Tazman I absolutely agree with that presumption that 1 of 8 people who once gamble get addicted to gambling and become compulsive gamblersÂ
I know and knew lots of people who use to or who are betting just one once or twice a week,or buying scratchcards,or just doing lottery they're not compulsive gamblers.
I think it's truth but everyone got different opinion on things so I won't argue over itÂ

You've done the hardest part for making the decision to leave. Just take some time out for yourself because it can really mess with your mind not trusting someone you live with. It doesn't sound like he's where he needs to be yet. And don't just listen to the words wait for action. All the best!
@ser_430Â Thank you. It really has messed with my mind, it's not until I talk to someone else I can truly believe I'm not over reacting etc. He really isn't where he needs to be - and you're right I need to see it, not only hope he will say he understands the issues...and I almost want to put those words in his mouth so I can reason with myself that I can go back!Â
