Can be done. First act stupid by always anticipating the behavior of the someone one loves. The likely reaction from loved ones is refraining from a repeat of the behavior.
Sometimes, it is better to talk of similar situation to show the mistake or funny side to point out gently the habit of believing what one wishes to believe. This may be a stubborn streak in the wife, usually influenced by superstitions or peers' influence.
The safer way is more communications through joint activities and even jokes. Majority's opinion and greater awareness reduce the chance for scolding. No more scolding needed, more titillation instead.

LOVINGLY, looking said person straight in the eye...speaking softly....we all make mistakes. This may sound a bit far out however, my ex-husband left to go get coffee at a 7-11 and I didn't see him for a day and a half..... he had been gambling, when he showed up I knew he had been awake playing cards. I was simply glad to see him back and safe tho I had had an idea what he was up to and could't stop him.....when he pulled in, I walked out to greeet him...and said this:
"Look...you look extremely tired and you have already obviously beaten yourself up enough... the kids are at the sitter, the bed is ready and pulled down for you....all is quiet ....I know you need your rest and I love you..."~ I never one time asked what he had lost....it was a moot point at that point. he looked at me and I added as his eyes fillled w/ tears....I said, "When you awaken, perhaps we can go get a bite to eat...and if you would prefer, we can order in...." I smiled looking at this person who was having a down moment, he choked out the words..."You're the best...." then hugged me....I replied.."Don't you forget it!".... he never forgot this. Kindness is always the quickest way to communicate with someone in crisis. As I have Never made a mistake in my own life? noooooooooooo.....away he went to bed. I was greatful he was alright. He got his needed rest and upon waking, I had gone out and got him a couple of gifts wrapped and showing that "There is NO place like home..." with a rose on the bed.
We didn't discuss much about the gambling, it was not that much...he was compulsive ..and I was deeply aware of it......hence...to reason softly...NOT rewarding the individual...that was NOT my intent...it was out of love..and he KNEW it. I LISTENED.....we eneded up renting a couple of movies, ordered a pizza & ended up having a great evening. I did NOT complain....."We begin froim NOW " is what I was thinking.
Admonishment or restrictive with holding of affection is never a good idea,......as water seeks its own level....so do we...metaphorically.
Kindness, caring,listening,the better part of conversation and simply being a confidante I have found is what is the most important thing. perhaps you would have handled my situation differently...but I shall say tho now divorced......we are still on terms that most would find amazing.
I hope I got my point across...not knowing the intricacies of your situation it is a shot in the dark..tho..it is never a good idea to reprimand someone already in pain.
The keyword is compassion....it is how I would want to be treated...and so it goes.......Humanity goes a long way.......
