I am at this point in my life where I cannot make any decision and have to go with time I am going through. So we own a convenience store with family partnership and my husband gamble so much money that no one can even imagine.he used all the business cash borrow friend money and took out 80k loan.I asked him so many time how can he do that with me and my kids 6 and 3 boys. So he regret so much now and blames that he was going through depression and did not know what he was doing. I end up putting so much cash in buss so my partners don’t find out what he has done.he is saying that he will work hard and pay everything off.what should I do there is no way I can tell anyone this because of embarrassment.I can’t face the world about what has my husband done neither I cannot move on and forgive him. I have no one to watch my kids as well other than him when we both manage the buss. Should I sell the buss and pay off his debt and start over new life or just pay off by working there. There is no way I can leave him because I want my kids to have father and he is great person and father. It’s just one mistake he did in life.he is saying he will never gamble and I know he won’t because he realizes what he has done.any advice what I should do. my mom told me to give him once chance to cover the lost . I can make money all my life but I won’t get my kids father back if I lose him.what should I do move on with his debt and work hard to pay off together or don’t forgive him
