To bad (or not lol) I am already married Cheesy

First of all I would like to point on that gambling is not a problem for me, so this isnt a "possible gambling problem". I dont think that gambling addiction appears because of person gambles to much. It is more emotional and personal. One can become addicted after first bet, other can start and stop his gambling hobby for years. I am lucky to find woman that shares my vision of balance. We dont bother each other much and speak out every single possible problem or misunderstanding between. As long as gambling does not interfere family, I or my wife can freely gamble. As to balance things, I dont bother her on stuff like spending money on manicure or other cosmetic procedures. That is just her, that is non of my business. If she wants to do it, then she is free to do it, as long as this does not harm family or lives.

I think that's the deal, communication. If you can communicate with each other on what you like and what you do not like and both sides could come to an agreement that could work for both sides then it should be okay.

I mean I have seen people who are "married" and literally live at different cities, it was definitely a difficult thing there is no doubt about that but their jobs were on different places and they had to live like that, and it's not like just for a few months or years, it was 14 years before they finally got enough money to retire and do their own business together. They said it worked well for them because they would see each other once a week, sometimes once every two weeks, and even had problems where they couldn't see each other for over a month, but that kept the love going.

My point being is that as long as you can communicate, anything is possible and you can keep gambling if the other side is fine with the way you are gambling.

Not only gambling can affect relationships. A lot of people, when they find their second half, get married, they stop struggling, like its is a end of game, they have achieved everything, they can relax for the rest of the life. However, while in relationships, they must put twice more effort to keep them. To bad few realize it from the beginning, and few understand it when it is over. You can replace word gambling with anything, and the answer to OP question would be YES.

P.S. A lot of users here write their post in gambling's negative context. Like gambling can only affect negatively. But it can also make positive affect. How many couples were formed due to gambling. And getting married in Vegas is already a cultural cult. I urge people to stop equating gambling with only negative things.

Gambling can have an immediate effect on family relationships, as it can cause internal problems and often breaks trust between family members. Problems such as loss of extra money, loss of social status etc. can arise during gambling, which can have a negative impact on family relationships. Moreover, when someone in a family loses extra money gambling and other family members find out, it can break down valuable family relationships. However, the circumstances of this problem may be different and the attitude and nature of each family may be different. Buying or playing gambling for your family members can become a public question, so it can be valuable when you are faced with such problems. That means it can vary from person to person and affect each person's life in different ways.

The problem will arise if a gambler does not pay attention to himself when he is gambling. It will cause problem after problem that he may need to be made aware of. And if the problem becomes widespread, it will harm him and the people around him so their relationship will become bad. When someone gambles excessively, he can use money that should be used for his family. It will disrupt his family's financial position, and his family will not be able to meet his daily living needs. So if someone cannot be responsible with his gambling, he can damage his relationships with his family and also the people around him. This is what we have to realize as gamblers so that we don't gamble excessively, where we have to be able to avoid problems that our families can experience.

There is logic in your words as most of the relationship breakups happen only because of the bad habits of the partners. A lack of self-confidence occurs especially in those who live together with families, affecting relationships the most, especially those in joint families. Moreover, quarrels arise between wives and children only because of gambling. Gambling is not only a social disorder but also aHas a major impact on the economic status of the family. Most of the relationships in our society are breaking up only because of bad habits like gambling, dowry and drug addiction. So to maintain a beautiful and smooth relationship, one must stay away from the bad social disorder called gambling.

Gambling is one of the key problem relationships face. It is even worse when the gambler is not living up to his responsibilities as it becomes convenient for the partner to blame his woes on gambling.

Yeah truly in as much as gambling is very important to most people but to some persons relationship it has done more harm than good because of the way some persons gamble, there are some persons that could sell all there properties all in the name of gambling.

Although it all depends on the individual mindset about gambling because in as much as gambling may affect some relationship there are also others who gamble freely without coursing trouble to there marriage, so if a man should gamble Responsivelly I so no reason why it should affect there marriage.

Even if it's not gamble related, I believe any relationship that has addiction involved there will certainly be a problem in it because the addicted spouse always tend to cause problem. A gambling addict is someone with poor thinking and this type of mind is not good if one wants to maintain a healthy relationship because a sound mind and respect is what every lady wants.

Respect and progress is what everyone spouse would want for herself and her family. Addiction to anything is bad and would obviously give a bad look on the family and a strain on it’s finances.
Someone with an addiction to gambling or other vices are weak minded and easily swayed by things around at the moment. Being hooked, it would be easy to overlook what repercussions would follow from their actions, and if married, this would definitely affect the marriage. Unless the spouse is an addict. Then they’re both screwed.

When you are not a responsible gambler, you can face any form of challenge from your close friends, family, and even your spouse at home. Gambling addiction is a bad thing, and not everyone can bear staying with someone with such behaviour.

If you have a family and you are working, at the end of the day, the family knows that you will be paid, and they put their hope in you that you will bring home money that will be used to settle the family daily expenses fee, but you came home with the excuse that you branch out at the gambling shop to try out your luck and see if you can be able to multiply the money you have at hand. If you did this the first day, the complaints might be fewer.

You did the same thing the second time, but with a different story. The complaints will increase, and if you are not careful enough and don't stop such a habit, you are likely to lose your relationship at that instance because it could be clearly seen that there is nothing good that could come out of you and all you care about is gambling and nothing more, and no one wants to stay in such a home.

Everyone makes mistakes and while losing money that was destined to pay for the goods and services your family needs is unforgivable, as long as this is an isolated event your family will easily forgive you as they know they are not perfect either, however if this is an event that keeps happening regardless of how much they love you such an attitude is not going to be tolerated for long, as such person is clearly failing their obligations as a partner and parent.

I mean obviously it could if you are not careful with what you are talking about. That doesn't mean that it will, it just means that you could be getting to a serious point where it may not be all that easy. I think it should be pointed out that we are talking about relationships in one big brush but normally that is not the case and should be very important to note that down.

I personally believe that we should not be really doing anything that is generalizing every single relationship that way. While it may hurt some relationships, it may enhance some others, there must be some couples out there who gamble together, and having fun with it as well, whereas in some others people break up or even divorce because of gambling. Both of those cases must be true somewhere out there in the world, which means that both sides of the relationship should be aware what kind of person the other one is and act accordingly if they want to keep the relationship going.

Allowing gambling to get involved and affect your relationships is bad and at some time it will be better if we don't gamble at all and just to sustain our relationships, and this is when your immediate family say your wife/husband so you have to let it go.

So for that, we need to have a basic understanding of our spouses before we decide whether to gamble or not and if your partner and family are okay with your gambling habit it then means that you may be free to do so and if the other then staying off becomes the only option.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain. When it becomes an addiction it causes financial strain the strain can manifest in various ways including the loss of shared savings, debt accumulation, and financial secrecy which may lead to strained communication between partners. This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.

When there is a breakdown in communication and quarrel about finances then expect that gambling is negatively affecting the relationship whether it is between husband and wife, friends and co-workers, when you only think of gambling and you allocate more money on gambling than what your family should be getting then yes gambling has a negative impact in your behavior and relationship.

In fact, this is the first sign that people will notice when you are too deep in gambling, you forget your obligation to your work and family, and you like to talk about gambling more than your relationship.
Even if you're gambling you need to prioritize your family, your family is everything and it cannot be replaced by gambling.

Quote from: coupable on October 31, 2023, 09:41:38 AM

I have many friends who have long become gambling addicts in a way that I personally did not expect. I can make a comparison between their personalities before and after indulging in gambling. The changes that occur in the personalities of gamblers can never be hidden because their behaviors and habits change to adapt to their new psychological situation, given that gambling addiction falls within the category of psychological diseases and all of its symptoms can be studied based on analytical psychology.
What is most striking is that spending all their time gambling makes them busy all the time and they do not have opportunities to pay attention to other things, and thus they become neglectful of themselves and their relationships in their small environment.

Honestly, it is easy for people to judge whether someone is a gambler or not, by looking at or paying attention to both the psychological and physical condition of the gambler. People who have been involved in the world of gambling for a long time will eventually see changes in themselves, such as appearing restless and quiet when they experience defeat.

Yes, that's right, I have also seen gamblers who are busy with their gambling activities such as online gambling, every day they are busy playing with gadgets so they forget and are not aware that there are activities that are more useful for them. In their daily lives, they tend to be closed and busy playing with gadgets at home, they rarely communicate or socialize with friends around them.

I disagree with you on that statement. Most everyone you see restless or look frustrated is actually a gambler. It’s difficult to really tell or look at a person through whatever means and tell that the person is gambling. Some have their individual problems that they are facing. So you cannot just conclude. The best way to identify a gambler is when you see the person gambling.

This is misleading, and it is a gross generalization. Not everyone who suffers from personality disorders, whether behavioral or mental, is necessarily a gambling addict. The exact definition could be as follows: “Any personality suffering from behavioral addiction is necessarily a personality suffering from other diseases, and the opposite is not true because not everyone who suffers from these disorders is a gambler.”
The pathological nature of these habits cannot be denied, and therefore this is the closest possible explanation to logic, according to what I think and according to what I have read in many articles and scientific studies that have studied the subject.

the one I witnessed was a man his wife told to stop gambling due to the fact that they hardly feed well and the little they have the husband will use it for gambling , so when she tried so hard to stop the husband and he refused so she had no option but to leave the man.

That's so bad. Why don't people select partners who love what they are doing? I see that some partners have issues because of the love their husbands have for football. If I want to get married today, I want to make sure that my wife is someone who likes what I like, and vice versa. Some gamblers are the reason why their relationships also get ruined, just like the example you gave. Someone who has family to take care of is still wasting the little money they get on gambling, and they don't even make any wins. They are the kind of gamblers that even stake on big odds because of their greed to make a huge win. I know I gamble, but I don't spend a lot on gambling; there are more important things to take care of. Even if I gamble, I will only sacrifice a small amount for the fun at that moment.

Maybe the reason is that before they get married, they didn't discuss each other's hobbies and vices? because for me, if I know that my partner is having an obsession in gambling which may affects in our future marriage life, I'll think twice before I agree on getting married not because I don't love him but I want to know first if he can sacrifice to leave the gambling for the sake of our future or not. I don't want to suffer to the things that I didn't do in the end. If you're partner doesn't want to change for a better then think and decide what should you do.

But isnt marriage or relationship is about finding compromises for each other, finding unite solution and making sacrifices. We are all imperfect. Ok, you will think twice before marring a guy who has gambling obsession. But he might also think twice before giving you a ring if there is something that does not suit him in your relationship. If your future husband must sacrifice gambling, what will you give up to make things equally? It is hard for an adult to change habits, and making changes "just because" isnt correct, as I believe everything must be balanced.

There's always sacrifices when dealing with things like this. Honestly speaking, it's tough to embrace someone with knowing that
there's a possible gambling related issues.

To be fair with your future wife, are you also willing to embrace a girl with a possible gambling problem? But, I like the way you provide your opinion.

It's a balance that both individual needs to weight before taking the responsibility. There's always a way if both parties will discuss and
talk about the possible way to balance their relationships.

If you don't have seperate accounts and seperate budgets, it might. Or even if you have and you end up playing from shared account, your relationship will be on thin ice.
I would advice anyone that if they want to gamble in relationship where you are planning purchases together, you might want to talk with your partner instead of hiding your hobby.
Because if your partner is correct for you they will understand and they might even help you manage your gambling, so that it won't get out of hand.

being a gambling addict will never be able to provide benefits for an individual, in fact you will only suffer losses. there are many couples who end up separating because one of their partners decides to choose to be a heavy gambler rather than looking after their family. Gambling addicts will always have the intention to lie, they will always do it in order to fulfill their desire to continue gambling, there are even many husbands who in the end do not give money to their wives because they prefer to gamble. Always make gambling just for entertainment, nothing more, don't get caught up in your thoughts which are misleading because of gambling.

here we should be able to differentiate between gambling and addiction. whatever it is, if you are addicted, the impact will not be good for yourself and the people around you. gambling will not affect our relationships or other things if we play normally and can limit ourselves. but if it has entered the addiction stage it will clearly damage ourselves and affect our relationships with the people around us, including our wife or children.

Gambling can actually cause problem to our relationship when we put all our mind,sould and emotions in it,and it is also then that we become addicted to it.One time ago when I was less busy,and the only thing I had to be doing was gambling,I had problems with my girlfriends almost everyday because she hates it,and I couldn't help myself but to continue in the act that she hates.Sometimes I see that the reason why some persons gamble is when they lacked something serious to do,it will make them think of nothing else but to gamble.
It takes an understanding girlfriend or wife to cope with this and tolerate all of these all in the name of love.

And likewise it also takes an understanding boyfriend and husband to be able to mix both gambling and quality time and yet not having issue with his girlfriend or wife when they need your attention the most, which maybe she must have been seeking your attention, and yet you go about ignoring her while you choose to gamble, because one thing I have noticed about ladies is that they are a jealous being, who could go an extra mile just to protect or have that which belongs to her. So on the nutshell, gambling can not afford any relationship, but it takes an individual's maturity to be able to maintain relationships. As we are ought to gamble responsibly with an amount you can always afford to lose.

No matter what the topic is, conflict of interest sometimes really disrupt relationship especially if you are really into it. It just depend on what you will do to resolve the situation, will you adjust, cut your gambling, or cut your relationship, it will hardly depends on you. Each people has a different vision on gambling and majority of people don't like it given the fact that it has a financial risk in it and of course the horror stories that made other people fall on their all time low because of gambling. It's hard to change peoples mind that why it will all depend on the gambler in your situation on how will you weight your love.
