I hope that Christians against poverty will be able to help you formulate a plan so you don’t lose your home. I’m the type who likes to talk things out also. Maybe your partner doesn’t understand how talking about why you gambled would be very beneficial to both of you. You don’t want to repeat the same behaviors. It is so hard to wade through the financial messes we make. I feel for you as I am digging out right now! You need to really think about yourself right now, your feelings and how you are going to handle things when you feel like gambling. Maybe your partner will come around and be able to talk to you about why you gambled. Just keep doing what you are doing to stay gamble free! Self care right now is what you need. Take care. I’m thinking of you and sending you positive vibes on your finances
