Any advice welcome 🙏

I’ve only been married for just over 2 years but I don’t think it’s working out. We argue a lot and we have a lot of money issues (mostly for my husbands gambling). He can’t handle his drink and likes to go out, as he should but I’m sick of having so much anxiety about him coming home cause I don’t know what state he will be in. He was out today and came home in such a mess and then as usual proceeded to find faults in what I was saying and started calling me names. If I was drinking the argument would have escalated cause I wouldn’t be able to hold my tongue but I was calm so I’ve no idea why he was trying to argue. Anyway, as we have money issues and haven’t been married long I feel almost embarrassed if I call it quits. We live in a small town where everyone knows everyone’s business. I have mentioned couples counselling to him before but he refuses to do it. I think he just doesn’t want to pay money for something like that. I guess I just wanted to rant but also if anyone had been in a similar circumstance and could offer some advice. I just feel stuck. I also don’t want my parents finding out about the gambling money cause they bailed him out once and he’s done it multiple times since then and I’ve covered it up so I feel like they would be so disappointed. Just not sure what to do.
