what do i do now   Message List

I am married to a CG, we have an 18 month old child. I know my husband
has been through a lot of stress. His father passed away 6 weeks ago.
None the less, his gambling and marijuana problem existed prior to his
fathers illness and I am now realizing before I even met him. The last
time I caught him gambling on line in June, I told him if he does it
again I am leaving. I have asked him what he is doing to deal with his
problem and he says, he's not gambling on line. I recently caught him
lying to me and gambling on line under his friends account. I have had
it, I am not angry, I know I can not and refuse to be married to a CG
and pot smoker, and that is it. I am done. My question is do I again
tell him that and see if he changes or gets help or anything or do I
just leave. I have a part time job and have found a little place for
my baby and I. I do not want to leave my beautiful home, yes, the
bills get paid, but I can't even look at him, I don't know who he is,
it is a toxic and stressful place for us. This addiction has taken
over my life and his and this is not what I want for myself or my
child. Do I leave? I really want to, I guess I am just scared.

Counseling for you is critical. Your ambivalence comes thru in your post. You are already trying to establish a "plan"or what to do IF he changes????...
