Husband secretly gambles away his family's life savings and is at risk of loan delinquency, wife wants out to do right by their child: ‘I feel like a single parent already’

We never want to think our partners are hiding something drastic from us—especially when their quick decisions affect us and those we care about. These decisions can range from them picking up chocolate ice cream (even though you're allergic), to taking all the money you've saved together and gambling it away in hopes they'll double or triple the sum. This isn't something to tread lightly on. Gambling is a serious issue for many people around the world, and those who can't admit to this problem might end up losing much more than their money.

The woman in this Reddit story recently found out that her husband had gambled away the savings they set aside for an emergency fund to secure their and their child's future. He won't admit he has a problem, as problems like this usually go, but it is making the woman consider divorce. She expressed that she doesn't want her child to grow up in a household where behavior like her husband's is the norm, and is adamant that she'll take her kid and get out if things don't get under control.
