This happened to me as well.
Ex Spending a lot of money that we did not have on gambling, hiding gambling. Online gambling. Then moving from one addiction to next with money needed for other basic things. Letting him know that he was doing this made no difference. -

Hi stronglife I’ve left my ex now he had over (detailed removed by Moderator) decades gambling addiction. It probably played a part in his marriage break up too. He never reached out for help ever…..but said with my support he could stop….. (I were grieving my son) he knew this. I walked away because I were sick of it with him same lines….he were on a good salary but said nearly every month how he were starting from a low base….he were edging his way in to live with me probably to save himself paying out his accomodation so he had more to gamble…..sadly its always someone else’s fault x

My ex has a gambling addiction too.
It started low level then escalated.
I don’t know how much he spent on it, but imagine thousands.
I had to go away for 1 night for (detailed removed by Moderator), he didn’t want me to go.
He told me to pretend I was unwell.
Because I stood up to him, he argued with me all night, I said I needed sleep as needed to be up early to catch a train.
He said we were over.
He blocked me, I couldn’t ring to see how my children were.
When I got back home, all curtains were drawn, house stunk of weed, mess everywhere, no washing up done etc.
It was discusting.
I had to clean up of course.
I found out next month when the statement came, he had spent hundreds of pounds in that 1 night.
When i challenged him, he said he thought we were over and didn’t care and was in a bad place.
B******t. -

Hi footballfan1 exactly like my ex blamed me because they were gaps in the relationship because I were calling him out on his behaviour I distanced myself from him….then said it were because I wasn’t around…..what matters?? Excuses xxxx

Exactly.
They are all so similar.
I swear he left his bank statements around on purpose, I wouldn’t have looked at them if he didn’t leave them in full view.
Then I’d feel scared and sad how much he spent on gambling that month.
Tried to talk to him about it, caused almighty rows, he said I was horrible etc..
Complete nightmare

My ex spent thousands and thousands luckily I’d no ties to him and didn’t live with him. He were trying to live with me…. probably so it were cheaper. I’d a great salary too if you’ve decades of addiction it’s unlikely of change….. he wanted me to support him whilst grieving my son x*x

You did well not to get caught in his trap and let him move in.
I’m sane with the going places, we hardly did anything, couldn’t afford it.
I’ve only ever been abroad once in my life.It’s discusting he wanted you to support him whilst going through that kind of bereavement.
Their can’t be anything worse than losing a child.
You are so brave getting through all that.
X*x

It’s truly horrific what he put you through.
You are extremely brave and strong, please feel proud of yourself, you really deserve to feel pride about yourself.
Take care of yourself and your sons, you can have an amazing life x*x
