I have only just joined this forum after learning just a few weeks ago about my husband (newly married of 4 months) gambling addiction. I am in the ‘do I stay or do I go ‘ mind set right now, I feel so angry and hurt that I can’t even be in the same room as him. Reading your posts has given me comfort that I’m not alone, and I totally get that him recognising the hurt he has caused is a big deal because at the moment I’m getting the blame and being called ‘selfish’ for not supporting him. Anyway, I understand what you are going through and I think you are doing an amazing job. One day you wake up and think ‘I’m tired of being the strong one’ I’m not sure I have the energy any more and yes you become selfish which in itself is an achievement for us women who have spent years trying to please someone who can never be pleased xx
