Would you rather choose a player or a gambler?

I'm not saying that any of these are good choices, but let's say this is the situation. You love your husband so much. You want him to always be with you. But he has his bad habits. Which one would you think is better? player or gambler? I'd choose gambler, for I don't think I can handle another woman with my husband. The reason to this discussion is how I am to soothe my sister in law that my brother's habit of gambling is better rather than being a casanova.

It is a matter of degree I suppose. I don't consider either to be a good option. The lesser of 2 evils is still an evil. I don't see why it is a matter of soothing your sister in law, if someone is constantly gambling then they have a problem and it is perfectly natural to be upset and stressed about it. Maybe the effort should be put into helping him with the problem rather than trying to convince her that at least he's just wasting money rather than involved with another woman.

In that case I am sorry for both of them. It sounds like a bad situation to be in. I hope it doesn't end up costing him more than he bargains for - his family.

The solution is simple. If you don't want to leave your husband or change his ways then Simply accept him the way he is. It's just a matter of time that he would change. Probably that habit will soon be gone over time. The only way to deal with this problem is to pursue your own happiness.

maybe I will make the same choice with you.it is a bad situcation.I can not share my husband with another woman,but I do not want to share my husband with gamble as well.once confronted with the situation,to tell the truth,I do not know how to do ,maybe I will divorce.under this situation,departure,maybe good to both of us.because even you two live together,maybe there is only continuous querall.
