Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 7. (Read 3760 times)

So imagine how terrible gambling addiction is. Gambling destroys people's lives bit by bit. Those who have thought of leading their lives around this gambling game are the ones who have suffered the most in their lives. I have also seen local people in my area who are addicted to gambling and have lived their lives so badly that most of the time they have to go to people for help. Once addicted to gambling, very few people recover from gambling addiction.

A gambling addict will definitely prioritize his gambling over other obligations he has to do out there, just imagine how many gambling addicts end up having problems with their family and friends at their workplace because their behavior changes drastically.
I used to have a friend who was very active in gambling, he really found it difficult to maintain social relationships with his friends and even his own family, the thing that always crossed his mind was gambling and gambling, fortunately, now that he has recovered, he is able to be active well and reduce the intensity of gambling.

How can you talk about any risks, if gambling is not an investment, but an entertainment that constantly requires money from the user?

I recently watched a podcast in which a man engaged in processing for casinos said that according to his statistics from the casino for which he works only 30% of funds are returned to customers. As I understand this is some local casino in my country and other casinos may be returning more to players, but we don't have a tool to check this. 

It would really be just that total irresponsible if you do consider out on spending out that marriage budget on which addiction is really just that severe on this case.It wont really be just that affecting into your loved ones but also in other people that you do know as well in speaking about being irresponsible in terms of finances then this is something that will really be giving out that huge effect.
If you dont really like to mess up your life when it comes to finances and relationship then it would really be just that right that you should really be that sensible on the things that you would gonna decide with. You cant really just that give out some priority on things which arent supposed to be put up or would be minding in. It would really be just that impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself not be able to compare which one is important and which one is not.

As you've said, gambling will be a big problem if a person is using the budget for both of them and you've mentioned the wedding budget, If that's the case, possible it will cause a big problem and for sure that will be the root cause of why their marriage will not continue, it will be an eye opener for her partner and will be able to think about whether the decision to getting married  is the right one. when it comes to being in a relationship, I think it's better if we show our true character in the beginning so we can get to know our partners better, because it's hard to regret it in the end.

Of course, I think this is more of a question that is looking for a more factual statement. I think gambling would really be a problem in a relationship if you are using the budget for the benefit of both of you, like for example you use money for wedding expenses and then you use the money for your gambling habit then obviously it would be a problem in your relationship with your loved one.

The important point is of course as you said that all the problems started from them putting an amount of budget that they could not afford, if only they initially understood about the risks involved in gambling I think they would not be desperate to put money that they could not afford which certainly has the potential for problems. I think you have mentioned a list that is quite appropriate to the facts and possibilities that can occur. Therefore, understanding the risks in any case must be prioritized, do not take it all lightly.

Yes if you are suffering from family problem then that is big problem because you can't focus on gambling that problem makes your losses. Don't gamble in pressure and angry mind that will create losses in your gambling. For that reason many relationship break. Quiral with family members etc problem creat. In our country I seen people stonel thik for doing gambling. I also thik stable people being poor for gambling. It's very bad and it's actually happened.

Was this a question or a statement of fact?! )
You are one hundred percent right. After all, relationships are built on trust and broken by its absence. If a person cannot control himself and starts gambling with money that he cannot afford to lose, then sooner or later this will lead to a break in relations with his partner and to problems with friends and problems at work, as well as with loved ones and relatives. This is probably not a complete list of problems that a person can get when starting to gamble with money that cannot be put at risk.

All of this is due to their worsening financial situation, because with their worsening financial situation it can have an impact on their psychology where they tend to experience changes in attitude and behavior but these changes usually lead to negative changes. And indirectly this will make them different and it is likely that they will become more sensitive or more aggressive, because those who experience negative changes of course they will get angry easily even with small or trivial things, because their emotions cannot be controlled so they will always be angry and if their anger occurs with people who are easily angry too then there will be conflicts that could become a big problem, also with their own family relationships, If one of their family members is addicted to gambling then they are likely to experience a change in attitude where they will spend a lot of money on gambling and when they run out of money there is a chance that they will ask their family members for money and also if their family knows that the money they ask for is for gambling the family is unlikely to give it and those who are addicted to not being able to restrain themselves from gambling then they may get angry at their family who cannot give them money, A person who is addicted will experience many bad changes, so don't be careless about the impact of gambling where the impact can spread its losses.

someone who is married or has a family of course they must be responsible for their relationship to be able to maintain it properly. let's say this husband is addicted to gambling, because usually those who are addicted to gambling are men. When a husband who is the head of the family has become addicted to gambling, he can commit acts of violence against his wife because of his addiction that has made him change his attitude for the worse, because someone who is addicted to gambling usually they will become a more stubborn person, where they cannot accept advice from their wife or from other people, they tend not to want to listen to advice from other people because they only want to fulfill their gambling desires. With the husband who is addicted to gambling, he will only focus on his addiction where he will spend a large percentage of his money only on gambling, and of course this will have an impact on their family, where their economy will become bad with basic needs that are not met or always lacking, because the money they have is only spent on gambling because the husband is addicted to gambling. this must be avoided because it is impossible for them to abandon their family because of their gambling addiction. it's not good.

winning or losing at gambling can make them addicted to gambling, for example someone who gambles because he can't control himself when he gets a win he doesn't have the mind to cash it in, because he just thinks the luck they have is still there so they decide to continue the game, by increasing the amount of bets because they want to get a bigger win, where those who get this win will become addicted to gambling. And when he loses he will feel upset with his resentment that can encourage them to gamble again because many of the gamblers usually when they lose they will say "maybe one more bet" well this is usually there when they have lost, because with his defeat it will make them curious especially with a good game that can make him believe a little more will get a win.

I think that if they have gotten a win that is quite profitable they should think about stopping because luck will only come once in a while it is also unlikely to last long, even though he is sure of his good game it does not rule out the possibility of losing, however defeat still has a higher percentage than the percentage of wins.

Gambling is only liable to affect relationship at where there is no ability to control their emotions.
An irresponsible gambler is not worthy to be entrusted with a corporative (partnership) funds because where the gambler has run out of a gambling budgets, he is flexible to temper with the entrusted funds.

Imagine a scenero where a fiancees gambler who is an irresponsible gambler whom had fixed a date to their weeding and had accumulated and had savings for the ceremony but along the lines, one of the fiancees who is a gambler came across a guaranteed game and he was unable to control his emotions believing that he was going to make more money to add to their weeding event and finally he gets gets cut off that he losses the game, I am sure that there is said to be sentiments and bridges within their relationships which is liable to relationship breakout.

If we lie to our partner, of course one day they will be able to find out because once we lie, we will continue to lie to our partner to cover up our first lie and when they realize all the lies we have done, of course they will be very disappointed and they will never trust what we say again.
Indeed, it would be better for us to be honest about what we say rather than telling lies that are detrimental to the people we lie to. When we are honest about what we say, of course they will be able to understand what we say even if they don't agree with what we say.

Yes definitely,it can,it all depends on the way you go about it,if you started the relationship on a lie,and you told your friend you don't gamble while you gamble,the day she finds out,there must definitely going to be a problem because you never told her the truth,all you told her was a lie.One thing about relationship is that,what you tell your partner whether lies or truth has a lot to do when it comes to her mental health.I remember lieing to my friend about me going to see my best friend late in the night,when I went to see a match,she later find out that I didn't tell her the truth,and to be frank,from that day,she looked at me as an insincere person,and someone who always tell lies.Ever since then,I promised to always tell her the truth nomatter he she will react when I tell her.

If someone is addicted to gambling, he will not prioritize the interests of his family but will only want to fulfil his desires. His desires will be more important than the interests of his family, and from there, there will be arguments or fights with his family because he has changed and no longer pays attention to his family. A professional gambler would not do something like that because they have good self-control and can take good care of their family to balance everything. Apart from that, they also always try to avoid gambling addiction because they don't see that it will provide anything meaningful for their lives and their families. But if someone uses gambling as a place to make a living, he will have difficulties because gambling is not a place to make money. And that person should be able to think of other ways to help him make money. Many other places can give him the opportunity to make money so he doesn't need to make a living from gambling because it won't be easy.

Addiction to something, gambling, drugs or alcohol will not do anything good and will only pose worse risks to him and his family. When someone is addicted to one of these three things or even all of them, it is not only him who experiences the problem but his family also suffers. That is why we must be able to take good care of ourselves when gambling so that we can avoid gambling addiction and not cause problems for our families. And that will clearly destroy the family relationship between us, so if he marries, he could experience divorce and not be able to maintain his household. And it is indeed better if we spend time with family so that our family relationships can become closer and we can look after each other.

Yes, when most gamblers lose, especially when they lose large amounts, they will have quite significant changes in behavior so that this kind of thing will have big impact on relationships between families or social life.
But I sure there are quite lot of people whose attitude changes tend to become emotional levels that are more easily uncontrolled and of course this will lead to more complicated problems.
One of the best ways when you experience defeat is to leave the house for a while to just get some fresh air and win yourself over or you can also be alone in your room to rest.
This will be quite effective in avoiding bad things that could happen regarding attitudes and behavior when we experience defeat from gambling.

Of course, because we ourselves are men and when we have wife they will definitely not give us permission to gamble for financial reasons or addiction, this is wife worry when she finds out that her partner or husband has been gambling.
I sure that most gamblers prefer to hide what they do regarding gambling from their partners in order to avoid disputes and problems that could occur.
Likewise with me personally, when I knew that my partner would be angry when he saw gambling activity, I decided to hide it from him, avoiding the problem would be much better than solving it.

Yes it is real when a man gets addicted to Jaya he is not like a normal man. A person addicted to gambling becomes a fairly unbalanced person. A gambling addict cannot concentrate on his religion, his family, his business, so a gambling addict becomes a very bad person to his family, to his partner, to his religion.

I understand the aspect you are coming from and it is very logical to reason so. The reason be that some gamblers are very much aggressive when they lose. I mean if their bet goes wrong, virtually everyone will know due to their sudden change of behaviour.
@Onyeeze is suggesting that gambling can cause domestic vawulence at home. Especially when both parties did not determine unanimously to be gambling. Gambling among couples should be an agreement but if thean things he can hide it forever from his wife, good luck.

In normal sense can make a union to be separated if time is not taken, because I know quite well that the place that gambling can make issues to manifest in relationships is the area of concentration and I believe that gambling is all about concentration and when you gamble and lose you will not like to give your partner time because you will be battered in mind, so I don't have anything to say concerning gambling and relationship, because a man who doesn't want the family to be shattered does let the family know that he is into gambling because anything that happens in your house the wife of the man will think that it's because he has lost in gambling that is why is behaving indifferent

It could, but it shouldn't. The thing is that if you allow gambling to become a major discussion inside your relationship, you already have a problem going on for you. Gambling shouldn't be a major topic for you and your partner just as with any other pastimes you involve yourself in. You don't make a convoluted topic about crocheting and how it takes up so much of your wife's time that she could've spent on you yeah? So why should you let gambling even be worth the time to talk about?

I say quit gambling if it already came to this point. Gambling's not worth anything you're dropping for it, that's the truth. If you're choosing between your partner and indulging your gambling tendencies you might wanna take a step back cause you're already cooked in the brain and honestly, I'd say you're addicted to gambling already, so make the choice that will make your life for the better and don't let gambling be anything other than a pastime you partake in when you don't have spare pennies lying around and you don't know what to do with it.

The error of trying to control someone elses spending habits might be the bigger problem really.  Is spending money on shoes you dont need a bad idea but plenty of people buy clothes and fashion stuff they dont need.  Its a hobby, bad idea to interfere with someone spending their own money.  The real fair argument is the proportion of money shared in a relationship to address bills etc.  keep people safe warm and well fed, that is a fair argument but within a budget let people spend the money on gambling or betting horses whatever they like, its their free time leisure they can spend it however they like.   Just have a set budget and theres no need for an argument past that, clearly you wont be into everything a partner might be interested in.

Yes, it would really vary on which there would really be those people who would really be that having those kind of relationship into other people whether their fiancee,friends or family members.
On the time that it would really be that affecting your relationship into others or becoming that toxic then it would really be just that right that you should really be that stopping it immediately
because if not then when things turns out to be messy then it would be a choice neither you would be proceeding on doing gambling and messing up with that relation or would really be
completely stopping and trying out to save it out? It would be your choice. We do make out choices which would really be that basing up into our own life decisions and the outcomes
that it could possibly give.
