Default Re: Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.

Break-ups suck. but you're likely better off.
either you were going to do EXACTLY as your GF wanted in virtually all respects or this relationship was going to go down the tubes one way or another.

If your Dad was even able to detect that your GF was overly controlling that should say something.

We are only getting your side of the story so can't REALLY say for certain....but it sure sounds like she was over-reacting to something that she's been almost brain-washed to over-react to.


The fact that the payments went up so much is hopefully irrelevent to whether or not you broke-up.
The other option is to stay together BECAUSE you don't want to pay more on the house.....and that would just be silly.

Having to pay more sucks....but you are STILL better off.
You don't want to have to stay in a relationship just because you can live more cheaply....and you don't want to have to stay in a relationship with a controlling GF who thinks your attempts to play a positive EV game indicates that you are some sort of addict who desperately needs intervention.
