My husband gambles

I have been in a relationship with a Muslim man for 6 years and we are married by an Imam but not by law. We are currently located in US and we have a preschool age son. My husband has gambled off and on for awhile and both he and I know it is haram. I am a recent revert so I am new to the religion but I do know gambling is a no no and I have stopped ever since I have taken the shahada.

my husband rejects the idea of joint bank accounts

I’ve been married for about a year and my husband has just now told me that he will not entertain the idea of having a joint bank account or even a joint credit card. He did not tell me this before we got married and before I agreed to stay home and care for the children. Now we have a child together, but this new information puts things in a whole new perspective.
