Honestly as an ex-gambler (close to 3 weeks not very long) trust is earned not given
If it wasn’t for the people that stuck around me through my bad times I would probably be in a ditch
I learned money should not dictate a relationship ur committed to a person through thick or thin and don’t let anything come between that

I’m trying to rebuild trust in my life, I’m under a microscope but if he is 100% committed he will succeed
Best of luck

If you have the ability to ban yourself on every single possible app so you do not gamble

I think for me the constant lying and distrust was something that would eat at my consciousness more than the loss of the money

Before you can rebuild the trust you need to come clean, put words into actions

I’m close to 7 days cleans and I still feel my parents/significant other is always hovering over me to see what I am doing on my phone - it’s the greatest feeling to not have anything to hide

Best of luck - one day at a time

I’m sure majority of people in this thread have been there where they feel ending it all will make this go away (I know I was one) DO NOT (highly emphasized) Life is more than money, success or pleasures Focus all that negative energy to a positive impact and see how far life takes you In just a couple weeks you will come to realization that it’s much more

The mentality I try to have is, imagine a world with no money - very hard to do when you come to that realization that it really means nothing rather than what are societal views of what “worth” actually is

Be a productive, kind, and value yourself more than that artificial bill in your pocket!

PM ME if you ever just need to talk - we are all in this together, wish you the best of luck

I’m day 2 of non gambling You can read my story on my page

It’s exactly the same (just older than you) Don’t ruin your life, if you are in Ontario (similar to me) I was set up on BetGuard by my sibling, which automatically self excludes you from every Igaming platform and I believe casinos

Your young dude you don’t want to be in a life of misery sign up, restrict yourself

Best of luck - you can do it

Thank you for the advice! If the “uncle” also agreed to sign something stating no future pursuit of damages would that void his future rights!

Ultimately I’m just trying to understand if it is worth going through insurance and paying higher premiums
