A few weeks ago I discovered my BF had a hidden gambling addiction.
our relationship was wonderful from day one till day I found out. We never had an argument and he was always so kind and loving 2 me and my family.
he had being gambling his monthly pay and then unknown to me using me to sub him by booking holidays ect for the future. He also pretended he was getting money of me for college or other things.
I found out cause in the end he asked me for more money and when I said no it came out he hadn’t booked the holiday we due to go on days later.
i left him that night and he has sense moved out and checked himself into rehab for his issue.
we actually got on like soulmates and relationship was brilliant till this came up. We are both heart broken by it all and in shock.
could I ever trust or forgive  what he done? He has admitted his issue and is in rehab, he’s repaid me 70% what owed me already. He has not got a mountain of debt built up and still has a good jobÂ
however he never told me he was Also in rehab 10 years ago but admitted he never accepted his issue that time, he felt he could never admit his past of present that he just couldn’t face up to it then.
does he deserve one chance to  prove he’s changed and can mange his issue with help of his family who are now in charge of his finances

No,basically gamblers are liars,you will have more stress in the future.I think it’s unwise until he hits rock bottom.
