Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 25. (Read 4383 times)

A gambler with no money left will always have a troubled head. A simple disagreement can turn worse only to prove his point, very impetuous. For a married person with no money to support his family, he'll be very anxious about whatever comes and can cause a quarrel with family members.

The more he'd think carelessly if he had no job too. It's always money that causes trouble in relationships. I can attest to this because I witnessed it myself.

So we are aware that gambling can have a bad influence on the people around us, so we must be able to pay attention to ourselves so as not to gamble excessively. In other words, we must be able to control ourselves while gambling. We don't want to see the bad consequences that we will give them if we continue to gamble because continuously gambling can change a person's disposition and character into someone whom the people around him do not recognize. There must be changes that occur in him that the gambler himself is not even aware of because only other people can see them. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with gambling responsibly because it can also prevent us from experiencing gambling addiction.

We all know that gambling is not at all a good sign for a person, but will create stress for his family in the future. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling he loses his mental strength and social isolation which affects his family a lot. So it is most important to avoid this gambling and when a healthy person gambles he can develop mental illness just because of gambling addiction. There are many people who gamble for entertainment but at some point they get stuck with the winnings, and later they can never get out of it, hence they become addicted to gambling. When a person starts gambling, they put their money at risk. Once they lose their bets, they decide to steal because they have no money, which is the worst. And what is the impact on their family due to which the family is much ashamed of the society and has to bear a lot of stress on the family and at some point they become destitute. That is why if a gambling addict is to recover from this condition, he must mix with his friends and outside people, so that he can stop gambling and slowly come back from it, only then a gambler can manage his life well.

Gambling itself does not cause any problems when it is done in a purely fun and casual manner, however lots of people think of it as a "way out" or shortcut to great wealth - when the only people getting consistently rich are the casino owners. If you are getting to the point where you are accumulating debt, burning through savings or feeling like you need to hide any aspect of your finances as it relates to gambling, then you have a big problem that will overspill into your relationship. Anyone under the pressure of those burdens can and normally does start acting differently in all kinds of situations, because they can often feel like they are trapped in a black hole with little opportunity in the future.

You are absolutely correct, mahn; that's the same thing I was saying in my previous comment. Whoever loses self-control of their gambling habit will definitely have some issues in their relationship, either with their own family, if the person is married, or with their parents or siblings, because by the time their siblings begin to quarry them for their gambling habits, they could get upset and cause some misunderstanding between them and their family. Some cases, too, can cause the man to engage in domestic violence with their spouse after they have lost some money at the casino and are confronted by their wife. I agree with you.

You have a healthy approach, but many people don't because they know what their partners think about gambling.
Imagine that you have a girlfriend who you really love and don't want to lose, so you ask her what she thinks about casinos and if she'd like to go there and you get a bad response. She says gamblers are trashy people, addicts, that she'd never date a gambler, so you shut up about it. You want to continue seeing her, but you also want to continue betting, and so it goes.

It's good to be honest, but sometimes you're faced with a choice of either being honest and being alone or having a fight with your wife who hates gambling, or shutting up and doing your thing.

Well it's going to be next to impossible for gamblers especially those with high levels of addiction out there, but I'm not saying it can't be done it's just that it's very unlikely if they can let go of all the temptations that come their way. But I think the difficulty or ease of quitting depends on the gamblers themselves, meaning their level of addiction, if they are just regular gamblers and not too ambitious then I think quitting will not be too difficult for them because they are still in a fairly safe zone with a mind that is still a little sober, but I say it's difficult only for those who are really addicted to the point that they can't miss a day of gambling, they continue to do it with hopes that are actually just nonsense.

Well that's right buddy, gamblers who are already addicted can hardly stop with just - just, they need a lot of help from some psychologists who can normalize their minds again, and of course the impact is not only for themselves but as we discussed according to the title above that the people closest to them will also definitely at least feel the negative impact. This is an example that should be used as a lesson by most gamblers, especially those who have just come, I hope they can see how bad the person is if they are too excessive in gambling, change your mindset.

As long as you are honest and open with your partner, I'm sure it won't result in arguments, just say I gamble for fun and I'm sure our partner will understand if we are honest with him and convince him that we can control the gambling we usually play, etc. My personal example is that I entrust my wife to manage my gambling budget every week.

So when we trust our wife or partner to manage the gambling budget, of course he will feel special, that we have nothing to hide from him, he will definitely appreciate that honesty and I am sure there will be no arguments if everyone is open and supportive of each other. because until now I am still in harmony with my partner and still gamble on weekends without any problems though

Gambling is a hobby of mine and I try to be as open as possible about it with my family, friends and partners. In the past I only had one girlfriend that I couldn't talk about my gambling activities. I tried a few times to be open about it, but she got very negative and wouldn't listen to reasoning. In the end the relationship didn't last very long and gambling was only a small part of why we broke up. From that encounter I learned a lot and now I am always forthcoming and open about my hobby. From my experience it is not so much about the fact that we enjoy playing for money, but rather the fact that we should have no secrets in a relationship. In a good relationship we don't need to have the same interests, it's fine we take a few hours in the evening for ourselves and do something that we enjoy. The important thing is to share our experiences and not try to hide it. Once we break the trust of our wife or girlfriend, she will feel betrayed it's going to be hard to get that trust back into the relationship, better to play with open cards from the start.

Considering the ill effects of addiction, of course gambling can have serious consequences for those who have given up gambling, especially those in relationships. There are many people who spend extra time in casino or gambling but cannot spend time with their loved ones in the family. Not giving time to the loved one creates loneliness in the heart of the loved one and later has a bad effect on the relationship and hundreds of divorces have happened in our country due to such effect. However, those who take gambling positively may not have bad relationship effects because they spend time with their loved ones in addition to gambling.

I guess it's all about affordability. You probably can afford to gamble after all the expenses and requirements of you and your family in a month and that is the reason why your spouse has no issues with your gambling activities. The same thing wouldn't be said by someone who spends money that they need for something else on their gambling activities and then the only reason why they will have issues in their relationship will be because of their gambling.

It's true that there will always be some issues between a husband and a wife if that is the relation we are talking about, because when you live with someone, you do everything together, there will be arguments and issues arising from time to time, however, they won't last very long if someone wants to resolve them and not break the relationship.

You said it right. We cannot generate financial independence from gambling. We can only restrain it with self-control so that we don't sink into gambling, especially if many people have experienced it. We have to be more careful so that we don't experience the same thing. And if we don't want our relationships with the people around us to suffer, we must be able to use gambling well and only treat gambling as entertainment and nothing more. This way, we can still interact with people well and enjoy gambling as usual.

Gambling is an activity where the results can go either hand. The stake at which people gamble is what drives them insane given the fact that real money is involved in this venture. Sure, a person may feel extremely satisfied and happy if they win a significant amount of money; but the stress and negativity of losing is what makes this habit dangerous compared to any other habits in this world.

The cycle of gambling is a difficult act to remove especially if you are already deep on it. A person may feel obliged to recover their losses by gambling again but this puts them in a worse position in the long run.

I just hope that when people gamble, they have the means of allocating only a designated portion of their income/savings to prevent any over spending on their part.

Maybe the proverb you mean is "if there is smoke there is fire" which means that when we do everything we do, there will definitely be a consequence that we will receive. And the consequences are good or bad, it depends on what you do and keeping your bad behavior in gambling a secret is a bad thing and will have bad consequences for yourself.


Running away from existing problems and continuing to try to cover them up, this will never solve the problem and this will only complicate the situation later. Maybe you could keep this a secret from other people, such as neighbors, friends or new people you know with the aim of maintaining other people's honor and trust in you. But not towards your partner, because when you are married, your responsibility is not yourself, but someone else's child whom you asked to be your wife and your responsibility. So behave wisely when gambling and don't let the gambling you do have bad consequences and have a negative impact on yourself, especially your family and partner.

Gambling addiction can ruin lots of relationships especially if it includes debt, lies and false promises just to pursue gambling. We all know how gambling addiction affects a person and his mentality. There will be times that he wouldn't care about how his decisions will affect the people around him which will definitely affect good relationships.
As for me, if a person is giving in to his urges without proper control, he will disregard the feelings of others and it's a reason to break bond and relationship. It's something that we should be careful about. If we could feel that we're already disregarding how our decisions may affect others, we might be falling into gambling addiction.

if the individual is a chronic gambler it has a negative impact on me as a friend also because he will always want to encourage me to gamble even when it is not convenient for me, in a way it will affect our relationship in addition because once I noticed that it is becoming an addiction I will in a way start avoiding that friend because of that influence. Because he may end up persuading me to sell my property one day to gamble, it is best if I avoid him they will always go with the idea of gaining back their money, and they will continue to lose as a result of that thinking.

The casino's interests come first in the design of the gambling system, not the players'. Casinos are huge, luxurious buildings for a reason, and it has nothing to do with how generously they pay out. Its honestly stupid of you to think that gambling addiction can lead to financial independence. Self-control? Yes, that is necessary. However, self-control may not be sufficient if the system is biased against you. Are we prepared to allow ourselves to be exploited by a sector of the economy that profits from our failures? We must consider this more carefully and carefully.

Indeed, gambling affects our finances and psychology when we become a real addict but we cannot gather all these negatives to judge that this will affect relationships because I see quite a few people who gamble at an addictive level but at the same time their work is also managed well, social relationships cannot be broken as long as the gambler does not lower their reputation. The new age has allowed us to think more openly, unless we borrow too much money, otherwise, it is difficult for a relationship to disappear because of gambling.

That will start making problems with their friends, and family members. Many things will change and arise once you've got caught in addiction, some people will understand it but most people will not. In fact, we can't expect that all the people around us will support our addiction and let us borrow their money, for they don't and can lead to having bad relationships, even your partners will never give you that. More often troubles will arise when there is financial problems occur inside and gambling addiction can be a factor in such thing.
