My Husband Lost 25K on New Year; I Let Him Play OnChapter 1
During the New Year, my husband lost 25,000 dollars playing cards in one night.
That was the hard-earned money we saved by living frugally while working outside for a year.
It was also my daughter’s tuition, my father’s surgery fees and our family’s living expenses for the coming year.
My husband knelt at the door of the room all night, begging for my forgiveness.
I cried all night.
Finally, I took out my daughter's 150 dollars New Year's gift money and handed it to my husband while saying in an angry tone, “You can continue to gamble tonight.”
——
“Honey, I was wrong. I was really wrong! Please forgive me this time. I will never gamble again!”
When I took out my daughter's New Year's money and asked my husband to continue gambling, he slapped himself madly and assured me.
Obviously, my husband not only knew that he was wrong, but he was also afraid.
But I grabbed my husband's wrist and told him seriously that we had to continue gambling tonight.
