I’m still going to ignore and block him
however in meantime should I tell his
wife (they have arguments think he took from her to if he’s not lying but doesn’t anymore)
brother(who’s opposite him)
football mate(who would tell him what I say)
im still angry he manipulated me,want to see their response and I may get something back from 6k
reason not tell them, it’s not their problem or fault, they may think it’s my fault and I’m stupid for sending and the number one reason not to be may seek revange like rumbles, or even physical.0 -
Just leave it.
Stop thinking about this person.
Your £6K is almost certainly gone.2 -

Long story short over a year a gambler manipulated me for 6k, you name it he tried it.
Any work or any problems I had he answer, he would be available almost 24/7
Spend hours texting and calling me.
Went to his house, he took me out etc
After a year when I blocked him he spent a whole year trying to get back in touch, then he did as curiosity got better of me, then I re blocked and he’s still trying to get in touch.
I’m not asking what to do, I know what to do block and ignore, which I’m doing
Do you think he will do something illegal?, to get money from me?
Why not go to someone elese, isn’t he scared I could tell his wife brother etc
What kind of a thrill, that high he needs everyday.
Also what is he gona do now, he needs gambling money everyday, all day,and he may not have it for months now ( I’m not worried just interested)
All this just to gamble,
Over just one year he managed to 6K out of you even though he was abusive to you and you couldn't afford it.So he knows your an easy target to get money from so that's probably why he will keep trying.What are you going to tell his wife, brother that he might be scared about? You said he took you out so were you in some kind of relationship with him where he cheated on his wife with you?It sounds to me like your an emotionally vulnerable adult with no one to look out for you and he has taken advantage of that. It's a shame no one has recognised that.0 -

We have queried this of the OP on many occasions, on various similar threads, and it would appear that he IS a vulnerable adult?
He probably needs more help than is available here, as we've given the same advice over and over, but still OP is letting this person dominate their thoughts.
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)4 -

I havn't read everything he has posted on here but considering he lives with his family they really should have seen some warning signs and been there for him.It's a shame previous threads havn't resulted in any more help for him.1 -
He would be scared, if I tell his wife and brother what he’s done as he knows it’s wrong.
Family wasn’t aware, at the time, and I was certain he would pay me back, due to him letting me come to his house spend ages trying persuading me he would pay me back.
I didn’t think someone could be that evil and not pay back.
No relationship, he pretend to be my friend to get money out of me and would do anything.

This is what addiction does. It is a monster that creates a constant need to be fulfilled at whatever cost.2
