how much can you support an addict? I’ve been by my partners side picking up the pieces for 8 years. I finally thought he was on the right path and after 18 months of being gamble free, he’s gone right back to it, not just one lapse but he won’t stop, every opportunity he has he will gamble. He now won’t have an honest conversation with me, he will lie through his teeth telling me he’s put blocks in place but he hasn’t.
I’m actually so sick of him and his behaviour. Ive been actively taking steps to support him because this is what HE wanted me to do yet he still continues to lose control over and over again, it all just feels a waste. I’ve tried my best to understand this is a disease but he tells me one thing and does another.
I don’t know how much longer I can put up with it.
