“That’s pretty offensive.”
I’m not sure what you found offensive.

My wife came with baggage and I wanted to be sure
I wasn’t getting into something,
I could not be happy with.
I saw what my mother did to her many husbands.
I wasn’t going to let that happen to me.

Been married to my wife now for almost 49 years.
We cohabited, before I decided to marry her.
My Christian up bringing said that was a sin,
but so is gambling.
Marrying modern American women is a gamble.
I chose the the sin of cohabitation
over sin of gambling.

What’s offensive is that you expect girls to sleep around. Virtue shows that to be a false narrative.

There’s nothing in scripture that says gambling is a sin. There’s plenty of admonitions against adultery and fornication.
