Chalk up another one for "stay out of it." Bad idea to get between husband & wife. Worse idea to get between same couple if an addiction is involved. She may be enabling him, for whatever reason. If so, she may regard your support as meddling in her affairs.
Also, a family member is aware of the situation. If anybody gets involved, it should be that person. And if she should ever question you about not telling her, you could simply explain that 1. It was none of your business 2. Your information was secondhand 3. Because a cousin was aware of the situation, it was up to him/her to get involved. You are a co-worker first, IMO.
Finally, DH and I always know where the other person is. I find it strange that her DH would disappear for hours to gamble & she doesn't know something is up. Thus - my advice for staying out of it. There may be lots more here than is being told.
