Today, I was dating a guy for 5 years, and I thought he was my soulmate. Until he stole more than 60K from me and he's 400k in debt. He has a serious gambling addiction and his probably never going to stop. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend started a six month jail stint. The last thing he gave me was his phone, on which I discovered $30,000 in credit card debt. Why didn’t I go after the guy who went to dental uni? FML
Today, I got dumped, but not before he swindled me out of my savings. This done by my sweetheart from 16 years ago, whom I reunited with when he called me 7 months ago. I had no reason not to trust him, his brother has been one of my BFFs for 20 years. Now I'm not only broke, but heartbroken, and have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I found out that the dude I love has been taking the money I used to support him and buying heroin with it. FML
Today, I discovered my husband hadn't stopped his dangerous gambling habit, even though he'd promised to stop after I caught him the first time two months ago. I'm hurt, sad, confused, and angry. FML
Today, my "boyfriend" told me that he loves money more than me and would date it if he could. FML
Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost 6 years has put me in debt over $33,000. FML
Today, I opened some junk mail addressed to my fiancé and saw a credit letter about applying for a new mortgage. When I called to tell him his identity was stolen, he admitted he bought a house, and then broke up with me. I had no clue he was unhappy. FML.
Today, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me, just because he found out I scam people for money on the internet. FML
Today, my boyfriend of one year broke up with me. He's been in jail for the last four months. I paid for his very expensive lawyer. FML

I feel badly for you. I cannot stress this enough: gambling is an almost hopeless addiction. There is plenty of legitimate research you can easily find online. But you need to believe what all the research says: the chances of him kicking this addiction for any real length of times are very, very low. Please don't throw your life away thinking that he can just go to therapy and make an effort and then he'll be cured; if you do decide to stick with him, do so with your eyes wide open, realizing that it's likely he'll steal money from you periodically, you'll never be able to save money, etc. I'm not trying to be mean, I just happen to know something about gambling addiction.

if he stole $60K from you, that is grand theft larceny.

He'll stop. The people he owes 400k to will see to that. It won't be a nice rehabilitation, though.
