Not just the men!
Quote From: skini2When my husband died suddenly at 58 - I found out he was a compulsive gambler! I knew he bought lottery tickets, but I had no idea, he had maxed out 10 credit cards! (He had a Post Office box for his credit card bills) I had to pay for his debts - $30,000! I think his guilty conscience contributed to his untimely death, as he knew eventually, I would find out about his addiction! I was very angry when I found out about his gambling, as we could have done things together with that money! He chose to throw it away, and had nothing to show for it! I have become very anti-gambling, as I know first hand how it can take over your life, and you wouldn't even notice it! I feel sorry for wives of gamblers, as it becomes their husband's mistress! Yes, anyone who is married needs to be aware of the finances and what their spouse is up to so they don't wind up in the position that you are in, as well as the first wife on the show. But this doesn't exclude women. Women have gambling problems also. It goes both ways.Good luck!
