Claire's story

I have been with my partner for more than 9 years. Like others I knew he liked to have a bet and while we had separate pays and separate bank accounts I didn't realise (or mentally accept) how much of a problem gambler he was/is until we had our second child and we began relying on only his income.

It seems like every month we have the same fight over him gambling every cent away. I keep giving him chances because I love him and for the sake of our kids. The fact he refuses to seek help or change his ways means I am falling out of love with him and feel anger and resentment. I don't know what to do.
