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 guess her husband had the idea that if he played with a bigger amount he could win a huge amount and problem support his wife to be. I feel how disappointed the lady would be in situations like this. It's kind of heartbreaking to know that the money which you had be saving together for long with you man had been used for something else without your concent and he actually lost the funds. Id he had spoken to her about this before he made his decision maybe she would have stoped him and they will still have the money. This is more reason why I usually like seeing financial advice from some one I trust first before I make a big move that could be in one way risky. I just hope he learnt a lesson from this.

If a person has so frivolously lost money for a wedding, it says a lot about his nature. It means that the wedding didn't mean much to him. He wasn't afraid to upset his fiancee. This characterizes his attitude towards her very well.
Either this person is just a gambling addict, which means he has a gambling addiction. In any case, it is highly doubtful that he can be relied upon in family life.
I agree with you, that this could be an indication of his true personality. Because he still dares to use money that will be used for something sacred like a wedding. If he dares to do that, then logically he will also dare to do things that are crazier than all that. Using money for other needs is also a mistake, especially this is money that will be used for a wedding. I can't imagine how disappointed his partner is and I also can't imagine what he really thinks that he dares to do that. Is he thinking of doubling his money instantly? That doesn't make sense to me. What is clear is that what I can conclude from here is that this person is an irresponsible person.

Well, obviously, according to the story they had the wrong mindset about gambling, they didn't think that the risk was high when they put money in gambling. Then the thought of doubling the money they saved for their wedding they put in the wrong way.

But if their way was right, that's definitely not what will happen to them, but since their way is gambling, it's really a big mistake because most of the time our money will be in danger.
He did a wrong way putting their money in gambling with a hope he can make a lot of money for his wedding. If he can think clear about saving the money for a while instead using for playing gambling, that will be better for him. He will not lose that money and he can marry with his fiancée without taking a problem while if he still have the money, he and his wife can use that for other things.

He forget that money is not belong to him alone because his lady contributing 60% for their wedding. It is a sad story for them but we hope that they can be fine.

It is very difficult to stop if you have lost some money and most likely you will continue to play until you lose all the money that you have available at the moment. And this condition is inherent not only in gambling, it is familiar to almost every one of us when we first started trading cryptocurrency.
Yes because people are chasing their losses. If you lose half of your initial funds but win double your funds, not only were you able to recover the money you have lost but you have even earned some more and this is what people are hoping to achieve.

Sadly, it doesn’t come very often and the more they do this the more they are just going to lose money.

Generally, it's a game of more losses and little profits that presses the player to further the adventure of a breakthrough. It's quite funny how people don't get to realize this, and the way the algorithm works best for the house. Although, we all enjoy the games, especially slots, but the moment gambling begin to interfere with real life events like wedding, that'll be no longer entertaining.

Furthermore, restrictions are now individually done, nobody could regulate a player who spends time online gaming, unlike the period society had hands in talking to people they see frequenting the casino. So, people need to avoid developing high interest in winning, and check the cons before wagering huge amounts.
Perhaps we should once again re-evaluate the fascination with gambling, clearly as you say, they have low knowledge and do not realize the pre-established structure of gambling, that seems to be an excuse for some small class in gambling, with many people being highly educated, reading many books, cannot be excused in such a way. These people just want to break the available algorithm but unfortunately are buried in that algorithm, knowledge allows to recognize the problem but emotions are acting arbitrarily without knowledge.

Sad story indeed (as $5000 is a big money for Nigerians) which proves that some  gamblers have   an insane passion for money
Yes, indeed that amount is huge in Nigeria with the way inflation has eaten up the economy and continued to do so unabatedly. It's way higher now than it was then last year.

Quote
Money is  not the main point in this story. In fact the fiancée betrayed her at the day that could have to be the gladdest day of her  life . But, probably it could be worse if they get married as he could be more badly with each passing year,   playing the various  fast and loose  stuff.
Crazy things people do in life. There was a friend of mine who did something similar but his was with drinks. This dude stockpiled drinks months before his traditional wedding but gradually drank it all before the D-Day. He couldn't resist that urge for he was a drunk. It was heartbreaking for his fiancée but she endured it all. Today they're married with kids and the dude quit drinking. So, we can't completely say it would turn worse for the union if she went ahead with it. People do turn a new leaf.

It's good that somehow it was resolved and he was able to marry his wife now, and you have a child according to your story. But here in the story that Op is telling, it is quite painful on the part of the woman, to be honest. So when there are occasions like that, I hope you don't have to try the casino anymore, and then the fund that has something really set aside will be used.

Of course, the wedding day is something that happens only once in a person's life; it is an important day for two partners to bond as one,
and it should not be ruined just because of gambling.

There are many ways to measure love bro and every man has his own principles. I love the idea that they both saved for their wedding but saving the money in one account is what I can not do. If the man had saved his own part of the money separately, I believe it would have only been his own potion that he would use to bet and seeing how irresponsible the man is in gambling, it will just be better the woman have a rethink  about the marriage.  Ok, come to think of it, what if it was the woman that portrayed such action, how does the man get back his money?
The woman trusted him that might be why they were saving it in a single account. It also shows that both of them have the same vision to get married. It is really rare to find such kind of woman who will want to support a man in paying some marriage expenses. In my location, it is the man who will pay for everything for the marriage. The man just betrayed the trust the lovely lady had in him, and I guess she would have to reconsider the marriage. It doesn't matter who behaved wrongly, such a disgraceful act should be condemned in strong terms.

You are right bro, I also think it's rare to find a woman that will even show interest in supporting the man with some financial assistance to carry out their wedding. It's usually the man that does everything in my place too and the fact that this woman supported the man, should be a reason that the man should not have even exhibit this kind of attitude.
"Women supporting men"--The equation seem unbalanced and is far away from the dictionary of most women. Grin Women, by nature, like to receive rather than give but there are still some good ones and no man should toy with their generosity. But still, I will not view the situation like this. Fine, the guy messed up, but at times, our action is born out of some reasons, and in his case, it was desperation, though foolish, I've been there before, but not this style. At some point, a guy would want to utilize all available opportunities especially if he believes it is an almost impossible chance of losing, but he forgot that even if the chance of winning is 99.99999%, the gambler may still lose the bet.

I won't call him entirely to be a bad guy, I know he has learned from his mistake and hope the lady can forgive him and both of them move on provided he doesn't repeat such a foolish mistake, which I believe he will not because, it must have been the wedding that got him frustrated, it happens, we are all humans.

That is the hope of everyone who gambles, but people who think like that tend to only experience addiction and other big problems. People who have the wrong mindset about gambling are likely to dare to take risks such as when they have run out of pocket money to gamble, but still have a feeling or grudge, then they can do things that they don't really have to do, such as using their savings or borrowed money.
The case where people dare to use their wedding savings to gamble is because they have the wrong mindset, they think that maybe gambling can make them get bigger and easier profits, thinking they can multiply the money they have to be bigger but when some of their money is gone, they will most likely get emotional and continue to use the savings to gamble, which ends up losing everything and getting stressed. This is a pretty stupid act.

...If someone is addicted, it becomes easy for them to do whatever it takes to get money to gamble. That’s why it’s better to start controlling ourselves right from the beginning if we notice that we are becoming too focused on gambling. Some people start gambling just for fun, but doing it frequently can eventually make them addicted.

Very well outspoken and I completely agree with you bud, I am a married man myself, and let confess that, it's been like over 8 months since I last gambled with my money, and this is because of the project I have at hand which I have placed as my top most priority, majorly all the funds I am making is going to it while I try also to set some aside as investment so that I don't miss the bull run if and when it eventually comes.

I don't need my wife before I know what is important for me to do with money, I stopped gambling when I realized nothing is coming out of it, but rather, I am wasting money that should have served a more important purpose, and for the past 8 months now, I only gamble when I have some unwithdrawable bonuses from any casino, like today, I got gifted 100 free spin on bet fury, I played the spin and won around $11, I tried to withdraw it and realized I can't withdraw until I meet the wager requirements, I simply forgot about it and logged off.

Men decide how to live their life, and what to do with their income, whether addicted to gambling or not.

Yes bro, I think a responsible man must not be told how to spend his money because as a responsible man, you will know that the money you've got is to be spend on the things that matters most first before things of common pleasure. For example, a responsible man that has not paid the school fee of his kids, will not have to compromise but will pay the fees first. There's many financial situations that will not allow a responsible man to compromise.

Yes and I think it's not just about being responsible but also about whether someone is able to think with common sense and a rational point of view or not. Responsibility is the ability to accept every impact that arises from a decision that has been taken and a decision is something that should be taken with common sense and a rational point of view, meaning that I would say that someone will only be responsible when every decision they make is based on considerations from a rational point of view, because when you think using common sense then it is unlikely for you to be careless in taking action, meaning that when someone is faced with two choices then it is clear that they will prefer to use their money for something much more important.

It's a simple fact of life that sometimes people cannot control themselves and will get whisked away by an addiction. They get a seed planted in their mind, in this case it was - I can make a lot more money by risking this big amount of money and nobody will be any the wiser. This gambler did not appreciate the simple fact that the house always wins and essentially stole a large amount of money from the person that he was meant to spend the rest of his life with. I do wonder if this was an arranged type of manage or a marriage based on love, but the situation can happen in both - although perhaps if they were both strangers before they met and were forced together, there is less of a bond between these strangers.


The truth is, it’s not easy for someone who is already addicted to gambling to control themselves. What often leads to gambling addiction is the desire to make it in life easily. Once someone has this mindset and gets into gambling, they can risk their life to any extent. It’s not surprising to hear stories like this again because I have witnessed many before. The funny part is that a gambling addict often prefers to gamble rather than feed themselves. Isn't that a foolish idea?

If someone is addicted, it becomes easy for them to do whatever it takes to get money to gamble. That’s why it’s better to start controlling ourselves right from the beginning if we notice that we are becoming too focused on gambling. Some people start gambling just for fun, but doing it frequently can eventually make them addicted.

The blame should be for the groom alone and not the bride because she doesn't have an idea that the man was going to use the money to gamble. If the man knew that he would be so loosed not to control his gambling desire, then he should have asked the woman to save half on the money in her own account, instead of his own. It was the man that got greedy here without the consent of the bride.

All of us has a tendency to become like this when we are involved on gambling while we have huge amount of money in possession and can easily use to gamble.

My wife holds all my salary and savings since I want to play safe. This is the reason why I gamble rarely using my signature campaign earnings.

Not all of us, only those that are fully addicted in gambling or those that finds reasons to convince themselves that they can luckily multiply their money through gambling. Some people too are very greedy in life, that's why they can only exhibit this kind of attitude. Those that clearly knows the different between right and wrong, can not be this foolish.

I don't need my wife to hold my salary for me to know what is more important to do with my money.

Culture and tradition differs indeed because in my place, a woman have her part to play in the wedding process and everything is not usually done by the man unless he choses to do everything. Whenever a wedding is planned, both partners will plan everything including the financial aspect and no one is put under serious pressures. Maybe the case being discussed here will be that part that require the man to shoulder all the responsibilities, the reason he got the motivated to gamble with the salved funds for their wedding. People should truly learn how to draw the line when it comes to gambling because the action of some gamblers have made gambling appear very bad whereas it actually isn't.

Why feel sorry for this lady? Her fiancé took a risk and could win (after all, gamblers claim that gambling is a place to make money Smiley) and increase their total savings. This accumulated money would be spent on the wedding:
Do you know why I feel bad for the lady? The fiancé didn’t inform her before gambling with the money, if she was informed and she agreed with her fiancé to gamble with the money, as they lose the money, I am not really going to feel anything for them, but she knows nothing about everything that happened. The fiancé did so wrong by doing so. We should know that gambling is not a place to increase money or make money. why did he decide to gamble with the money that is meant for important activities like this? Seriously, that’s really wrong, and I feel sorry for the lady, and I don’t know where she will be starting from.

The part I bolded really gat my attention because there is no way we can crusade this that everyone will come to the term that gambling shouldn't be an avenue with the hope of maximizing profits, perhaps every has their life to live, it can be normal to have certain urges but resisting it can be very helpful to us when we have our mind cleared, out side having pity the lady what about the condition of the man, the shock and the emotional trauma that he has lost the money that didn't belong to him alone , you know the feeling is always different between a senerio where it is only your money that is involve and when it has be in conjunction with an another person, it has already happened I believed he might learnt his lesson the hard way.
