My husband has been a gambler for 10 years. In the past he has spent the money meant for bills at the TAB instead. He even once took the money from petty cash at work & gambled that away too.

I have finally woken to the fact that my husband is a gambler and coming home from work I have held him why he cry's in my arms as he doesn't know why he does.

In response to everyone, I am also married to a gambler. I saw that there is a pattern going on emotionally between him and I.

Being the partner of a gambler can be both stressful and heartbreaking. His gambling had begun well before I was on the scene and he hid it well.

How can our credit institutions give people credit without due diligence. My spouse has run up debts on credit cards worth $36,000 and she only earns $42,000?

My husband has a gambling problem. I always knew that he liked to bet, but it's only come to light quite how addicted he is in the last 3 months or so.

I have a partner who plays the pokies. Before my relationship I never realized just how big a problem gambling is.
Sharing your experiences of gambling can help you, and help others.
