Lol, assuming what you say is true, your case is exceptional.
Yes, it's usually the other way around.
As they say, behind every successful man is a woman - and in my case, that woman is my better half who I believe brings me luck when gambling. I've tried to convince her to come to the casino with me on numerous occasions, but she tends to be a bit more practical when it comes to spending money. I guess that's just one of the many differences between the sexes - men are typically more willing to take risks, while women tend to be more pragmatic.
It was opposite of us, lol. Well, I am the only one working, and she is caring for our child, but I always give her money on a monthly basis so that she can gamble (she has other budgets for her needs, so gambling is separate). Well, she only won once this year, and it was not that big, but she is happy whether she loses or wins. But I am a practical person at times, I would suggest to her sometimes that she should use her gambling budget this month to buy clothes; but mostly she doesn't do it. On the other hand I do have a really strict gambling budget, and I also rarely play—mostly once every two months if I have funds, and sometimes I skip to spend it on others.
