Hello All, 

 

firstly I would like to say I am glad I found this website as I was feeling quite alone with my worries. 

My partner struggles with gambling and he was open about this when we first met. I think I was a little naive thinking he was all better and it wouldn’t happen again. At the beginning of the year I found out he had been hiding the fact he had been gambling for months and gotten himself into debt. 
I ended up finding out about this and tried my best in the situation I found myself in. I was very upset and felt hurt by the lies but slowly over time I got over it.  
we have recently moved into our first home together and he seems to be doing really well. He goes to a meeting every week and seems more open about money. 

I just want some advice from people in a similar situation on what I can do to support my boyfriend. I don’t want to do or say anything that will cause the gambling to happen again. I want our relationship to grow so that maybe in the future he can feel he can talk to me about gambling in more depth. 

I also find myself thinking about it when I’m alone and it gets me down and anxious and I would love some advice on how to look after myself too. 

thank you for reading this and if you offer any support I am very grateful.
