Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 26. (Read 4383 times)

Gambling will damage your finances, not create financial freedom. Casinos are not a place to make money, so there will never be financial freedom in the world of gambling, as far as I know it will lead to mountains of debt. Can be sure that family and those closest will be the first to ask for a loan, which is where family relationships and friendships will be damaged because of gambling.


Yes, I also know there are people like that, but often they are too greedy and double their bet on the next bet, so that once they make a prediction mistake, their money will run out.

I can agree with, gambling influence you and the people around you so we need to manage it in order for us not to be addicted so hard . But for me if you say addiction it is to the extent that you are being too much addicted that will come to the point that you slowly getting annoyed easily and become so much frustrated because you want to earn more so you can play more.

When you talk about financial freedom, gambling is never and can never be a source for anyone to achieve financial freedom. One of the major causes of gambling addiction is when a gambler decides to gain financial freedom through gambling.
Undoubtedly, there are gamblers who are very good in predicting the outcome of games which helps them to know which game to bet on and when best to place their bets but once the person starts to see it as a main source of income, he automatically becomes an addict which will surely gonna affect his relationship with his loved ones.

that's because the addiction also involves other people. and they feel disadvantaged by the addiction that gamblers experience. However, we have to accept that gambling has quite an addictive impact on beginners. It all depends on how the gambler manages to exercise control so as not to involve anyone as much as possible.

I believe more people will be addicted to gambling than those who can really control it. When you have better finances, your gambling activities may not harm the people you come into contact with.

Let's skip the process though as we know how successful gamblers do, but as I research now I find that my understanding was wrong.

According to wiki - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_addiction#:~:text=A%20gambling%20addiction%20is%20when,more%20than%20the%20general%20population.


I'm talking about positive outcome, so I was wrong.

Indeed, it's just a proportional effect when you have an addiction. It will also influence your connection with your loved ones the same way.

Regarding addiction having a positive effect such as attaining wealth in the process, for me, yes it's still considered as an addiction, but in a healthy way. Although I wouldn't really call it as an addiction, rather a passion because they do it with ease and it has a good outcome for them. This is because they know how to control their betting and plays, not going overboard to becoming bankrupt just for the sake of chasing winnings, rather making an effort to earn more profit without sacrificing their current earnings. They are strategic and smart like that.

This is because gambling addicts only want to gamble and they tend to find it difficult to stop gambling before their money runs out. But that may not happen, especially since we are not gambling addicts. Everything is possible and it will depend on each gambler and gambling addicts can win and achieve financial freedom through gambling. But it seems that it will not be easy because continuing to gamble means we are willing to accept all the risks that can occur in gambling. But the impact of gambling addiction may be more dangerous than we think, and the difference may lie in self-control.

If addiction has a negative effect, then the impact on our relationship is also negative. But let's look at it from another perspective. Why do we always assume that when a person is addicted to gambling, they are losing more money than they can afford to lose? What if it's the other way around? What if a person is addicted because they are winning and have achieved financial freedom through gambling?

Isn't it considered an addiction as well when you keep gambling because you are winning?

What affects our relationship is not gambling, but the addiction in it, how often have we appear to be without a relationship, but when we are gambling as an addicted type then it separate us from the close ties we have with those around us, this is talking more of our personalities, what are the constituents of what we were being made of, are good are be able to succeed in controlling the way we gamble such that others don't see the negative influence in it manifesting over our lives.

There are some countries that banned gambling. Yet most rich and well-developed countries in the world allowed gambling. The most livable countries in the world also allowed gambling.

Gambling should not affect relationships because what's the big deal when we're just having fun within our limits? Unless someone is paranoid or it has something to do with beliefs. What affects relationships are addictions. Addiction is a disorder so everything that is too much is a disorder and is not healthy not just within ourselves but also in our relationships. Addiction to the internet, liquor, food, computer and mobile games, sports, sex, attention, gambling, and many more. But isn't it obvious that addiction affects relationships?

Well, stopping is out of the question for the most because addicted gamblers can't stop in an instant and that's why they're facing these consequences. If it's just easy as we say for someone to stop and quit, that would be easy for them as well and it won't make a ruckus and problems just as what we're discussing right now. That's why these problems including the relationships that these people are experiencing, this becomes their life lessons for them to avoid something like this to occur again. And while the others have seen this problem and trying to avoid it, they can make ammendments and adjustments for them not to have it.

absolutely yes gambling can effect relationships in many way, as first it will have impact on children of a family which will also be involved in gambling. There are lots of gamblers with which neither his family members wants to continue relationships nor his friends do so.

In today's era people don't make any relationships with those who are not financially stable may be he is a family member or some stranger. So the gambler is not financially stable therefore every person of a family move aways from him as they are in a fear that gambler will take loan from them and will not return to them back.

In short everyone wants to live a happy life and don't want a relationships with gamblers because gambler is mentally disturbed when he Don't have any amount to be use for gambling.

In any good relationship especially for gamblers life, antagonism can begin when one gambler constantly loses by borrowing money or gambling with the other's money. If a gambler takes money from his partner a few times and loses then his partner will become somewhat resentful of the gambler and at some point there will be discord between them. In such a situation, it is natural that the gambler's partner would ask him to take a break from gambling. If the decision of the partner and the the gambler are not same, there will be conflict and at some point the relationship between the gambler and the partner will be destroyed.

Even if you do have tons of money but doesnt mean that you would really be just treating it as fine because we know that money cant really be unlimited and if you are really that spending that much or having that

kind of impulsive treatment towards gambling then for sure you would really be ending up on getting wrecked. This is why it would really be always wise that everything should really be in moderation and the most
important thing is that you do really be able to inform your partner that you are really spending money on that so that there would be no questions asked and would be having those trust issues.
Can gambling could affect relationship? Yes of course on which on the time that you would really be hiding something specially money which wife or spouses doesnt really like then you would really know on whats next. 

Gambling isnt bad as long it would really be in moderation and you are really that spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose or really just that less or not compromising
yourself when it comes financial aspects. Take everything in control so that you wont really be having no problems!

The point is that according to the facts that occur, gambling has indeed harmed many people, the impact is not only on their own finances but as we discuss this, namely to every relationship with the people closest to us such as maybe a girlfriend or closest friend and even family itself can really happen. The best way is if you can better stop, anyway this is pointless, the victory you always expect never comes, and even if it comes maybe only once out of a hundred tries, and of course if you count it more your losses than the victory. But basically it won't be that easy buddy, quitting gambling is very difficult, maybe some people will say it's easy, and I say the people who say that are those who have never gambled at all. I think some gamblers also really want to quit, but they find it difficult to do so because well their minds are almost completely distracted with wrong assumptions. To quit completely in one go may not be possible but to slowly reduce it is possible.

That's right, on average when they want to start playing there seems to be no hesitation at all from them, they deposit money very confidently. I think it's one of the hypnosis of gambling itself that makes gamblers like very sure of the final result that they think they will win, but in reality they lose again haha. I've honestly felt it and indeed we really don't think twice about depositing money because there is such a strong urge there, but well there I don't fully expect results that are always good because of course before playing I have agreed with myself whatever the results I have to be responsible. And well indeed the problem point is there, when at the beginning they expect victory but the final answer is far from expectations, and of course in that situation many do not accept the results and I say on average they will start to get caught up with their emotions,
then continue to deposit money with the aim of revenge, and well then they will enjoy a period of addiction that will greatly torment their finances.

This means that your gambling is controlled enough so that you can limit your budget and also control your emotions. Sometimes when gamblers have become addicts, they often spend all their money, neglecting their family, wife and children, causing their relationship to fall apart, there are also times when they lose at gambling, they vent their emotions on their partner and We often hear news in the media about cases like that.

What is meant by influence in this thread is for gamblers who do not control themselves properly and as long as they can maintain a relationship with their partner there are no problems, I also gamble only my wife knows and even then she limits my weekly gambling budget, because I gamble often in weekends so he knows how much money to spend when I gamble, honest and open because I trust him and keep the relationship harmonious even though I often gamble on weekends just to have fun.

Although there's always a problem in my relationship, but it's not caused by gambling. Problems in relationship is very normal, there's no relationship has no problem.

Just let you know, I'm a quite active gambler and I never have a problem in my relationship because of gambling.

If someone have a problem about gambling, they need to seek a professional help.

Gambling can affects your relationship if you are a stupid gambler who don't have any gambling boundaries, who is less responsible and only think about becoming a millionaire through gambling, there is 1000 percent chance that the gamblers plan will fail and he will end up broke, this is why a gambler must learn how to gamble safely and responsibly, so that even if the gambling journey doesn't end well you will have other things going on in your life financially.

Everyone understands the risk but they fail to take it serious, I've seen few gamblers knowing how risky gambling is but they still end up getting nailed to the wall because of gambling, if they truly understand the risk why did they end up like that?

Gambling addiction comes with a lot of bad results, you will lose your best friends and your loved ones, you will end up be alone, because they are there warning you about gambling, trying to stop you from addiction, but you aren't helping yourself.

It's the gambler's fault when he does it and then every relationship that he's got and responsibilities that he should sustain are also failing. With that, better to stop and not gamble anymore if things are not doing well for you. It's not just going to work together but at the same time that might break ties from the people that are involved and affected by how irresponsible you are as a gambler.

This is like just a cute way of interaction with each other when both of them gamble. I don't see something on it but just how cute this relationship is and better to remain like that than arguing with serious matters because of how incompetent the other one in terms of handling the situation.

They make a decision on their own without hesitation, and they know the risk at the very first but they still choose having a play, the result will just come up when the game ends if the decision makes a good take or not, of course, if the player losses the game there's a possible outcome how they will response with this situation if the relative makes a discussion during and after the game the player surely will not respond or make a lot of conversation and open up whats happen. Only the gambler makes a good decision is once they recover of the shock they experience after the game. If you push them too much with that state of not good they surely make an impulsive decision that gives more risk to them or to their family.
