Be genuine, and brutal
I met this guy on tinder, he does seem like a genuinely good guy
But he may have too many issues for me, as a mom I may not have the time, nor the mental compacity to handle
He's battling a gambling addiction, he has a lot of trauma he may not be able to overcome. He is seeking help,
However, I am a single mother whose been down that road before, gambling is a horrid addiction, worse then anything and believe me I've been around the block of my fair share of trauma, and all that.
I've been with a man with a gambling addiction before, and he would get really mad when he lost. Take it out on everything around, throwing shit near me, so when this guy told me I was a little taken back, we have barely spoken in weeks.
I don't think I can really risk bringing something like that into my life, even if he is saying he's working on it. Because what if he's not?
I actually may of found my answer typing this out but if you want to give insight please do

No. That's the perk of dating apps: you can pick exactly who you're going to date before getting too emotionally invested. No way would I chose to bring an addict into my life and especially not into my children's lives
I would still talk to him about it if you haven’t done yet like tell him you’ve been through something like that before and like set clear boundaries, and if he’s not okay with it then nicely end things or try to just stay friends maybe eventually it will work out at a later time if you see he’s really worked on it
You can’t set boundaries with an addict. I think it would be silly to see these clear red flags and still go for it.
It has to be a no for yourself and your children’s sake.
