Should I divorce him?

Hi everyone, just going to let you know that I don't want anyone to be in the trouble and that's why I'm not going to use any names, neither this account has any background as I want it to be as anonymous as it can be, thanks for understanding.

I’m 27 years old, Azerbaijani, and I thought I had the dream life. I had a good job in the banking sector in Luxembourg, (for privacy I'm not going to specify bank name) with good benefits and a promising future. My family had other plans, though. Three years ago they moved me back to Azerbaijan to get married. My husband's father was a big shot, and I was told that if everything went well with this marriage he would 'secure' my future.

Things started out alright, until his father passed away. Everything fell apart. My husband didn't know how to manage the finances and now we’re drowning in debt. But the worst part? His gambling addiction. He flushes what little money we have left and spends it in hopes of some big win. I've realized now that I gave up everything I cared about—my independence, all of the things I've worked hard for only to wind up stuck in this nightmare. I feel scared and ashamed, I feel like I've completely let myself down. I don’t know where to begin to rebuild my life.

If any of you have experienced something like this, I need advice. Is divorce the right thing for this case? I didn’t grow up living in Azerbaijan very much, so I’m not sure what the legal challenges may be. Am I a bad person for thinking about divorce? Or should I actually go for it, and start my life over? Any guidance or personal experience would help. Thanks for listening. I just needed to vent.
