Hi Diego
Advice is often what we ask for Diego, when we know the answer but wish we didn’t.
We can only support you on this forum, we cannot tell you what to do.
Of course, your wife realises that you don’t want the casino to be part of your lives but that knowledge is of no importance to her as long as you are willing to accept the status quo. Accepting the status quo is your decision but it is important to recognise that a gambling addiction does not get better without treatment.
I’m not surprised that you wife does not want to separate when she has freedom of access to your joint account – but surely it is what ‘you’ want that should be paramount for you.
I am sure you must realise that your wife is not going to stop gambling by the end of this year or any subsequent year without seeking help; where is her incentive to do so?
Have you seen her cut up her credit cards? Is she doing anything towards getting treatment for her problem? I suspect you know the answers Diego – you just wish you didn’t.
