Hi
A lot of people come to these diaries and state their only option is to hide the truth from their loved one(s).
So, if anyone has successfully covered up, got away with it and now has a happy relationship, I would like to hear from you. Secrecy is a common tactic on these boards, so, surely there must be some people in this situation who have pulled through and their secrecy has been vindicated. I know this is a bit arbitrary, but to qualify, you have to have had a) a fair bit of debt before your last bet and, b) have stopped for 2 years and c) be in a generally happy and committed relationship (again, highly subjective) with the same person you were in a relationship with before you stopped gambling.
Would be interested to hear any stories about the practicalities involved, as well as how people coped emotionally. Could reassure and allow others to hone their skills.
Thanks
Louis
Lol brilliant!!
A short thread me thinks.
Very well put. Would be very surprised to see any successful posts in those conditions you mentioned
Mmmm. Could we also have a follow up report as to what happened to their relationship when eventually the former gambling activities did come to light?

I thought you were one, HL, am almost disappointed.
Affected by gambling?
Looking for support?
