Okay... me and my husband just got married about 2 mths ago. Well I knew when we got married that he like to bet on football games, but I guess I didnt' know how much he like to bet. He owes this guy like almost 600 dollars what should I do? He doesn't want to stop and I can't afford for him to continue like this!

Become a Bookie and make some money off of him that way it never really leaves your bank account

Obviously you didn't do your research. If it were me, when I became aware of his betting, I would have to find out to what extent BEFORE the wedding. Now that you are here, you need to look at this realistically...this may get worse. If you are not willing to deal with "worse," cut your losses and get out. If you have the patience and wear-with-all to suffer the financial crunch that may come with this, stick it out for awhile. At this stage, you only need an annulment. But if you stay too long, you'll have to go thru a full blown divorce. So, it boils down to how much you think you can stand. If you were my daughter, I would advise you to get out now. If in a couple of years down the line, you all are still in touch and he's kicked the habit, you and him can try it again (if the feelings are still there). But you will probably have met someone much better by then.

It is time to make or keep your money separate from his otherwise it could be gambled on too without a concern for food or the household bills. It sounds like he has a serious gambling addiction. Gamblers tend to hide the seriousness of their addiction at times from both family and friends. I recommend him getting involved with Gamblers Anonymous. I also recommend marriage counseling to help work through the issues.

He has a serious gambling problem and he needs to get help before it gets out of hand. Gambling can be right up there with alcohol and drugs. Don't take this lightly. Intervene now before it's too late!!

make a stand on it - if you can't afford it and he's not willing to stop it will only get worse. If he can't stay within budge then he has to stop. There can be no compromise on this. Are you willing to be ruined financially?

Get rid of him quick. FAST. He will ruin your life, put you in debt so far you can't even see light, and lie, lie, lie. Run for your life. Sorry to be so blunt, but been there, doing that and you need to go. Get an annulment. (sp?) You are right to be concerned.

make sure you don't co-mingle money and keep yours to your self, otherwise you will be supplementing his addiction. Secondly, he needs some help as it sounds like he has a gambling problem and should seek PROFESSIONAL help.

if it gets any worse, tell him to choose between you and gambling. Suggest a gamblers rehab group and tell him you'll go with him and stuff.
