Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 5. (Read 4383 times)

If the parent's household is no longer harmonious, this will have an impact on the survival of their children because they are the closest people to their parents. Their children will probably see their parents fighting, and this will indirectly affect their mental health until they are adults. When someone has changed their direction and goals in using gambling, that is when something will change in their life, and this will affect their married life. If not treated immediately, it could have even worse consequences for the household and possibly divorce. Gambling can affect a person's emotions in their daily life and how they relate to the people around them. That's why we need to discuss what we are experiencing with our partner to find a solution and repair the distant relationship.

If a gambler realizes that his gambling activities can make his relationship with other family members experience undesirable things, he should try to reduce his gambling activities. He needs to get closer to the other members of his family so that their relationship can be restored to normal. He also doesn't need to gamble to get pleasure, but he can do activities together with his family members, which can also provide pleasure. This will benefit him and other family members more because they can become closer in their family relationships and provide comfort in their household. But they can continue gambling, and as long as they can take good care of themselves, their household relationships will not be disturbed because they can differentiate between their gambling activities and their household.

Indeed, maintaining healthy relationships requires effort, communication, and financial responsibility. The idea that gambling can bring disappointment and financial losses is the potential nature of gambling outcomes. Gamblers often face losses, and these financial setbacks can have a cascading effect on various aspects of life, including family dynamics.

A successful and fulfilling family life often involves open communication, trust, and shared responsibilities. Introducing the element of gambling, especially if it leads to financial troubles or emotional strain, can disrupt these essential components. Financial struggles and emotional distress resulting from gambling losses can strain relationships, erode trust, and create an atmosphere of tension within the family.

Gambling is still perceived as a thing of irresponsibility in my area, it has been a great deal over here. Once people around here notice that you are a gambler they start looking at you as someone who is not trustworthy to deal with. Despite the stories of people winning gambling has not really been accepted fully in my neighborhood.

If you're from a family or your significant other/lover isn't a fan of your gambling habit or they didn't come from a background that's enjoying gambling or likes the idea of gambling then gambl will definitely take a toll on your relationship, there's no way that someone's going to be comfortable with you spending your money on something as wasteful as gambling so they're going to voice out their opinions about your hobby and this will not sit right with you because it's your life and it's going to go downhill from there. This question is an obvious one already, I don't think I've ever seen a happy home where there's a family member that's gambling and loses a lot of money from that activity.

I am a supporter of the opinion that gambling will sooner or later bring only disappointment and losses to the player. I would like to note that relationships with wives are a lot of work that always needs to be worked on so that there is harmony in the family. And if failures in gambling have an impact, bringing chaos and misunderstanding, then this will greatly complicate life in the family. Therefore, I believe that if a gambler has a family, it would be wise to give up gambling, because if the family budget also begins to go to games, then trouble will inevitably follow. Not a single woman will understand such diversions, considering her husband to be a frivolous person.

Is it really helped its rare in our country a gambler fully maintaining his family from the gambling earning. In our country maximum people conect with gambling they are illiterate and they play psychical gambling. Maximum type they play poker or other games. That depends on luck maximum time. That's reason it effect in relationship in our country because when they win it's huge and when they lose that is more then they win. That's the reason that effect in relationship in our country.

That's not really the problem. sometimes because of a lack of communication or dishonesty with your partner, it really affects your relationship, especially with your family, there is no problem because you don't win, because in the end gambling is still the dealer who will win and make a profit, I have studied this, that's why I am open with my partner me that I gambled and I entrusted him to manage the budget.

If I was only given $30 by my wife, of course I would use that amount to spend gambling. If I win I will consider it a bonus, but if I lose, at least I will be entertained and fulfill my gambling desires, so honesty is very important in maintaining harmony in the household. partner or family, at least share more time with family than gambling, shouldn't gambling also not require hours, let alone spending a lot of money that should be used for life's necessities. The point is everything must be balanced and honest 

Yes, with the way people treating gambling nowadays is far different, getting your point, as long as the person who are attach to gambling
can balance his finances and time for his loved ones then there's should be no issue.

But, if the person got addicted and unable to balance his life especially the finances that he needs to cater, that will bring a huge problem as he's not
the only one that will be affected but everyone that are leaning on him.

Changes and adjustments in terms of treating gambling depending on how a person handles the situation.

Indeed such things as family problem affects the emotional intelligence of the kids, growing up. A home where both parents are not in harmony would raise kids who don't value love and kindness. It's crucial to help the growth of the younger generation by complying with the terms of our partners to maintain a happy home. Being in constant discussion with one another and asking questions helps a long way. We all need help in some part where perfection can't be assured. It's the duty of the next person not to condemn because it won't solve a single thing or problem. Marriage is more like a daily therapy session if one party is not comfortable with a gambler's habit. S/he is not in the right position to get sad, bossy, or argue over who stops or not. The gambler may not be happy and would end up becoming compulsive in the process, or get sad over his partner's behavior towards him and look for something else to do, or avoid discussion because he'd think the person will still circle back to gambling.

The right option as usual is engaging in a contribution that yields a peaceful solution. Adding meaningful responses can make the gambler rethink. Whether he's a responsible player or not, some options can make him think of his children and how gambling could be unpredictable, his actions may swing in a direction he won't control, thereby destroying the peace in his family. So, for the sake of the kids, one should do things that will make his spouse sad. And we can't continue to blame each other in a family and expect a good result. One person needs to accept that he's wrong and look for a means to amend his actions. Then given time he can chime into the life of the spouse that he doesn't like and share his contribution on how it could be solved. That's why both parents have to sleep in the same room, to settle their disputes in the absence of the kids. Because some gamblers who don't quit or lie about it, always have in mind that since their wife have an attitude that they don't like, they can continue gambling and their wife have no right to find out about their habit.

That's because there are no good outcomes if someone lies, even if it's not for the relationship with their partner but someone else they don't know. They will not be able to understand that another lie will cover one lie, and it will be like that if they do not realize their mistakes and start telling the truth. Their relationship with their partner will also not be harmonious, and small fights between them can become big time. Everything is triggered by lies that have often been told, and if this is known to their children, they may also follow what their parents do because these children are perfect imitators. And yes, when the truth is revealed, they can't do anything, but they don't realize that it has broken their partner's heart and cannot be repaired, and the only way is for them to separate rather than there be another lie that they will do again. His partner does not want to be lied to again and would prefer to live apart from him.

In a family, honesty is very important because, after all they go through daily with their partner, they cannot hide any lies, even small lies. If the partner is very observant, they will know if something is abnormal and ask about it. If we are lying, they will also know right away. It's difficult to lie, so instead of lying, it's better to say it honestly and ask your partner for their opinion or help on how best to do it. This will create a more meaningful discussion between them so that the problems they face can be resolved well, and there is no need for lies between them because the gambler wants to tell the truth. The partner will appreciate it, and they will help the gambler to solve the problem. This is about how the gambler is willing, to tell the truth about what they have been through and how they are willing to ask their partner for help if they need help solving the problem.

Well I have a little different point of view. I think when we start to gamble in very early ages when we are not settle financially don't have any jobs or money making oppurtiuties,  We are being told by our elders that gambling is responsible even though they gamble themselves all their lives.

As we grow elder we become financial independent and we are able to make our own decisions and then we are not being pressurized or asked to leave gambling because it is need depend upon our own mind set as we become adult.

The losses in gambling are also faced at both times when we are not financial independent and also when we are financial independent and there is no restriction on us.

For sure our relationship with our near and dear ones will become a big tense and may go to a greatest serverity level in case one becomes addicted to gambling and he is losing a lot of his household income on gambling activities.

I noticed a gradual shift is societal perception of gambling. When we were growing up, gambling was seen as a sign of irresponsibility because they believe it is only irresponsible people that gamble. But as time went on and probably due to success stories of people winning big amounts from gambling, that perception has changed dramatically. Many parents no longer demonize their children that venture into gambling provided they play within limits and it doesn't affect their duties at home.

I think the only time gambling affects relationship is when it is not yielding any returns because in a situation where the gambler is winning and making profits despite the loses that do come sometimes, both wife and the family will not have much problems with him.

No one has a negative tendency in gambling until he loses big in gambling. Everyone wants to continue gambling according to their capability. When a family member gets a big win from gambling, the family members cheer him or they enjoy it, but when they lose, there is a problem. My point is that winning and losing in gambling are not fixed so it is not right to look at it only negatively. Some family members who are desperate for gambling due to which their big losses cause financial loss to the family. When family members feel lacking in something and when it reaches extremes only the relationship is ruined. If a gambler conducts gambling within his limits then the relationship is not nullified.

Anyone who has been in a relationship would understand that lying can be crucial in saving the relationship status from becoming tiring. Because sometimes telling the truth may end the relationship prematurely. But the truth is very good, as we don't know how good it could be to the next person's ear. As you said, one lie leads to another, which wouldn't be nice for the spouses. And one day the truth would be revealed thereby putting everything to an end. Hence, the gambler must stay truthful, if he chooses not to gamble when the wife is at home. In many occurrences, not all spouses would get sad at the truth about the gambler's habit. Provided that he's not toxic and maintains a responsible lifestyle, pays bills, takes care of the children, and cares for the spouse. Only a few people who don't like gambling would complain about the man's habit.

Those type of people has no good experience with gamblers and have seen lots of addicted gamblers misbehave. Hence, they'll think their gambling husband will one day act like an addicted person. In a family like that, it's supper smart that the man says the truth even before marrying the woman. Because asking questions matters in every relationship. Whatever habit we have, asking questions to know the reaction of the person towards people with such attitude matters a lot. It's a lifelong union and the better we handle it, the more productive we'll get. One must be careful in matters like marriage not to fail in the process. As it'll demoralize both spouse's life and their productivity could be affected too, depending on how strong emotionally they are. Instead of having an emotional problem the gambler needs to open up before the marriage, to know whether to continue the marriage or not. Depending on the other person's reaction.

When a lie is detected, a person can create another lie, which will be like that for a while. Other people close to us will find out if we have lied to them, and even though they don't do anything and seem to accept our lies, in their hearts, they still won't trust us anymore. That's where other problems will arise, and because lies from us trigger them, these problems will become bigger, and ultimately, a fight will occur between us. Many people have experienced things like that and ended up in divorce or separation, and we should be able to learn from their experiences so we don't lie. Small lies will become big lies, and when we have lied several times, it will make us uncomfortable when dealing with other people. In married life, there are bound to be imperfections between us, and the purpose of marriage is to complement each other.

Only by trying to understand each other can they try to carry out the goals they want to achieve so they can work together to achieve them. Gambling responsibly can be done if he really understands that there are obligations that he must carry out, so he must always try to protect himself when gambling. If he can be responsible with himself while gambling, no problems will arise, and he will also be fine with his partner.

It's really helped if a person don't good in gambling then it's tuff to bring money from gambling. If someone one bring money form gambling and give money to family then that is good. But it's not every time happened. Gambling losses effect on family if it's huge and it create distance in relationship. So play it carefully.

I don't know but if in that case, if the person manages to bring home money after playing or after gambling, it might be an expert
or a gambler who knows how to manage his finances.

Not saying that it's good for the family, but if he's really good in bringing money from time to time, that kind of outcome is not usual.

and the bad effect of gambling happens when money is really unable to be manage correctly, if the person who's engage is no longer
capable in controlling his finances and every time he participates only ends up losing.

   -   I have never seen an addicted gambler whose family is still happy because they often bring home winnings from gambling. If I were the parent of an addicted gambler, perhaps, to others, yes, they are happy. Even if we say that the gambler always comes home with a win, I would still not be happy for him because it destroys people's lives.

We also know that as long as we are talking about addiction, it is not good for a person. We know that everything that is too much does not bring good to his relationship with those around him, particularly his close family and friends.

One thing leads to another and a well-groomed relationship could blast into a full-grown fire of trouble because of a single match stick of lie that was detected. Yes, the gambler needs to stop to save his family from a long-term problem. Because when we uncomfortably participate in gambling, we may not be reasonable enough like when gamble in a stable state of mind. However, people are not always made complete without some problems. The wife also has some flaws that the gambler needs to live with. Every marriage has a dispute, one way or another, both spouses are not perfectly made. Peace only reigns if one person stays in a house, but once two or more people are under the same roof, at some point, troubles begin to erupt. Solving the gambling trouble doesn't end the problem of the marriage. It's just a temporary dispute, the brain can't leave the gambling slot empty without being occupied with some other leisure activity which the man must use to keep himself busy.

And the part of the woman's brain that wasn't comfortable with gambling would not be comfortable with the activity eating up the man's time, and vice versa. Because the man also has some things he doesn't like about the wife. Hence, in a family spouses need to have a mutual understanding, and help one another in changing or solving their troubles. Gambling responsibly is not a problem or trouble, but it could be a source of dispute in a family. You see the different perspectives that need to be settled, the woman's flaws could be fine in the eyes of people who understand her attitude, but not in the man's senses. For instance, we are the people who can differentiate between when a gambler is in his right mode and when he's addicted. But, some other people can't, they only rate gambling as wrong or bad. Nothing would ever make them understand that some are responsible while others are not, they only placed everyone in that same category. So, it'll be hard to stop issues from happening in a relationship, it's better to hold on to one trouble and solve it mutually and both parties accept some terms. Because stopping a responsible gambler from gambler, may not be the right solution for the relationship.

When he can be a responsible gambler, but his partner does not like him being involved in gambling, it will disrupt his relationship with his partner. His partner will ask him to stop gambling on the pretext that someone could lose his responsibility for gambling, especially when that person loses a lot of money because of his losses. But the gambler said he would be fine in gambling, and there would be no problems whatsoever. Yes, each of them is right, and no one can be blamed, but for the sake of a good domestic life, there needs to be deeper communication between them to understand each other's desires. But it is better for a gambler to stop gambling, especially if he is married, because there is no guarantee that he can still be responsible when he gambles.

If he continues to gamble when his wife is not at home even though the gambler has said that he has stopped gambling, that is the same as lying to his wife, and he and his wife will probably know that the gambler is lying. If that happens, it will trigger arguments between the two, and inevitably, small problems will become big. With so many interesting things found in casinos, it can really make someone forget their responsibilities while gambling, and this is what their partner is worried about. His partner does not want to see the gambler lose control of himself and use more money, even family money, to gamble.
