Interesting story, this is the first time I have read a story about someone losing gambling and lying to his wife unprofessionally, it looks funny.
My understanding is that this person is not good at lying, he should not have told his wife that he had been robbed, maybe he could have found another reasonable reason, so that his wife could believe where the money he used went.

That's why I often say here, gamble professionally and use your side money to gamble, don't use salary money or money whose source your wife knows, that way you will be safe from an economic perspective in your household, so you don't have to be suspicious and fight.

Gambling if we don't control and think about the risks that could happen to our lives, of course gambling will create disaster for ourselves, gamble as much as we can and keep thinking about the risks that will happen.
