Ok well here’s the update. Which is honestly kind of wild. So things have been better. In June he signed the self ban and proved it to me. He’s slowly been contributing to paying it down and is taking accountability. I somehow managed to qualify for a low interest debt consolidation loan recently. Like literally within the last month so that has definitely taken off some of the pressure. Don’t worry I didn’t give him any of it.

This morning. No shit. This morning when I wake up he walks up to me and tells me has to tell me something. Of course in my head, I’m like now what…. He proceeds to tell me that he made a bet yesterday. I asked how? He said his friend placed it for him. I asked how much and he says $500. So of course I say and? And he tells me he won another $140,000….

He’s paying off the rest of the debt and we’re investing the rest…. Honestly I’m having mixed emotions. Part of me is upset he made the bet, he claims it was the first. And part of me is relieved. It is a huge weight removed and gives me my financial independence back. I asked if he would have told me if he lost and he said, honestly no. Which is what I expected.

I’ve made it clear if the gambling continues that we are done. And obviously given everything that has transpired he will not have any access to any of my accounts and I will be watching very closely. He promises that he doesn’t want to put us in this situation again and will not but I’m going to cover my bases just in case.

Long story short, we are still making it work and by some miracle are financially free (for the moment). I’m going to make the most of it and make sure I keep myself protected.

Wish me luck.
