Vegas Vacation Advice Shhh By Chare'... How To Fix Embarrassing Trip Memoirs

Dear Chare'

My husband of nine years gambled our life savings in a frivolous weekend in Vegas. I have heard stories like this in the past and I’m beside myself coping with the reality that such a tragic and selfish thing could happen to our family. My friends and even my mother clearly see this as grounds for divorce, but with no money left I could not afford a lawyer! I still love my husband and just wish there was some way out of this nightmare, please help!

Dear O D

A marriage is to be considered the strongest union that two adults can share in life. In a perfect world, matters of money, particularly the management of savings and investment accounts should be monitored closely on both ends.Sadly your husband appointed himself as “gate keeper” regarding withdraws from your savings and clearly did not consider a responsible approach in the allowable spending budget for Vegas, which naturally could include gambling and other forms of popular entertainment.

It is generally not a bright idea to use hard earned money from a life savings
towards a fabulous vacation! The greater issue arises when an avid gambler,
stops having fun and has lost all sense of reality to self, family and in this
case the bond of marriage. The abuse and misuse of gambling, rather it be
slots or numerous available table games lining the floors of every casino
around the world can be intoxicating to one whom has little resistance!

You did not say if you were present during this “high roller” vacation? A
woman’s distraction can be used in many ways to steer her husband away
from the tables and towards more wholesome Vegas spending such as the
many exciting shows, eateries & shopping on the strip! To begin your road
to recovery, first talk with your man when you have calmed your nerves!
Educate him on services available to overcome his addiction. There
are pamphlets located throughout every casino that provide valuable contact

numbers that link to caring & trained counselors who specialize in this
type of addiction. If you still love your husband your marriage can get
through this! Brainstorm over any and all possible access to other funds.
Turn to your friends & family for support. Have a fundraiser to raise money
for immediate bills. Agree to only go on vacations together in the future as
a form of credibility. Find a way to forgive this man and remember, “What
happened in Vegas simply must stay there”
