Hi DS
nYour boyfriend appears to have an anger problem and nothing you have done deserves the language and threats you are receiving.
nYou are not (and were not) his keeper; he had free will and chose to gamble which resulted in his losses. His losses are not your fault but having made those losses he is blaming you rather than accepting responsibility for his own actions.
nI could not tell, from what you have said, if he has a gambling addiction but his threats are unacceptable whether he is or not.
nAre you living under the same roof as him? I hope not.
nI suggest that you do not retaliate but remove yourself from his circle as soon as possible without leaving any indication as to where you are going to live.
nVery seldom I hear of threats such as this but generally the addiction to gamble is not associated with violence. A man can of course have different sides to his character and it appears that this man has a particularly unpleasant side to his.
nDo you have friends and family to support you?
nPlease keep posting and look after yourself.
nVelvet
