I always knew my husband was a gambler but didn't realise until today how bad it has become! I suddenly feel I don't know him anymore :(( I've been aware of him going to the bookies at the weekends for some time and he's said to me that it's just a couple of quid so I've never been overly concerned. I trusted that he was telling me the truth and I've been trusting him with our finances.
However today I realised ALL of our savings have gone and the bank statement (of which I usually ignore) showed multiple withdrawals to ********* - totalling nearly 200! This prompted me to then look at previous months statements and lo and behold pretty much the same if not more some months! I feel so betrayed and don't know what to do! Please help/advise!
Just so you know i'm a gambler. I'm in recovery but i'm still and always will be a compulsive gambling addict.
I had to want to get help for my gambling.
