I am a married woman, mother of one child. My husband is gambling online. Every time he took an oath, he touched the Qur'an, but he did it again. Our financial problems never end. I am a working woman, I do not spend unnecessarily, I do not like wastage. After marriage, I had diseases such as stress-related body pain, weakness and not being able to enjoy life. I have a chronic illness report. Doctors say it's because of stress. Where did I go wrong and it became a burden on my shoulders?

Sister, may my Lord bring peace to you, comfort to your heart and blessings to your home. I think you should discuss this with a psychologist. If s/he recommends it, I find it helpful that you quit your job. So your husband can quit gambling because he won't be able to find easy money. May Allah help you.
