I recently found out my partner is gambling. I knew he did this on and off (we’ve been together just over two years and have a 4 week old baby), however I genuinely believed it was a few quid here or there. Turns out it’s about £400-500 a month. I know this isn’t a lot in comparison to some but with a newborn that could go a long way.
I want to speak to him about it and help, but I’m not sure how to approach the subject because I found out because I went through his banking app (so technically snooped) but I only went through because I had an inkling… turns out I was right.
We were watching a program yesterday about gambling and I asked if he still did it. He said he spends £10 here and there; so lied straight to my face.
When I was pregnant he bought nothing for the baby, we make about the same amount of money and split bills equally. Is this him putting his gambling before our child?
Please someone help as I have no idea what to do and I’m in the newborn trenches!!!
