| I want to say thank you... ... to all the lovely people who posted in reply to my upset the other day with my partner and his gambling addiction.
At the time I needed someone to understand so badly that I pretty much just waited by the computer to get a reply (any reply) and then I pulled myself together, had a shower, and left the house... because... waiting for him to come home or call was pretty painful.
We had a fairly intense conversation about the lying and no answering his phone, the gambling is upsetting, but, in way, a side issue (not to say its not an issue at all, and we're working on it... I have our keycard firmly in my possession now and its not just in my wallet were he can 'borrow it'... and... he knows... for a while at least... that if he asks for the key card to 'by milk', I'll either give him cash or go with him, because, he knows he's lost a LOT of trust)
I think he understood this time it didn't just magically get better when he said he was sorry, that he's actually hurt me in a real way this time, probably because its the first time he's really done this since I've been pregnant.
Anyway, thanks again for all the messages, I do really appreciate them! |
