Hi JLK
You have come to the right place.
Your post is brilliant and there is a lot in it but unfortunately I have just come home and it is late so I will not be able to reply in full to you tonight.
I assure you that nobody here will tell you to run and equally they will not tell you to stay. On this forum you will get information about the addiction to gamble so that you can make your own informed decision.
I understand everything that you have written and I think it is terrific that you have started this thread – the first post is always the hardest.
I am going to bring up my thread entitled ‘The F&C Cycle’ which I hope will help you understand some of what is going on with your boyfriend. I will come back soon though and deal with the specifics you have listed.
Well done writing this post, the first one is always the hardest. I hope it helps you to know that everything you have written is understood here.
