Hi Mil

As Ally said, please reach out and talk to the advisors on here as they can give some very good advice and support for you.

The trust can be rebuilt if you want to stay together and I know that sounds tough right now. Has he tried GA ?

My partner took my bank card several weeks ago and spent £200.00 gambling in the local betting shop. I felt utterly betrayed, I did get the money back and we spilt up.

We've started to talk last weekend and he wants to try again but I'm just so unsure what to do. I've not shared with my family and friends were talking and I feel like I'm lieing to them. I have major trust issues following my late mam's death and her partner financially abusing her
