Hi Donna. I am so sorry to hear about your predicament. I have been with my partner 3 years and I have just found out that he gambled all his wages last night in the casino. He only got paid yesterday. Things are tight at the moment as I am training to become a teacher and now I don't know what we are going to do to pay the rent or bills. I want to help him but I don't think he thinks he has a problem as he only does it when he is drinking now. This is his view. I still think he needs to go back to GA meetings. He went before and it helped for a while. I feel so let down. Last night I had a feeling it was going to happen and even thought about moving the money out of the joint account. I felt guilty for thinking this and told myself to trust him. I wish I hadn't been so trusting now then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. He has no clue at the moment what he has done as he is so out of it. This makes me feel angrier as I can't speak to him about it. I was invited to go out with him last night, but was too tired. I feel that it is my fault. If i'd been there I could have stopped him. I really don't know what to do anymore. I would be greatful for any advice. x
