Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 21. (Read 3810 times)

According to leading psychologists, addiction arises precisely because gambling gives a man incredible freedom. Think about it for yourself: modern society imposes on us the opinion that we owe everyone, that we live by the instructions, and cannot deviate from their implementation by a single step. And everything is easy and clear in gambling. Everything is raised there as if we own the situation ourselves, and the rules are clear and friendly. As if there is no casino, but there is a world where the player is free, and the casino is just a tool. Of course, any woman will not approve of such a departure from reality for a man, especially when debts begin.

I can't imagine the huge positive that gambling brings, any angle that is directed towards gambling, just the first few times gambling will probably be positive and not harmful but that is just a physical and mental trap, we are very obviously stimulated by fun and possibly income then a gambling algorithm with infinite loop occurs. Mental collapse and deterioration of thinking, instead of thinking about a relationship, we're thinking about how many times we've lost and calculating how to win, ultimately leaving our friends and family behind

There are still people in society who are not greedy. I was also read the thread about the guy you mentioned. What I realized there is that people don't value only money. Some of them prioritize trust love and dignity. But almost everyone knows that its number is limited. I will not deny that some gamblers and their acquaintances who win big money from gambling will no longer think of gambling negatively but will forget all about it because of the money they win. As not everyone will just run towards money and many will value money. But naturally the picture we see is that if a gambler becomes addicted to gambling then some changes will occur in him so that if his favorite personality is not greedy then he will definitely ask him to quit gambling.

Social relationships and personal aspects will affect you and people who dislike you will increase especially those who don't like gambling. If gambling bothers your family or friends then you should gamble secretly. You cannot be expected to gamble if you are caught in their emotional web. The family will criticize this because gambling can lead to huge debts.
The results from gambling are one-sided as if you win the money will increase and if you lose the money will decrease, which is impossible to freely accept so your family may be confused about this. Hence gambling is not a person's profession income source and people enjoy gambling in different ways. But what an addictive gambler does is that they sell personal assets and gamble with business money.

What you said is correct. We must first be responsible for all the things that are our responsibility before we can do other things, in this case gambling. We do this so that no one is disturbed, especially with financial problems, because if we don't allocate a certain amount of funds for gambling, it will reduce the portion for other things in the family. And that will disrupt the financial balance that we have previously established. So if everything can run normally and there are no problems at all, it won't impact our relationships with other family members. But if our gambling has reached the point where we use money from our allocated funds for other things, it will affect those things, and in the future, it may impact our relationships with others.

Yes, as even it's just a small percentage of those gamblers who can create or set their limits, it's still possible to see those who have a good
balance with relationships and finances.

As long as it's not affecting your financial capabilities and you have that good and manageable habits when playing the game.
chances are both enjoyment and some money to make when you manage that discipline and able to work it out in each gambling session
that you joined.

If you cross your limits in gambling, obviously it will sure to create an effect on a relationship. That’s the problem with most of the die hard gamblers because they seem to be uncontrolled when it comes to fighting their urge from gambling. Except for those who know how to deal with gambling risks and has develop discipline from it, maintaining their relationship with their partners in life would be easy to handle.

Gambling is our personal life and we should not associate our gambling activities with family matters. We can only gamble when our responsibilities as head of the family have been fulfilled. Starting from household needs to the needs of a child, only then can we carry out gambling activities for our personal enjoyment.


In my opinion, there is no choice in gambling, there is also a necessity. Namely, as much as possible we must be able to take full responsibility for the gambling activities that we carry out during. Gambling is everyone's right, but before we take this right, we must first fulfill and complete our responsibilities and obligations as a husband or head of the family.

I know a lot of people who are like that, they are either dependent on their partners or on someone from their family to feed them and their family (spouse and kids) as well and that is the worst of a person you can see. They don't work because they are too lazy for that, but they will need money from time to time so that they can gamble with it hoping to make something out of their gambling that they can use to run their household but that never works out.

We all know that gambling isn't a constant source of income and one cannot rely on it, but some people simply don't get it. I have a relative who does this exact thing, they don't do a job saying they will do their own business when they will have money and all they do is sit at home and eat by taking money from others.

It does hurt the hurt that comes from discovering a hidden truth. When discovered rather than confessed, gambling is a heavy burden. It stings, a betrayal sting. Having said that, I do think it's important to be forthright and honest from the get-go. If I were in that situation, I would prefer the painful truth over a sugar-coated lie any day. The youngster and his parents' experience shows the consequences of gambling, even if they win. I cannot emphasize enough how much trust is lost in these kinds of circumstances, and it is not easy to rebuild

Though, I believe that money has two sides. While it might seem to provide short-term solutions, what about long-term effects? It's not a solution, particularly when it comes to trust and emotional issues. Relationships and trust are more valuable than all the wealth, in my opinion

Any activity that you do that interferes with your relationship with your family or those closest to you is included in the category of addiction, so in fact it is not only gambling addiction that can damage relationships but also other addictions.
If you can still control yourself well then it will not be possible for gambling to damage your relationship, because everything is done with good control, when to play, how long to spend playing, including the money spent on gambling. However, if you talk about self-control, it's just a theory, but it can be done even though it's difficult.

But it won't be that easy to have a positive effect. If a husband can control himself, what about his wife? If wives and husbands can control, what about their children? It will become more complicated in the future. Because a person's ego and emotions are different. I think there should be 1 person who can prevent the potential for gambling more. and in my opinion the wife is the one who should not gamble, because maybe the husband hopes that his wife can help manage how to use his money for gambling (if permitted).

However, I know that there are many wives who let their husbands gamble, because they feel that their finances are fine and remain harmonious.

I remember a story about Jerry and his wife to solve the lottery code together, Jerry & Marge who made big profits from their cooperations to break the lottery code with their mathematics skill

On the other hand, I believe that if you approach the subject correctly and it benefits you in your family, other endeavors, or even your personal life, it won't have an impact on the relationship.

Gambling can affect us for either positive or harmful causes, and there are only two possible outcomes. When we attempt to play gambling in the gambling business market, we have the choice of which of the aforementioned outcomes we wish to occur.

Actually gambling is choice and no one can stop gambling activities once someone has decided to do it and it is very rare for someone who gambles to tell what he is doing to other people even to his own partner.
Not many women are willing to accept that their partner is addicted to gambling and there are probably only one or two women who are willing to accept or even support every gambling decision their partner makes.

However so far many families have been destroyed because the husband became gambling addict and when harmonious family has to be destroyed because of gambling then I say that the man is a failure in the sense of failing as a husband and father because he fully responsible for the warmth in the family.

If are still just boyfriend or girlfriend maybe don't really regret it and it can still be considered a problem that is not too complicated but if you are already married then this is problem that is quite regrettable.

How i wish that i do have a partner or wife which would really be understanding on the things that what i do like or simply being supportive.This is why it would really be always better that before you do make yourself getting tied with marriage then it would be ideal on choosing the partner on which it do really accepts you on who you are specially if you do gamble then im not saying that she should tolerate you on what you are doing
but something that shows being supportive at the same time she give out some reminders and cautions then thats the best feeling ever. Dont ever come into a point that you are already compromising your relationship specially with your wife becase we know that finances are supposed to be handle up properly and not something to be wasted on somelike gambling which you could really just wasting your money instead of making use of it on the right way. It would really be affecting your overall relationship and status of your family on the time that you dont have money to be spend already and this is something that you should really be that careful.

I think the topic is not limited to relationship of spouse or girlfriend but seems like you are talking about a situation when you have a real partner who understands you better and love you for who you are find out in your back that you gamble and from the beginning you didn't inform them. It's really sad when you find the truth later because I do see it as lack of trust and anything that comes from that same mouth in the future will be doubt to me isntead been accepted as the truth, it's always good to come clean and straight, if your partner can manage you, they will accept you for who you are and if they will not, they will let you know before the relationship go deeper.

Just like I saw some months ago in a thread where a young boy won a million from gambling but the parent refuse to accept the amount their son gave them because their beliefs is against it and they weren't happy about the source of his money, this is how the people that loves you lost trust in you when you gamble but in the real sense, they think you are just an average guy who do average things.

However, let's say you are a hard die fan of gambling with the addiction but you pretend to your partner that you don't gamble and they later find out that you do that and maybe on that same day, you won a life changing amount of money, even if they feel disappointed and angry for pretending, they will only be angry for a short time, the money under your possession will make them forget that reaction quickly, that's the power of money and how it transform judgement quickly without doing anything. This is to show you how some people loves money than anything in this life.

This is a domino effect and a continuous effect of uncontrolled gambling activities or gambling addiction. Which in the end will only result in misery, where a wife no longer wants to respect and be with him, assets have been sold to fulfill his desire to gamble, and also a child who is neglected because he is not financially supported, so he cannot get a formal education such as worthy of other small children.
And maybe an acute gambling addict will only realize it when they have reached their lowest point as I mentioned.

You are right, many such situations arise because of an addicted gambler. Many such good relations also break up at one time. I also saw a relationship where boy and girl are very close and they loved each other very much but at some point the boy started to change after he got addicted to gambling. When the changes begin to occur, his girlfriend becomes concerned and later realizes that her boyfriend has turned into an addicted gambler. I didn't see them taking money there but I saw a separation between them after a long period of time. Addiction to gambling actually has an impact on relationship.

If you have your gambling under control then gambling in terms of its costs it is no different than buying some clothes that you like on a whim, the problem appears when someone cannot control that desire to gamble they have at all times and at any cost, and in that case the life of their partner can become a hell on earth, as it is the case for any addiction, since it is very difficult to deal with a person that has such irrational ideas and desires.

It also depends on the type of gambling game and depends on where you play. Playing gambling without many people knowing will not damage friendships, but gambling with friends in one place offline can cause a rift in friendships because they know the amount of our winnings.

Playing gambling nowadays is different from traditional gambling which is not as popular as gambling that is accessed on the internet.
Most relationships will be damaged with wives because of different habits in the money factor. I often find that the relationship with my wife is broken due to gambling.
