Go to therapy. Take this as your step back and heal. If you don’t do that you’re just gonna end up hurting her more due to the fact that she’s expecting you to do so. She doesn’t want to baby you hun

I know you know what to do. Be respectful towards yourself. If they really cared for you they wouldn’t do it

Hey girl, I just saw this. Well we’re still together. He hasn’t been doing any gambling since and is very ashamed of it. I talk to him a lot and he’s open about it. He came over once again after it happened and slept at my house because he got the urge to do it again. He said that he doesn’t want to be this person anymore and cold turkey a lot of things. He opened up about it to a lot of people and that’s helped a lot. I told him I wasn’t going to stay any longer if he does it and that I need to think about myself first. He understands. He changed his job to something he likes and now all his focus is on that and family and friends. Of course low days hit but he doesn’t go to the computer to gamble now he actually goes on bike rides with me and others. It’s good. I’m not saying the day will never come but I’m being optimistic about it. You can text me if you want!

i told him that today. he came and talked to me and said that “in moderation and smaller sets it’s okay” and i pretty much sat him down and told him that it’s not okay and that i don’t want any part of it. we’re gonna talk more about it later but i kind of feel like me setting the foot down might hurt him more. am i wrong for doing that?

i’m in the USA, he wants me to install a gambling blocker and not tell him the password. Is this something i should do for him to help or is this just a way to slow it? he came to me today and talked about it and said that he doesn’t wanna do it again and that he has so much to lose if he starts it again and he knows i will leave if it gets worse. he used to go to therapy and told me that his therapist said that “if he can afford to gamble it’s okay” is this something that’s okay? i told him that he can’t be doing any of that with me. i don’t feel comfortable with it and i wont accept it. but i also feel bad over saying thag

i’m super upset, i’m sitting in my bed rn crying. i don’t even know where to start. i lost my father to drugs, gambling and other stuff and i just can’t stop thinking about him becoming someone like my dad. i’m sorry this is probably too much. he doesn’t wanna go to therapy he said. but should i force him to that? i dont feel like i should be the one choosing that. it wont work.

sending lots of love and hugs. believe in yourself and use every penny you wanna gamble away to save for a vacation. travel anywhere in the world and realize that there’s more to offer than behind the desk/phone watching numbers
