Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 28. (Read 4383 times)

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.

Gambling has nothing to do with a person's relationship with his family or friends, but because many people gamble too often, it can affect their relationships with others. They have to be aware of this so they don't gamble too often because it can make them lazy to leave the house if they gamble online and can cause them to use up a lot of money. Those who gamble too often will just stay at home and may not take the time to interact with other family members, even though this is important to do so that their relationship with their family can be more harmonious. They only care about gambling and will continue to gamble so they will not pay attention to things other than gambling.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as they can divide their time to do other things so they can still interact well with the people around them. It can also reduce their desire to continue gambling because of course, their minds will be distracted by doing other things. And if that goes well, they don't need to worry about their gambling addiction.

Never spend more than you can afford to gamble, no one wants to spend the rest of their lives with losers, the moment you start using more money on gambling you are becoming a loser without knowing it, you can't be making $500 in a month and using 300$ on gambling, you are slowly going into addiction, because you have some unrealistic expectations from gambling.

If you can keep using 2% to 5% of your monthly income in gambling you will never become an addict, this is my way of avoiding gambling addiction, it's not Bitcoin investment, which I DCA into every week and sometimes monthly, and this takes more percentage off my monthly income, you need to treat investment as investment, and the same with gambling, they are both risky still, gambling is way more impossible to achieve anything from compare to gambling.

Your spouse knows you more than outsiders, if they notice that you are losing yourselves they will surely try to talk you out of it, that's if you have the good ones, but if you aren't listening and you keep going deep into your addict part they have every right to leave you, because you only care about yourself and your greed.

As long as you still take care of your family and it does not affect your life then it is all good. You are right as long as it is controlled because gambling is just an activity where we do have fun and it makes us relax so there is nothing wrong with it as there are times we need it but if you almost played the whole day and on a daily basis then that is a problem for not only you but also the people around you. There are tons of us that are doing gambling just for fun and not addicted to it and our relationships are still intact. We just exaggerate that word gambling as being destructive even if not all of us are addicted to it.

You have spoken really well, gambling like I have always; and will always say' is not a bad activity for one to engage him or herself in , but like any other thing in life, gambling too can be abused, and when we abuse gambling, it negatively affects everything in our life, from finance to relationship, to health, to self esteem and so on.

A responsible gambler will know how to balance their gambling activities with their relationship or family, because if we are even to judge, family or relationship is way more important, we should never gamble to the extent that it puts our relationship in jeopardy, it's absolutely foolishness to do so .

Gambling as a source of income, would results in finance challenges because that's one of the poorest decision to make in life, absolutely no one wants suffering, everyone doing their very best to suits in the system and balanced their finances status. Gambling affects our relationship with one another, we always apply for what's think is right for us, preferably we often get what we craved for. Gambling literally affects anything that's relatable in our lives. We should try our best to keep things things set out from these complicated categories.

From what you have said this will only apply to professional gamblers who have more budget or who gamble for the purpose of hobby or fun and this will never apply to beginner gamblers or gamblers who aim to enrich themselves because the group of beginner gamblers aims to enrich actually have a big chance or just end up as a gambling addict.
Maybe what you mean is correct and good but it doesn't cover all existing groups of gamblers.

If you want time gamblers who really have active gambling activities usually take a long time they don't even know the boundaries of when to play and when to stop so in the end the impact that occurs is the loss of harmony in a household.
This is the biggest impact of gambling for gamblers who are married and could have an even worse impact if it continues over a long period of time.

Your title and explanation is not matched up, title says "gambling" only but your explanation says about "gambling addiction". These are two different things so I suggest you to edit your title because I believe what you mean is the addiction not the gambling that may affect our relationship. If it is about gambling without addiction, it can be still arguable whether it may affect our relationship or not, but if we talk about addiction then yes it does affect many things in our life including relationship.

Gambling does not necessarily affects ones relationship, but a poor gambling habits does. Because once you develop a bad habit in gambling, it will affect not just only yourself, but the people around you. For instance, if you have a family, it might affect your relationship with them if you spend most of your time engaging in gambling activities instead of having your time with your wife and children. It can also affect your family if your money was being used up on gambling instead of using it for more important things or the needs of your family.

Simply, there's nothing wrong in doing gambling. Problem only arises when it becomes a reason for you to develop poor relationship with your family, children, wife, friends, and yourself. So, it's better to have yourself reminded that gambling should only cause you happiness and entertainment and it shouldn't cause harm for you and the people around you.

It wont be a problem if controlled by time or a fixed budget simple time allocation would be good like anything, any hobby could be declared as destructive if completely unrestrained.  Its upto the person to recognize they need to trim down or completely stop something if its become an overwhelming occupation.  Gambling or any large interest could be excluding other people outside of that interest if they arent involved to the point you can discuss it with them then its almost as if you are not with them, make that hours a day and certainly it could be viewed that way.  Dont be too obsessive, it wont be lucky for gambling imo.
