Hi Djp
I believe that nobody should tell you to leave or to stay because you must do what is right for you but with knowledge of your boyfriend’s addiction you will be able to make an informed decision.
Has your boyfriend ever sought help for himself, he might not be aware of the amount of support available to him? Maybe you could download the 20-Questions from the Gamblers anonymous web site and ask him to look at them – it might help him to focus on his behaviour.
Perhaps you could ask him to look at this site and maybe call our Helpline or contact our CG groups – everything we offer is anonymous and non-judgemental.
Whatever you decide, it is so important that you look after ‘you’ Djp because you will not be able to help yourself or your boyfriend if you sacrifice your own health. Don’t be afraid to make the decision that is right for you.
Please post again and let us know how you are doing. It would be great if you would join me in an F&F group –nothing said in the group appears on the forum, it is private and safe.
Velvet
