1) Forget the gambling aspect of this. Just be responsible. As long as you are responsible, there is no need to complicate this by bringing gambling into it.

2) You can't do anything to make her want to come back. So don't try. The only thing you can do is push her away, which as sure as ****, you will do if you keep calling her. And NEVER question her actions, UNLESS it directly pertains to the kids. For instance, don't bring up the rap music thing.

3) Assume the relationship with her is over. In all likelihood, as soon as you move on, she will come back. But by then you won't care.

4) Dude, be prepared. It will likely get worse before it gets better. BUT IT WILL GET BETTER.

since the two of you have chosen to bring two other people into the world, i'd think the #1 priority is (or should be) the two little innocents that will either have a decent upbringing or a childhood from hell-that's you and your ex-g/f's call.
i also think therapy would be called for here-family therapy for you and her, and for the kids as well when they get older. people tend to flippantly ignore what's going on in their lives when it comes to how the kids will handle it-they'll be fine is what you generally hear. not so. you two are the 'adults', if you're not acting as adults, kids only get more confused.
at any rate, kids are here, relationship is a bust. do what both of you can to raise the youngsters-she sounds responsible enough if she's holding a steady job, and it's good that her mom is in the picture. absolutely protect your rights as a dad, as you're protecting your kids' rights in the same way.
as for dating others, i'd pretty much avoid other relationships, as you certainly don't need more on your plate-nor do you need to add more kids to the mix.
just my .02 worth.

by the way, i should warn you-these are morty waters. and i think i hear jaws theme music playing in the background.

but hey, welcome to dealing with women-most of them are a riot. i don't get along with many myself. i find them silly, dishonest, game playing, cutthroat, ruthless, vague and misleading. but some can be the best thing you've ever had happen to you.
like the guy in the third indiana jones movie who melts when he drinks from the 'grail'-you chose poorly. but it's done now, so take care of your kids. you, and she, can take care of yourselves.

thank you again...i agree with you about the misleading, one day she is seeing someone, the next she is waiting for us to work on things, one night she goes out and tells me she was with another man, then takes it back and tells me she was trying to make me mad, its a mess i dont know when she is telling the truth anymore, or when she is just trying to hurt/bother me
