Gambling Has Destroyed Me
- I have finally had enough of my husband's gambling. I have been reflecting back on our life, and am stunned how I hid the gambling from everyone who loves me, including my 9 year old child. What is really sad is how my now ex refuses to acknowledge that he even has a problem.
- I have a gambling problem, it has destroyed my life, I have tried GA and others what else can I do? I am strong and hate asking for help, so Ill ask my fellow yahoo'ers since I know none of you personally, I have have a sickness and everything I try wont break my addiction, my wife is on her last chance with me and I want to become a better.
Eye opener 
Now there is a third 'person'( gambling ) and it is tearing me apart. Each time I have tried to talk to my husband about his gambling, he has turned on me with such anger and resentment. He said the reason he gambles is that it relaxes him. And he adamantly said he does not want me to question him on this again.

Gambling Has Destroyed Meaning
Hi,I just read your story which has been a huge eye opener for me. My boyfriend has a gambling problem and kept it from me for a year until his mum told me and showed me the dept because she was worried he couldn’t afford his half of the rent and that I’d end up having to pay for everything. I stood by him and asked for honesty in return even if that honesty was somthing I didn’t want to hear I said I’d be there if he told the truth from now on. Another year later and I found out he had been online gambling again for a whole year, every single day. Even on our holiday! Which he had to of been doing whilst I was asleep half the time too. I was so upset that he didn’t say anything and yet I thought he was genuinely sorry so I stayed again and had to build back trust ... again. 6 months later and he’s hidden money in crypto currency when we are supposed to be saving for a house. I caught him watching it go up and down. He’s not gambling right now but doesn’t seek proper help and now just plays his game all the time instead. Reading your story has made me think that he probably won’t ever change as this cycle will go on forever until I eventually leave. I think he’s bored which is sad in itself as I thought I could give him everything but clearly not. I’m so low at the moment trying to deal with it as I do love him but I just can’t see this being the last time.
