Question by Answer Girl 2007: Should I Dump Him?
My boyfriend is the best guy I know. I’ve never been more in love and more willing to want to start a future (marriage) with someone.

His one downfall is that he use to have a gambling problem. He had bad finanacial problems b/c of it; but is in the process of getting his life back together.

I love him, but he’s never seeked professional help. I’m a little concerned this “problem” will start again. I DO believe people can beat their addicitions, I DON’T believe they can do them WITHOUT professional help.,

What should I do? I’m scared both ways. I’m scared that if I dump him, I’ll be making the biggest mistake of my life. I’m also scared that if I stay, we will just ended up divorced if we get married?

What should I do? I’ve been with him for 3 years. We have so much love and so much history?

We are in our mid-20’s.
Please, no negative comments on his personality. He’s a great person. But, even great people have addictions. Addiction is a mental health problem, so please consider that.

I would advise you to confront him, tell him exactly what you’ve told us. That he is your everything, but you are worried about him. I wouldn’t break up with him just yet, I’d try to help him seek help…and if he truly loves you and cares about you, he will respect your courage, and try to get help for the best for the both of you and your relationship. Good luck!
