He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet

[Fivestar4everMVP]

  Hi guys and ladies, here comes a very sad and heart-breaking story (true life confession) of a young lady who was contributing money (saving money) together with her husband-to-be (fiancée) in preparation for their wedding. The story in quote ..

My fiancee and I have been making arrangements for wedding, we are both contributing (saving) money because i know about his financial condition, in fact, i will say that i have contributed to about 60% of the total money in our savings, just for him to use nearly all the 5 million naira (approximately $5000) we saved to play betting and when i asked him about it, he said he was trying not to put all the wedding burden on me, that he thought he would be able to double the money.

I am really speechless and confused, and i think it's best for me to call the wedding off, what will i even tell people that already know about our wedding plans? this is the most disgraceful thing that has ever happened to me.

Even though i don't know this young lady in question personally, i felt true pity for her after coming across and reading her confession, i know how important weddings are to women and for the fact that she herself joined the man in saving, and even contributed about 60% of the entire funds they managed to save, shows or showed how committed she was to see that their wedding takes place, but unfortunately, the man gambled the money away, what could be more heart breaking than this?

I also feel sorry for the lady but life goes on. If she called off the wedding, life goes on.

But I want to ask a question. The lady only called off the wedding and continue with the man or she also broke up with the man? The finance may not be a gambler but just want to try his luck, but that is stupidity.

I have seen something like this before but I did not know who contributed the money. Men like some risky. Some of them were luck but some were not lucky.

This is the more reason why addiction to gambling is very bad, gamble as you can be able to endure and don't gamble because you want to meet up a target as you might end up running into more loses and may go broke. Gamble with your what belongs to you and don't gamble with other people's funds just because you feel you can double the money as gambling is an uncertainty. You may win or you may not win therefore focusing all energy is gambling is a bad habit. Now look at the shame this man has brought to himself all because of reckless decision.

Gambling, though we gamble in other to make positive results (win) but more also we shouldn't take it as a habit like our life is dependent on it. It should be for fun even while we seek to win.

I want to only talk about the comic part although for many people there is nothing comic in here,yet the lady didn't she knew that her fiance was a gambler and out of a gambler what can you expect when the hardest form of addiction hits you,you will find any remote possibility to get money to bet and to feed your burning desire to gamble.

The fact that he wanted to double his money is a clear indication that this guy is definitely addicted as only addicted people do not think much about consequences as they are only focused on doubling their money whatever the amount they bet for them is irrelevant.

This is one of the most horrible story I have ever read, Imagine the excitement and effort of the bride to save money for their wedding, she even contributed 60% of the total savings wherein it should be 50-50 or majority of the expenses  supposed to be shouldered by the groom (I know, many of you will disagree on this part but this is my thoughts when it comes to wedding expenses). It's better not to tell it to other family member until she had a serious conversation with her fiancé. I highly suggest her to hold off the wedding until they get these issues sorted out because This is a huge red flag.

I believe the relationship may continue and what they mean by calling off the wedding may be to postpone the wedding till further notice until they can save up another money,  but to me, the ladies were not wise to have held such cash,  in a country that the currency is so weak and inflation is rising steadily,  if anyone in her condition is wise is to always use any money that comes into the hand to buy the wedding materials pay for event centres ahead and do a whole lot that will make the money not to be physically available before any temptation like this will even happen.

The guy really messed up,  he lack value for money and had a wrong mentality about gambling,  but then he did the wrong and at that, we have to move on regardless,  but I feel for that lady she should be very disappointed right now.

I honestly do not know; she anonymously posted this confession through an account on X (formally twitter) which specializes in giving people the opportunity to confess whatever they are going through and needs advice from other people on what to do. so, the lady shared this because she needed people to advise her on what to do, Majority in the comments did advise her to leave the man, that such a man is not worthy to be married to and called a husband, so whatever be her final decision, I do not know, like I mentioned on the op, I do not know the lady personally.

Should have shared the link to this tweet on X, but unfortunately, i have lost the tweet, i was kind of high on alcohol last night while going through the tweet  , didn't even know I saved the screenshot i shared here; on my phone, i was going through my gallery this morning, saw the shot, then remembered and decided to share the story here.

Yes, this is another sad story with regards to gambling and it's consequences especially if you don't have total control of your emotions. So imagine the burden of the lady here, as he put more than half of it for their once in a lifetime wedding that they will not forget as this is a very special day, thus he fiancee just play their money and obviously lost almost everyone.

Hard to give her advise, maybe the man is not meant to be for her. And maybe look for other guy and reset everything. But the emotional damage that has put a toll on her and the guy. I don't want to be in her shoe right now. But I guess she has to make that important decision in her life, whether to stay with that man, or broke the relationship and start all over again.

[bluebit25]

The girl in the story is really pitiful, and I think she was also quite lucky here to discover through this painful incident the bad behavior of the friend she intended to accompany her on the journey.
Through the story, I focused my attention on the man, what is his intention here? Is it another reason to find a better opportunity for the couple's life, or is it simply to satisfy his behavior. But it's not obvious what he's doing wrong when it's his girlfriend, and moreover this was money saved up for a big event, but he destroyed everything. Anyway, I feel sorry for both of them, one person suffers from the pain caused by another person and the other person turns himself into a person who brings pain.

[piebeyb]

On the one hand, maybe I feel sorry for the woman because she has a high commitment to marrying a gambling man who is like an addict, but on the other hand, I would also be very happy if she wanted to cancel her marriage because the man doesn't care about her marriage, because if the man cared, he would definitely looking for extra money and working fought for the woman's seriousness but she thought very short-sightedly choosing to spend money on gambling. it will never be good in the end

I would be grateful if the woman had to leave the man because in my opinion it is not appropriate and appropriate to keep a man who likes to gamble and is short-sighted like that because maybe after marriage things will be worse than now, the right decision is to leave him and let the man have fun with what he wants when gambling. the man is not a real man

Very thoughtful, and i also did think about this as well, but in all honestly, we can't really blame the lady, we all as human beings think differently, there are people who just love starting something all at once after having spent years saving for it, it's just like a friend of mine over here who said he would not start building his own house until he has managed to save up to 10 million naira in his account, and i have on several occasions advised him to start with whatever amount of money he has at hand, but he is still adamant about it.

So, there are people like that, not the lady's fault if you ask me, the man as well should have allowed the lady to keep the money if he knew that he would do such a thing, it's really heart recking and i can't just imagine the kind of trauma this act will through the lady into, for these days, it's kind of hard to find such ladies who trust their boyfriend good enough to save money with him, it's very rare, but all the same, i just hope she gets over it regardless of whether she continue with the man or not.

If she calls off the wedding that's the best thing that she can do, it's better for her to re-assess if this is the right guy to marry, the only good thing that this happens is she discovers what kind of guy he is going to marry, it's very embarrassing but that will save you from the many woes and cheating that's going to happen inside your marriage.
Marriage is not something that you will just get in and get out of, divorce and separation are very costly much more so when you already have children, you will marry an irresponsible guy, she doesn't deserve you, there are more good guys than will come to you that will not cheat you of your money.

[Hirose UK]

If case like this really happens then it is mutual mistake because why the man can take full control of the money that has been collected because when he has committed to saving with his partner with the aim of being means of marriage and continuing to fulfill his family.
But here the person who is most guilty is the man because he is the future head of the family who has full responsibility and should have thought better before using the money as betting capital.

I sure the woman was devastated by this incident and she must have been very disappointed because what had been targeted and planned in such way had to fall apart because of the man mistake.

However, we can learn from things like this and add to our experience that we must always be able to control ourselves and be smarter in using or managing our finances for gambling.

[Fiatless]

In life, we make decisions based on our needs placed in order of importance. If the man sees marriage as a cardinal need he wouldn't have risked such an amount on gambling. Greed played an important role in this senseless bet. His excuse that wanted to make more money so that the burden of the wedding expenses would not be on the lady is silly. He would have worked harder or taken another job to achieve that. The simple reason for his behavior is he is very greedy or suffering from gambling addiction. The lady should be careful of him because he might sell their belongings to gamble. He should seek help that will enable him to control his gambling drive. The bride-to-be should also check if he is not addicted to something else like hard drugs.

  Hi guys and ladies, here comes a very sad and heart-breaking story (true life confession) of a young lady who was contributing money (saving money) together with her husband-to-be (fiancée) in preparation for their wedding. The story in quote ..

The story is really heartbreaking since imagine that you are really expecting that there's a wedding  will gonna happen but suddenly his supposed to be husband made a wrong decision and use the money for just like that then for sure this creates a lot of stress from the girl side especially with the man if he realize that he made a big mistake of his life.

Since this is already happened maybe its better for girl to decide to end up their relationship since that action is very irresponsible and he might do this again especially if the girl tolerate what the guy did. And he should not supposed to use that money since that is intended for important event in their life, but the guy decide to gamble all so I guess that tells all that he can't handle his self very well and might the girl will suffer from his wrong decisions in life in future.

I conclude that she confronted her partner and their wedding is no longer to happen. If I were her,  I would postpone the wedding and break off the engagement but I also agree with everyone else that this needs to be addressed first before deciding whether to continue the wedding plan or not.. It is very important to know each other's behavior before getting married. There's only one thing that I want to know, Is she aware that her partner is into gambling or not?

What kind of stupid story is this...? There are so many stories about someone whose family had to be destroyed where the child became the victim of a divorce caused by reckless and irresponsible gambling carried out by the head of the family. And now there is a story of someone who failed to continue their marriage and this was again caused by reckless and irresponsible gambling.. STUPID.. how is it possible that in such an urgent situation they still think that by gambling they can double their money.

Heyy, marriage is simple, it's just that our egos are too high, which makes us like those who, when we want to have a wedding, have to have a lot of money so we can hold a luxurious wedding party because we have friends we invite, so if we don't have a party, it becomes embarrassing. What we need to think about is not about the wedding party but about life after marriage where we as men must have a steady income that can be relied upon to meet the needs of the family. It's ridiculous, we struggle to hold a wedding but after getting married we become confused because we run out of money. LOL.

[coin-investor]

Her life will be in total misery if he marries this guy, this guy is a compulsive gambler, he doesn't care about his bride's feelings, and it's better for the lady to cool off the wedding and only talk about the wedding if he is totally cured.

Compulsive gamblers like the guy in the description should not have a family, they will spend more time in casinos and spend all their money betting, if that lady is a friend I will ask her to just break the guy, and if he wants her back he must show first that he is totally cured from his addiction.

The worst thing that can happen to a woman is getting married to a compulsive gambler, the marriage will eventually end in divorce and he will continue to hurt her feelings, there are many straight and clean guys so it is better to look for a man who take care of her and not spend her money or love gambling more than he loves her.

[Natsuu]

I feel bad for the lady. If she decides to leave the relationship, I think it would more than just about money.
The man is either a gambler already who knowingly risk their wedding money for gambling or a first time gambler who genuinely hope that he could double the money. If it is the former, it would be unforgivable fir me. He shouldnt have made the decision at all right from the beginning. If it is the former, I think they can try to talk to each other and sort it out. Whatever the lady decides, I think it is valid. She was lied to, regardless of the reason and that something that a partner should refrain from doing

[freedomgo]

Honestly, she might be better off calling off the wedding. They've been scrimping and saving for the big day, so it's clear they're not rolling in money. But then her fiancé goes and gambles it away? Talk about a wild risktaker, but it's not exactly a smart gamble. Wedding funds shouldn't go into a bet as that's just asking for trouble. If he'd won, folks might call him daring, the 'all-in' kind of guy. But since he lost, it's all on him.

Seriously, marrying a guy like that is a recipe for disaster. Making big decisions without consulting the wife? Hey, lady, maybe you should look for a different fella, someone who's not all about the high-stakes gambling. No hate on gamblers, I mean, some of us enjoy a little risk, but this is just too much.
