Personally I wouldn't put up with that I get it's an addiction but he has a baby and you at home that's not something he should be doing I'd leave him If I'm honest or at least sir down and tell him that's what it's going to come to if he doesn't pull his shit together x
For starters, I know how extremely hard this situation is. For him, it won’t be so easy to stop. My stepdad was a gambling addict, among other things, and it wrecked my mums marriage and our trust etc in him as stability was hard to come by. It wasn’t all entirely his fault, as addictions are hard to kick, but he also made little to no effort to overcome the addiction. I wouldn’t say it necessarily points to him cheating, more likely he’s wallowing in self pity around the situation. If he had such a large win last week, he probs felt invincible, hence the gamble sesh last night lasting so long. Regardless of all this tho, I wouldn’t take it and I’d be having serious conversations with him around counselling and the consequences of if he doesn’t. Not to say you can’t have a life with a gambler but if you’re so paranoid on top of it because of his actions, I’d certainly be questioning our future. My inbox is always open if you need to vent.

@Courtney thank you I told him I wasn’t bothered about the money as I said because in my mind I knew he would do this I didn’t tell him that and I tried to support him the best I could but I have got extreme paranoia because of what he’s done before it got so much worse after the birth of our boy he says he wouldn’t even think about that right now but when I text him and say I’m worried your doing shit he just texts I’m not idk I’m so stressed and worried I’ve thrown up 9 times and I have a banging headache
To add we have a 9 month old boy together and I’m carrying he’s baby
