Hi , so basically my partner has been gambling every single week hundreds of pounds and I was so naive to believe he hadn't been. I thought he had stopped YEARS ago. I dont know why I had never questioned him about where his money was going when I should've been, there has been some weeks where I didn't have enough money for dinner for myself and my child so I went without as my money is pretty basic and I have to pay a lot of our household bills as he had always told me he had this that and the other to pay for (that never had anything to do with our actual house). He works away and is home at the weekends therefore it's hard for me to even notice if he had been gambling..he is a very hard worker and earns an excellent wage , but I feel like every single last dime I own is to support my child... I never have anything to myself any week.. which is sad . The good thing though is that he actually told me this time that he has been gambling, I feel like that is maybe a step in the right direction? Well hoping so anyways.. but I've been here before so I'm anxious at the same time. His mum met up with me yesterday , she more or less said "we are Never going to last" , which to be honest really pissed me off, I want us to last , I love him so much... but I know if this keeps happening we will never have a bright future. He could've helped save for a good deposit for a house , we could've got married and so on.. but this gambling addiction has put everything on hold. He has went and barred himself from bookies and all online gambling apps yesterday.. so I was happy with that. Does anyone know the next steps or have any guidance for me even as I feel a bit betrayed and I don't want this to ruin us . I haven't read over this as it's too long so hopefully it makes sense
