My name is Diane & my 1st husband was a compulsive gambler.................different addiction same result. He lied, cheated & decieved me every chance he got & I used to feel sorry for him. After 10 yrs of an on & off marriage I divorced him. That was 30 yrs ago. About a month ago he called me. He is now 62 yrs old & went from gambling to drugs. He told me he has now been clean & sober for 41/2 yrs. Boy am I ever glad I ended it when I did.
You deserve to be happy & as your wonderful quote says you are the only one you will have for your whole life....................take good care of yourself.
Noone will love you more than you love yourself. You deserve more out of a relationship than to be lied to & decieved at every turn. I stayed alone for 10 yrs after I ended it & then met & married my present husband. We will be married 23 yrs this Nov & I love him more with each passing day.
Love,
Diane
