I have just joined this forum having spoken to a lovely lady this afternoon and booked my 1st counselling session for next Wednesday. I gambled this morning for the first time in many years. I used my wife's account to fund my gambling I was given the card to get 40 pound out. I walked into a bookies and blew it playing roulette we don't have a lot of money but I went on to withdraw about 180 pounds chasing my losses. I have texted her and told her what I have done now I feel like s**m. The last time I Gambled big was about 10 years ago . I don't understand why I have done this I wish I knew why I would do something that made me hate myself so much.
I Hi kev, I'm in similar position, I opened account in wife's name using her bank card, we have joint account but I have previously self excluded from most online sites in my own name so when I wanted my next fix I had to use her card to get it. Of course she found out and went mad as expected but the lies and deceit and disappointment are out in the air and life tough at minute. I too don't have bundles of cash too waste and what u wasted last night could have been used on the kids smash presents or out too good use. I'm down today and still getting the thoughts if you just put bet in tonight you can get it all back , I've taken steps to prevent this but crazy after all the pain we want more. I hope you can resolve things with your wife and get back in the good books by showing her you want to change and kick out the gambling
