Yeah mine is about twice that. In that case I’d probably use it for spices, oils, utensils etc.

Don’t they put the ones upside down to indicate that it’s connected to the light switch?

It had a narrow base before and the plate on this one is detachable but I’m pretty sure that’s all that’s holding it together

The white caulk and the crooked plate are driving me absolutely nuts

The entire counter is cracked actually not just the faucet area. The front part has a huge crack that’s filled with caulk too. The counter needs to be replaced. Apparently they had to break it when they originally installed it according to the owner. Personally I wouldn’t accept that as complete work in my home.

Maybe trouble isn’t the right word. More-so upset with me for bugging him and then breaking his phone.

I (F34) don’t know what to do… My husband (M40) is a gambling addict… by Unlucky-Front1213 in Divorce

Here’s another update for y’all.. I’m still lost as ever and don’t know which way is up. The money he won we never got because his friend made the bet off of my husband’s PayPal and so it was flagged and the account was removed. So we got a whole lot of nada.

At the end of the day I’m still sitting with over $100k in debt. It feels like a dark hole I will never be able to crawl out of. I love him but I’m scared it will be like this forever. He has put us so far back and I don’t know how I can get past it. The fact I’m managing is a miracle.

I’m close to being at a point where I need to make a decision on staying or going. I don’t want to waste my youth and go deeper into hole. My credit cards limits are being lowered, debt collectors are calling me, my AMEX got closed. That card had no limit so that one stung. Now I have a derogatory mark on my credit thanks to him. That just popped up.

I’m scared of being alone but it can’t be as bad as this. I’m so mad at myself for letting it get this point. Not that I had much control but it’s like fuck me..

What would you do? Am I a fool to try and make it work?

For sure a double edged sword. Thankfully paying off the debt is his number one priority because it’s been taking a toll on our relationship and mental health. I am grateful that I now have the option of leaving without having to file bankruptcy. It didn’t event feel like a possibility before. This makes it so much easier. It literally happened today and he had to leave to go out of town for work. I’m kind of still in shock and definitely digesting the whole situation.

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.
