Back in the 90s, Dr Laura said that 3 things break up a marriage, adultery, abuse and addiction. Sounds like it is time for her to leave.

[terri-leej]

Going through this now with my Fiance. I am hopelessly in love with him, and because it’s an addiction I am not mad at him. I am mad because I said he needs to get help which he won’t. I am leaving him, but offered him support to be there always. If he decides he needs help I’ll be with him at every meeting. But I need to be out the house, with my girls, in control of my funds. He can’t actually afford to live alone- and every fibre in my being always tries to save him. Someone once said to me, I am enabling him, and the only way a gambler gets better is by sleeping under stairs somewhere. I don’t know if I can let him do that so I am trying to help him with a budget and find him a place to stay. But I just keep telling myself that I am leaving him because I love him (and because I have to be responsible for the girls) but I can’t keep enabling him. I feel so guilty.

I was her, , I left that relationship after the bank called informing me about all the Line of Credit withdrawals, , , leaving is the only way for a new healthy start, ,,

Amy is a bright light and will find her way easy xx

[ropete]

Time to go. He's not ready to get help you can't just wait to see what happens. And who knows maybe losing you will wake him up to getting some help.

[conniehaywood]

Having a child will not fix this. It will only give him another excuse.
He probably is a good guy.
He's just an addict.
Hopefully, he will seek help.

[oliviaacosta]

Amy it’s over if he doesn’t want to get help. You need to save yourself first

[strnglhld]

Like Kenny said, you gotta know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away…… Know when to RUN!!!! 🎰🎲💸

Gambling addiction will never go away. If your willing to deal with the possible consequences of your spouse's addiction you can stay married. You may lose your house, savings, retirement, etc. You will be lied to and deceived again & again to cover up gambling. There will be countless promises to stop & one day you'll finally realize it will never end.

She deserves to be being loved thru her and which she is clearly not getting thru her and from her own husband thru her even.

[ithinkigottalent]

She has a great head on her shoulders!!! She came to the call empowered.

[thetruth]

She’s a strong women she’s like hell with this

I am a compulsive gambler in recovery for over 3 years. He has to have a DESIRE to stop before anything else can happen. Without a desire the stop gambling, any intervention that is done will only be temporary. I strongly suggest he find a GA meeting.

[jonnybike]

I live with my brother and he gambles at casinos. He plays poker and doesn't consider it gambling. I need to save up, get another job and move out.

[JamesDoukszewicz-mk]

I never got free from gambling until the day i was bold enough to call it a disease. Gambling addiction is a disease and only when you see it that way will you seek help. Every gambler needs a factory reset. God is our manufacturer and only God can reset our lives.

[bradleymaravalli]

Amy, once you feel safe, I would look into getting a therapist and dig deep into why you've been through one, potentially two divorces and how to better yourself in determining good partners for yourself and how you both can make it work. For yourself, for his-self, and for the relationship's self.

[tatianaallen]

I had a relationship with a gambler in 2010, pathetic, I did grow up in Mexico so I didn’t know what was that, leave this guy, the don’t change.

[donaldlyons]

I don't know a single addict of legal stuff to ever think they have an issue.... EVER!!! But strange enough most illegal drug people I meet think they have issues.... so not sure maybe my sample size is just too small.
