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.

First of all, I think you should try to edit your post title to "Can gambling addiction affect our family?" I think that is how it is supposed to be because, seeing it like this, people may think you are trying to pass information.

However, it’s obvious that too much gambling will result in losing our relationships with our wives, brothers, and sisters. Why did I say that? Because if you are gambling too much, you will definitely become addicted to it, and it will be uncontrollable in the long run. So you can see that by doing this, you will start experiencing financial problems. When you have used all you have to gamble and you don’t have money to gamble again, you will surely start meeting these people and start taking out loans to gamble, and there's no possibility of getting the money back. For your wife, what will make you lose your relationship is that you won't be able to meet her needs again, and she will feel she can’t cope with you again and choose to leave.

Anything that you do can affect your relationship. Even small things that are not your fault and that you have absolutely no control over. I think that if you are a gambler and an addicted one at that, then your spouse should try and help you heal from your addiction. However if all their attempts prove to be fruitless in the end, then obviously at that point I would not be the one to blame them of leaving the relationship. There is only so much another person can do.

As long as one does not drag down the other or hurt the other, that is a healthy relationship and it does not matter how anyone else views that spouses gambling behaviors. It only becomes a problem if it is a problem to the spouse.

But gambling addiction, just like alcohol addiction, does usually become a problem.

from the title I thought you were asking question, but it seems like you are trying to pass information to forum members.

I believe your title should have “gambling addiction” and not just “gambling” in it. Gambling in general does not affect any relationship the only time gambling becomes a problem is when the bettor fails to control their activities and eventually starts practicing gambling habits that are not healthy for example, accumulating debts to gamble, not managing their bankroll properly, chasing losses, and eventually getting addicted to gambling… those are some of the things that could lead to an unhappy relationship but if the person is disciplined and able to keep good practice then it won’t have any effect on them or their relationship.

So I don’t think it’s safe to generalize it, like I stated earlier.

Obviously we’ve all heard stories of someone spending their family’s life savings on gambling over and over again until their family leaves them. I’ve even seen this first hand with one of my personal friends growing up. It’s a weird problem to have a family member constantly losing their money gambling, but it’s a common one. Some people just shouldn’t gamble.

Gambling is one of the key problem relationships face. It is even worse when the gambler is not living up to his responsibilities as it becomes convenient for the partner to blame his woes on gambling. As a matter of fact, I have seen females saying they cannot be in a relationship with an active gambler who have refused to stop because they see gambling as a sign of irresponsibility.  Well, I do not completely agree with this but the attitude of a lot of gamblers actually add credence to this claim.

I have always advised that gamblers should imbibe healthy habits that will not make gambling interfere with their responsibilities. Developing a plan that covers the risk, style of play and targets will go a long way in addressing some of the bad gambling habits that send wrong signals about gambling to people.

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.
