Are their any other successful options? We have two beautiful little boys (8 and 9 yo) that absolutely adore him. He stayed home with them when they were little while I went to work, so they are very close to him. Do I go ahead and accept that we will lose everything and never have trust between us in order to not impact our children? We are now over $100,000 in debt due to gambling over the last year, since Jan 2006. Credit cards I didn't know about, money "borrowed" from business loans under false pretenses. He knows he has a problem doesn't want to do anything about it and if I say anything it is all my fault and all I care about is money. Please help me, I feel like I am going crazy. I loved this man with every ounce of my being until I found out about this. Now there is no trust and I feel like I don't love him anymore, but I don't want to get a divorce and split up our children. I worry he will do something crazy with the kids even if I did file.

do you get divorced -separated of your child if he is not the way he supposed to be? or you help him against everything !
So with your husband! he needs your help you are a family don't live him alone with his sickness. Ask a lawyer what can you do to prevent you from being guilty of what he does,probably you must divorce him on paper only, but stay together
Good luck

some of it will depend on what state you live in and excactly what gambling he has been doing.
You need to talk to a divorce lawyer. He should also be able to tell you if any assets can be placed in your name only, or is it all joint property. The same for any credit card bills or personal loans.
Some gambling debts may be legally unenforcable.
If he wont solve his problem , you need to be rid of him to make sure your kids have a decent chance.
Good luck

I stuck it out through my wife's gambling addictions. But we did not accumulate anywhere near the debt that you mentioned.
Good luck and get help for your husband's gambling addiction. I'm sure they have something like Alcoholics Anonymous for gamblers.

Do not divorce over this . You guys need marriage counseling and help and he needs to go find a gamblers Support group or something like that to help him get over this addiction and sickness. Does he realize he has a problem with this? Go to http://www.drphil.com and email him for help in this matter as well and see what kind of advice he has to give you.
