together, who are six and four.
Throughout the last year, she and her husband have been organizing a vacation for their family to go on, and it was intended to be a remarkable opportunity for them all.
She wanted this to be a way for them to make wonderful memories while taking time out from the hecticness of their daily lives.
She and her husband have had to cut back on a few things in order to get the money together to begin saving for their trip.
One weekend ago, her husband attended a guys night out, and he’s not much of a partier or a drinker, so she didn’t believe she had anything to worry about.
But her husband arrived home pretty late, and he was obviously drunk and behaving in a strange way. The following morning, she questioned her husband about how his night had gone, and he confessed that his friends got him to a casino, and he participated in some gambling.
“What he told me next absolutely floored me. He said he was so drunk that he got caught up in the moment and lost all the money we’d saved for the vacation. Every last cent is gone,” she explained.
“I didn’t even know how to respond. He kept apologizing, saying he didn’t mean for it to happen and that he was just drunk and made a stupid mistake.”
“He promised to make it up to me and the kids, but I’m beyond angry. This wasn’t just a random mistake. This was literally our hard-earned money that we’d planned to use to create memories for our family.”

She demanded to know why her husband kept on going, blowing all their vacation money, and he responded that he figured he would be able to win the money he lost back if he continued on.
That only served to make her even more furious. Her husband proved to her in the moment that he was careless and impulsive.
She’s left wondering how on earth she should begin to move forward after such a massive betrayal.
“Part of me wants to forgive him because I know he’s genuinely sorry, but another part of me feels like this is a major breach of trust,” she added.
“What if it happens again? How do I know he won’t put our finances at risk in the future?”
