The main key may be mutual openness, because when our partner finds out about our gambling habits, there are two possibilities: firstly, he will accept it well, and secondly, someone may object to the gambling habit, because it is clear that gambling can harm them, and when everyone already knows There must be someone who gives in to the gambling habit, either the partner who gives in so they can accept the habit that has been carried out, or we who give in to reduce or even abandon the habit of gambling, because if at times like this we still prioritize each other's egos then the winner is separation.
In my opinion, gambling can indeed affect family relationships or relationships with a partner, especially if someone is addicted to gambling, they tend to experience changes that make them a more stubborn person, and tend not to want to give in. so if they already have a partner and they are addicted to gambling, I think gambling could affect their relationship, triggering a separation.
I'm inclined to think that if your partner finds out about your gambling addiction, it will always have a negative impact on your attitude. Luckily, I didn’t have to go through this, but my friend found out that her husband had a serious gambling addiction, and as a result, it had a very serious impact on their family budget, because he lost a very impressive amount.
In establishing a relationship, whether it is between a husband and wife or someone and their partner, it must be done openly. If one of them often gambles, they should honestly tell their partner so that there are no misunderstandings between them because this often happens to couples who don't want to say openly that they gamble. If they don't say it, one day, it could cause a commotion that could affect their relationship. If that happens, maybe they will separate just because of a misunderstanding or one person is always violent because he often gambles, loses, and takes it out on his partner. This is beyond the limit and people who gamble must immediately realize this and end their gambling activities by looking for other, safer activities. He cannot sacrifice his relationship with his partner, especially if they have lived together for a long time, because their relationship is more important than just gambling.
I say that everything should be open, not just like that, but because my husband (erlier my boyfriend) was active in gambling. I found out about this by chance, but he didn’t hide it and didn’t talk about it.
I just wondered what he was doing and he simply gave me access to all his accounts. I didn’t ask for this, but I was allowed, then of course I wanted to see the history of his account.
I will say this, I was lucky that my man is good at gambling, he systematically withdraws profits, and this was the only time I looked at the history of his bets, after that I never looked at his accounts.
