They tried to make me go to rehab…

Today, my boyfriend started a six month jail stint. The last thing he gave me was his phone, on which I discovered $30,000 in credit card debt. Why didn’t I go after the guy who went to dental uni? FML

Swindling

Today, I got dumped, but not before he swindled me out of my savings. This done by my sweetheart from 16 years ago, whom I reunited with when he called me 7 months ago. I had no reason not to trust him, his brother has been one of my BFFs for 20 years. Now I'm not only broke, but heartbroken, and have nowhere to go. FML

Hey big spender!

Today, I opened some junk mail addressed to my fiancé and saw a credit letter about applying for a new mortgage. When I called to tell him his identity was stolen, he admitted he bought a house, and then broke up with me. I had no clue he was unhappy. FML.

I feel badly for you. I cannot stress this enough: gambling is an almost hopeless addiction. There is plenty of legitimate research you can easily find online. But you need to believe what all the research says: the chances of him kicking this addiction for any real length of times are very, very low. Please don't throw your life away thinking that he can just go to therapy and make an effort and then he'll be cured; if you do decide to stick with him, do so with your eyes wide open, realizing that it's likely he'll steal money from you periodically, you'll never be able to save money, etc. I'm not trying to be mean, I just happen to know something about gambling addiction.
