Husband just blew 34k on online casino

HP123,
You cant carry on like this, it will come to a head sooner or later. Why are you covering up for him? He blames his addiction on your marriage problems, therefore you blame yourself for his addiction. You may be married but its his debt, not yours! Stop feeling guilty. Remember your first responsibility is to yourself and your children, I think you've lost sight of this as you've been so distracted covering up for him and keeping up appearances that everythings o.k. I hope it goes well for you talking to GA,
good luck.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will take on board the advice and comments made, some of it I have already acted upon.

I think this thread has now run its course and should be locked. If anyone has any other advice please pm me.

everything in your name including the house

Assuming the couple are married - the Family Home Act will apply, makes no difference if the family home is in one name or both.

For clarity - the card that you can use in a shop to purchase groceries and the money comes straight out of your own account, (in other words not a credit card) and you use a pin rather than a signature.

Not on all cards - I have a PTSB ATM/Laser/Cirrus card that is not chip and PIN and still requires a signature for Laser transactions.

But I would seriously like to know that there are limits

I always thought that Laser allows you to spend as much as you had in the account but maybe the (PTSB in this case) limits of €700 (?) per day on ATM cash withdrawals or €3K for phone/online banking transfers (€6K if you use both) kick in here too?

There is a ceiling limit per Laser Transaction of €1500

However it does not mention weather you can perform 5 or 6 transactions in a row to get €7500 to €9000 withdrawn
