So partner of 5 years has always been gamberling but I didn't know how bad it was until he lost my 10 grand (took it without my concent) and his own 10 grand.
I kicked him out and he got help from gamcare and he stopped. Now, I've noticed he's playing "little raffles" as he calls them online and he says it isn't a problem?!
We live in a 1 bedroom flat because he's done nothing but Promise me we will move out but, everytime he messes up with money.
Altogether he has gambled over 30 grand.
During the christmas period, he also stayed up until 3am playing video games and and then was too tired to function all day. This, I think is also apart of him relapsing again as he acted like this last time.
I keep going back as I keep thinking he'll be that person I wanted him to be eventually but, I'm kidding myself and I need to move on for the sake of me and my daughter (she's 3 and a half)
He's 35 and he works away Monday to Friday in London, he's on good money but has nothing to show for it as he can't handle money.
I'm 33, I work part time and I'm in a position where I can financially live without him, it just meaning I won't be able to leave the 1 beded flat sooner Than I wanted.
Please give me advice on living with a gamberler? If he's having a go on little raffles, does he really want to stop?
Why do we think they'll change?
(Sorry about spelling mistakes/ grammar- I'm writing through tears as im so angry / upset with him)
