Search Results: should i play the game

This is bad... so his friend is a listened therapist. i just had a baby and now my boyfriend has spiraled himself into a gambling addiction. Its a card game (magic the gathering, doing play it...) don't know how I don't know and it got bad fast... like in 7 months it has escalated to the point of needing an intervention.

I don't know whats wrong with him... this is our first baby. He also gets very mad and I'm assuming wouldn't react well considering there's addiction involved. Its taking over his life to the point to where he's spending large amounts of time and money, neglecting me and the baby.

He played one night from 7pm to 7am and he had to work. He ended up missing his shift and waking up an hour later. That tells me it's more important than his job. He won't spend any money on the baby but i see him checking the mail daily and opening boxes of cards. Oh and to add detail he works with people who have addictions at his job... the irony is real.

We started dating at the beginning of this year, so it has already been about 4 months. We have exchanged photos and have been calling almost every day, we practically sleep on phone calls. We are going to start video calling by beginning of June and see what happens.

I have my university studies left to do for the remainder of this year, so my timing is not great at all. I have certain time gaps which I can see him:

End of June, End of October, November or beginning of December. I was going to discuss these options with him as he is also saving me money. I was going to visit him for 2 weeks and if things work out, I will visit him again in February next year for a month before I start university again.

I am only concerned about things becoming boring or stale, and usually the "honeymoon" phase ends at 6 months. So, I thought about June seeing him then, but I thought it would make a good test on our relationship too. I've known this guy online for 3 years now and we decided to take things to the next level. We watch movies, play games together, take photos and share them, we do a lot together. It is comforting.

I would prefer seeing him because of his own circumstances. What timeline would be best to see him? I can discuss with him later.
