Where can I meet a girlfriend? I'm 26 years old and I live in New York City. I've joined gamblers anonymous because of a gambling problem that I had up till about 6 weeks ago. I don't have too many guy friends who introduce me to girls. I think I'm smart(I'm in law school), funny, and pretty good looking. I just don't know where to meet girls and to maintain a relationship. I went to a cool 80's bar Saturday night and met some nice girls but nothing will develop and nothing has ever developed from that scene. Actually, I've had more success when I was younger in that scene, now I can't seem to get any traction. Does anyone have any clue what I should do. Because I'm really getting down on myself when I shouldn't because I have a good job (paralegal) and a great apartment and food everyday and I'm really healthy and I love to rollerblade it's just I have no girlfriend and it really really bothers me. I do have this one girl who wants me to be her boyfriend but I don't want to. I want to try another girl.

would anyone give their husband a chance if you found out he was internet gambling? I found out my husband has been hiding internet gambling for 6 months. he has accumlated debt now that I am upset about. He has never made any mistakes in our twelve year marriage, and he is attending gambler's anonymous meetings. Should I stay with him and give him a chance? I never thought in a million years I would have to deal with a problem like this in my marriage, and I am scared it might happen again five years down the road because of what I have read about gambling in the past few weeks. Do you all think it is possible for him to really stop like he promises he will?
How can I help my mixed up Husband?? My husband and I have been living seperate lives in the same house, seperate bedrooms for over 5 weeks. We do not have children, I am 33 he is 36, we have been together for 11 years. My husband had a gambling addiction and attended Gamblers Anonymous for 3 years but stopped going 6 months ago as he felt he could deal with it without GA. Our problems have started from there, he say's he is mixed up and not sure if he wants me and the marriage and to have kids or whether he wants to be alone and not have to answer to anyone. I think he is depressed as after 5 weeks he still is no clearer about what he wants, finances make it impossible for either one of us to leave, he has a 50K debt and I am at my wits end with it. I am attending counselling alone, he knows this but refuses to come with me, saying he doesn't believe in counselling. He says he loves me and always will, does not want me to move out but what can I do to help him?? He won't get help from anyone?? Please help me I have the option of going to my Mum's house which I really don't want to do as we argue a lot as mothers and daughters do, would you go there if you were me or stick it out in the hope he changes.
What is going on with my husband....? My husband is a compulsive gambler, as far as I know he is not gambling now. He did attend Gamblers Anonymous for 3 years but now does not go as he does not want the constant reminder and feels like he is being treated like a child at the meetings. He says his debt is reminder enough. 3 months ago he decided he was no longer sure if he wanted to continue being married to me or if he wanted to 'set me free' and not have to be answerable to me. We are currently in the process of legally having the finances sorted out to enable us to go our seperate ways. He says he may well live to regret his decision to finish our marriage, although he does not want a divorce yet but at the moment cannot put the effort into our marriage to make it work. He wants us to remain friends, says he loves me but not sure if he is 'in love' with me. Says the problem is with him not me, he does not feel able to put the work into saving our marriage. Have you any idea what he's thinking, please help. We have been married almost 8 years and have been quite happy before this, never any major problems. I love him and would like to make our marriage work but he will not discuss the problems in our marriage and says he just does not know if he wants me or not. I am going away for a week soon for some space to think. Will this make him see what life will be like without me?
Do you think this was the right thing to do? (Long!)? My boyfriend is going through a really rough period in his life. He's really depressed. He gave me a letter yesterday saying that he's blown all of his money, and pay on gambling which seems to be his only escape but it's destroying his life. He said it's so hard dealing with everything, and the guilt he feels for letting me down and expecting me to help him is getting too much. He's hit rock bottom. I left a note in his letterbox this morning saying that guilt is a wasted emotion, and with regards to me DON'T feel guilty - if I wanted to walk away I would have. And that I know I can't fix his problems and cure his depression, but that doing little things (like buying him food) to get him through is all I can do to help and I'm happy to do it, because I feel helpless watching him get more & more depressed knowing I can't do anything to fix it. And that there is help if he needs it, I wrote down the gamblers hotline number and also gamblers anonymous, and a free counselling service that he can go to. I didn't push him to get help, I just let him know what's out there, and that I'm here for him anytime. Do you think that was okay?
Help my husband is a complusive gambler I have searched for some online forums with no results!? I am unable to attend meetings in my area.. and he is in denial! From all the information I have read online.. he fits the profile! I can't discuss this with our families because they wouldn't understand. They would be put in the middle with his family hating me and mine hating him. I just need a support group to help me get through this thing...He gets angry when I try to reason with him regarding his spending problem and says I am treating him like a child. I am at my wits end. He is not only gambling with our finances, he is gambling with our relationship as well. I would like to find an anonymous forum for families of gamblers that could network at times when they need to...
