Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 19. (Read 3810 times)

I think that any addiction, regardless of whether it is a casino crypt or not, will be harmful, it can degenerate any relationship, whether it is a couple alone or the family relationship that is involved, practically when it is the father of the family who is at fault. We tend to generalize things a lot, we can say or intuit that when things are about how to avoid things, it is better not to do them, but others say doing them because there is a tendency not to make it become an addiction. , this depends on the personality of the person, obviously anyone who happens to be one of the best can give a well-defined way of achieving good management within a casino, we cannot only manage to make inconvenient and invented bets, for example. It may work at one point, but then everything goes to waste, and I think that a person like that is addicted to money and loses control and gets carried away by impulses, and this is something that if the person doesn't He has willpower, because if he does nothing, things go out of control and everything is lost.

When a person is sad, sometimes the signs are obvious, they occur all at once, because they begin to see certain things that are needed, if there is a family, they realize that a need was not covered, when the reason is not sought, well If it begins to intrude because one did not eat this or those, and that is where the problems begin, in the beginning one can survive, with thus failures that are indicative, but with time and if it is not corrected quickly a person is capable of losing your family, because when you are the head of the household you should always be clear about your responsibility, you cannot invent that, we can be irresponsible alone, when there is no family or person in charge of us, but after a responsibility is acquired Socsas cannot be taken lightly, things have to be done very well and fulfill the family, the family comes first, the priority.

A person can become more closed in nature when he has experienced a gambling addiction, one of which is from a financial perspective, everything he can do, such as having a lot of debt after being addicted to gambling, even to those closest to him (his partner).  He doesn't want to open up if he has spent a lot of money on gambling, this is always kept a secret, causing communication with his partner to become disharmonious

Just gambling does not create any situation that break up the relation but when someone is addicted to gambling then only this kind of problem will be created. An addicted gambler has no time for family members. He has no sympathy for any family member. He is only busy with his gambling so no one would want to have a relationship with that addicted gambler in such a situation. However, there are many gamblers who spend a lot of time in gambling but try hard to behave normally. But its number is very less. Normally those who are addict will not try anything outside of gambling. It is not possible to return them easily from there even if they try.

Yes, I agree with it. Gambling can affect on your relationship. If you don't have too much money and you spend half a percent of your money on gambling and you lose a bet then your family members are upset with you because you have money and you are playing gambling and lose it. So, The main point of view is Gambling can affect in your relationship, which makes you disappointed.

Since we are focusing on gambling addiction here, I would say that every gambling addiction may have different effects on the relationships with families. Some may have intense reactions and other family members may have moderate reactions when they see that one of the adults (who is responsible for running the house expenses is losing money in gambling.

Once I heard the story of a husband, who was addicted to gambling and when her wife wanted to stop him, he even convinced her (as he won a few games and showed how easy it is to make money) and now both of them gamble together. 

My point here is that it all depends from person to person and what gambling experience one has with him over the weeks and months.

agree with this mate it will depends on the status of the relationship and also it depends on. Your partner cause once you are a gambler then your partner or let say  wife is a gambler too then both of you are don't have problem both of you already know your habits so your bonding is in gambling sites or casino. But in the other hand once you are a gambler then your wife don't have any experience or wants in gambling then it will affect your relationship cause your wife will hold you and say please don't gamble.

yes. When compared to his peers, I admit that he is a person who has great thinking and is wise in doing everything, including gambling. Apart from that, he also has a strong determination and is not easily influenced by his circle of friends and this is a very extraordinary thing.


Giving up gambling for the sake of the family is a good and wise decision. However, if in fact a person is unable to stop gambling, then what he must do is to be able to control his gambling activities as soon as possible before something worse happens to himself, including his family.


We ourselves have to control our emotions when gambling, we have to know when it is time for us to play and when we have to stop. Don't let yourself get too engrossed in gambling and forget everything, including time and other things.

Gambling can affect one's relationship depending on the kind of partner he has and how disciplined he is in his gamble dealings. For instance, of the partner of the person in question does see gambling as a vice that's to dangerous for anyone to get involved in, she'll definitely not want her man to gamble and would quit if she finds out that her man is doing it behind her back. Also if a man isn't disciplined and controlling his gambling habits, he's likely to end up as a gambling addict which in return poses a big threat to his relationship life.

Like you said gambling might not break a marriage but it can contribute to divorce, especially when addiction is prevalent. Most women don't really care about the gambling life of their spouse especially if it doesn't affect the family's financial standings negatively. I can not sacrifice my relationship because of gambling. The loss of children's custody can lead to serious depression. I rather leave gambling than lose my family. I don't usually blame some spouses for their decision to force their partners to give up gambling because some people engage in what I call crazy bets. They lose their sense of reasoning and don't care about the consequences of their actions.  Some people cannot stand the disgrace of loans and credit repayment defaults because of their partner's uncontrollable betting life.

I totally agree to this. I have personally witnessed several wives who have been just looked totally fine with how addicted their husbands to gambling simply because they have enough money to feed the entire family and they are still able to buy their luxuries.
Gambling itself may not be the primary reason for a family to be broken, it's most probably just being 2nd to money.
I've also seen a lot of marital separations due to unemployment of the husband more than being a gambler.
But it could be the worst if someone who is broke and still managed to gamble lol.

Denial is also a mechanism that helps them settle.  But this will not prevent the relationship from crumbling when everything is already affected. Usually, it is money that breaks apart relationships. Even in the absence of gambling addiction, family crumbles when money is not coming in, and it will be worse when there is a reason to blame each other like one is addicted to gambling.  The worst thing that could happen is losing custody of the kids since this is also ruining the lives of the kids.

Addicted gamblers are really that having those kind of denials in regarding on the things that they've been dealing with on which it would really be just that so normal that they would really be telling that they are still in good control on what they are doing or simply into their gambling activity but the fact and obviously can be seen on the things that happening to him then its impossible for someone not to be able to differentiate in between normal behavior and an addicted behavior on which this is something that you would really be that able to observe basing up on the actions that had been made.
This is why we should really be that careful on dealing with gambling because it is really that so hard to get out once you do get yourself on such addiction.If you could really be able to stop mid way on the time that you do have those consecutive losses or simply doesnt really chase up your losses then this is the time that i would say that you arent that addicted since you do really have that good
control towards yourself on which this is where most people do really fail on doing so. If you are really just that mindful about those possible future events or things to happen or consequences that might happen then you would really be acting out on things which are right.

Blaming gambling in whatever defects you have in your relationship is like trying to blame a person for your misfortune, I believe we should have control over anything we do, don't allow yourself to be a victim of circumstance just be mindful of yourself and be responsible for any action you take, if you give much of your attention to gambling it might distract you and cause you more expenses but you should be blamed not gambling itself, because you went for it uncontrollably.

Depending on what idea this gambling will activity will affect each and every relationship, but what's really disturbing was the issues with couples. Friendship and other associated with gambling came from their respective influences. More friends who brought you to the habits will always mold you to be more addicted with gambling, however an addict with gambling will be out of tolerance once they fight with conflict on money owing each other with huge amount that cannot he settled.

That is a nice experiment to run to see how dependent a person has become on gambling, however this is rarely done by those that needed it the most, and this is because they are in denial they have a problem and they always think of themselves as being in control of the situation and being able to quit whenever they want, but they never really put their supposed ability to quit whenever they want to test, as deep down they know they are lying and they do not want to accept the truth.

Any addiction would affect relationship.
All sorts of addiction would consume your time, attention and money so of course it would greatly affect your relationship.
Even if those who are addicted would explain it there are some who wouldn't even understand it.

There are several things that excessive gambling could result in and this could happen when you have taken gambling to the level of addiction, where you have more of your time and attention put into things about gambling than the attention you pay to your relationship and even to the notice of your partner. This does not only happen with gambling but also with traders who spend more of their time analyzing the chart and trading the market and at the end of the day without spending quality time with loved ones, mostly the day- traders.

Indeed, they are not great, but if we compare them with their peers, they are already great because they have more ideas than other friends. And parents indeed teach their children ways to develop their children's understanding and thinking skills. They can teach what their children need and ensure their children's growth and development are good.

If they gamble without responsibility, they will not be able to think about their family because all they want is to chase wins. They should not get involved in gambling because it will not give them daily wins. Those who can think more clearly will try to leave gambling for the sake of their family because it could impact their relationship with their family.

It's okay to gamble with emotions involved, but we have to really be able to control those emotions. Most gamblers will lose control of their emotions when they gamble, which will be indicated by whatever results they get. Whether they win or lose, their emotions will increase, and if they lose control, they will become even more eager to win. But there was only more loss.

And what the OP said in his thread is, gambling affects our relationships as gamblers. he explains the impacts and complaints of the negative side of gambling, which can damage a relationship with a partner. whether it causes financial tension, loss of joint savings, accumulation of debt and so on. I think there are quite a few people who experience gambling problems which have an impact on their relationship as a couple. In fact, quite a few end in separation.
Honestly, I will not close my eyes to the impacts caused by irresponsible gambling. that in fact, such phenomena often occur in the wider community.

Refers to what you say, if as a couple you love each other. Maybe, there is an urge that makes the gambler change. The point is, so as not to become dependent on excessive activity which ultimately leads to addiction. I won't deny some of the points you said, there are many people who change because of their partner. and that actually happens a lot.  and therefore also, someone who loves gambling activities like me. really need knowledge, knowledge in everything. whether it's understanding, self-control, discipline and responsibility.

Gambling should never be that big a part of your life that it starts to over spill into things like your relationship with other people. If someone else perceives you have a problem, then it's possible you've taken things too far and may be facing a state of denial. At that point, even if you don't believe it to be true, then maybe it is fair to cut out gambling for a month and see how it mentally affects you. If you're able to cut it off and not give it a second thought during that time, then you should be ok. If you find yourself drawn back into it immediately, they probably have a point. You should then start to evaluate if you want to continue on the route of gambling or whether your relationship is more valuable, because eventually they will get fed up and leave.
