Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? (Read 3760 times)

Yes, you say it with right because we live with him/her and almost all of what we did, he/she knows and if we hidden our gambling activity, sooner or later he/she will knows. That can be a problem if we lying to him/her. We don't want to have the same experience whereas he/she lie to us, right? That's why we need to think maturely that we need to openness to our spouse. Whow knows our spouse can watch and always remind us while playing gambling so we can avoid playing gambling excessively. Besides that, there is no need to lie to our spouse.

When we tell the truth about our gambling activity, we can manage our money that we can used to playing gambling so our spouse can help to determine how much money we can allocate to our gambling activity. It helps us to use the money gambling and not disturb the other allocation money for other needs. We can also prevent addiction by always limitations our gambling activity and with our spouse, we can use gambling for fun and not for other things.

Greed is the only Genesis of gambling, if you include greed in your book of gambling, you will suffer loss and when you suffer loss, the same greed will trigger you to play to get back the money you have loss and in that process, you will lose more. If you are now more greedy, you will be tempted to borrowed money to get back all your bankroll and that's who you lose that one as well. Very cunning level that you a gambler need to stop but the gullible ones wouldn't stop until they lose everything, all the stage is gambling but they don't recognized it.

It's in this stage that affects their relationship with everyone because nothing matters to them again but gambling,  they don't have the money and they don't stop. This stage is always dangerous, some do regain their sense and stop completely and some do win bit are very few in numbers; gambling is very fun if you do it wisely but has its own side effects.

I have seen many relationship that collapse just that the man did not inform the girl that he is a gambler from the beginning, but the girl discovered that the man is purely addicted to gambling and it will be difficult for her to build a solid home with a man that is addicted to gambling.

If the both spouse are aware about the gambling attitude, I don't think it will affect the relationship between the two spouse because they knew that such thing is existing among the two partner before they accepted each other.

Yes gambling addiction can definitely affect a relationship and it does affect relationships negatively as It ruined many relationships.

Being an addicted gambler means that you will spend all of your money and saving on gambling nonstop which will only lead to ending up broke. A partner should be someone who is responsible and mature with his actions someone who can manage his money well in order to provide a happy stable life.

A gambler with gambling addiction could never really succeed in relationships, unless he lies to his partner which is a bad thing to do, relationships should be based on honesty and loyalty, so being honest with your partner about your gambling habits should be the first thing to do before going in any relationship,  because gambling is still seen as a bad shameful thing in our society, so in order to not go in a deep relationship that could lead you to a big heartbreak learn to be honest, but most importantly learn how to control yourself while gambling and take wise decisions.

After I understood this discussion, I got some meaningful lessons, such as a gambler should be honest with his partner, even though in the end of honesty you will not be allowed to gamble, but honesty is better than forcing you to gamble in secret without feeling comfortable.
Now we try to think maturely, if we are gambling to get pleasure and comfort, then why should we lie to our partner if in the end the lie will be revealed accidentally and we as men have to be real men who can tell the truth to our partner related to anything.

Because of all this, there will be a positive impact in the long term if one day you tell the truth about your gambling and are given permission to gamble. Of course, one day when you lose control you get the first signs of addiction, there will definitely be a partner who will help you get out of gambling in various ways.
There is no other reason than to tell the truth to the people we love rather than losing that relationship, it is better to lose gambling and we should not be selfish.

If you do not care about the person who became a gambling addict, it is an understandable decision, but most often in gambling addiction fall dear to us or relatives. To turn away from them when they are experiencing problems and they need the help of the closest people is quite a despicable step.

If I find out that someone I care about is having problems with one of the addictions I will try to help him, besides I always try to talk even with people I don't know very well who get into unpleasant situations. After all, very often a simple dialog can open your eyes to the problem and lead to its solution. 

And we do know that once that gambling addiction could really be able to hit you up or would be able to shackle you in then you would really be definitely be ended up on having that messed up life
the longer you do make yourself that getting addicted. It could really be able to affect relationship not only with your girlfriend but also with your family and relatives on which it would
really be that resulting into such disaster if you wont really be that careful when it comes to this. If you dont like on having that messed up life and miserable then better you should really be
that responsible on the actions that you are doing. So it would really be that better that you do gamble for fun and not for the money.Dont make yourself that getting addicted
and this is something that you do have in mind.

It's a decision to be made as the right preventive solution if you really don't want to fall into or get carried away with gambling activities carried out by other people or even your friends. We must be able to see from various sides about gambling, especially from the negative side or the bad risks that exist in this activity, however, prevention is always the best than cure because honestly I am not sure that you can recover or be able to get out of gambling activities when you are too late and get carried away, because as we know that it is very difficult for anyone to forget or ignore something that looks tempting in gambling when they are already involved in this activity and this is what makes it difficult for someone to get out or stay away from gambling.

In some cases, most of the people who end up addicted are those who at the beginning of their involvement are too focused on the "chance of multiplying", this is the wrong belief and trust in a place that has no certainty whatsoever, which will actually happen the opposite, which is where you will lose a lot of money instead of earning and this happens slowly and unnoticed by many gamblers, They will only realize that they are having financial problems lately, and of course the point is as you said that however gambling is more recommended to only be used as a place of entertainment by always applying caution, you will only be able to take some of the recommended actions when you know about how bad the addiction situation is.

That is very true because in a casino game people will be quite good when it comes to playing the game a lot to win, I would become addicted to winning, but since in the casino most of the addiction is from losing because it is something which goes against what we are looking for, normally things are focused on the fact that the person always seeks to gain or recover from the addiction and that although it sounds very strange when the person concentrates in a casino, time passes very quickly and one as a player does not know Realize, obviously when you have a relationship and you don't pay attention to the relationship, the woman starts to get upset because you don't give her attention, and obviously that's where the problems start because they get angry.

Normally it is the woman who always makes her not like those things, because in particular what I have seen the most is that, in that case it can be taken into consideration, one always has to make time for everything, there is no need to dedicate oneself to 100% to the pure casino because not only would it damage any type of relationship, but it would damage more than anything the relationship with money, which is the only thing I consider very important.

Addiction obviously ends any type of loving relationship, because no person actually believes that someone has vices, addictions unless they love it very much, but it is something delicate, now some people who dedicate themselves only to casino games because they do have to Take your precautions, because falling into addiction is a big problem.

Just don't get into gambling that much, don't give it too much attention, and don't put all your emotions into it. If you continue doing it, you could develop an addiction to it, and sure, it could destroy some of your relationships. For example, if your wife or girlfriend says that you are spending too much on gambling and it affects your daily life, maybe it is a sign to stop gambling. Getting addicted to it may cause you mental and emotional stress; if it is not handled very well, you may lose some of your friends. Always gamble responsibly.

Yes, you are right that gambling can be a temporary escape, but still, it should not be your priority; that is not your real life. What is more important are your friends, families, and loved ones.

Always gamble with the amount of money that you are willing to lose, so that you won't invest too much and will not care if you lose. This will keep you sane. 

That means gambling can affect to his relationships with his spouses especially if he lie to his spouses about his gambling activity and it is not righ to do that because his spouses will feel many things about him. In the end, his spouses will want to do something even if that means they must separated from their relationships. Lying is not tolerated so they should not do that especially if that is just for playing gambling. If one of those can't tell the truth about his gambling activity, it will gives another problem to them and it's hard to solve the problem when there are no admitting about their mistakes from one of them.

That's why when the gambler is addicted, he/she must admitted the mistakes and asks for help from spouses so their problem can be solve right away. That can breaks their relationships that they built from years ago because of gambling so they must solve it before the problem become bigger.

Definitely yes and you answered the above question too. But it's being addicted that can affect your relationship in so many ways.
I'll like to get something straight Gambling is an entertainment like you said and a game of Fun that's just on it's own but when you are addicted to doing that same thing makes it all bad and disastrous.

And in the long run the addiction has caused so much hurts,trauma and loss of lives to people around the addicted gambler,so many couples have separated too cause it was caused by more especially taking wrong decisions,not being able to provide for family and so on.
So to make your post look more unique I'll rather say Gambling addiction can affect your entire relationship with everyone around you

If a person is completely addicted to gambling, it is better not to be in a relationship with him. I try to stay away from people who are addicted to gambling because I know that gambling is an addiction that will destroy the life of the person who gets addicted. Gambling is ours.  Should be taken as entertainment If we want to take it outside of entertainment then our life will be ruined. The less time gambling can be played, the more we can stay away from gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction has indeed puts strain on relationships by causing financial problems, emotional distress, and social isolation. While gambling can be fun, becoming addicted can have serious effects,  like having financial problems and communication breakdown. To deal with the reasons of addictions and fix relationship, getting help is very important.

OP gambling is fine till a person become greedy about money and become addicted for gambling for earning. Problem start at this point. And obviously gambling will affect in relationship. It is so is usually that when you loss in gambling, you won't be in mood good. Something people lost  loss of shared savings, even they also loss money what they manage from loan or debt, and financial secrecy about how he could manange everything in upcoming days, will lead a Gamblers in depression and its common that,. That time he or she will. Become so rude with his partner, as well as parents or others known person

Gambling disappoints(IMO, most of the times). That’s true. And something that disappoints and quite consistently too shouldn’t be prioritized.
“Give priority to reality rather than emotion”. I think you put it nicely. We should always prioritize what we want and what would help us grow and be productive as a person. Anyone giving priority to emotions is in for crisis as it would run the individual to the ground and totally wreck the person. Excess is definitely not good as at that point, there is no more satisfaction derived from that activity.

Couples didn't practice the meaning of courtship or dating, which relies on understanding one another, asking questions or opening secrets. But due to the analysis of human behavior, one may not be able to discuss about every habit, experience or behavior they've got. Most times that person wouldn't have a reason to explain those, since they've loved one another unconditionally. But marriage proves them wrong, and the people whom the society thought they were deeply in love, begin to quarrel over an issue, that were overlooked while they were dating. Some people may accept the man gambles while dating, then once married they begin to disturb the man to stop. Because the wife's goal would be providing the best training for the younger ones.

As much as gambling is a game and fun to do, there are also some other sides to it. As you have asked, it is pertinent to note that gambling has its own side effect on relationships. I know of a man who is a chronic and addictive gambler who always quarrels with his spouse at night whenever he returns from a gambling house. He has sold so many of their properties without her consent and has gambled all his funds.  Some relationship ended as a result of gambling; although some were able to resolve and offer a solution to there gambling predicament, a relationship which a partner does not open up their gambling lifestyle to each other tends to always hit brick wall and, if not properly handled, could cause problem in their relationship as they live together.

Amongst friends, there is sometimes misunderstanding as a result of one discovering that their friend is a gambler. If it happens to be adult youth or teens, as the case may be, and a parent discovers that their child is keeping gamblers as friends, they will quickly restrict their child from meeting that friend and tag them a bad influence. In this part of the world where I come from, parents are fond of doing it. They are always over protective of their children upto the point of restricting their child from getting along with their friend's not to talk of when they found out that their child is keeping a gambler as a friend.

You should really be open to each other from the very beginning, because that's where trust can be built. It would be better for the both of you to know each activities that you participate in, so that at the end of the day, we can figure out a way to balance the time in the relationship and other activities.
it's hard if you get to the point of getting married, only then will you know what each other's vices are, and besides, it's normal for you to be open with your partner even if you're in the dating stage, so that we can know if they are really the one. take note, divorce and annulment is not a joke, so choose and know your partner well.

The gambling loss can’t be recovered in the short period of time,the gamblers can easy increase the ten percentage of the money from the gambling site.So gambler should recover the ten percentage of the loss in every week game.But if the gambler had the good luck in the gambling site,he can able to recover the fifty percentage of the loss in the single game.But the important factor is the gambler need to use the high percentage of money as the initial amount of money deposit to the gambling site.The gambler may again face the loss in the casino by the bad luck,but to recover the complete loss in the gambling site.The gamblers should have self confidence in the gambling game.
