Hi there,
I am sorry to hear of your dilemma. I am a compulsive gambler like your husband.
It is possible to stop gambling ( very hard, but possible ). The only thing that helped me was my partner and family support. I believe there is a helpline or website for family members of compulsive gamblers. Maybe somebody could let you know what that is and that may shed more light on your situation. It is a horrible illness that makes very normal, intelligent people do unbelievably stupid things and however unfortunate it is that your husband has this you need to live your life too. I wish you the best of luck and hope that your husband really has managed to kick this evil habit.
