Hi velvet,
Thank you very much for replying. Its a great comfort knowing someone is listening, and understands!
He has acknowledged he has a problem, but I’m not sure if he really believes it; he carries on gambling and doesn’t do anything about it, but does say its a problem, doesn’t know why he does it, plays catch up etc.. Says “he slipped up”
He has lost a house in the past and has old debts, mainly due to gambling or just generally being bad with money..
I have a very supportive family, they are still young and have families of their own so I don’t get to see them loads but they’re always there to listen (something my partner finds hard to understand; that I go to them when things like this happen) I think this is the last straw for my mum, she has had enough as far as the gambling is concerned.
We were due to get married this year and I can’t help bit feel so hurt and angry that he could do this again behind my back on the run up to our wedding, I’ve had to cancel it now.
He did give up for. A while, then started dabbling in poker stars and now he’s gone back to the bookies (as far as I know)
