My story is somewhat similar with you in a sense that we both had a gambling husband. But my case is somewhat different in a sense that for almost three years i didnt had an idea that he was gambling. Until out married life just got worsed that i only knew from his friend that he was hooked to gambling. Before I decided to leave him, i was suspecting that he was cheating. He always comes very late at night and sometimes doesnt come home, like for 1 day or 2. He was able to make me believe that its all because his work demands. Our finances got worse because he said its because of our failing business. We always had a fight but after that...due to so much trust in him I would end up submitting to him...believing every words he say. When i think about it now, I knew I was just actually in a state of denial at that time. When I learned the truth about everything...his gambling activies...until such time that I even got to know about his having an affair with someone...I decided to leave him with my son. Now I felt im totally saved and free. I admire u for being so broad for your husband. My story is somewhat similar with you in a sense that we both had a gambling husband.

I'm not sure what "reporting" would do though? Unless he has put himself or someone else in danger, psychological help cannot be mandatory. As in any addiction situation, the person addicted has to really want to stop deep down in their heart. I do believe Q is on the right track or we still wouldn't be living under the same roof.
