Hi Logic, so glad you had a good holiday and managed to (mostly) but your concerns about your cg to one side, baby steps in the right direction for you both by the sound of it.
I am sure that I don’t have to tell you that having ‘little bets’ isn’t possible for a CG and it will always come back and bit them on the bum! However I am glad he is enjoying things outside of gambling more and able to treat you (hopefully not from his ‘winnings’). Realising all the positive in their lives and rekindling and deepening personal relationships can really help with moving forward so fingers crossed. I have to ask though if he hates gambling and wants to give it up then why is he entertaining it still?
I hope you will be able to stay in the ‘zone’ after your holiday and worry a little less and enjoy your life a little more. Have a good date night and keep taking care of YOU. It was a long hard road for me and my CG but it was only by making the right (though often hard) choices for me that the relationship is where it is now which tbh is far more than I ever would of expected back then.
