US EditionDear Abby: My wife values her gambling addiction more than our 10-year marriage
- A man has been married for 10 years and reports that his wife frequently spends time away gambling, often staying out all night or playing online throughout the day and evening.
- His wife’s gambling addiction, driven by the rush it provides, has caused ongoing conflict despite his calm and angry attempts to address it, and she leaves at any time but is not involved with other men or bars.
- He feels disrespected by her behavior, believes it harms their relationship, and is close to saying “Enough!” as her actions threaten the financial and marital stability they share.
- Advisers suggest his wife join Gamblers Anonymous, he seek support through Gam-Anon, and if issues persist, consult an attorney and separate finances to protect himself; this separation might lead to ending the marriage.
- The man is near the decision to end their relationship if his wife does not seek help, indicating that their marriage faces critical challenges due to her gambling addiction.
