Gambling is one of the key problem relationships face.

How exactly is gambling a key problem? Gambling can only affect a personal relationship when addiction falls in place. When we speck of addiction, some how to me it's when someone who consistently loose to the house keeps playing to the extend of stealing or loaning funds to gamble. This way he is becoming stress over something he isn't certain to have a possible result which might leave him somany bills and dept to pay. From this, I will say such person is becoming irresponsible and this might end up damaging his relationship not only with a spouse but also to his local area. On the other hand for someone who sometimes wins and losses, understand his limits and when to stop, I will call this a responsible gambler. And such person can maintain a health relationship.

Gambling is a key problem when is kept a secret from your partner.That in turns translates in many other problems incoming from this,like less dialogue and more stress,you get mad when your partner talks to you for anything as you cannot think about anything else except gambling.

For me personally my partner knows and she also keeps an eye on me by telling me to stop sometimes when I keep playing for long hours trying to hit that maximum pay line in my favorite slot machines.It all depends on the relationship between partners and gambling may or may be not a problem based on this.

How i wish that i do have a partner like yours on which it do really allows you to play gambling without having those financial issues or possible quarrels or argumentation basing up on the amount that you are using on your gameplay because in my part even just simply wasting up that $10 on gambling would really be resulting into a whole day kind of quarrel or being that disappointed on what i have done. This is why it would really be better for it to be keep on secret as long you dont give her that lacking amount of your salary then there's no questions asked as long it would be complete. Grin

So far i dont have problems when it comes to my gambling game or session because the money spent is really just that an extra amount which i do able to earn here on crypto space.
I do never ever make my day job salary would really be reduced or would really be deducted because that would really be a long long story for me to explain on where those
funds go and this is something that i dont like to happen.

Yes of course gambling can have a significant impact on relationships and most likely , except for few lucky exceptions, in a negative manner under many different aspects of your life : it can bring financial issues when you cannot keep to a proper bankroll management, it often involves wasting valuable time in gambling habits , in worst cases up to isolation, it often leads you to lie to hide your habits or to deny that the time and/or money that is taken away from the activities that really matter in real life is dedicated to gambling, and also what is no less negligible the influence on your mood that it might cause.

So better being a recreational player that spend few time and resources on gambling rather then relying on it for your real life needs.

@OP you're asking about gambling in general, but you're talking about gambling addiction effect, both of them are different!

Imagine there are two people live in a same country where the monthly expenditure cost around $300 to survive.

The first person only earn $500 per month, he has $200 idle money, he's a gambler and he only spend maximum $50 per month, of course there's no problem.

While the second person earn $50,000, he has $49,700 idle money, he's a gambler and he always spend all of his money in order to get jackpot, he don't mind to borrow money to gamble more.

Which one has a gambling problem? the key is self control and gamble for fun.

Gambling addiction is a problem for some gamblers which causes various problems in their lives and also those around them. Addiction causes them to become more aggressive and unable to think rationally which covers their logic in thinking. Addiction is not a serious problem as long as the person is aware and willing to change, but it will be a problem if the person does not want to change and does not realize his mistake.
There have been several people I have met who are addicted to gambling and most of them are not aware of their mistakes and feel that what they are doing is not a problem for other people, honestly I really feel sorry for the people around them because they have to live with people like that .

Yes, it can make our relationships strained and it seems that some people have experienced this, especially those with partners where their partner finally finds out that they have often gambled and even spent a lot of money. That can cause tension between those who have problems and that is why openness is needed between partners so that no problems arise. Gambling addiction, apart from causing serious problems for the gambling addict, will also cause problems with the people around him, so this must be resolved immediately so that the relationship does not break down and cannot even be resolved. Gambling addicts must also immediately try to cure their gambling addiction so they can leave their gambling activities and return to their normal lives.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain. When it becomes an addiction it causes financial strain the strain can manifest in various ways including the loss of shared savings, debt accumulation, and financial secrecy which may lead to strained communication between partners. This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.

It happens to gamblers who have no management in gambling. Using finances haphazardly and not limiting the allocation for gambling is confusing with the budget for daily needs. This usually happens to novice gamblers who don't know the risks of betting at all, they just play according to financial conditions that don't really guarantee it. Using hot money that should not exist for gambling allocation. In fact, they usually try to gamble in hopes of big multiples. In fact, I often find this phenomenon in the neighborhood where I live, a few days ago a woman came to my house to borrow money because her husband always took the allocation from the house for gambling. Meanwhile, providing for his children and wife is neglected and he has to borrow from other people.
Based on this case, I can conclude that gambling can disrupt household harmony if you don't have proper financial management or at least if you want to gamble, make sure your finances are stable and have a regular income.

Like for example, the way you provide for your family is by gambling, it's like your source of income, it's all in gambling.
But overall for me, it's really not good that your priority is gambling instead of any of your relationships like family or friendship.

Gambling can have an adverse effect on relationships, but care must be taken to ensure that the time spent on gambling is not more than the time given to loved ones. For those who spend time gambling instead of girlfriends, it is not possible to maintain family relationships for long. There is no problem that you are constantly winning at gambling but the problem is that if you neglect your loved one then your relationship will definitely break up.

It is so sad that average people keep exeggarating gambling as life ending adventure. Obviously I did sports betting since I was 18 and my mum always hated it. She would always tell me to stop it. Most of traditional girls here completely against men that gamble. Its so sad because gambling is very enjoyable part of life. And not all people waste their life through it. I would tell my girlfriend that I use only portion of my income so she doesn't need to worry.

A gambler shouldn't be trusted with any public funds or hands over public offices as he may compromised the office. Usually a gambler is someone who is mentally unstable and unhealthy also unlikely to think wisely rather than profits making in every single bets that they places which is another problems we are all facing today. Whom ever that can control their gambling exercise can actually be reasonable although do not quotes me wrongly as their are responsible and educated gamblers who gambles either ones in a blue moon.

I don't know if some would disagree but I actually agree with you, gambler when they have the money on their hands, they have the mindset of using it in gambling which is really unhealthy, all of the money on them, there isn't a time that they would not to bet it in gambling. They really focused on winning and doesn't care if they lose everything on their hands like properties, relationships, family, unhealthy lifestyle and etc. Even if they won they would just come back for more which still results to losses. Gambler who managed and control themselves is really reasonable as they are not willingly to sacrifice everything they have just to bet it at gambling.

This is true, when a person is into extreme gambling he/she never think about the money in hand. Whether it is theirs or others money is secondary. They just spend it and further on losing once again borrow or lend to compensate the fund to be settled to the person. I've experienced it, once I received fund from my friend who stays abroad and requested me to withdraw and give it to his family. What happened, I thought of gambling with it and make little money. My calculations went wrong and finally I borrowed from other friends to settle it. If not this could surely be leading to some problem between me and my friend. This is the hard reality and we should have self control and focus on our job to earn keeping aside gambling just for fun.

A gambling addict will eventually have problems with family relationships, friends and co-workers. They were definitely the people he would turn to when he lost money gambling, and he would borrow money from them. Maybe at first they will be financially helpless, but when he asks for another debt even though the previous debt has not been paid off, it is likely that the people closest to him will start to distance themselves from him. The bad impact of gambling addiction is mounting debt, and most people avoid people who like debt because of the risk of default

If you have $500, you can gamble with $25. That is 5% of the money that you have or that you are earning. This has been what is helping me not to get addicted. Some people may have slightly lower percentage or higher percentage, but they must follow the rules and strategies they have on money management. If gambling more than that, it is becoming addiction. If you have a relationship, like girlfriend or wife, gambling can affect if you are not able to meet your financial needs but spending most on gambling.

For example, if your monthly salary as an employee is $500, 5% of that amount can be allocated to gambling if you can't stop yourself for a month. Because of this habit, I can say that you are at least a responsible gambler. But if you use $500 in the casino online, you obviously have an addiction, and that is not normal for an addicted gambler.

The fact that you don't have a gambling addiction and knowing that your husband doesn't like gambling can affect your relationship with your family; how much more if you have a gambling addiction? In addition to that, when you have an addiction, you can also not listen to your friends who are close to you who remind you of your gambling.

Looks like you answered your own question... Of course it is going to affect a relationship IF you become addicted to gambling or if you start spending recklessly on gambling. There are people that starts lying, stealing, or becomes careless during their gambling habit. Those kind of people starts neglecting themselves and then eventually they start neglecting their families and friends which in the long run starts affecting their relationship with them. As long as you are gambling for fun, then it is fine. Don't overspend and make sure to keep your family first before gambling.\

Yeah, still it can affect your relation. Imagine gambling all day and not listening to anyone..

Yeah when we keep winning = we will consider it as an easy income and we will spend the money recklessly, it will change our life and our relations with the family, friends and other people.

However, keep winning everyday on gambling is like a myth so gamble wisely and do not gamble with your life/future.

Totally agree on which if you already compromising your time and your priorities then this is really that affecting you badly which it would really be resulting into such things that you didnt really that expect to happen.

Be sensitive on people around you and dont really forget your priorities because things turns out to be a mess when you do forgot your usual things specially spending time with your family,friends and other relatives.
If you do able to stay still on what you are before then it would really be just that fine on doing gambling even on everything that you do as long you dont forget your priorities then it is really just that fine.
Gambling could really affect your mentally and emotionally and you do able to forget the things that you must do specially if you do have your family.

Play gambling on your free time and on the moments you get bored and never ever make yourself spend up the money which is really more than on what you can afford to lose.
Use extra always and dont compromise your family life savings and emergencies.

Well, it has actually already affected some relationships negatively, because the gambler didn't share his winnings with his partner, so the partner felt "cheated" somehow, as he/she would also like to have access to the prize and participate the decision of what to do with the earnings.
(....)

From what I observed, I know some families whose husbands are gamblers and they do it for a living, they do it to put food on the table for their family.
And that's why I think that their wife is fine with their husband doing gambling.

But what I also notice is they are fighting sometimes if it's related to money or their financial. So I came up the "What if the husband just keeps winning? Do they still fight?"

Gambling could be fun, entertaining, and rewarding but when not managed properly it could wreck a relationship, home and trust. It could destroy a relationship in the sense that the spouse addictive behaviour could make him/her to be irresponsible, unable to have time or provide for his family and possibly lead to divorce. In the area of trust, someone that's addictive to gambling in most cases cannot be trusted with funds because whenever money comes into their hands they gamble with it and they cannot plan. When they don't have money, they can go as far as selling their personal properties in other to gamble.

It didn't affect my life directly, but I know a friend who almost lost his wife because of his gambling addiction. In fact, his problem wasn't even the amount of money he spent on games, but rather because he preferred to stay on the computer playing games rather than dedicate time with her to do something together or simply talk (that's what he told me).

When someone spends a lot of time playing games, they end up neglecting other important areas of their life, such as family and even work. It is very likely that people who cannot control themselves will end up losing their jobs or divorcing their partners and even moving away from their children.

I believe that relationship losses are much more serious than financial losses.
