Anything you don't let cause a strain to you, wouldn't dare do so. Whether good or bad.

What gambling is to one, is quite different from what it is to another. With such in mind, the reasons why you gamble, the activities you have to put aside to gamble, the resources and time it demands, should be weighed properly.
 I also think that if one gets lucky breaks or wins while gambling more often than losses initially, it is goes a long way to make one understand if it is something that would cause more stress and affect our relationships or if it is compatible with our living.

The gambling will not affect the relationship,but the gambling addiction will affect the same.Because from the gambling addiction the gambler will not give the money to their family,this will affect the family monthly income and expenditure.So the gambler also not contribute their girlfriend expenses,if he is unmarried and had a girlfriend.The gamblers will say some reasons and escape from their family monthly expenses.In later days,the family woman will not tolerate such things.Finally the wife of gambler will apply for the divorce,if he quit gambling.It may help to back his wife,or else surely the gambling addict family will broken into two half.

Posture would be totally be messed up if you arent really that good on handling your emotion and your mindset because this is where people do mostly fails on which having that control or getting in line with their initial plans earlier because on the time that you are on a situation where losing money then it would really be just normal for a human being to have that kind of reaction which it would really be that impulsive which would really be mixing out your mind and your emotion on which if this thing happens then you would really be losing of track on what you must do or to the things that you do have set earlier. You would be likely be forgetting those things along the way which it would really be resulting into those decisions which arent supposed to be done. Gambling addiction could definitely be able to disrupt or would really be affecting things specially relationship whether on your family,girlfriend or relatives which if you dont like for these things to happen
then it would really be just that good that you would really be needing to have that control or something i should say that it would really be that so crucial.

I have really saw two couples who share betting code for each other, yes they literally bet the same matches and the day it went well, they celebrate together and the days it cut, they laughed it off and act as if nothing happened, that is what relationship is about right, mutual understanding and the fun of it and what amaze me about their betting spirit is that they don't fund each other, each one of them bet with their money and it's literally  a penny from what they earn, so it's nothing to worry about and they discussed about the amount they stake each week to avoid unnecessary later explanations.

I don't think gambling affects relationship if you are been open to people around you, tell them you do and it doesn't change anything. Here, it's a normal thing as side husle for some and make sure that they have another means for putting food on the table, the day they won, they cheer up their friend and family and the day they lost, they still cheer up and turn up to other activities as if nothing really happened. Isn't that is how gambling is meant to look, fun fun all day.

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.

Gambling addiction can lead to many evils which strain relationships. How will you feel when your partner wastes the family savings on gambling? Some people even go to the extreme of taking loans and wasting the money on gambling. Some people are so addicted to gambling that they don't pay attention to their partners and children. Some have lost their jobs because of gambling addiction which made them mismanage their firm's funds or fail to perform their statutory tasks.

It is also abnormal to hide your gambling activities from your spouse.  He/she should be aware of how much you spend on gaming, your losses, and your gains. There should be open communication between both parties to avoid misunderstanding.  Gambling should be seen as entertainment and not as a part-time or full-time job. Gamblers should also have a gambling budget that will guide their gaming activities. When you are spending more than you have budgeted, it is a sign that you are losing control. There is always a need to periodically evaluate our gambling life so that we will know when to take a break or seek help.

If I'm not mistaken, we've even reviewed threads like this on several occasions in the past. but let's get to it, and I'll refer to the theme of the title of this thread. "Can Gambling affect your relationship?", of course yes, and that cannot be denied at all from the impact or consequences of someone who gambles excessively.
 
Well, everything you describe in this thread is the answer to the theme question of your own thread title. However, you need to remember again, gambling in this era has become a legal part of entertainment and is regulated by laws passed in every country where it is legal. Likewise with every license owned by a casino, especially those that have a reputation. gambling, is here to entertain every group of people who enjoy it. However, there are certain conditions so that someone can play it. one of them, is the age that meets the requirements. Everyone is free to play as they like, with risks that must be borne by the gambler himself, especially if in the end you lose the bet. There are lots of people who enjoy this hobby, some only play it occasionally, just for entertainment, there are also those who think that gambling can make instant money. However, many of them lose control of their gambling, ultimately becoming addicts. For those who have a relationship, whether household or partner, it will have an impact on finances and harmony in the relationship they build if they do not have self-control over their gambling. but not all gamblers who have partners are addicts.

It's important to know, addiction is a condition that makes a person lose control over something. well the question is, who is to blame at this point. the casino, or the gamblers.  For me, the fault lies with the gambler himself. because if you don't want to be part of a gambling addict, you need good self-control and responsibility. accompanied by a broad understanding of gambling itself.

Gambling is presented as the center of entertainment, but people have gradually taken it to a different level. In gambling, people tried to find temporary pleasure by placing bets. But now people could not keep it as entertainment due to excessive greed and addiction. Some have moved far away from their families due to excessive gambling. Someone else is sitting with doubts. A gambler cannot live a normal life under these circumstances. As a result of over-time gambling, most gamblers are now completely estranged from family, friends and relatives. If a gambler conducts gambling out of control then his relationship will definitely suffer.

That is the reason why a gambler should maintain himself on his posture when he gambles. Posture in a manner that mentally and emotionally, he's in control.

Because without controlling yourself, you're having a problem that only you have to deal with and also have to solve with. If you can't do that, you'll have hard time with your relationships and it's a domino effect even with financial strains as well.

If you don't have a balance of everything may effect the other aspects of your life,  but also note that any form of addictions is a negative pointer to everything,  and it will definitely affect your relationships and even make you uncertified.

But just gambling within the limit you set for your self will make you more responsible and giving your partner their own time and also allocating gambling it own time will go a long way to reduce the level of pressure on your well being.

You have some unusual views about gambling. Gambling "was meant to be" this and that? It is fun and light entertainment to many people, who do it very sparsely and not to excess. A small amount of people take it way too far and let it have a much larger impact on their life, which as you identified spills into personal relationships. There is nothing requiring any sort of mental agility, like you seem to suggest, about clicking buttons repeatedly on a slot machine - it is doing nothing more than stimulating the dopamine responses which reinforce habitual behavior. People misinterpreting the signals, which are very much engineered by profit seeking companies, are what gets them into trouble long term.

Gambling is not a bad game. But we look down on gambling whenever it becomes a human addiction.  However, I have personally seen many people go broke due to gambling. The reason is that when a person spends more on gambling than he earns, the world is in a kind of chaos. And from this chaos comes much turmoil. And in the meantime, two are separated in the world. But let us all be aware that this gambling game is used for entertainment. And never make this gambling addictive. Then surely there will be peace in our family, there will never be turmoil and there will be no separation of the family.

Well, here the root cause is lying and lack of transparency with your partner about activities that will harm the relationship when the truth is exposed and this is the same even if we remove the gambling from the string and attach another thing to it. So gambling affects you? No, unless I am doing it beyond my limit and hiding it from my partner or family and keep taking loans to chase loss which will accumulate as huge debt in no time.

Yes it will and in a very bad way. I can’t see a marriage lasting very long if your wife/husband is a gambling addict. Sooner or later either he/she won’t show enough interest in you or worse, she/he will lose too much money which could be spent on more meaningful stuff. If you love your addict spouse very much, you should first explain the situation he/she is in and then convince him/her for a treatment. If she/he refuses to get cured, then it is time to divorce him/her. It is not a pretty thing to do but some people can’t be saved…

Yes, I believe that gambling can provoke a gambler to change his behavior, which would then lead to the breakup of the relationship. But the main factor that affects a person is not gambling, because instead of gambling can be any other hobby, such as alcohol or food. In general, I believe that the fault is the inability to stop in time and it does not matter what it is about - gambling, alcohol or food. All these things are quite acceptable if they are not abused. Abuse leads to self-destruction. That is the main problem.

Would totally affect on the time that you would really be able to compromise anything doesnt matter whether it would really be towards on your family or your girlfriend or friends on which on the time that you are already

that compromising things or simply those kind of dealing isnt something that already healthy in between people then consider out that you are really that putting up yourself into some problems which it isnt healthy
anymore or simply not really that advisable on doing so. Gambling isnt bad as long you do have that proper control of it because on the time that you are doing those things which you hadnt done before
or you are simply that forgetting on what must thing should be done then it would be an another story. Playing is not bad but on the time that you are forgetting your priorities and
spending too much more in gambling then its simply showing that you are addicted.

Any forms of addiction is really that bad not only in relationship but also in finances,mental and emotional aspects which we should really be careful about.

Gambling doesn't cause harm in relationship. Addicted gamblers cause problem in every aspect of their life. Gambling is a simple game of luck. It cannot cause harm in your life. But if you addicted into gambling, then it's a problem.

It's very similar to other addictions like drinks or smoking. Till the time you do it under control, it's not going to cause harm. But once addicted, you face issues. Gambling is same. Controlled gambling is fine!

I can say that you should gamble with the money you can afford to lose.I have never acted in a way to risk all my money in life.Yes, I had a gambling addiction, I could lose money all the time, but people should be able to stop themselves at some point.If you like gambling, you need to allocate a monthly budget for it and not go beyond that budget. Otherwise, you will constantly go into debt and you will sink. Your life will progress in a very bad way and no one may not want to be with you. You can think of it like a swamp and as you borrow money, you are pulling everyone into that swamp in a way, and those who do not want to enter this swamp will want to cut off contact with you.

Gambling can not affect your relationship, the one that affects your relationship is how you manage your gambling activity.
Saying gambling can affect relationship is like blaming the gambling, while in fact the one to be blame is yourself.
We should not try to blame others for something that we do consciously, we have our own free will related to gambling.
If we can control ourselves, even if lets say we are addicted already, if we have full control of ourselves and know how to deal with our addiction for a better life, it wont affect your relationship.

That is why you have to be wise in gambling games because if not they will lose control of whatever money is around them will be used because they are addicted.

Stories like this have been everywhere,, including around my area there are people with the same fate and end up living a bad life due to their own behavior towards excessive gambling, he is far from his own family.

You should be able to limit how much bankroll should be provided at least as small as possible, and be disciplined in money management when you have lost out then after there is more money you can enter again.
