I don't want to involve his mother. That woman is too fragile. I don't want things that break her the more and increase her BP

Involve an older person that he respects. There is no perfect man out there. Mould the one you have to what you want. Please still give him a chance. When i got married my life was in shambles but today is a different story.. Be prayerful and encourage your husband with kind words. Its obvious you are smart so try and be the one in charge of the accounts and give him little for his miseleneous. I hope it works out for both of you

You have to ThankGod for Nairaland, else what will someone like me have in common with you.
Our paths wouldn't have ever crossed.
I will advice someone like you to stayput on Nairaland and benefit from the enormous knowledge we deposit here.pl
When people like you were asked to go to school and study what others had researched, you resorted to prayer houses.
Now it's showing!
Wake Up.

This is not God's grounds for divorce. It is only death and marital infidelity thank can permit divorce.

Why don't you sit him down and talk to him or you've done that and he refused to listen. Then take him to another person he respects and keep praying for him. That is better than divordivorce. Everything is not divorce.

That God is definitely senseless then.

I tell people that love and affection in marriage/relationships is only about 20%.
The other 80% requires you to make good use of your head, that thing between your ears. But no you won’t.
You saw all the signs before marriage, but you won’t use them, like you people will say, “love covers all things”. You must continue to love him with his excesses till death. Your family cautioned you, but you said all my friends are getting married and why no you. You have to endure it. Till death do you part

Would you take your own advice if you were in the same predicament? Better and worse is through hardship that life throws at you and not hardship that your partner brings.

People with addictions are very hard to help, by sticking around and supporting them you will actually be enabling them.

She has to raise her child, work and bring home the money because her husband will not give her a dime, and on top of that struggle you want her to counsel, love, and respect someone who is breaking her heart and undermining her every effort??
Has marriage become a death sentence?
Is it not meant to be sweet and to be enjoyed?
People are only human beings and life is hard enough already without putting unreasonable demands on people.

You dont have to divorce him.

Just make sure you makr enough money to take care of yourself and make sure you have the number of kids you can cater for by yourself.

Shebbi nah gambling, you will surprised that some men have more terrible addictions.

Gambling can still bring in millions if he is fortunate, people make a living through gambling (i dont support it tho) but please its not worth a divorce.

A man who wastes and squanders the money that should be used to take care of the household and raise the kids is of no value as a husband.

The only circumstance that I would advise her to stay with him is if he agrees to have her control the access to all his income and then she gives him monthly pocket money. That is the only way to handle a gambling addict.

Otherwise he is useless in her life!

That is why they are always looking for a working class lady who can bring to the table so they can continue gambling and spending their own money recklessly. You better dump his ass.

You don't need to go through all that stress of divorcing him because that will drain you mentally and physically except you plan to remarry which is not advisable as most of them are the same. So, just secretly get a place for yourself and unborn child and leave him without warning, before you lose your sanity.

When he's ready to leave the singlehood lifestyle and become a responsible husband, he can come for his family. Otherwise, forget about him. Life is too sweet to let one person keep you in sorrow all the days of your life.

Marriage is overhypped, especially in this generation of overgrown babies in men's skin.

Modified.

I'm ashamed of all the men attacking me for saying the truth. Anyways I'm not surprised. The truth is always bitter and a hard pill to swallow.

You want her to stay with a grown up man who lacks common sense to do the right thing just so she can answer married. What the heck do you men think you are?

I blame the women that hold some of you in high esteem; making you feel like something when in fact all that is left of the male folk is nothing but a bunch of lazy leeches.

My joy is that, there are still a few, and i mean, very few men who have sense.

OP
Don't listen to her ooo, seriously. If the only issue you have with your husband is gambling. Na small matter be that oo. We ve all tried a lot of things hoping they would be our big break, hoping na there we go hammer. You just need to sit him make him see reasons. There are lots of research around why gambling is never sustainable. You can check out the research by the Tokyo group. Where they did a steady permutations around making a sustainable income from betting. After few bets the betting groups limited their accounts and there was no regulators who dare speak up. Betting only favours the betting companies all the odds are stacked up against the consumers. Check out more reasons.. he should stop zazzoooing his hard earned funds.

For this aunty above me, would you rather make a little sacrifice and live your life happily or would you rather just avoid every obstacles thrown out at you and just get by life.

People just need to a little awakening to see things the way we do.

As soon as money enters his hand, he starts funding some online app and start gambling.
We got married last year Nov.
We have needs and plans we agreed to achieve before the end of March. Which a better accommodation is one of our first goal. Our present accommodation is not ok at all.
On my own part, I'm saving to meet up with our Target, but I discovered, he has nothing. He collected contributions last month, over 200k. All that money wasted. He can't account for it.
January salary has entered, he has started wasting it again.

I'm expecting him to provide 300k at the end of this month. So, that when I sum it with mine, we can have over 600k. Get a decent accommodation and invest the rest.
We need to plan, save for our baby, but his attitude with money is not encouraging me.
The truth is, my husband is stressing me for lack of accountability.

Acidosis:
I was going to ask the usual question here "why didn't you do your due diligence". But then I have discovered that the easiest thing to hide before marriage is addiction/habit. Anyone blaming you is just being unrealistic. You may never know whether your spouse is into drugs, a chronic gambler, a porn addict, or a bisexual. It takes only an app to become a chronic gambler these days. Addictions are mostly things people do in the secret, when they're alone, so how on earth are you going to find out whether your man gambles with money?

The compatibility metric is even useless when it comes to certain issues. For example, no chronic gambler wants to marry another chronic gambler, so chronic gamblers seeking marriage would most likely hide/fake financial discipline or "investments" just to lure a spouse who's probably carried away with money, level of education, good family, or good looks. It's a complex issue.

To the OP, I would only be lying if I tell you that I have a solution. I don't have any. On one hand, I can't advise my sister to remain with a chronic gambler. On the other hand, I think it is too early to have this divorce talks. I mean, your marriage is barely 4 month old. But I hope you find a way around your issues. Maybe it's time to activate your conflict resolution plan. A resolution plan may include "a very good family", "an entity he respects so well, e.g. spiritual fathers", etc. If he has none, then your divorce may be faster than you envisaged.


Gambling is a terrible addiction because any money that enters his hand na straight to bet app

Nigeria has nothing in place to help problem gamblers

And the best way to kill an addiction (erase all access to it) cannot work

They have placed bet joints everywhere you look. There is bet spam for multiple browser links.
Even Nairaland is full of scummy bet agents.

A man would have to go up a mountain with no network to leave all gambling attractions behind.

There is quite possibly much worse down the road, fraud, theft, loan sharks.

We are in very big trouble with gambling

Gambling is bad but there are people who have changed their lives positively through gambling or is lottery not a form of gambling?

Furthermore, marriage is not like a dating affair where you can just leave especially when kids are involved.

Please stop talking crap!

If you are using a small amount you can afford to lose to bet, it is not that bad.

If you are betting a significant amount of your income hoping to hit it big and "change your life" via gambling or lottery, you are either:

(a) sick in the head (aka addict) or (b) sick in the head (aka reetarded)

b is even worse when you justify your stuuupid actions with "there are people who have changed their lives positively through gambling".

My Generation and divorce, they want to marry but don't want to stay married. Did you guys go through counselling? Our fathers played pool and our mothers managed them. My dear it's too early to talk about divorce. Seek help for husband, get a counselor, what about the elders? You can help him get out of that addiction, moreover that is what marriage is all about. I wish you well in your union,one day you'll use this challenge to counsel someone in same situation. God bless you

Long courtship is always the best thing before marriage because it gives you the crucial opportunity to really know who you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Try counseling and if it doesn't help, then go ahead and divorce that deadbeat of a husband.

Truthfully, it's too early to throw in the towel, divorce is awful; unless you know somethings that you cannot deal with for the rest of your life and you're certain he's never gonna change. If you've only been married for few months,I'm assuming you're in Nigeria ask a lawyer if you can annual it instead of a divorce. Annulment is different, your plate is wiped clean and it never shows you've ever been married. I'm not sure about naija, but ask a lawyer. But honesty 4 months is just too short for anyone not to endure and throw in the towel; but I know it might hurt you so bad to wanna up so soon, it's your call at the end of the day because only you will live your own life. All the best.

Annulment of marriage. I learnt new thing.

Don't give her such weak advise and pushing rubbish beliefs that would further destroy her life.

I don't know where you people get this mentality/"wisdom" that gambling (especially via betting) is a means to riches.

The only gambling where you have a fair chance is the one you bet with other people. E.g. poker, card games etc.

But Bet9ja and co? ..................... Don't get me started.
