My partner has just told me he knows I’ve been gambling because I failed an income n expenses check on a property which the lady I spoke to at the time said she would check again in a few months and wouldn’t say anything about my addiction if I got help any way she contacted him and told him back in October. He only told me he knew last Thursday says I’ve hurt n lied to him I’ve explained why I didn’t tell him but betting was is my ecaspe instead of talking about past problems n saying how I truly feel in my life . I’ve blocked myself off every gambling site n not had a bet since last Monday . Yes there’s been times I have wanted to but I’ve gone n done something to keep my self busy . I bet between 40-60 a month . I know I’ve hurt my partner he has now ended the relationship and said he will support me . I’ve also got my self down for some mental health counselling to deal with issues from my pastÂ
