Everyone has the right to have fun as long as it does not interfere with others. So I see nothing wrong with people gambling as long as it does not cause problems for them, their families and people around them. If a person notices that gambling leads to problems, he should stop gambling altogether and find other entertainment because his psyche is simply not ready for entertainment that carries financial risks.

My partner if he knows gambling then he will be angry because he views gambling as negative so it is better to gamble secretly and not know how to place bets, so he will not tell how much he wins/loses only I know.

The important thing is that there is no greater suspicion then this can have a problem because it only spends a little on gambling so everything is fine.

It all depends on the individual how to respond to it but gambling will be considered more negative if they don't know.

Personally gambling is not a bad thing and as long as we can maintain moderate gambling or control ourselves while gambling then there's nothing to hide towards our lovers. As a matter of fact my fiance knows I do gamble, when doing prediction and is around me she would say change this team I don't trust them before the game would cut off. Most times I don't keep telling her all time but whenever she comes around would have to tell her or if she sees me opening the site she would say you stake game today? Okay lemme see the options you picked if they are favorable to you.

I gamble responsibly and so it has never crossed my mind if bringing it up with my significant other than it is going to cause a conflict. It is only those who gamble irresponsibly that will avoid any gambling related conversations because they know that they are going to be guilty of the negative ills that  might be discussed about gambling. However, even if you gamble responsibly it doesn't mean you talk about it at any chance you get. Keep the don't ask, don't tell policy with your significant other and others

I think one thing that I am curious of is the percentage of folks who gamble who are either married or in a long term relationship and how it affects that relationship and how the gambling is percieved by your significant other. What does your spouse have to say about your gambling? Have they or would they respond negatively or positively on this subject? Do you keep them informed on the wins and losses? or just the wins? haha. Are you honest with them about your gambling or is it something that is completely under wraps? Personally I've kept most gambling to myself as its usually a very small amount that is insignificant and therefore not really worth bringing up. However, If I had much larger wins, or losses. then surely I would keep my partner in the loop. What is everyone's take on this?
I am married and living with my wife and kid and I can boldly say that I have overcome the stage that gambling will be interfering with my family life, in the early stage of my gambling days, I was confronted with case of mood swings and lose of concentration when I try to gamble while at home, so from point I hard to set boundaries and make some adjustments that eventually helped me out of the dilemma, and at this point both my wife and kids give me the space anytime the noticed that I am serious on my phone or PC regardless of what I am doing that point in time.

I have heard a lot of stories about how gambling has destroyed many relationships, but what I also noticed is that those who find themselves in such situations are those who try to hide their gambling activities from their spouse, I think it is better to let your wife or girlfriend know you gamble so that they won't disturb you unnecessary out of curiosity.

When I have a big winning, I always tip my wife from the winning, and let her know it is her share of the gambling winnings.

I gamble sparingly but it still gets brought up often as my partner is totally against it. I only talk about the wins however Grin, and give some tips to quieten down the complaints.

I never actually bring up my gambling to anyone either as it is mostly insignificant, it just leaks out a couple of times.
