hi , iam currently in £3700 gambling debt with no way out , ive hid this from my girl fried who i have a home and doughtter with for few years , the £3700 ive just got my self into , in the past ive dug my self out some how.
i know i need to tell her , but scared on how it will go .
i am basicly asking for advise on when and how to break the news ?
and if you have done it in the past how did you do it and how did it go?
thanks all in advance for reading and commenting.
I told all when it was too late. I knew what I was doing when I told me now ex I knew it would be the end of our relationship. Read the start of my diary and you will see why.
What I will say it was a major step in all my other relationships telling all i think it was the biggest contributing factor in starting my recovery.
Yes they was upset and anger but it passes in time and you can start to build the trust back. It has to be a better option than being found out. Like HL says show what you are doing to beat this. I would recommend telling as soon as you can it will only help. Also read loxxie diary for someone who didn't want to tell and was very much against it but took a leap of faith an it is paying dividends for her.

hi , thank you both . iam ok with money in my hand , i can walk into a bookies put £1.50 on the irish lotto and a £2 coupon on and walk out no problem.
its online , the cash out ect thats where ive lost it thats where my addiction is . especialy on a say night when ive had a few beers .
also iam already on a debt plan i contacted then anon explaind i got into overdraft and cc debt , and i should not be obtaining any more credit nor should i pay any off out side my plan so what ive done is also fraudulent according to them . so iam in a lot more trouble than i thought.
