Hi NM
I can’t tell you what to do but it seems to me that you want to hear that your boyfriend is not gambling which suggests to me that you already knew the answer but wished that you didn’t.
I don’t believe you should live in fear and I really wish I could say that I found your boyfriend’s behaviour acceptable but I don’t.
Keep posting – maybe write what your boyfriend says when he surfaces but remember to listen to and watch his behaviour. Only you can make informed decisions about your life – but sharing your thoughts and gaining knowledge of the addiction will make difficult decisions easier.
I am sorry you didn’t pop into the F&F group this week; it is so good to talk in real time. Our Helpline is there for you as well, it is one-to-one and private. Use our support NM, you are understood here.
Thinking about you and wishing you well
Velvet
