Gambling addiction is one of the grounds for divorce if you married someone who intentionally hid his addiction and then you discovered that he is a compulsive gambler and he's been rehabilitated and still coming back to gamble you can file a divorce for betrayal of trust.
Gambling addiction is one of the major causes of family disputes and contributes to a loss of the family's wealth, so if you're thinking of raising a family be honest with your future partner and ask her to help you cure your addiction, if she turns away at least you found out her feeling is not really true to you.

Its true that gambling can make addiction who just doing it badly .We all know that gambling is one of they of earning but it has many thing concern.I just mention how its work for a beginner ,He/She comes and start to win initial few bets and he/she things he/she could be rich within a short period of term thats how the addiction come .However it can be badly affected on relationship .If a gambler loose continiously he might loose everything and survive of living it can affect his family .Not only family but also in every serious relation where needs money each other to survive .I personally have seen few of friends out of his family for that .So it is seriously addiction for them who don’t  control theirself .

The problems of Man is Greed do you know that is Greed that triggers addiction?
Yes okay look lemme explain if you go gamble and it happens that you lose what is next for you to do, is it not to go home and focused other aspect of your life or go back to work place or your duty to start working?
Yes look were greed comes, if you gamble with at least $10 or $20 and it happens you lost the best the greedy ones will say lemme try to see if i could recover my $20 or $10 lost by so doing you gradually cultivate Greed into your minds and do you know the words "Cultivation"? To me this means to grow something or acquiring something and when that which you cultivated grows in your it would be very difficult to weed it out or cut it off. That is why today we finds many people calling themselves gamble addicts, to me is an intentional acts.

I think yes gambling really affects the relationship. I remember when I was in high school, my mom and dad used to fight because of gambling. that my mom was also really addicted to gambling at that time and then my dad found out that we were not given money for school so dad got angry with mom but they stopped fighting because mom stopped gambling

Gambling has a really big impact on a relationship, especially if you hide it from your partner. You can gamble as long as you control yourself and have self-discipline. In gambling, if you make a wrong bet, it can happen again, in a relationship, if you make a wrong decision, it can affect or destroy the relationship.

That is why gambling should not be for everyone. Although we all have freedom to gamble and be entertained, but some gamblers have hard time controlling their emotions and urges to gamble and eventually found theirselves into gambling addiction. And when it happens, they all lost control of their hard-earned money and spend everything until they end up being homeless. This is the reason why gambling becomes the top reason why families become broken because instead of budgeting and saving their money, gambling steal that chance and end up in a very regretting situation.

 That will happen once you spent whole of your money on gambling only without even cared if you do need to fulfill another need for yourself. Let's say that if you were lying to your girlfriend or your family about used, all of your money for gambling but you lost. it would be destroying yourself.
Im sure your close people will be keep distance from you. The different thing when you were only spending small amounts of money for gambling purpose and you use it as entertaining purpose only. I think that your close person will have no problem with it.
One of the most significant outcomes of extreme gambling addiction is that the individual may end up losing not only their close relationships, but also their standing within their community.

Without realizing it, gambling can affect good relationships into bad ones. The reason is due to jealousy and emotions that arise when playing with friends on many occasions. The first thing that came to mind was that he was really happy that he could get a lot of money because he always won, whereas I had spent a lot of money but never felt a win. This is called envy.
Meanwhile, in the case of emotions, we ask for something that is not given. It doesn't have to be when you are in a gambling situation. As a result of something that is not given, that is the cause of a relationship starting to break down and become tension by not saying hello to each other.

What the OP mentions here really affects all relationships.  Like boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives, friends and family, parents, brothers and sisters can all become addicted to gambling. Gambling is a game that can cause rifts in all relationships.

Yes you are definitely right as long as a man can make money from gambling everyone will be fine. And whenever someone keeps losing from the gambling platform, it becomes bad for everyone. So there is money as long as there are people. Again there is money as long as you have respect. So earn money in honest way and live happily and peacefully with family.

Gambling, extremely gambling that is compulsive has adverse consequences on the gambler and everything in and around him. The gambler doesn't immediately notices the damage that their compulsive gambling is causing until it is almost too late to be able to salvage the situation. Do not gamble with what you cannot afford to lose. Set aside at least 1%, at most 2% of your monthly income for gambling each month. That way, you would be able to meet your other financial responsibilities without failing and keep your relationship too. When these and other things are not adhered to it leaves a crack in the relationship and could destroy it.

Your wife knew a lot about you before and after the marriage, so your relationship is intact even though you are a gambler in the present day. But in my case the opposite happened to you because before marriage I could participate in gambling freely but now after marriage my wife forbids me to participate in gambling all the time. My wife is pious and religious ,my wife knows gambling as an abominable act so my wife always asks me to refrain from gambling. But most of the time I refrain myself from gambling because I value relationships because gambling can never be bigger than valuable relationships.

Gambling can have both positive and negative effects on individuals. However, if you are an irresponsible gambler, it can significantly impact your life in a negative way, particularly by endangering your financial stability and potentially leading to bankruptcy. This is why gambling operators always emphasize the importance of gambling responsibly, recognizing the addictive nature of gambling. Those who lack discipline are at a high risk of developing gambling addictions.

Conversely, if you are consistently winning in gambling, life can become financially easier, as the process of making money through gambling can be quite instantaneous.

The answer to this question actually varies depending on the person's purpose and addiction because gambling is just entertainment for some people and unfortunately addiction for some people.

First of all, I would like to start by answering yes to the question asked. If an individual addicted to gambling reaches a level where he/she loses all his/her money to gamble and negatively affects his relationship with the people around him due to gambling. His family, valentine and friends relationships will be negatively affected due to this addiction. In other words, someone who is addicted to gambling will have relationship problems with the people around them due to this addiction.

The answer to the question can be given as no for the following reason. If gambling serves only an entertainment purpose for an individual and if this person gambles only for entertainment purposes without reaching the level of addiction, his/her relationships with the people around him/her will not be negatively affected in any way due to gambling.

If there is only one answer to this question, the person should ask himself/herself the question "Am I addicted to gambling?" and learn the answer based on the answer he/she can give to this question. So, the answer to the question completely varies from individual to individual.

Agree on that statement mishandling the situation will affect not only you as individual but also those people around you,
with the way you will judge everything it will be more in favor of your gambling activities.

It's the relationship with either your family or your close friends that will be ruined since your focus is more on your gambling participations.

It's tough as you already being dominated by gambling and nothing else that you wanted to do aside from pleasing your gambling activities.

Imho the only way gambling can affect relationship are two cases - when you gamble and lose your second half money, or when you give more attention to gambling than to your second half. Everything else is can be negotiated. Relationship is a work, responsibility, sacrifice and compromises of two. Have an addiction - share it with her/him and find a joint solution. If gambling is fun, share it with her/him. But, gamble only with own money and value her/him over gambling. Or just talk with each other ffs, this solves most of couple problems.

What kind of relationship are you referring to? Is it our husband's, if there is one? With relatives or friends?Actually, all of that will affect what I mentioned. But gambling also has a good effect when you win a large amount of money from it. And when that happens, of course, your own family and friends will be happy for you.

But when you often lose gambling and your behavior changes because you have an addiction to it, your relationships with your family, relatives, and friends will definitely be affected.

My wife knows I gamble. She knew about it before I got married, because I am a supporter of trusting relationships in the family and disclosed all my hobbies. But I will tell you honestly that even if I spend on gambling a little money from the family budget she does not like it. I found a great way out of this situation - subscription campaign on this forum allows me to communicate on the forum and play gambling without spending money from the family budget. My wife is not annoyed and I am happy that I can afford to play slots or poker.

I got confused on the thread. I thought you'd asked a question but you've provided your view and not asked a question.

It affects you in all aspects once you get addicted and are not able to control yourself because you don't have time for your partner or family because you are more focused on gambling you've always had no money to spend for your family's needs and worse you've got a lot of debt because of gambling. But if you're not addicted then I don't see any reason that can affect your relationship unless you've prioritized it over your family but that is also a sign of addiction.

 Gambling can only affect my relationship when I don't have a control on my gambling habits. The art of gambling is a risky something and it's more dangerous when one allows himself to be addicted. Just like @Oshosondy mentioned, you play with an amount that can be easily parted away with, anf for such to happen, you'd need to have control because if there's a deficiency in control you can easily touch the remaining $475, after all you have the belief that you can get it back.
 Some have said it's frustration over current situation or some issues in the home that pushed them to find solace in gambling but just like every other bad vice can affect relationships, gambling is also part of them.

Of course it can affect your relationship to anyone since  you became in denial of everything as well it can affect your lifestyle and financial capacity. This is one of the root cause on why there are broken family especially if the affected adult mishandled their fortune. Hopefully we will not go in this situation so new gamblers should see the bad effect of expecting to much on gambling and make it as a full time habit since this could ruin their life.

I have seen friends, relationships and couples break up and divorce because of gambling. Gambling is something that gradually eating up people's financially. When you start at the beginning it will do as if it will not do you anything, but as you progress it will eat you up. When you start with small amount of money to place a bet and you win small amount so that will motivate you to increase the bet and probably you win that bet you increase again and lost the bet then you will be determined to win back the lost game there the whole thing burst out and you will be lure to be a perpetual gambler and you can't come again and your determination to win back your lost games led to the addiction of gambling and that cause the breaking down of financial security. You will be in the casino site or hall with the little amount you have so friends and family members would have quarrel with you always and before you know relationship has been scattered. Anyone who rely on gambling to survive must have problem with close friends.
