Hi Rupture
I agree that you should not be surprised that he is still gambling but sometimes, I think, it is impossible not to be amazed at just how serious the addiction to gamble is and not to be surprised when it rears its head again.
You want to believe him just as we all want to believe those we love and that is what makes it easy for us to be fooled over and over again. However, you are no fool and you will find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Things probably didn’t get any better, I suspect your boyfriend just learned to hide it better – but now you are aware, what do you intend to do? It is important to know what it is that want Rupture.
Are you handling the finances?
Sadly, if he doesn’t take action, then nothing will change and you could still be here in 5 years – I know that is not the future you envisaged for yourself.
Keep posting Rupture – the more knowledge you gain about his addiction the easier it becomes to make the decision that is right for you. He is putting his addiction first, so it is important that you put yourself first because you, your health and happiness, matter very much.
