My boyfriend is 28, and he has relapsed a couple times. I’ve decided to give him one more chance, but right now I don’t even have faith in him. I’m already mentally preparing on what would happen if we split, which is sad.
Can I hear more about your recovery story? How long has it been, and what is the key thing that helped you?
For the third time - I found out my boyfriend is gambling again. Each time, I feel like we make progress but he just somehow gets sucked in. He even self excluded himself in the state of NY, but was able to bypass because of the prediction market apps. He was doing well for a couple months, but then he lost his job in the beginning of march and ended up sending his deposits to another account (I was tracking his accounts at this point). I found out last week he gambled his deposits away, and was lying about it to me (this was all triggered from losing his job). It’s not been two years of this. It feels like a cycle, and I don’t know what to do. Outside of this stuff, he is a really good person, and every time this happened I had faith he would overcome it. But it seems like he keeps going back to it.
Any advice?
