How do you explain losing your payday at the casino?

[LeyMonte]

As a man, your family needs must be your utmost priority before anything else. If that responsibility falls short, then you are not worthy to be called the head of the house because you have failed to live up to expectations and responsibility, not to mention when it happens that you do nothing but gamble away your paycheck with nothing to show for it.

If you must gamble, you must or should be able to separate your family's needs first, which should be a non-negotiable before anything else can follow, because the family should come first in anything that has to do with the settlement of needs and the rest of the others.

You have put forward very realistic words because at the end of the day, no matter what we do, a man's family is his main priority. We men constantly work hard to keep our family well. Our hard work is only worthwhile when we see that all the needs of my family are being met with the remuneration that we are getting due to this hard work. If after keeping the family well and fulfilling all the needs of the family, if there is money to play casino games, then we should use that to play casino games.

Moreover, if we have to struggle to meet the needs of the family, then it is not right to think about playing games for that. If we can play some games while keeping the family well, then this will keep us mentally well.

Now you’re heading home broke, and as a husband and father, how do you even explain that to your wife waiting at home with your kids?

Would you be honest, or would you make an excuse?

What excuses can there be here? You have to admit that in this case, even though you are an adult, you are acting like a child or teenager. An adult realizes that they spend their time working and in return receive money, which they use to cover their monthly expenses (and often their family's expenses as well). This situation describes a clearly short-sighted person. If this person, in such a situation, continues to lie to his wife, then there is no point in him staying in the family. Either admit your mistake and correct it (after all, many people can slip up), or admit to yourself that you are an irresponsible person and incapable of supporting a family.

I would immediately borrow the money from someone so my wife wouldn’t suspect I was gambling and so I could keep it a secret. If she found out I was still gambling, she would probably leave me unless I truly quit. Luckily, when I blew up my account from gambling it happened before I was married, so I still had some savings to live on. Now that I’m married, I need to be responsible and only use a small portion of my salary.

Picture this...  it’s payday, you’re married with kids, and your wife’s at home taking care of everything. You’re just planning to give her the money, but your office mates invite you for a few drinks, you know, the usual payday night out.

But after a few bottles everyone’s looking for more fun so you all end up at the casino, you play a bit, lose a little, try to win it back… and before you know it, your whole salary’s gone.

I can't imagine because this is not a good action considering that the children and wife have been waiting for something they have wanted for a long time. Hopefully I won't experience this when I'm married.

Here there is nothing I can say about the story you told me to imagine because I have never experienced it and am trying not to have it happen.
If you have to tell it, maybe it won't be an honest answer but an answer with contrived reasons. But that's so evil.

This is quite a hard one. Honestly, lying may save a time of peace, though soon may cause damage to trust. It is more preferred to accept what may have happened, accept responsibility, and bear the consequences. It may hurt, yet sincerely gives room for rebuilding. Excuse making will just delay the fallout and make things get worse if the truth comes out eventually.

There are some types of foolish mistake that somebody will make that it is better for him to keep to himself atleast for the time being, going home to tell your wife who is waiting for money that you blew it all in gambling will most likely blow your roof. You can tell her what actually happened on a day that you have money in your pocket, probably you have raised money and given her for upkeep. Learn from your mistakes and never repeat it or better learn from other people's mistake and never make it. Gambling is addictive and if you don't have self control it will be difficult to gamble responsibly.

Starting from drinking makes the mind short, Stupid why not set aside a little money from the salary you have to gamble, if it is applied to seek pleasure from gambling then it will be said to be a normal thing, but if the salary money you have is suddenly gone it will be a big disaster because there is no money at all that can be brought home to the children and wife at home. Luckily I have never experienced an incident like that, but some of my colleagues have been frustrated because they lost gambling by spending all their monthly salaries.

There are many people who, after receiving their salary after the end of the month, lose their money by drinking alcohol and gambling on marriage. Because of excessive drinking, they lose all their money by gambling, due to which they have to borrow money from others for the whole month. Again, some people get involved in various criminal activities to manage their family when they lose money by gambling and become disoriented.

i wish you will never expericed it bro,

i think its not easy if someone already addicted to gamble to not using money after payday, but as far as they are have another income it will be save if gamble with responsible. People who never gamble with all of their money will not lying about their income. But, if already become an addicted gambler before married and they are unable to control him self, I believe they will lying to their wife. let say, they will reduce his income before giving it to his wife. for example, their real income $100 per week, they maybe telling their wife he only have $80 or even less, just because he wants to gamble every weeks.

I will wake up from my imagination and face the reality that such is a situation anyone should never wish to find himself in. imagine that such situation ever plays out and that you managed to explain things to your wife and she understands you perfectly well, what then now happens to the family for that month? when it is time to eat you expect that they will eat your excuses o what?

As a man that is the head of the home, you have the obligation to be responsible enough to not let certain things like this happen, if it ever happen, you have to be ready to inconvenient yourself just so you can sort things out in whatever way possible.

There is no bad in playing games if one wants to play games. As a matter of fact, some men play games because it gives them relaxation and that fun they seek for outside of partying and drinking. However, the truth is that if one must gamble, then they must first of all make sure their family needs are catered for before anything as that is the first thing a man should have at the back of their mind whenever it payday so that they don't recklessly spend their pay unaccounted for.

As for those who struggle to meet up just like you have said, it would not be too feasible for them to gamble because they wouldn't have enough for their families and thus this is even why men with such burden gamble hoping to get wins or profits from their game so they could add up to make sure their family needs are met but some ends up losing everything against their plans and they get frustrated.

People who literally lose their payday at the casino are people who don't know the essence of gambling responsibly.I've heard of scenarios like this and even the worst ones,just like a student using he's school fees to gamble with the aim of having an extra money attach to the one he was supposed to use in payment of he's school fees,many uneducated gamblers just take huge risk just because they're gambling, though gambling is defined as risking something valuables for an uncertain outcome,most people risks are uncalculated ones.If I were in he's shoes which I know I wouldn't be, I'll tell my wife the truth and look for a way forward in providing for the family.

Of course I'll be honest, that's a major mistake that could affect the future of my family. So in order to avoid that mistake again then be honest and tell everything so they can influence you good morals because it's not very ethical to use your salary at gambling. And first of all, it's very dumb tbh, get influence by your co-workers when you're already a family man, that's very irresponsible tbh and I'm sure if she's a girlfriend of yours, she will definitely dump you, no one wants that kind of attitude. Also think about your kids, they're just small and you made them, then you need to give them a wonderful life and be responsible about it. The no. 1 rule here is don't ever use a money that came from your salary, savings and of course borrowed money in gambling. You should have at least funds for entertainment and that money is the one should be used.

[NurseHub]

This is really a great loss, after a long wait for the payday and having long days to come before another payday. It's a very difficult situation and should be handled with wisdom. I don't think it's easy to spill the tea immediately, like the night of your loss. You should take a deep breath and relax your mind, because you will have a lot to explain, and you will need more energy for the patience for the things you will hear from her because it's going to be a long month for your family. It's not nice or advisable to hide it, because it will lead to another mistake. But my question is this? Why don't you place a target? Why doesn't this gambler gamble with discipline? As a gambler you should know when to stop, trying to win your loss will only cause you more loss. Don't gamble directly from your account, it will ruin you. And as a man, it's unwise to think you owe your wife no explanations in this situation. You should explain and find a solution together  too.

I know it's possible, but for this to happen to someone it shows how irresponsible he is. For someone who knows quite well that he's got some responsibility to take care of at home, I see no reason why he would want to go out in first place after recieving his pay. We know how sometimes it is when you hang out with friends, you may try to avoid such thing but don't want to bring your self down and just give it a few try. Unfortunately for you, it would end in losses. You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose, so it makes no sense gambling with your hard earned money when you still have bills to cover up and family to take care of..

[Victorybit1]

I don't think i can ever get into such a messy situation because I know that I have responsibilities to take care of. Its a selfish thing to give into my urge to gamble and loss my earnings for the month knowing that people are depending on me, I wonder why people would intentionally put themselves in such depression. Avoid things that can put you in a precarious situations, this is one of those things
