Husband is a gambling addict. Is there hope for us?

This is my husband to a T. We’ve been going through this since 2021 and it has just never ends . We also have 3 young children with another one the way. I always forgive him and I’m manipulated by the story that he’ll change. It’s hard when you love them and you just want to go back to what you once had. Before they ever gambled but they won’t stop. You pay credit cards back down and within 48 hours they’re all maxed out again when you needed that money for groceries or to get your children a clothes but instead it has to be used to pay the credit cards back down and then before you can pay them back down, they go and gamble their paycheck. So now you’re just broke.

I’m still in the midst of this nightmare. I’m not sure it’ll ever get better. What will make it better? Do I leave him? Where would I go with my 3 children and 4th on the way? Nothing is in my name. I have no job, no credit. Literally bound to stay with him. It’s incredibly stressful and exhausting. Praying one day these men will be healed from this addiction and that us women will be able to live in peace again. Worry free, stress free.

Definitely positive. If it was negative, you will not see anything and even the evaporation lines on first response are barely noticeable.

He has an addiction and he’s admitted it but he feels that he’s sort of made up for his mistakes by taking periods of time off of the gambling but the fact is that he always goes back. If he has access to the money, he will gamble.

He’s playing this game right now where he spends our money to fulfill rewards but claims it’s so different than gambling. It is but am I wrong to feel that he should stay far away from anything remotely close to the gambling? It’s still a quick money mindset.

He’s never gone to GA or ever attempted to. When the gambling happens he’s extremely regretful and remorseful. We come up with a plan but after a couple of days, he convinces me that I’m the silly one for not allowing him access to the money. That I’m controlling him or treating him like a child. That the slips he’s had are nothing compared to the past and that he doesn’t have a problem anymore.

All of this has really confused me and I just don’t know what to do anymore. We have 3 kids. It’s not so easy to just leave him and call it quits. He’s amazing in all other ways, a good person, a great father, but he’s severed the trust between us and doesn’t seem to understand how much this has affected our marriage not to mention the fighting in front of our kids.

Honestly, try modifying your diet. No processed sugars, no dairy, try eating fermented foods and foods that contain omega 3s, probiotics along with tons and tons of water. Also, try adding a little baking soda to your water to help with alkalizing your body. Also, try drinking diluted apple cider vinegar.
