This week, Jennifer deals with questions from a worried wife about her husbands gambling problem, a partner who wonders will she ever have her husband back and a reader who is struggling with her cancer diagnosis

I always thought my husband was a financially savvy and sensible man. A letter he got recently has left me in no doubt that he’s very far from that!

I tried a calling him during the day but he wasn’t taking calls. That night I asked him what it was all about and was shocked when he confessed it was for gambling debts. He didn’t elaborate further and has avoided talking about it since then. It is sad, and worrying, that having taken that step he can’t now talk about what you’re going to do about it. Sticking his head in the sand isn’t going to make it go away.

For this you will probably need to consolidate the debt in some way and agree a schedule to pay it back. A debt counselling service can guide you through this process so please contact mabs.ie for free, impartial and expert debt advice.My relationship with my husband over the past 10 years has been rocky at best. For some time now he’s been having an affair with a woman who is 15 years younger than him and only a few years older than our son.
