Topic: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? - page 11. (Read 2111 times)

Every addiction can lead to domestic violence if the people involved are violent by nature. That's a very simple explanation, but 100% true because of its simplicity.
Just think about it for a second. When two people aren't violent at all and they're put to the test, for example one of them loses money belonging to the family, or becomes unfaithful, they won't get physical about it. On the other hand if they are violent by nature, a simple thing like one person being late can lead to a physical altercation.
I'm really surprised by the amount of bad situations people associate with gambling, when they normally occur in relationships where there are no gambling problems.

Whether you are addicted to gambling or not, there is nothing cool about losing of money generally for everyone but I think as a gambling person, you should accept the faith of your wager even before you click "bet" on the money you deposited into a casino because you are not sure of what will come if you gamble the money. So I think vexing on people because you lost money to gambling is childish and unprofessional because nobody sent you in the first place and you know the risk involved, you should be even ashame for trying to fight other people because you lost money.

This pattern of gambling behavior is not about only domestic violence, I have seen a nigga vexing on another close nigga because he lost money on some games, not once not twice but the worst of it is domestic violence on your partner, that look silly and if the man is from a high profile countries where laws are protected, he will be arrested and thrown in the prison for hitting his partner. He will do be better in prison than beating his partner that has nothing to do with his losses.

I sometimes see in the news when they write about some kind of crime related to gambling, theft, fights, etc. But I haven’t seen anything about domestic violence yet, of course I don’t deny that it exists and definitely it should be punishable and it is important that there are specialists who helped people get out of this so that it wouldn’t happen again in the future, in my country gambling is not very popular so this is not a problem that they talk about among themselves, rather it is more often an exception.

Yes that's right, if you are one of the gamblers who is quite active or even feel that you can't miss a moment not to gamble then it would be good for you to realize that if you get married in a situation and condition of yourself who is still gambling then it's better to try to stop gambling activities, you should be able to think that gambling is very likely to be the root of various problems that will occur in family relationships when you are married, not infrequently we see those who fail in their households, in the sense of weak strength in the economy which is the main problem and gambling activities will very likely be the root of problems like this or other problems such as violence that occurs because  you cannot control yourself when the situation loses.

Basically prevention is always the best thing before regret comes, and as you said that the opposite sex can experiment to test their partner by seeing how they react when they lose, but unfortunately not all couples can be open to each other, especially for gambling activities which basically have a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society. I wouldn't say that  gambling is always a bad actor, but most people always come with the wrong perspective and understanding that creates an ill-advised approach  to gambling that ultimately creates a lot of problems.

They are differences in people, same in addicted gamblers. The way it happens to a gambler could differ from another. Depending on the player's environment and the type of people surrounding him. A gambler who shows some violent symptoms is not yet ready to change or stop gambling. Those who don't are more remorse over their new habit and seeks help. Such gamblers seek the help of their spouse to help them out of the trouble. So, one shouldn't use the fact he's addicted to cover for his being domestically uncaring. It's a coincident that some gamblers had such problems even before gambling. The double trouble can emerge due to constant losses from the gambler's end. Then he gets sad and paranoid any time he remembers his losses in gambling. Which makes him shout over any little conversation that doesn't sound clean to his ear.

Surely you also know how interesting fighting and domestic violence are. But saying that if you gamble, you automatically beat your wife and children, it's unfair for you to have a little passion, right? Just like being addicted to football, you jump up and down to eat, but you don't rush to the referee's neck.

That doesn't mean ignoring the connection between these two things. It is true that gambling can create more stress in life, running out of money, and erratic moods. Stress, lack of money, irritability - if these three things are put on top, it can easily lead to bad things.

But fixing all errors for gambling is also wrong. Family conflicts come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from illness, poisoning, to stories of good wind and sweet morning soup. Considering gambling as the only evil is unjust, fight against the club that guides the real problems that need to be solved.

Instead of taking pictures, look at the problem more broadly. Gambling may be a factor but is only one part of the confusing picture. If you want to destroy domestic violence, you must understand its roots, from psychology, economics, to the living environment.

Those people shouldn't get married in the first place if they can't control themselves, men must avoid to hurt their spouses except their spouses cheat or did something that will ruin the relationship.

Women should need to test their partners before they get married, let them to play DOTA 2 and gambling, they will show their true face when they're lose.

Don't really drag gambling like a bad actor, gambling can give financial benefits to government, organization, and charity too.

Domestic violence due to gambling seems to be common in the environment I live in, some gambling addicts are even determined to carry out criminal acts such as stealing, robbing and many other criminal acts, even in more serious situations they resort to selling illegal drugs to get instant money for capital. they gamble

I agree with your submission. Whether a gambler exhibits domestic violence or not, is predicated on the fact that individuals are different and so behave differently. Naturally, some gamblers have anger issues and the anger can easily be triggered if such a gambler is addicted because there will always be a transfer of aggression whenever he loses. No doubt, GAMBLING ADDICTION IS NO EXCUSE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE as you have noted, but then, we shouldn`t pay deaf ears to the fact that some addicted gamblers have depicted characters which show domestic violence. Hence, it is my opinion that gambling addiction can trigger domestic violence.

There are many cases of domestic violence when people become addicted to gambling, there are even more extreme cases of violence such as murder, robbery, terror and even suicide due to gambling addiction. So don't think of gambling addiction as something trivial.

Therefore, many times, even often, all of us here are always reminded that if you gamble, you must have good control so you can gamble responsibly. because the dangers of this addiction are very real for your personal life and the people around you. So don't think of addiction as something normal, sometimes we think this is easy to control, even though if we don't often listen to advice we could fall into addiction.

As far as I know, addiction is based on a person's condition which falls into the category of loss of control, meaning: the impact that occurs in a condition of addiction is one of them not having control over the activities he is doing, for example being addicted to gambling.

In general, I have seen that those who are heavily addicted to gambling have high levels of stress or can lead to very high levels of depression, this will make them irritable and also angry, situations like that don't only happen in households, friends, neighbors are also targets of those who are addicted, this is a fact that has happened and that I have seen.

In other cases that I have found and seen, most of those who are addicted to household gambling end up in divorce and beatings, quite a few of them are dealing with the authorities for the actions they have committed.

For me, it still depends on the attitude of the person. Of course, we've already seen or heard stories of some gambling addicts getting violent just to get money for them to gamble. It's not uncommon but at the same time, not common to all gambling addicts. I think regardless of how addicted you are in gambling, if a person has this tendencies of being violent, he can beat someone for gambling. But there are people who doesn't have that kind of characteristics even if they're addicted to gambling. They will just find ways to get money, like borrowing or make themselves look pity to other people, but not through violence.

Even if there's no sign of addiction, you can notice small actions of a person, whether he has a tendencies of being violent or not. And their addiction just triggers them to become more violent.

Addicted gamblers are just desperate to make money, and when they are losing constantly, they get annoyed, and any slight misunderstanding that they have with people, they will end up losing their temper. I have visited many physical gambling shops, and I noticed that people do end up fighting easily, and most of those people are just addicted gamblers. When some addicted gamblers lose a lot of money, when they get home, they do end up transferring their aggression to their wives and children. After some losses, they will end up getting themselves drunk just to forget about the amount they lost.

Gambling can be responsible for causing domestic violence, especially when a gambler puts pressure on his family to manage gambling money, which is a form of domestic violence. Moreover, stress on dowry due to gambling and abuse of women is one of the main examples of domestic violence which is seen to occur regularly due to gambling. I have seen horrific scenes of violence against women in my area due to gambling earlier where wife is abused to manage gambling money which is one of the examples of domestic violence. Rural areas have the highest incidence of domestic violence in offline gambling and family violence reflects heavily on the children of the family.

I would agree that any form of addiction can lead to violence. I have a friend who ended up stealing funds just to satisfy his gambling addiction which obviously ended up with him being inside the jail. If an addict can't satisfy his needs most become violent and aggressive out of frustration. That's why we must take everything into moderation, anything that is too much is not good. Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment not a means to destroy us as a person.

I think that gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence based on the type of person the gambler is,if he is an aggressive type of person by nature chances are high that his aggressiveness will lead to further such type and become violence with the passing of time if the gambler loses in continuity and cannot support such happening.There are even worse situations when the gambler is a sore loser and does not accept loss which may further aggravate the situation in big domestic violence.This is different if the gambler is a good quiet person by nature,this thing even if he gets addicted will not happen and I talk by my personal situation here,no matter when I have lost big because of addiction that has never led me to even raise my voice let alone domestic violence,so overall it depends on the gambler's personality.

In my opinion, this can indeed trigger domestic violence, because someone who is addicted to gambling will of course have an attitude disorder, or a change in attitude and behavior to become a more stubborn person and perhaps this can also make them easily emotional. for example, when they have a good household before the perpetrator is addicted to gambling, but after one of them is addicted to gambling then everything can change, the main perpetrator who is addicted to gambling will of course prioritize his gambling over other things like those in another thread about a father who is more concerned with his gambling than his young son. and if they are addicted they will prioritize their gambling indirectly this will affect their finances because we know that gambling is not always profitable but always detrimental but if they are addicted they will not be able to leave it, well their finances will of course be a mess. also with the main perpetrator, if he has run out of money to gamble, he could borrow or ask his partner, whereas I don't think his partner will approve of this activity, but with the main perpetrator who is addicted and has a more stubborn personal attitude. of course he will force it and here domestic violence can occur.

This has happened in my neighborhood, there is a neighbor like this where the husband is always angry with his wife because of trivial things, and always insists on asking his wife for money to gamble.

When something isn't going right for some people they will change totally and possibly get angered, I have seen this in few people before, especially now that things are very hard in the country, everyone is now a walking hungry lion you don't want to mess with.

In gambling cases, many people have made the bad choices and that's because they thought gambling is the solution to their problems and yet the same gambling ruined everything for them, but I believe that those who result into violence have weak mind.

I have not once but twice lost everything, with nothing left to start with, but I stand for myself and slowly grow up, when you lose it will hurt but it is a step closer to your victory, take loses as a lesson.

People with gambling addiction have lapses in their judgment, their minds are clouded all they can think of is making money and how to be in casinos they are alive when they are in casinos, and they do not treat their family as their homes so every time he gets home there's a quarrel that leads to domestic violence.
Based on one report divorce rates for pathological gamblers are approximately 54%. and a large part of this is due to domestic violence that stems from addiction of one partner.

Yes, I think that it can show domestic violence because from continuously losing games, the beast in some men may emerge to hurt their spouse. But please note that. On the other hand, this isn’t the case for everyone because some men can lose a lot of games due to their addiction and when they are home with their wife, they just lay down, sad and depressed.

If someone hits their partner, it’s in them already, the gambling just revealed the truth. GAMBLING ADDICTION IS NO EXCUSE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
