|
IMDB rating: 7.00 Plot: Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with the desire to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 for the four to five years of school since he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive club of five students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Jimmy whom are being trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack. Intriged by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Ben only wants to make enough money for the tuition to Harvard and then back out. But as fellow card counter, Jill Taylor, predicts, Ben becomes corrupted by greed and his arrogance at winning which lets his feelings get in the way, and it also puts Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to undo everything the students have learned and earned. |

I snooped through my husbands email….and don't like what I found PART 1?
A week ago my fiance and I got married. We were engaged a very short time – only about two months, and the reasoning behind our "quickie" marriage was our "quickie" unplanned pregnancy.
Some background information on us is: He is 24 – He is in the Army and got back to the states from Iraq in July of 2008. We met by chance in September of 2008, but were unable to see each other in person until December. Instead we had a phone/email conversation for those few months. In December on our second visit with each other our birth control failed and I got pregnant. He told me he wanted us to get married, and it made sense – I was unemployed at the time, with no solid plans for the near future. I am 21 and had been spending the last eight months helping my parents with my younger siblings and some critical illness in the family, so everything in my life got put on hold for the time. Anyways, it made financial sense for us to get married, he would have more income and I would have health coverage. I moved in with him in February and we married the end of the month.
During the past couple of months we have talked a bit about our past relationships. He has told me about a few women he was with at different times. One was the girl who broke his heart in July when he got home from deployment. Another was a girl, "Megan," he dated about three years ago and it sounded, when he first told me about her, like there had been no contact between them for a couple of years. Yet another was a girl, "Tiffany," he met right before he met me — he told me they too emailed for a bit ("before he was talking to me") and she flirted with him through email before telling him she had a boyfriend. He supposedly found that despicable and cut off contact with her.
The problem comes in tonight. I am home alone and was using his computer to check my personal email. He always leaves his signed on and I did something I knew I shouldn’t be doing: I snooped. I went through his emails from the last few months, he still had them back up to just before he met me. I found emails from "Megan" – two from her and one from him, signing their emails with "love." Those were just those three back and forth about four to six weeks after he started talking to me, then I didn’t see anymore.
I also found emails from "Tiffany," yet they did not match up to what he told me. He was the one doing the flirting, not her, and in her second or third email to him she nicely let him know that she had a boyfriend, yet things were not well or serious with him and she would like to stay as friends talking with my husband (not my husband at the time). My husband, at the time a guy I thought was only talking to me and flirting with me, wrote to her a few more times, cutting back somewhat but not completely on the flirting, and she stopped writing him. He has spoken ill of her and made her out to be a tramp when in reality he was the one being too aggressive who got rejected. On top of all that, I found that he had joined an online dating site about a month before he met me and had twenty or thirty conversations with a woman on there. Those seem to have stopped about six weeks after he started talking to me.
A few nights ago we had an argument – we were at home watching a movie when he received a phone call. He talked briefly, his side of the conversation being: "I’m just hanging out at home. Yes at home. I’m watching a movie. I can’t talk right now. Goodbye." And he hung up. While he was on the phone, out of curiosity I asked him a few times who it was. He didn’t answer until he hung up – then he said "Megan." I got quiet and he got upset wondering why I was mad, and I asked why she was calling. He said she calls every few months to talk and they haven’t talked since October, and he got off the phone as fast as he could and I basically had no reason to be upset. He said he doesn’t know how to get her to stop calling, and he didn’t know why I was upset because it’s not like he called her, and I asked "Why didn’t you tell her you were home with your wife?" And he said he didn’t think about it. We were silent for a while after that, eventually arguing and I told him it hurt me that he would do something like that, and gave him an example of an ex boyfriend calling me a month or two ago, and what I told him: That I was getting married and having a baby and couldn’t talk to him any longer. My husband said he would expect that of me, and he realized that he did something that offended and hurt me and he was sorry. He said he would readily call "Megan" back and tell her he was married and could no longer talk to her, but she blocked her number when she called and he didn’t have it saved. Which is true, I saw the phone. So I forgot about it and took it as a worked out problem that I would think about no more.
PLEASE READ BOTH PART ONE AND PART TWO BEFORE ANSWERING
I think he has a lot of explaining to do to those other women. Next time Megan calls… Tell her yourself, the truth.
You need to express to your Husband that your faithful, and not disrespectful of his emotions.

I’m sorry you have to go through all of this I understand I had a similar problem a few years ago..
it is also really hard to loose trust in a relationship and gain in back without problems (arguing) etc.
First he speaked ill(bad) of one of the girls they say if a man says bad things about his ex or whatever he’s not over her, they say if he can say good then hes over it.
It sounds like things flew fast in your relationship, you might be in for a eye opener on what he is like and weather or not trust worthy. He should change his number and his email, he needs to so you he is trustworthy. Its hard not to get back or freak out when you find things out like that- I seriously got so ticked off in my problem i punched him and I was not a happy person for a really long time dealing with no trust the betrayl etc.
All I can say is you have to ask him straight up and find the truth out fix and forget it or hold a grudge.

There was no need for you to rush into marriage just because you’re having a baby.
You haven’t known this man long enough to know if you want to spend the rest of your life with him.
At the time he was emailing other women because he didn’t think you were serious………….but you showed him huh….? You got pregnant to a virtual stranger.
This relationship has trouble written all over it.
Re read your question ……you said ." it made financial sence to get married"………..thats not a reason to get married!!!
