Most times, why gambling could result into bad situation in a relationship is when the partner neglects they fundamental responsibility and gives all the attention to gambling,  this time they are gambling with family resources, or worse still selling of family properties such as a house or land just to gamble with, at that level, that gambler is already an addict and should have some medical attention to get some treatments if possible..
But if the partner still gamble in moderation,  it can still be worked without having such a negative reality on the daily life of the gambler, but then if you are into a relation and your partner did not have of see anything wrong with gamblin

I agree with what you said, gambling can really destroy a relationship especially when a person's gambling is out of place. When you become addicted to gambling, you will lose everything, everything you worked for will be wasted. We know that it is very difficult to stop gambling addiction, so let's avoid getting into this situation.
We know that gambling has ruined many lives and relationships, let's not let that happen to us.

Yes, you are right that gambling disturbs many relations and isolates the person from the rest people but here I am giving my point of view on it. People some time ago did gambling just for refreshment and to spend some time with their friends but with time it Changed and people used gambling as a source of income. Many people want to become rich quickly and for that, they gamble all their savings and when they get some profits they do not stop and do it again. You know gamble if full greed, and the human race wants more and more. When he lost all his funds in one gamble he became frustrated and did violence at their home though their relationship got disturbed and in my view, this is the reason. I am not against it but if you are doing then do use a small amount and when you feel better then return home.

When a man has nothing to do and has no way of making money and see only one option, they make sure that the option gives them what they want no matter the cost and that cost is what addiction brings to gamblers that want to make some money without having another means of making money. As a gambler, your main focus should not be gambling money but as a side way of making money because it is not guarantee in any form, by the time you have less than $10 with you and use it to bet and win nothing, you will be angry and you might want to recover that money lost which in the process can cause you more damage.


I can gamble and nobody will know, when I deposit money, nobody knows and when I win, nobody knows no matter how closer youa re ti me, that is how seretive I'm with betting, I don't interfare with gambling and my relationship, each have their own time and I'm sure that my wife will not tell me to quit gambling because I'm not giving her all the time she needed, unless she is that a bitter and selfish person that doesn't like me to gamble and I will not quit if she doesn't give me a congent reason to quit. Gambling kills time and should never bring rift between two people in a relationship unless there is problem of addiction.

There is a difference between couples and maybe people who are just dating. If it is ordinary dating, it might not mean much if the man does not reveal to the girl that he gambles and the relationship can be smooth without issues. But once it is marriage, I seriously advice that as a man, your wife should be aware of your gambling habit. This will enable her to be a check on you when you are gambling excessively. But blanking your partner out totally will cause a big problem and trust issues when she discovers.

However he hides his gambling activities from his partner but his partner will definitely suspect him and he will find out too, he will be suspicious of a change in bad behavior because irresponsible gamblers easily get emotional about things and they also attack their partner even though he has not done anything big wrong. So it is better for you to be honest with yourself, whether it is appropriate for you to hide gambling from your partner or gamble by implementing strict rules for gambling as entertainment and determining limits on the use of funds, so that you do not experience gambling addiction and family relationships will remain good, he also believes to allow to gamble because you do not use high money for any bets.

The gambler will not choose his life partner who was in gambling,it was good to have friendship then sharing your life.Because if the gambler became your wife,he know how much you are spending in gambling.So he will ask to quit the gambling,but if you many the non gambler as your wife.Then you are lucky to have a good relationship.Because she doesn’t know what is gambling,if you play the game without her knowledge.Then you will have peacefully gambling game,they won’t ask about your expenses until you had stopped the money giving to her family expenses.If you manage the bankroll will be the better deal to live happy life with gambling.

An irresponsible gambler that becomes addicted will affect everything that he does. Job, business, family, etc.

Be it known that everything that's going to make him money can really be affected because he's irresponsible. And that's one big challenge whenever a gambler faces that.

The sure thing with that is he's going to notice all of the changes and even if he want to change for the better, he'll have hard time.

Definitely yes, I think that the one who gambles tries to hide it from his partner, because if he finds out, it will have a bad effect on their relationship. It is unknown how far the player will go. If the game comes first for him, then the partner will leave immediately, because he does not want to live with problems that can drive him into great depression. It will be really hard to get out after this. But there will be those who will remain and constantly support and try to fight this problem. I can't say that this is good, because your partner condemns himself to long suffering and sinks to the bottom along with the player. This will not be a full life, it will be a constant struggle.

If you are addicted, not only will your relationship with your partner be damaged, but your business will also be destroyed, everything will be destroyed if gambling becomes an addiction. Usually, if someone has experienced an addiction, the negative impacts are very real, starting from finances and attention to our partner will also decrease because we will be busy thinking about gambling and forget our duties towards our partner.

That would be annoying to anybody, and sound like a deceit to most women. It's important to inform her about our gambling habit, same applies to a woman who gambles. Most men wouldn't be comfortable marrying a gambler because it could look like she's irresponsible and may not be able to stop. So, while the situation would differ from one person to another, it's safe to say that some people don't care if their spouse gambles, provided he's doing the right thing. On the contrary, the society has painted the gambling niche with a negative review and it's affecting lots of gamblers who are married. In that case, if a gambler doesn't inform his spouse about his gambling habit, he should be safe by hiding all his gambling activities. One would say for how long would that continue, before she finds out. Well, we'd always talk to gamblers about the importance of self-discipline in such a situation. It's better to conceal the information than to have gambling cause a problem in the marriage. Gambling addiction can erupt out of marriage problems or divorce, as the high rate of divorce is circulating in society. Only a few people want to remain in a marriage. Hence they're only looking out for a small problem, to file for the divorce. These challenges can cause a mental disorder to both spouses, but the gambler would suffer more losses. As he'd be vulnerable to addiction. Moving forward, nobody would want to tie the knot with a divorced gambling addict. Life could happen to the gambler, and things begin to fall apart. Like in a thread where the gambler, asks about loneliness as an enforcer of gambling addiction, if a gambler begins to feel rejected in society, he won't be able to think straight. Thereby, making multiple gambling mistakes. In a nutshell, I'd say that the player should keep hiding it when married, the same way he did during courtship.

Gambling itself may not cause a lot of problem with people involved in the relationship, but if gambling consumes more time, or worst becomes an addiction then it is not only the relationship will have an issue it will be also become a personal issue. I believe mere gambling would not caused that much of a problem if you only entertain yourself.

Finance alone would heavily affect, more problematic with gambling. Both end should meet in the middle if one party do really want to gamble, and would not touch the finance problem, again because of addiction.

I don't think there is a word 'overemphasize', best to describe it is that gambling affects basically everything from personal to finance.

Some partners do not actually like it in a relationship when it happens that their partners are into gambling and thus would like them quite and have them do another thing with their time and in such a case if they didn't, it might likely result in both of them having issues, while another angle where gambling could affect a relationship is when a partner has become so addicted to gambling in such a way that they are no longer giving much attention to their fellow partner in that relationship, and no one likes it in a relationship when less attention is paid to them.

If you are an addicted gambler then obviously your relationship will definitely have some clause to it, they are many cases of violence and all sort of illegal behavior that an addicted gambler is prone to and believe me you really don't want to see an addicted person acting up they will can do anything and will do anything to satisfy their urge and they do this especially when they are being restrained or deprived of that joy they get from their addicted habits.

Relationship is very fragile as even with the fact that the couple are sane problem still occur then to talk of a case where one of them is obsessed the case will definitely have a different view entirely.

Gambling has caused lots of strain in relationships especially from the standpoint of addiction.

The financial imbalance caused by gambling isn't cool with the parties involved, it makes parties prioritise gambling over responsibilities thereby leaving a sense of neglect to the other party.

The negative effect of gambling on relationships can never be overemphasised.

Gambling can affect the relationship whether it is well managed or not, that is if either of the party didn't like it and it was never shown before the relationship or marriage began. Some character can be hidden during the beginning of a relationship and they start displaying them when it has gone into the relationship. If the other party later discover especially if the question about such character was asked and it was denied.

For example pertaining to gambling, some ladies don't like their men to gamble for their own reasons, like such women usually feel it is wasting of money. So if the man deny being a gambler in the initial stage and later start displaying it, it can cause problem.

If your relationship affects gambling, there's nothing much to risk in doing that than when gambling is affecting your relationship, we won't want to have the kind of outcome in such, we can use our relationship to manage up the way we gamble in such a way that our relationship partner will also have interest in it and join us in support of what we do because we are not allowing one to affect the other and not like when we are being inconsiderate in our gambling through the way it's affecting our relationship.

Precisely! changes in your attitude because of what gambling addiction affected you can ruin a relationship, it's not gambling itself but the way
you handle your gambling activities is what matter most.

If you can handle things the right way, there's no need to worry about your relationship just be open and make sure to allow your partner to understand.

Without proper communication, the risk of ruining your relationship is really at risk.

You have said it all, gambling can change ones behavior more especially when the gambler start losing or start winning, when the gambler start losing he can do as you mentioned and it is very bad because it is only one that has become so addicted to gamble that can do so by getting angry when he or she is losing.
But when won is winning, he or she can be so happy and continue to gamble more even if he or she is tired he might still be staking because at that time he will be thinking that that's the time of winning and after that time there will be no more winning for a limited time.
And to fe frank, all this can happen if only the gambler is addicted to gambling. And if a gambler is addicted to gambe, he or she will have some slite issues in their relationship.

Gambling addiction can affect all relationships, as an obsession with gambling can interfere with personal relationships. Especially lies, betrayal or trust, and also financial conflicts are some of the consequences of gambling that can damage relationships with family and friends which can harm them because of the addict's stupidity.
And the most influential ones are husband and wife couples, especially those who are married or have a family, because this can cause financial losses which can cause the family to be neglected and neglect their obligations. And besides that, being easily emotional will also lead to domestic violence. And as you said, people are addicted to gambling because they cannot control themselves and this will have an impact on their lives, especially on all the people closest to them.
