Is he ready to stop?

Hello, I’ve been with my partner for 6 years. 

In 2023 he revealed he had a gambling problem and his mother bailed him out by taking out a 0% loan and paying off his debt. He then paid her each month until the loan was repaid. At the time he was very emotional and seemed remorseful. He finished paying his mother last year.

This year he revealed that he had started gambling again before Christmas of last year and was in debt of £13k with four loans that had an APR of over 1200%. He’d taken out 15 loans and/or credit cards during a period of a few months. Once again, his parents have taken out a loan which he will pay back. 

I have my own thoughts of his parents doing this and whether he is truly facing the consequences, but I’m more concerned about whether he’s ready to face the fact he has an addiction and needs help. 

Firstly, he told me about the relapse around March this year but continued to gamble until May. He also initially told me the debt was 2-3k which it obviously is not. More worryingly he continues to use the free bets provided by gambling sites and doesn’t see any issue with this as it’s ’Free Money’. When I suggest he engages with specialist support - whether a therapy/CBT or GA he says that he doesn’t need help stopping because ‘he did it before’ - to which I’ve highlighted that he did not remain bet free and perhaps that shows he needs external help. 

I’m not convinced he is fully accepting the situation and I am concerned he will just start betting again. I have had experience myself of AA so I know how tricky addiction can be, but I do want to start to settle into life, look at property and maybe start a family, but I feel completely unable and uncomfortable doing this with him and I’m thinking of ending the relationship. 

Am I being too harsh? Or does it sound like perhaps he’s not hit his rock bottom?
