Hi sunshine sorry you're here, with a newborn you don't need this too. I think now my husband was at the height of his gambling when my kids were born. No don't trust him. Keep your money separate, no joint accounts. If he's getting loans to gamble it's not good. Call gamcare get some advice. He needs to want to stop. You need to look after you and the baby. There are blocking software apps that you can download onto all gadgets. But realistically if he wants to gamble he will. You need to be able to tell him how worried you are. He will deny it, as you've seen, he may confess. I asked my father in law to come and talk with my husband when he asked me to sign a loan. Get support from yours and his family. He may be borrowing from them and will not want you to tell them. These are all worst case scenarios but also very common. The best way forward is to take over the finances, control his bank account or get his money paid to you. GA is a good place to get real help, gamanon for you. I wish you luck and hope it's not worse than you already know. Oh another thing, open all the post and credit card bills.

Hi sunshine you can still have hopes and a good life if he wants to stop. You have to tell him how you feel. Gambling doesn't mean they're bad people just addicted.
