Hi,
There is never going to be an easy way to tell partners/family but what does make it easier is to not just present the problem but rather to also show her what you are going to DO to deal with the issue. Note I said SHOW not tell. Actions speak louder than words. You don’t trust yourself with money? That’s fine, then get your wages paid/transferred into your partners account, It’s still your money of course but you won’t have easy accessto it, you will be accountable. Get yourself banned from those local casinos, get to those GA meetings, keep posting here.
You might want to show her this site as well, there is a Family and friends forum where she can also get support and advice.
Keep posting and remember – the problem isn’t as important as what you are going to DO about it.
