Stupid idiot

[district12ravenclaw]

So yeah, I think Steve just blew through that $1000 that I let him keep earlier. I knew I should've taken more. He'd better have a damn good explanation as to why he was gambling instead of sitting in his conference. I don't even want to see him right now. And when I stormed off upon hearing that news that he just blew all his winnings, did he come after me? NO! The a-hole is still at the effing craps table. I wish these walls were thicker so that I could really rip him a new one. I knew this was a bad idea coming here, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

ETA: It's been about an hour since I walked away and he still hasn't come up yet! He is in so much freaking trouble, and that's probably why he's not coming up. Even when I busted him, he said that he had until 4:30 to gamble. Well, it's now 5:10, that's just a little bit past 4:30. Grr!

ETA: Two hours, no sign. I'm getting pretty hungry and we're supposed to go to Sammy's Woodfired Pizza tonight.

ETA: Yeah, 3 hours later and he's still downstairs. I wouldn't doubt it if he didn't show up until 11, which is his gambling curfew. Unbelievable. I think I'm going to find the most expensive thing on the room service menu and order it. It's 41 degrees outside right now, so it's way too cold for me to go out alone.

ETA: Well well well, it's 8:23 and guess who just showed up? And guess who lost all his money? And guess who gave me an attitude when he said it? Like it's my fault? He's the freaking idiot who doesn't know when enough is enough; he has no one to be mad at but himself.

Quote: He swears he did go to his sessions, so in good faith, I'll believe him. I took Steve's credit and ATM cards so that he couldn't take out more money, but he admitted to me that while I was in the shower yesterday, he went through my purse and took out his ATM card, then took out $500. He actually did have money when he came back to the room, so we're actually still ahead by about $250.

To me, that scares me!! Totally an addicted gambler if he's doing that. Not cool. And $500? WOW that's a lot of money.

I hope that you can get thru this. Has he thought about going to gamblers AA? It might help him control his urges. The fact that he has to go to these meetings every year, in Vegas, isn't good for you two. Just think, this time next year you will have a baby to deal with. Will you be able to watch him then? For you, you need to know that he can control his abilities - obviously right now he can't.

Make it home safely!!

Also, officially...CONGRATS on Ducky!! That's VERY Awesome and I'm happy for you two!

It scares me too, and even though we have more than what we came with at this point, I don't want to give any of it to him. He, of course, doesn't think he has a gambling problem. When we're at home, he's very mindful and respectful of the rules that I put in place for his poker playing. But here, it's like a whole other story.

This conference isn't in Vegas every year. Every other year, it alternates between San Diego and Nevada, either Reno or Vegas. It's a big conference for him, so he has to go, but I don't see how this is going to work with a baby. At least next year, it will be in San Diego, and we'll have a 4-5 month old at that point. Hopefully he'll wise up a little when he sees he has more of a responsibility to his family.

Thank you :D!
