Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 27. (Read 4383 times)

If gambling becomes an addiction, it can be very costly and destroy relationships. And if the gambling is small then the gamblers' relationship is strengthened and knowledge is increased. Gambling is only a strategy by adopting this strategy the gambler can surely become fulfilled if he gambles regularly. I have seen the consequences for those who become addicted to gambling both dire and estrangement from relatives. But we are mainly slightly addicted to online gambling and indulge in small amounts of gambling. People who are addicted to gambling for a long period of time suffer occasional losses, they get tired of gambling, then they run towards losses and these people lose their relationships and their intelligence decreases day by day.

Unless his/her partner has a lot of money, this will not be a problem. But if you were just a average individual who works hard for your money and then your partner just keep asking for it to gamble, then I will say that it will be a big problem indeed.

I have this friends though, when we gamble and let's say my friends partner is winning, and he keeps on getting that win and then he lose in roulette, then I will hear them arguing, lol. Because the girl will reason out that she is winning but my friend just keeps asking for those win and in return he has string of bad luck and so he can't return the money. 

Definitely. Gambling cannot make your relationship bad alone. Addiction does. When people gamble too much than they can afford, it leads to financial losses and maybe personal connections too.

However it can also affect relationships in a good way. Most people do gambling for entertainment. I also learned from this forum that there are people who do gambling to raise fund for charities. Responsible gambling creates income and genuine relationship with different people.

The first example I set is when a gambler is always asking for money from their partner and using it to gamble, but yet they don't win, and even if they win, before they return home, they gamble off their small win. If it continues like that, it will definitely cause problems between the two parties. In a situation where the man has refused to handle the important bill and is thereby only gambling with the money, it can still cause issues in the relationship. Again, your partner can ask you to stop gambling because of the habit they have formed in you, but when you don't want to stop, it can still cause issues. Before, I was having issues in my relationship because of gambling, but I did not stop gambling; I only do things more properly, and it's not causing any issues again.

If there is no awareness among people that gambling is not a means of earning money, they will just continue doing it without stopping and even borrow money from other people. Those who cannot return the loan money, that's when their relationship will be disrupted and even if the money can be returned, their relationship with that person will still be disrupted. So your gambling habit can interfere with your relationships with other people, and if it is disturbed, it may be difficult for you to repair it. But if there is awareness to start reducing gambling habits, they can slowly improve their relationships with other people because other people will see that they can change slowly.

The answer is very simple: yes, gambling affects relationships with other people, especially when it comes to affecting them in a negative way. You don't need to do much research to find out about this. when most people play, they lose track of time and money spent and problems start at home, things get much worse when the life of a young couple with small children, if the man starts playing a lot he starts to ignore his wife and we all know that women tend to not like being ignored, the man also starts to ignore his children and as if that wasn't enough on this list of bad things, he starts spending all his money on casino

because of him spending all his money at the casino, they stay at home without paying bills and this creates violent fights at his house, his wife starts complaining about him to the rest of the family and the problem starts to escalate so quickly that even his friends and neighbors find out that he is a person who keeps playing in casinos and loses money that was meant to pay bills, everyone starts to hate him and this person goes into depression, as he gets in depression and loneliness, he spends more hours playing games and becomes addicted to gambling. I read many stories of people who said they loved each other very much, got married and lived happily according to them

but when one of them entered the world of gambling, life changed a lot for the worst to the point that every day at home there were intense fights, attacks and in the end separation because the person who entered the world of gambling became addicted and they sold everything they had, so they had nothing left that would allow them to continue being a couple, I remember 3 weeks ago I posted a link to a sad story about a person who was married, had children and a good job, didn't play anything, until who one day entered the world of gambling and in 4 months he lost his wife and job because he couldn't stop thinking about gambling

gambling cannot possibly affect social life but gambling addiction can really disrupt our social life,
- if you are addicted to gambling you will definitely beg your friends to borrow money and will never return it,
- if you are addicted to gambling you will definitely be at odds with your partner because You spend most of your time gambling,
- if you are addicted to gambling, all you can think about is money and your desire to commit a crime is really big,

so the problem here is not gambling but gambling addiction.

The fact that impulsive gamblers have a destructive character in their environment, both relations with family or with people who are nearby, those who are impulsive in gambling have a negative impression in most cultural environments in this world and that is closely related to financial matters.

I think you can read the suggestions and explanations from other members, and that is not much different in the interpretation of what you ask here, I hope you get a satisfied answer.

The thing is that this time around, gamblers see gambling differently, as not just entertainment but as a means of getting money abruptly. That's why you will even see some people gambling with money that isn't there, and imagine someone you trust using your hard-earned money to gamble against your will and In your absence. it's definitely going to cause an issue between you and the person, and you will end up losing trust in the person. In such a situation, the gambling habits of that person have just interfered with the relationship between you and that person. That's how it is with some people and their parents, some men with their wives, some fathers with their children, and other scenarios.

There are different types of people in gambling, each of whom has a different purpose. Some people use gambling only to have a good time while others try to gain financially. But if the gambler's gambling habit turns into an addiction, then its effects will be everywhere. Be it a family member friend or relative. Gambling will have no effect if you engage in gambling with an attitude that there is a high chance of losing. But most of the time gamblers have different opinions. An addicted gambler is always an untrustworthy person in the eyes of others.

This directly affects your relationship with your partner if you are addicted to gambling. This is why many husbands and wives divorce because their partners are addicted to gambling.

A woman will definitely leave her partner even though he is kind, patient, understanding and has a number of other virtues, but if he cannot control himself when gambling then he will leave because the woman will think we are wasting his time. and money. A woman will think about how she can be responsible for her future when she cannot even control her lust for gambling even though it is clearly detrimental.

So, in my opinion, if you gamble, it's much better to hide your activities in front of your partner. Because it would be a huge loss if you quarreled with your partner just because of gambling. Gambling requires you to be able to manage your finances so that you can control yourself when gambling.

Or simply say that "IF THERE"S SMOKE, THEN THERE'S FIRE" kind of line on which keeping up secrets would definitely be putting you in harm on the time that your wife or your family would be finding out that you

are involved with some gambling activities but reactions would really be something that would be depending because if you have just done your role well as a family man or being father without making them
suffer in terms of living then they wont really be making out such reaction but if you are really that making out some significant impact then expect pointing out fingers and blaming time would really be next in line.
This is why its never been that good to consider on keeping up secrets because you would really be finding yourself on possible trouble if you cant really be able to make those reasoning.
This is what i dont really like on keeping secrets specially into my wife because sooner or later you would really be caught no matter what, plus im not really that kind of person who do really love on hiding
things from my wife and its really just that risky to do so.

I don't know for any other person gambling can affect your relationship when your participation in gambling is not well controlled, in gambling if you are gambling addictive and you are not given your attention to your relationship but you only concentrate in gambling , with such attention you are given gambling instead of your relationship it might lead to separation in relationship, but some people who is a gamblers will not know that gambling can caused crashed of relationship, what I believe and wanted us to understand in a relationship is that, when attention of both parties is being reduced it can cause bridge of relationship, because sometimes gambling will make you to forget about your family because you are only being willing to win gambling

Your gambling habit can definitely affect your relationship especially if you can't and don't know how to control your habits because when their is lack of control lose of finance is definitely bound to happen and in most cases addiction or that loss of fund can make you very aggressive to the point of even getting to the point of abusing your spouse because I have seen many cases of such scenario happening over here and most times the police even gets involved.

Hiding your bad habits (gambling addiction) is not a good thing to do. Because no matter how neatly you hide it, you will still eventually be found out, which is like the saying "no matter how neatly you hide a carcass, the smell will still be there."

By hiding bad things, this will only make things worse later, because a lie that is hidden is like a time bomb that will eventually explode. How long do we want to hide and run from existing problems (gambling addiction), so the best thing to do is to face these problems with courage and full responsibility and don't forget to always tell the truth to your partner, because we will never know What will the results be if we never talk about it and who knows, when you tell the truth, your partner may accept this and work together to find a solution.

And you have to remember bro.. That "Maintaining a relationship in the name of lies is more painful than a separation."

Of course, it is very influential if you cannot control yourself when gambling so that you become addicted. Actually, if you gamble just for entertainment, I don't think it will ever be a problem. However, in reality, many gambling players find it difficult to control themselves, which ultimately affects your relationships and even your life.

Because many gambling addicts, if we look at the news, they lose their cars because of their gambling problem and they lose their houses, they lose their savings, but what's worse than all that is they lose their friends and almost lose their marriages because of their gambling addiction. So be wise when gambling.

Yes you are right that mate that there's an impact once one of a family member get addicted.  And first of that is keeping a secret to your love ones cause we all know that once you are becoming an addict then all you need is to keep it on your own cause once you've been caught then it's a big problem cause your family will getting mad at you. And if that will happen then you will realize that addiction. Is not a good habit.

If gambling has damaged finances it will have quite serious consequences for the gambler's relationship with the people around him. The impact is not only for the gamblers themselves, but also those around them such as family, colleagues, and even people they don't know very well.
There are several types of gamblers who may be open about their gambling activities, but there are also those who are closed and tend to hide their gambling activities from other people.
those who are closed off from other people, which I think will have quite a bad impact if they experience financial problems. he can borrow from other people for various reasons without other people knowing that his money is being used for gambling. and it will be very bad when the addict cannot return the money.

I agree with that. that the casino never forces someone to play there and they just offer it. And in my opinion, gambling is not for adults, because there are still many people who join in gambling who are mature enough but still childish in their thinking. Where they always do silly and reckless things when gambling which ultimately leads to big losses and gambling addiction which causes a domino effect, namely relationship disharmony. So when we want to gamble, it's not just a matter of being old enough, but we also have to be mature in our thinking. Because when a person is mature enough in terms of thinking, he will always behave wisely and with a sense of responsibility when doing everything, including when gambling.

Gambling can affect relationships because gambling can almost destroy a person. And because of the damage to his financial condition, his behavior changes. And because of this, friends, girlfriends, family can create a bad ignorance with everyone. So it can be said that gambling can affect relationships
