Close Gambling Addiction & Recovery
It has been five days since my husband confronted me about my gambling, I confessed all. Things are very stressed with us. I need hope for the future. THAT WAS THEN....Now, there are no secrets, no gambling and little stress. It's taken a long time but I think I'm going to be okay thanks to all the people at DS. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Close Infidelity
Four years ago I found out my husband of 30 yrs was having an affair, he didn't know if he wanted me or her. After a year of having the affair he told me about it and in time, decided he wanted our marriage. That lasted about six months before he was back seeing her again. I was ready to file for divorce this time but he said he was just confused and that they both new it would never work for them. So I stayed. I just don't know how to get past this. Help
Open Breakups & Divorce
Over the past 4 years my husband has had 2 affairs with the same woman, both of which I forgave. The pain and mistrust, however, would not go away. This lead to my gambling addiction. I gambled to avoid thinking about the pain, it was just me and the machine. My husband found out about the gambling and confronted me. I cried, said I was so sorry, and vowed not to gamble anymore. He has become cold, won't talk, won't touch. Yesterday I asked him if he wanted to split up. He said yes.
