Is there anything more I can do?

@caw91

Sorry to hear this @caw91 judging by your comments it sounds like you are going above and beyond with the support, encouragement and trust you are bestowing to your partner. I don't believe it's fair to tell you what you should be doing as all of us suffering with a gambling addictions are different and each personality has a bespoke way of dealing with it. What I can say is he is a grown up with a conscious and responsibility, he has to accept it is unacceptable behaviour to spend bill money particularly if it has in impact on the household. I the past I have gambled all of my rent and priority bill money, it took someone to tell me it was unacceptable before the penny dropped. If you do decide to tell him, please be very tactful and non aggressive ? an argument is the last thing you need.

Hi if you lend him the money you are enabling him. It’s his responsibility. It’s not ok to gamble your bill money and if he never learns the consequences he never learns to deal with his addiction. Stopping gambling has nothing to do with someone doling out money. It’s about taking responsibility. It’s about not gambling at all, limits don’t work.

It's commendable that your partner has been transparent about his gambling problem and has taken steps to address it. However, his recent relapse indicates a need for further support. To handle this situation effectively, encourage him to seek professional help, such as therapy or support groups specifically for gambling addiction. At the same time, maintain open communication without enabling his behavior. Make it clear that while you support him, his actions must have consequences, and continue managing his finances with more stringent measures, such as a joint account for bills.
