Hi and welcome, If your partner is not actively seeking help for his gambling then I would say that he in all probability is still gambling and probably more sneakier. I am a compulsive gambler in recovery through GA meetings and the steps programme. Nothing or no one was going to stop me from gambling! I had to reach rock bottom before I got the help I needed and was ready for.I can only say to you that you need to protect your finances and your possessions with diligence AND MAYBE a Gamanon meeting would be helpful for you, you can find their meetings on this web site or ring the GA help line for information.
I lost a lot of relationships, friends and careers through my compulsive gambling and trying to get people to help with finances etc was only a 'quick fix'. The most important thing is that you protect yourself and realize that this is NOT your fault in anyway but do not be a enabler.
Take care and best wishes
Helen
