    HI All, it is amazing to read your posts and understand what you are going through. I feel terrible for you and your ex…it is so hard to be in the thores of an addition and feel so helpless…I am so afraid to tell my wife about my addiction. I know she will leave me. I have lost about 30K to gambling and have been paying off my debt with my 401K…it is terrible. I have stopped and vowed never to do it again but I am not sure it is enough so I am seeking help here…I am desperate to change and make my life worthwhile again but it is very hard since I feel sick about myself and my actions…I told my parents and my best friend’s but not my wife. The problem is we just bought a house together and she has been threatening to divorce me for years, this will be the straw that broke the camels back..I am a compulsive gambler and I need help!! Thanks for listening and again I am sorry for you and your ex…I am sure he loves you but he definitely does not love himself which is first and foremost the only way change will happen

    HI There,

    This sound sterrible…I am sorry to hear its happening.  Unfortunately I am in the same boat but I am the one like your husband.  I have gambled away over half of my 401K and my wife has no idea…I am so sick.  It sound slike yoru husband is deseprate to keep things the way they are but doesnt want to seek help.  So I also want help and want to tell my wife but am very afraid she will want to leave me.  I know what I have been doing is terrible but cannot seem to come to terms with what is happening to me.  So, would you have left your husband if he sought help when he was knee deep in his problem…what do I do?  Should I tell my wife and just suffer the consequences…my wife does not really love me anyway…uggh…I am so sorry for you and your husband and all of us who get caught up in this shit…really, really sorry.

    Stan
