Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 19. (Read 4405 times)

It is right that gambling should be done in such a way that it does not affect anyone therefore one should learn to control oneself before becoming addicted. Once it becomes an addiction, however, gambling addiction can lead to serious psychological problems gambling addiction has a very negative effect especially on marital and social life. The best way to start a conversation with a spouse is to empathize and reassure them that you are not going to judge them. It is also important to understand that they may hide their gambling because of the stigma attached to it, which makes it more difficult to disclose.

all of this is due to insufficient financial factors to meet daily needs. I mean when someone is married and their income is unstable or they really need money every day and sometimes someone immediately thinks about gambling to double their money but that is a wrong thought but I often see people who are married have a bad mindset like this.

and for me it not matter if a gambler who is married is addicted to gambling if he has a very large income so that no matter what happens his finances remain stable and can meet his daily needs and that is very rare.
sometimes this mindset is very influential for a bettor and if he is married and is the head of the household it would be better to reduce his gambling activities and prioritize his relationship with his family rather than spending money on gambling which ends up having a bad relationship with his wife.

Actually, the cause of the breakdown of a family or relationship does not lie solely in economic conditions, it could be due to other factor such as infidelity, a temperamental partner, lack of attention to the partner are also factors that cause the breakdown of a relationship, so gambling is not the only cause of the breakdown of a family.
Gambling addiction really has a big impact on your financial condition, but as long as you can use gambling wisely, I think your wife or partner will understand it provided not go beyond reasonable limit.

If those people could still use gambling for entertainment and fun, they would not experience relationship problems with the people around them. But once they get too deep into gambling, their relationships with others may start to suffer because when they experience losses, they will be sad or even angry. And when they are angry, they will take it out on the people around them even though these people have nothing to do with gambling. The condition will worsen if the gambler cannot realize his mistake because he has brought emotions from gambling into his relationships with the people around him.

Gambling addiction can disrupt a person's financial condition and even his family if he is married. And if that happens, the family may experience small problems such as being unable to meet their living needs because the money is used for gambling. They use their money to gamble because they think they can win some money to meet their daily needs but that's not the reality.

I like the points you make, especially for ordinary or poor people who love to gamble. as you said, when a couple has financial limitations or, let's say, only earns a mediocre income, the impact of gambling by the husband/wife will have a big impact on the relationship they have had so far. The breakdown of the relationship will gradually occur, whether it ends in separation or someone has to give in and realize that someone's actions are excessive. but if someone has been dominated by addiction, ego and the fantasy of getting rich in one night. So, usually damage to family relationships is inevitable. in the end, one of them will leave or end it with separation.

I am sure that a phenomenon like what is said in this post is not a foreign phenomenon to us, especially to the lower classes of society who tend to prefer gambling with lotteries. Usually, the expectations are simple. hoping for a miracle by getting the jackpot from lottery type gambling. The key is to understand that the priority of family needs is number one. For gambling, whatever the reason, whether for fun, entertainment or wanting to get additional income from it. The focus is that money is only prepared to be lost on condition that it does not interfere with the family's financial problems. or in other cases, excessive gambling can also damage a couple's relationship. The key is to play less and share time with your partner.

In the case of a rich person, it is true, losing money on his gambling will not have a major impact on his relationships. However, if someone does it intensely, plus a large amount of money is at stake, but unfortunately they always lose, then the potential for damage to their relationship can occur. The point is, play within your means, only using the money we have budgeted, without disturbing other interests. which in the end, will not affect the breakdown of a relationship.

Isn't it a question of relativity for any person in the world except for maybe some billionaires for whom it should be impossible to gamble away their fortune? If a millionaire goes into the casino and loses a few million dollars in just one night, that could mean bankruptcy for that person as much as could mean that to a middle to low income person depending on how much debt or lifestyle cost someone has to serve. The relative expenditure is what decides whether someone maneuvers themselves into trouble with gambling or not. But it is true that it is more likely that middle or low income people are probably gambling money away that has existential relevance for them and it is not that likely for a millionaire who amassed a fortune to be playing with existential money. But it does happen as well and can end in a catastrophe, too.

Well, for rich gamblers, losing money doesn't impact to their financial capability which is why it never incurs problems. But for poor to middle-class people, that is a big deal and most of the time this would be a reason for a broken family and relationship. It is not because they don't understand their husband but it is because their husband doesn't understand the situation that they have. If you are a responsible husband/wife, you don't have to prioritize or spend more on gambling rather than use it to buy food.

That's because no one is willing give a loan for gambling purpose, if I were ask you a loan for gambling, will you give it? 100% nope. But if I were ask you a loan to buy foods or medicine, will you give it? it's not 100% you will accept, but there's a probability you will give.

Why addiction would ruin a relationship? they will ask a loan or force you become a gambler by convince you can make money through gambling.

Addiction to gambling is undoubtedly a severe problem that can negatively impact both our life and the lives of those around us. It's not only about the money; it's also about the relationships, mutual trust, and emotional health of all parties. Many people first attend casinos for amusement purposes, just for fun. However, it can turn into an addiction very rapidly, isn't that right? And when that occurs, the goal shifts from simply making money to enjoying the rush of the chase and the need to keep winning

Just the tip of the iceberg is financial difficulty. Relationships suffering is when the true anguish and devastation occur. Isn't the true suffering experienced when relationships are shattered, secrets are maintained, and conflicts arise? And isn't it true that trust is extremely difficult to regain once it has been damaged? It is imperative that we exercise caution, maintain awareness, and take action to stop gambling addiction before it starts. Because recovery can be a difficult and protracted process once it occurs

Yes, any addiction, especially gambling, can cause a chain of negative effects. These activities typically hurt relationships, right? Gambling, especially in a real or crypto casino, deserves further discussion. When the family breadwinner becomes addicted, the family suffers. Family comes first, but how can we cling to it?

Do you gamble in casinos to recover from financial and emotional losses when your favorite soccer team loses? How often do emotions and personal events obscure judgment and lead to hazardous behavior?

I agree that when we lose, especially as a family, we must stay calm and avoid detrimental coping techniques like gambling. We should combine intelligence and self-control for ourselves and our families.

When you're not prioritizing your family anymore because of gambling, that's how things get bad. That is also the reason why many people sees the bad in gambling if it's not for these irresponsible gamblers.

Me too, as long as they're providing their needs and their way of living isn't affected, there's no problem if they gamble as their partners are right their stoppage if they see something wrong is happening.

It still depends on your partner if it accepts you. Gambling will only be a problem if you are already addicted to it like if you have been in debt and you already have no time for other things like work or family. I've seen a lot of married couples whose wife are okay with the gambling activities of their husband because their husbands can gamble responsibly. So it is not about the partner it is about how you gamble so that it won't affect yourself or people around you.

That is why we must be able to prevent gambling addiction so that it does not affect our lives with the people around us. We also don't want to see our relationships disrupted because we have a gambling addiction from previously just playing gambling to get entertainment and finally becoming a desire to win more money, which is difficult to obtain. With the gambling addiction that we experience, our finances will be disrupted because we use the money to gamble while we have difficulty making ends meet. Moreover, if someone does not want to be open with their partner, it worsens their relationship because it can trigger arguments between them. And if that's the case, everything can be destroyed because of the gambling addiction that we experience.

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.
