So it's been less than 24 hours and he's done it again, and now he's refusing to come home. I know he's ashamed, but why can't he see that staying away is making things much worse. I'm not an ogre and all i want is to get him help so we can have a healthy happy relationship again. I'm heart broken.
Hello there,
It sounds like you are trying on your own to make things better. Although you are not giving out much detail here, it sounds like your partner in not ready to face their gambling problem. It's not about you but about their readiness to stop. Please, do not blame yourself for this and focus on your well-being. Your partner needs to ask for help and until then you need to look after yourself. Our lines are open from 8am until midnight 7 days a week. You are welcome to get in touch with an adviser and get another perspective on this. Do not suffer in silence.
