Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 27. (Read 3760 times)

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

It can only be valid if aside from keeping your secret you also maintain your finances, if it's not affecting you in terms of financial aspect
maybe you can keep that and not being notice.

But most of those addicted gamblers already exceed from the usual, and by that, they are also being noticed as most of the time the money
that supposedly for something important is being used just to continue their gambling activities.

What I do know is that every addiction we have can have an impact on our relationship; in other words, it does not only pertain to gambling. And the presence of an effect is determined by the outcome because there are both positive and negative effects. Even if you have an addiction to gambling, keeping it hidden will have no negative consequences.

However, if you are good at keeping your secret, you don't want to jeopardize your relationships with your family, partner, friends, and so on. Because, of course, once they find out, the impact on what I mentioned will be negative.

Not only gambling addiction, but any other sort of addiction also affects the relationship between the addicted person and his relationships. The person himself should be responsible on how he should not get affected or addicted to such things. In case of gambling addiction, if you gamble in limit by setting a goal or limit, then definitely you will get time to spend time with your loved ones. Gambling addiction do affect the relationships and the mental health of the person.

It is true that things are very decisive when it comes to how and how they can affect a person's life when they are quite addicted to a game, so in this order of ideas things can be very affecting someone so that they can take it their way, there are people that when they are addicted they leave everything behind, family commitments, if they have a partner they simply don't have much time for their partners, they just want to be in the casino, but of course this is a bad thing, I say that everything in excess is bad, the activity This caisno is for people who want to have a different time, something like going to the stadium and watching a good soccer game, forget about the daily things, the life that doesn't surround us, work, stress, everything that is considered as a mandatory thing to do and that we don't like very much, the casino is the best space to do it, but it is a game for adults, because it has a lot of sense of responsibility in it, a person cannot be 'losing control because first it is only their fault. Of course, in a casino they don't force anyone to be there or make a very high bet, much less do they tell them that they have to leave their family commitments, with a partner or whatever work, just to be there, no, that's why It is a game that only allows adults to play, it seems very appropriate to me because an adult person is only to blame for their actions and must answer for that.

A person who is always looking for opportunities to invest and falls here and cannot control it, will obviously lose money, time, and many other things if he does not have the self-control to know how to manage his life, because the game is excellent, because one has fun and you can even earn money by having fun, but personally it is something that must be taken with great responsibility, first of all not to go overboard with money and spend more , and certainly not prefer the casino over your family, relationship, or whatever, Because the casino is always there, many times people or loved ones are not, so you have to take advantage of the most important thing.

If you let it affect your relationship, yes.

The thing is that this type of discussion only comes up when you either took it out of the line and gambled against your partner's wishes, or you're falling into gambling addiction and it's starting to take a toll on your relationship. Either way you recognize that there's a problem, and you pretty much know what the solution is. I don't go against partners that are not happy with their husbands/wives gambling. For one, it's true that there are other ways for you to find catharsis and relaxation if the only thing you're looking for is entertainment and thrill anyway, another would be the fact that gambling shouldn't even warrant a serious discussion between you two. If it comes to that point you're pretty much fucked and you either have to choose between keeping up with your addiction, or staying within the relationship.

Even i would say that trust in between your wife or spouse is a must but im not really that confident on telling my wife that i do gamble because shes really that too serious on saving up money and spending is really that something that would be put up in something more useful and worth and gambling isnt included into that list. Therefore, whenever i do decide on dealing with some gambling game then i do hide myself in my own pc and make those rolls without getting caught. Its true that there would really be no problems as long you do really set out those rules and limits on which it would really be just that normal that there are really times that we are really that seeking for leisure and wont really be that bad to make some involvement or engagement with gambling because on the time that you would really be finding yourself getting addicted and you had already spending the money which arent supposed to be spend then it is really that indicating that you are already addicted to it.On the time that you wife notices out on those finance shortage then this is where questioning would happen. Then what you would gonna tell? This would surely bring a disaster once she would would be able to find out.

A straight answer to this question would be a YES especially if it as gotten to the level where addiction has set in, gambling in moderation is the best way to make your gambling habit negligible or probably go unnoticed to your spouse or partner, if you spend more on gambling than you do on yourself and your partner or family as the case maybe it's definitely going to be a problem to your relationship.

It will also interest you to know that the relationship dose not only have to do with your spouse but that with your friends, employer and maybe relatives as the case maybe, so much addiction to the casino can take away so much time from you that you may not have time to relate properly with the above mentioned people especially when you're suffering a loosing streek, your productivity at work may be affected as your mind may not be in check.

As always advised gamble responsibly so as to prevent it getting to this point where you will have to suffer all these mentioned in the above paragraph, regulating how frequently you visit the casino will help you and also the amount you spend on gambling so you don't suffer losses enough to make you go broke and probably depression might set in as a result.

I don't seems to have any problem with my wife as regards to my gambling activities,  as a matter of fact my gambling activities goes unnoticed to her since I gamble at a minimum level,  she doesn't know I gamble,  and the only gambling object she knows around me is stake and that is because she know I am promoting a casino call stake.

Aside from that,  she doesn't care to know how much I earn from gambling and what amount I gamble with since I placed everything in moderation and also place priority on my family.

To talk about gambling is to talk about fun. But indeed not a few people are complacent about gambling so that they are addicted to gambling. until in the end they neglect everything including family and work except for the gambling activities he does and he looks for money so that he can gamble not to support and provide for his family. "Gambling" should be played in their spare time to relieve stress after a long day at work. But unfortunately they cannot realize that so what happens to most gambling addicts, they spend time only gambling and leave their jobs and families. And not infrequently when he loses, it will make them depressed and stressed so that in the end the family becomes an outlet for his anger in gambling, which in the end this leads to domestic violence which ends in divorce.

Finances and the economy are always a scary specter in the course of a household. In living a household, communication is the key because everything that happens in a household relationship can always be discussed. Whether something you do is good or bad, you should talk to your partner about it, including your gambling activities. If you can explain this well then most likely your partner can accept it and will help you to find a way out.

I also know some like this, his parents almost got divorced because of gambling.
Because his father was addicted to gambling even the family's car was bet just to recover the money he lost, It was a brand new car lol but his father didn't win that's why the casino got their car because of his dad. And I know their father doesn't have a job  

A lot of people have experience this situation and the children become miserable
when their parents always fight or even end up getting divorced.

I totally agree with you about that. I don't think that gambling can interfere with a relationship as long as the gambler has some discipline and gambles within their limits. Your spouse should never have a problem with it as long as you are providing everything and using only the spare money for your gambling activities, because you are already fulfilling all the requirements and completing your responsibilities, so she doesn't really have to be worried about it.

But, as you said, if someone is so into gambling that they spend most of their money and time on gambling and are always taking loans and debts are piling up, that is when the relationships start shattering and they might see them breaking very soon if they don't do something about their gambling addiction.

Look, you say gambling doesn't necessarily affect relationships, and I'm going to call that out. When you gamble, you're playing with more than just money; you're playing with your life's stability. You mention "poor gambling habits" as if those habits spontaneously appear out of nowhere. No, mate, they build up over time. That's how addictions work; it starts fun, then it gets dark, real dark. Think about it. First, you're spending a little, enjoying your time. Next thing you know, you've gone too deep; you're choosing the casino over your child's birthday party. And money? Don't even get me started! Do you really think using family savings for gambling instead of, let's say, education or healthcare is a small matter? The problem starts the minute you prioritize the dice over your responsibilities. Take a hard look at your priorities and think twice before claiming that gambling itself isn't the issue
