Hello
I have been with my partner for 9 years and we have just booked our wedding for next year.
I found out he was a gambler 3 years ago. I stupidly believed that he would stop the 1st time but I have watched him have many 'weak moments' (as he puts it). I now feel trapped in his vicious circle of him gambling, me finding out, him stopping for a while then it happening again.
Reading different posts has helped me to understand how he must be feeling but I don't know if I can live with this for the rest of my life.
We have no GA meetings anywhere near us, but he is going to speak to a counsellor, he has done this before and my worry is that he is lying to him like he does to me.
