Ladymaceral:Don't give him. He'll just mismanage it again, or pay the loan and take a much bigger one. Compulsive gamblers like that need to hit rock bottom before they can realise the extent of their problems and change for good. 32 Likes 3 Shares |

Betting is a very bad addiction and hard to stop unless you're serious and determined, if you think I'm lying ask @child of doom. And the funny thing about betting is that, even when you win the urge will be there for you to stake your winnings as well. And the way i am seeing it, your husband is not only irresponsible but also greedy. Because i don't know why someone will bet till he becomes a debtor. I dislike people who owe for no just reason, i hate irresponsibility. Our elders would say "Never borrow what you can not pay back and never borrow when you have no means to pay back". Let me tell you bluntly, it'll be unwise to give your husband that money because that man will owe even more to come... I'll advise you to just leave him, let him learn the hard way. Let him suffer what he did. He deserves it, so that he will have sense cos this type of folly needs tough hands. Meanwhile, if you know someone that you can rely on to advise him, i'd say you act fast cos that man will soon start selling your things to bet . As our Ancestors would say "If as a man, you don't bet or womanize then you don't know what God has done for you". 12 Likes |

. I'm so sad because many of my family people will also get these messages. Don't pay the loan and don't feel bad about anything. Any member of your family that feels sad or whatever about the message they will receive should help pay the loan or better mind their business. To help your husband pay the loan will facilitate him to borrow more and squander it on same betting. Allow him to sort his loan. Just be buying him two bottles of beer from your money every evening to help reduce his thinking. 14 Likes |

If your husband didn't borrow to finance something important, other than what you mentioned (Bet9ja), please leave him to his fate. He's a chronic borrower as you stated and will still borrow more even after You've bailed him out. 7 Likes |

You advised him earlier and he didn’t adhere to your advice. Let him face the consequences of his actions, don’t get involve. Just tell him to take it easy, say everything will be fine last last. 7 Likes |

Hmm. I don't think in the case of loan apps - leaving your husband until he learns his lesson will work. The debt will continue to compile and God help you both that it doesn't get to the point that you both can't handle. Since he at the moment is sober, I advice you talk sense to him this one last time. Let him know that you will clear the debt but turn a deaf ears when such arises again. Make him give you his words in the presence of an elder he holds in esteem. 1 Like 1 Share |

Do people actually become rich from betting here in Nigeria? Why then do people borrow to fund a betting lifestyle? Someone should please explain the logic to me |

If you know that he plays bet9ja then he definitely shares winnings with you.

The comments aboue deters the marital vow you made to him. You both have become one. So do to him as yourself. Truth is no one is perfect and you have your bad sides too. Those advicing you to leaue him may be enduring greater ones at home and yet cover the shame in the family. Couer up the shame and speak nonsense out of him. You can simply help him pay and tell him you borrowed the money to couer his shame and the increasing interest. Then you keep disturbing him of the money euerytime to remind him he has debt on ground. As simple as that 1 Like 2 Shares |

He is a compulsive gambler as earlier mentioned, you clearing his debts would motivate him more to gamble as he would be rationalizing the gambling with the talk of paying you back. . Face front. 2 Likes

You said he doesn't give you money and you don't ask him for..So; <<If u have kids, who pays their school fees? << Who pays for rent And utilities? << Groceries..., How do both of you navigate it if u don't ask him money and he doesn't ask you? << Is he the one taking care of those bills using those apps and u mistook it that he was gambling money away due to his limited resources? << Can you clarify those points so that people can advise u accordingly... Instead of advising based on limited information.. <<These whole thing is about money matters and it has messed up a lot of relationships.. 1 Like |

Re: . by Nobody: 8:36pm On Jul 24, 2022 |
Richy4:I pay all the bills including our son's school fees. The last time, I kept mute until they drove him from school for school fees default two days to his birthday, yet my husband never care. He asked me to go to the school and beg them till month end, the following day I made the payment and told him I borrowed it from my mom. Till today, he refused to refund. I eventually struggle to pay for everything in this house. While he keeps giving excuses. I know he need serious help, but I can't figure out what really happened to this life that is so broken like this. Several times, I've told him about divorce, but he kept on begging. I'm just confused. 1 Like |

Ladymaceral:A wife is not a savior nor a messiah to her husband so perish the thought that you can change your husband for good. it is only your husband that can do that when he is ready for that to happen to him. If you want to help pay off his debt, then be sure to get a signed agreement from him stating that he will pay you back for it. Paying off his gambling debt amounts to enabling his habit so, you should at least get something in writing to make certain all those who would have been affected - the many of my family people will also get these messages - understand that you at least tried as much to help get him free from the burden he placed on himself. And be sure to let him know that you intend to send a copy of the notarized document to all those who would have been affected in some way, so they are aware of how deep the problem is and would have gotten had you not stepped in on his behalf. Shame isn't always a bad thing... 1 Like 1 Share |

Ladymaceral: Stand by him. He needs your help even though he is stubborn. Never listen to women most especially who will tell u to leave your husband or have u forgotten, u said " for better or worse till death do u part". Besides, if u were d 1 in problem and your husband were d 1 who could help u, would he think multiple times or advertise the matter b4 jumping in to save u Probably he would. But as 4 u, do d right thing. U are also saving yourself. |

Ladymaceral:@ bold, anytime you were able to figure out the root cause of the matter, that will be the beginning of your happy marriage... It's unfortunate he wasn't coming out clean.. and u don't even know where to start from to help.. if u bail him out of this situation, how such are u that he won't incur additional debt?... Until you know where the money is been channeled to, he will keep on expecting U for help... I wish Nigerian couple therapists have the capacity to deal with this kind of issue.. it has not escalated to bigger problem yet.. it's still on the early stage... Coming out clean with honesty on what he is struggling with, Intervention from family and friends and therapy would have helped in this case... Good luck dear.. it's not gonna be easy..

Ladymaceral:You've already become an enabler to his habit then. You forgot to mention this in your OP. I take back my previous advice and suggest instead you call a family meeting and let all those who would otherwise be shamed by his acts know exactly what the situation already is, so you all can come together to find a way to either pay off his debt and/or maybe send him to prison where he can cool off for some time. Your marriage is no longer a marriage but a joke and you shouldn't have to carry it all on your head while also working to hide what is his shame, not yours. Allow his family and friends, all those he is probably hiding this secret from, in on it so they can realize the person he is abeg. Your children, if old enough, also probably know of their father's habits - children are not as dumb as people like to think - so, your focus should be primarily on keeping them away from the toxic situation that is their dad. That alone should be enough of a job to keep you busy and not thinking of acting as savior or messiah to a grown arse man who refuses to know himself. 4 Likes |

Re: . by blaquebelle: 11:33pm On Jul 24, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: The debt is going to keep accumulating and eventually hinder household activities. She also won't be excluded from any embarrassment or name calling, she would feel even worse if she really loves him. That's why it's important who you marry. Their good translates to your good and so also their bad times. |

blaquebelle:My very worry is, will it stop him from wasting money and putting us on poverty lane? Will I be the only one sourcing for money for general upkeep and also money to repay debt? Will this sacrifice change him? |
