Hello, people... I have a problem. I'm in a relationship with a wonderful person, as they say on his hands, everything does for me and I love him endlessly, but nothing is perfectly perfect in this world... He has a gambling addiction, and that's his only minus, but as a matter of fact, it's the rather frightening minuses. He's betting on football matches on the internet and I don't think he's going to stop at all. He literally said to me "I want to stop, but at the same time I don't want to." I've told him a lot of times that he's betting 2, 3, 5, so at some point, they're going to be 10-20, then 100, 200, and so he's going to lose the end, which happened a while ago. That one day he could drag me and his family, that our child would be dragged to this stage. About half a year ago, he promised me he was stopping. Well, you've kept your promise so nicely that you lost about $1,500 within two months. and of course, after I found out that he had lied to me a lot, I had a lot of ugly things, quite extreme, about what might happen to his life, and everything in order to think about it and stop, which had some effect... but not full. Since then, reduce the amount to 30-40-50 euros. per month, which I personally again does not suit me, because I know it is dependent and pushes it from the inside to do it again and again and at some point, I am almost convinced that it will be thrown out again and start betting large amounts. He does not really know that I follow him (I know his password on this particular site). It's the only thing I lie to him about and hide him, but I'm doing it for his own good... and I very much hope that there are no profiles that I do not know about... Please, if anyone has been in a similar situation, give me some advice. I don't know what to say to him, how to talk to him, so he can really hear it, stop. I know gambling is a disease, and I want to help him outlive it. I know you'd tell me to leave it, but would you since you've got it all? Since outside of this topic you do not even quarrel with this person, since among other things you are and as best friends and you are everything? I'd leave it if things get really extreme, but at this point, I just want to help him, not because I'm annoyed by it, but because I don't want him to ruin his life. Because he's young because he's a good man and he can achieve a lot, and that's what keeps pulling him back! We're both students if age matters. Thank you!
