My othyer half loves to gamble and go down the pub rather than spend time with his family. He will often lie about where he is going and tell me he's working when in fact he's been seen in the bookies. He know it a problem and it's causing problems between us, I've tried to talk to him about it but it often ends in rows. I don't want the children growing up, thinking this is the norm!! Really don't know what to do about it.....

OUR VERDICT:
Ok, well at least he's gambling and not having an affair! Not that we're condoning this behaviour. You need to try and make him understand this is not only a problem for him but it’s affecting the family. The children deserve a better example of a father and he needs to step up and start putting the family first!
Tell him the problem needs to be addressed and suggest seeing someone about his gambling and drinking. There are really supportive groups such as Gamblers and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) It won’t be easy for either of you. If you love him and truly believe you can work through it, you’ll both have to be strong for each other and the children. Do what it takes to make things good again, unfortunately you may have to be the instigator of all this, do what a wife does best and keep nagging until he cracks! If he’s not willing to help himself and things get worse, I suggest you need to make an executive decision as to whether you want to stick around. x
