Me: I have checks bouncing like rubber balls because my mortgage payment went through my account twice. It might be my fault. I'm not for sure. Are you ready for this?
D: I have $500 on the Pistons tonight. I'm ready for you if you're ready for me.
Me: I don't think I'm ready for that. I need you to be better at managing finances than me.
D: And I need you to understand that sometimes I'm not better at money. I wish I was smart about it at all times, but I'm not.
Me: I get that you're not perfect babe. I just want to feel comfortable putting our financial future in your hands.
D: I understand. I just want you to know who I am – a normally levelheaded guy with a gambling problem. You may not be truly ready for that.
Me: If what you think you have is a problem then no I'm not ready for that.
D: It was always a problem. I didn't indulge in it for a long time. But it's always been there.
Me: We should talk about this later.
D: I agree. We'll pick this up later.
Me: I am for your well-being, so I'll pray that the Pistons win.
D: Thank you.
