I found out my partner had gambling debts, we hadn't been together long. He's managed to pay them off but through gambling I feel that this has only fueled his addiction. He says its not a problem and he's not an addict , he did get me to ban him from the local bookies and he's already banned himself from the casinos. I love him deeply but this has had an impact on our relationship and trust as he'd promised time and time again he would stop. I want to marry him but I feel this is out of the question.
Hi
There are Gamanon meetings live and on zoom.
It willl help you and make you aware you are not alone.
My wife told me that it was the lies and deception that caused her pains.
I did not stop gambling right away.
Just for today I do not want or need to gamble
Sorry to hear you are in pain.
