Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 16. (Read 4383 times)

There is no issue about it if they both understand and make fun of gambling. But this is a different story between husband and wife (and family) as usually they have been affected by this. Some family breakups have some common problem and issue which is finance --and one reason is one of the family members has been into gambling addiction which causes financial problems.
If ever our partner doesn't support our gambling habits/addiction, I would say that don't ever attempt to do this because will be the start of family problems and misunderstanding which leads to broken relationships and breakups.

Excess in anything, but especially gaming, can only have very bad results. One person's overindulgence can lead to a downward spiral that affects them and their relationships with others. It is a fundamental  of human behavior that once someone crosses a line, it gets harder for them to go back. Trust in others decreases, relationships get worse, and the person gets caught in their own web.

Nonetheless, your view on personal gambling is interesting. When someone can really set limits and keep their relationships intact, the behavior changes from a vice to a managed leisure activity. But, and its a significant but, the key lies in self-awareness and discipline. Can every person really look inside themselves and decide when they've compromised? What the question really is.

It is not worth spending our monthly salary to gamble, especially if we have a lot of expenses. We will regret it if we use all our monthly salary to gamble and the result is that we lose everything. Gambling is not to make money but just to have fun, so we have to treat gambling properly and not gamble too much so that we don't lose too much. We have to manage our money for gambling and not use much money to gamble.

It's true that not many people can manage their finances and that's why we have to be able to learn and manage their finances for gambling. Don't forget to manage your finances because it is our money for our family. It is better for us to limit gambling so that we can still have money to buy daily necessities rather than using a lot of money to gamble where there is no guarantee of winning.

Yes, that's right, we should not gamble excessively or not gamble every day. Gambling is a game that uses money, when we lose money there will definitely be regrets, especially if we spend our entire monthly salary, maybe it will make us stressed. Gambling is a place to have fun, if we are stressed after gambling then we have to stop or leave it because gambling no longer makes us happy.


However, not many people can manage their finances when gambling, usually gamblers will spend a lot of money and start to owe their friends and family. This usually damages relationships with family. In fact, if we can regulate our gambling patterns and budget, then gambling will not damage our relationships with anyone

Anything in excess is not good, especially if it is gambling. We have to know if we have gambled too much so that we can start reducing gambling activities and improve our relationships with other people who have begun to suffer. If we can be responsible in gambling, our relationships will not be disturbed and we will still enjoy gambling activities as usual. If we cannot be responsible, it will cause mental health problems, affecting our relationships with others.

Yes, for some people, gambling alone may be better because they can enjoy their gambling activities well and live their relationships with other people as well as possible. And it depends on how we can protect ourselves when gambling and maintain relationships with others.

to respond to this case, to be honest, I am a little concerned about hearing stories like this because a good relationship means telling each other the truth and if you gamble secretly without your wife or girlfriend knowing, in the long run it will actually make the relationship worse because everything that is hidden in the end will be found out.

for me it would be better if you spoke honestly to your partner to say if you have gambling activities but give a subtle understanding such as you gamble only using the remaining money that is not used for needs or only use small amounts and I am sure if you are successful in providing a clear understanding. Be gentle with your partner, he will definitely give you the freedom to gamble using smaller amounts and in fact, if your gambling activities are known beforehand by your partner, he can be one of the people who always reminds you to always gamble responsibly.

because not everyone has enough space to create a small office at home. so its better to tell the truth than to be found out, which in the long run will become more complicated.

This have been the most problem being faced by many gamblers who may not have the ability to put the necessary steps in place fhat maintain and sustain a stable flow of everything without one interfereing with the other, fhis is very important,  in other to avoid one overbordering the other, family and relationship are very important part of our life and so we should be able to balance, fhs equation between all to avoid crisis of negligence.


But we also need to put in place also arrangement to take care of our mental stress as we know that family can some time be stressful and at that, we should how best to keep yourself environment for mental well being.
Having your secret private place for your entertainment and other activities that you may not want your family to distract you from is very necessary, reason why is important to have your own personal office in your house, this will give you an organized setting that will place your mental alertness in the active position.

Money has ruined tons of friendships and relationships.The problem is to not overdo it and not to gamble in excess or that is a guaranteed thing to disrupt your relationship,family status and many other good things because excess gambling can only bring bad things,like not a good mental health,not a good mood or humor and all sort of related things that can make you escalate pretty quickly in any argument or relationship you maybe in.

That is why for me it is always better to gamble alone,even if your spouse knows it she should not interfere as interfering will bring back those things which they too escalate quickly and can disrupt for the worse the relationship.

When you win, your spouse is happy. But if you keep losing continuously and only deplete your savings, it might lead to negative thoughts from your spouse. As long as gambling remains under control, it's not a problem. A wife should also understand that her husband needs enjoyable entertainment that doesn't involve other women. Gambling can be a fun pastime as long as your finances remain stable after leaving the casino.

There are many factors that can influence a wife's decision regarding whether or not to divorce her husband due to gambling activities. An easy example is economic factors. If you have a private jet and only wager $10 or $100, your wife will never take your gambling seriously. But if you find yourself in the unluckiest position, with limited income and you're spending a lot on gambling, your marital relationship may be on the rocks. A woman might seek a better partner.

Yes, it has the potential to significantly impact personal relationships. it has a potential negative impact on personal relationships. Here you can see how gambling affects relationships. Various types of negative impact names, see below.

- Financial Tensions

- Psychological Casualties

- Loss of Quality Time

- Communication Breakdown

- Impact on Mental Health

- Role Reversal and Enabling

- Legal and Social Consequences

For the case above, it doesn't seem like it will be a problem because each of them knows the risks of gambling so they can overcome the risks. After all, they collect money together and play together with their friends. Using the method above can be done but this requires choosing friends who have the same vision in gambling so that it won't be a problem later. Otherwise, one of them might not be happy to see him lose and will accuse the other friend of not playing well.

And that might disrupt their friendship. For this reason, they must really be able to find friends who can truly realize that what they do in gambling is only for fun and not to make money. And it's not easy to find friends like that because when it comes to money, anything can happen and even affect the friendships they have built for years.

Depending on how people behave, as getting you point, those examples do have things in common and they are good at taking care of
their gambling activities and with problem will not arise.

But in most cases, we seem broken relationship as most of the time a person got addicted and forget about his obligations and limitation.

That's the time where relationship got ruined as gambling addicted person can't no longer control whatever problem inside
him and all he wants to do is to please his lust and desire for gambling.

Of course, when people or some players believe that the game can be used as an alternative source of income, because it is the most reckless thing to do, well some can apply it, maybe you will have luck in applying such a thing in a thread that was talked about the people who are successful in a casino and I consider a person in a casino who every time they play they can do it, as long as they do, for me that is a person who is successful in the game, who knows how to play, and who knows what it is like The process in games that involves many aspects of the game is a plus, but winning is winning, I think nothing goes against that, plus there is something that is a main ingredient in this, what is money, while a person is multiply the die, since it can be considered successful, what happens is that the casino will always have the house advantage, it is very difficult for us to fight against it, because most of the time we stammer and treat each other, but They end up losing more, which is very unusual in a casino like this, there is no reason to feel bad, nor is it a reason to be ashamed, casinos, things are like that and they are applied like that.

When a person thinks that the casino is a bank, or that it is an ATM, I think that at some point that luck will run out and they have to be prepared to face things like that, because something that is difficult is facing losses, that's where it happens. You see the gambler's face, and of course you must already have in your mind that it is something normal, that the casino is a business, it is a company where you will obviously have income, because you cannot make everyone win, so as a player you know that you are competing. against the advantage of the cas plus other things, such as the complexity of the game, the way one has in a state of concentration, all this influences, so a player must always have his degree of self-control because he is a protagonist there in the casino , and that's why they have to do a lot of things to be Profitable.

This means that it depends on each person to control themselves from their gambling addiction because there are people who are addicted to gambling but can still control themselves so that their gambling addiction does not get serious. This may require practice so the gambling addiction does not get worse and can still be controlled. Being controlled here means that he is still aware that he has a gambling addiction but is still at a good level because he can still control himself. And if that happens, maybe his relationships with other people won't be affected because he can still control himself well.

Good point, some times it's mostly the ability to control, self control is something people need to learn and master the art so they don't have to suffer the after effects of addictions gotten resulting from continues engagement in the act, if only they can get good control of themselves over these habits , they can resist the urge whenever it comes and stay put.

But in the case where the self control is lacking they will really find it difficult to cope and it will definitely affect their relationship and even some other aspects of their lives such as their finance and their character generally. Sometimes if their patterns happen to notice this habits in them, they could possibly help the control themselves as the battle for self control is most times not an easy one and requires help sometimes.

Addiction, addiction, addiction; its like a slot machine that never hits the jackpot, isnt it? You make a pretty solid point about it being a crucial thing to avoid, especially in the world of gambling. Now, there’s a wild idea - what if there were a “gamble-ometer” of sorts, like a breathalyzer but for gambling? Something that locks you out of your online gambling account once you've hit your preset limits.

Financial derailment due to gambling is sadly all too common and a discussion worth having, over and over again. You know, its like spinning the roulette and betting it all on a single number – risky, and usually doesnt pan out well. We gotta be the savvy players of our own lives, placing smart, thought-out bets and knowing when to walk away from the table, with our wallets and relationships intact.

A couple of my friends have a slot game that they play together. This does not affect their relationship, on the contrary, I can say that when they lose, they lose with fun. When they are going to put money on the site, they all put up a capital together and take turns playing. If I give an example, 5 friends and each of them puts 100 dollars. This is 500 dollars in total and they enter the slot game with 500 dollars. Although they don't have an exact figure in their heads, if there is 2000 dollars, they play with the idea that if we take our money and let's split it. When this happens, the loss is everyone's loss and the gain is everyone's gain. There are also methods that do not affect friendships in such a way. Because they know this risk themselves and provide an investment accordingly.

There is a certain percentage of people who are not able to control themselves and their desires and it is not just about gambling. Someone gets drunk on alcoholic beverages to the point where he can't remember anything the next day, someone eats so much food that he exceeds his recommended weight by 2-3 times, someone can't live a sexual life only with his wife and is constantly looking for new partners. In my opinion, the problem here is not gambling, but the inability to control one's desires and unwillingness to limit oneself. 

Yes, I also can't understand why they can ignore the huge risk, even though they always lose, they always do it and don't think about how long they want to do activities that are not profitable at all, they always assume that gambling can give them a big win and also satisfaction, but the reality is not like that, and even reversed far from expectations, even though the expectations you bring are nothing more than something excessive that you get because of opportunities and then you like to conclude that the opportunity is really real. It is not like that buddy, you are wrong in thinking and inferring the opportunity that is meant in gambling. So I think you should immediately correct your mindset before going further and of course there will be more losses.

I think there is nothing else you can do but try to stop, after all you have to think about life and especially the family economy and I think you also know that your responsibility for children and wife is very large, so this can really have a bad impact on your life and theirs. That's right, if you continue then it's very likely that you're going to be in a stressful position because the finances are going to get worse and you might do something out of control there. So we always try to prevent it before it's too late.

In the beginning, they gambled without being addicted to gambling. Still, over time, many of them could not control themselves and instead gambled too often, which made them slowly become addicted to gambling and couldn't get away from gambling. When they win, they feel a different pleasure than usual and want to repeat it to get the next win by continuing to gamble. But they don't think that if they continue gambling, they have a chance of losing, which could cost them all their money.

Many have fallen into gambling because they lose self-control, and it causes problems with their relationships with the people around them. If this is left without awareness, those who are addicted to gambling will further worsen the relationship, and there is no possibility of repairing it.
