Dear Lindsey and Nick: My Husband Is A Gambler . . .

Lindsey and Nick offered marriage advice in honor of their first anniversary. It turns out this couple enjoys giving advice. “I think we’re good at it,” Lindsey said. Nick stood by her side, nodding yes. So they’ve agreed to offer words of wisdom from time to time.


Dear Lindsey and Nick:

Dear Lindsey and Nick:
My spouse likes to gamble, but I don't. We love each other a lot and this is our one problem area. What should we do?
 ~A Gambler's Wife

Lindsey: You could decide to split the gambling money between you, and then each one of you could do what you want with it.

Nick: Just say “No” to gambling. Don’t blow your money on that. Buy dinner or groceries instead.

Lindsey: Don’t gamble if you are going to lose your house or cars.

Nick: Or he could do his own thing and you could do your own thing.

Lindsey: You should go to your room, take a hot bath by yourself, and watch love stories on TV. Love stories on TV always make everything better.

Nick: I’d say, go to the souvenir store instead and spend your money there.

Lindsey: If you have to gamble, don’t over do it.

Nick: And my final advice, don’t buy lottery tickets. You never win.

I share many passions in this world: antiquing, gardening, hiking, traveling, taking amateur photographs, writing, sitting on a white, sandy beach with my husband and sipping a frozen margarita—just to name a few. If you enjoy any of these things too, let's connect! The world is better with friends.
