Trust is a vital part of healthy marriages and
the willingness to openly share the good, along
with the bad. You may be perfectly fine with your
spouse placing the occasion bet at work in a
hockey pool or spending time at a casino every so
often to play some poker.

But, you may notice your spouse is spending less
time at home with you, they could start making up
excuses, like they had to work late, or they were
just out with some co-workers for a few rounds to
celebrate a co-workers birthday.

The extent of the lies a person with a gambling
addiction tells, depends upon whether they are
actually winning. When they are winning, then the
lies may not seem that unbelievable or they could
actually even tell you the truth that they were
out gambling.

However, when they start losing and racking up
gambling debts that is when the lies start to
become more frequent and prevalent, since they
will not want to tell you they just lost several
thousands of dollars.

Furthermore, you could notice unusual activity on
your credit cards or large withdrawals from your
joint bank accounts. Initially, your spouse might
tell you they lent money to a close friend or
relative and figured you would be okay with it.

Eventually, however, the money and their luck
will run out where you could find out, so they
might turn to applying for new credit cards,
taking out signature loans, or even start
borrowing money from friends and relatives in
order to cover up their addiction.

At some point, you will find out. You might be on
the phone with a close friend and they ask when
to expect a payment for the money they lent you.

You could be at the checkout line at a store and
be told your credit card was declined. No matter
how you find out, once you do, it needs to be
confronted.

Your spouse could be willing to seek help for
their gambling addiction and make a serious
effort at saving your marriage. They might tell
you they want to get better, but are just telling
another lie to prevent you from filing for
divorce, too.
