He was my first boyfriend and I his first as well. We kind of grew up together in the sense of going through college, and work for the last 5 years. Both clingy and very similar personalities. We've seen each other pretty much every day for the last 5 years except for minor fights that last at most 4 days. 

I have a huge issue with gambling. My family was broken because of my dads continuous gambling habits and my mum has now got a huge mortgage cause he kept lying to her and being how trusting she is, she just signed whatever papers he gave her which accumulated the mortgage. I understand social gambling and it's kind of normal in society. Still hate it but can accept. My BF knows my hatred of gambling and knows a lot more details about my parents history and stuff. 

I found out he'd been betting online very frequently (multiple times daily) online on sports last year. I confronted him because I believed we can talk and communicate about anything. He promised he'd stop because it upset me so much. 

Last week I found out that he hadn't stopped. 

He said he was sorry and ashamed etc the first night. I told him I wanted him to show me he can change. It's the first promise he's broken. He hasn't contacted me all week and I know he's just been playing games the whole time.

Does he just not care about me? Is it time to break up?
