He is a gambling addict, uses the fights to get out and play. He probably had this addiction before your marriage. He needs counceling and he needs to be out of casinos and gambling areas completely. Just like drugs or alcohol. He needs gamblers anonymous and you need to get your ducks in a row. He needs the ultimatum of getting help, no more gambling or it is the door for him. He will suck you dry, You need to think of your children, born and unborn. They deserve better and you do not need to stick in a marriage where he is not going to change. If he is truly willing to work on this marriage and his gambling addiction then help him while protecting you and the kids. If not get out.

PS for you there is gam-anon for families of gamblers Welcome to Gam-Anon.org!
