One thing that is very risky from having a relationship with fellow gamblers is prone not to warn each other when one or both of them out of control when gambling. When both have the same hobby of gambling, it is feared they are unaware when they are addicted, so no one reminds to stop...
Exactly! who will remind them to stop or to quit if both are engaged too much, its a risk specially if they already have some kids they will suffer
for this problem risking their money with a possibility to lose everything inside, better to find other ways of enjoyment instead of letting your
family's future at risk.

I've known a lot. My relatives and in-laws. I think its a way of life. I'm used to see them doing it. I guess its just a matter of understanding. As long as its a legal way and its not interrupting each one of us. Well sadly there are moments that conflict of relationship really happen due to gambling. Mostly its about the time for each other. When the gambler had already adopted to it, they sometimes forgot that most of there time are already spent to gambling. Not realizing of their other responsibilities or the time to spend with family.

Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc...  Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.
I am trying to imagine me and my wife always going to the casino to play some games. It would be fun though knowing you have someone you can always share the fun with and unless you both see it as fun, then that is when you will both be enjoying it, but if someone starts drifting and becoming unable to control the greed impulse, that is where problem would definitely start. But really, it sounds fun.

Gambling is very bad if you get addicted to it. The gambler really does not care about relationships etc. they are just concerned about money and the pleasure they get form gambling.

I have seen some examples where gamblers started staying away from their families just because they did not want them to know about their gambling habits. Gambling has really destroyed many families and made many families suffer a lot.

I've seen people like that. They forgot their family, they never think about them if they are fine or if they are eating right on time. But when all their money is gone, they return home, then fight with their wives. It is becoming a daily routine to them.

They never think about their future, when they grow old, and how will their children react if the gambler asks money to them. Gambling addicts should think about it.
That is what usually happens to most gamblers eventually. They know something is wrong with them, they know people around them will try to stop them, and they know how people end up seeing them. In the long run, they just seclude themselves totally and then end up destroying their own lives in the process. Most people when it comes to gambling do not like attaching relationships, so I guess that may be the reason why.

It is because they are lost in the world of gambling, they don't care about their family since they are too focused  about winning back their loses, what's important to them is their own benefits, their own satisfaction. Relationship will just come after gambling, even though they are losing their love ones, they don't even gives a shit, they are too numb to feel their family concerns about them on getting more addicted.
I completely agree with your saying. Gamblers have nothing left in their lives because they have lost both of the most important things one had in his life and that are family and money. They basically lose their family because they don’t agree with him to gamble and they lose money because they have lesser experience or too much depressed that they cannot focus on every game they play and loss happens.

Relationships are a two way street and the best case scenario is you find a person that can understand and even you think can be a big help to you. HOWever some relationships are fickle and there might be a time she asks you to stop and that might be a root for a misunderstanding
Entering on any activities that can affect the relationship, like losing time and having an addiction on gambling will really have a bad impact on the relationship. Have a proper time management and seek advises,don't come to the point you'll already lose them or youll lose both.
Just take a positive things , if you never do gamble together with peopl that close to you or with the people that you love then you'll never know the feeling and just make a misleading speculation. You can just imagine about that , maybe it's indeed the feeling are so priceless or maybe when it's failed you might lost every precious thing. Just Be caution .

I don't see the two have a happy ending, it always ends worse, we need to choose one out of the two
You have a good point but there are some instances specially a partners who came from rich family their bonding is gambling with friends to entertain them but the fact that they will be addicted and lost controlling themselve that is not good from they family.

Bonding with gambling is not need to make it daily if you and your partbers know how to gamble, it is good if they do that occassionally like my cousin and his husband did they invite their friend they play offline gambling while drinking beer but it is once in a quarter or once every 6 months.

I guess I'm luck enough that my partner as well as my family didn't mind me playing gambling, they even play along whenever I play dice or poker, it's just a matter of having time management and knowing once priority, i think there's no need to make gambling as big issue on relationships as long as your control on your betting still able to provide for what are needed for living.

I fully agree, it is about controlling oneself.  Why forget a hobby that a whole family can enjoy? I'm glad that you are able to take advantage of gambling activities and made it an activity that tightens your family bond.  It is clear, with your sample, that at the end, it is a person's action that will determine whether a thing will destroy or strengthen you and your bond with your family.

I think it's hassle if you are going to play gambling with someone. Sometimes it is uncomfortable especially when you are playing and thinking of him that was unfocused for me. And this seems destroyed my game and leading into losses. Sometimes it's better to be alone.
focus is required if one doesnt focus while gambling he wouldnt find out weather hes in profit or loss
he wouldnt be able to stop at the right time and might even miss your profits so always concentrate while
gambling
This is just not only with gambling but no matter whatever task you are doing, you need to stay focused in order to task in great way. As far as gambling is concerned, it is just like other games where though you are trying your luck but still need to stay focused in order to avoid any kind of blunder. Thinking about the massive losses and profits during the game etc. distracts you very badly.
thats right focus is important in most aspects of our life no matter how small or how least important the task is
if you dont have concentration is less likely that you will be able yo solve the task assigned to you

How will not you ever find out if you are in profit or loss in gambling ?
You do not need serious mathematics to do that or a special skill to know that. Once you get into the gambling game and you are sure of what you want to do or achieve before even starting, it would be not an easier for any gambler to make any decision to stop when it is time to stop. That is the reason many gamblers lose their relationships and hard earned money.

Never had any gambling related stuff with my family

However, betting and gambling with friends is just so fun. Especially on Esport betting where we bet on the same Team, everyone were so excited when the team we are shouting is winning!
Maybe I am just lucky because my wife has no interest in gambling, I really love to gamble and sometimes we cannot prevent to make mistakes when we spend more than the amount we budgeted, this might because a cause of bad relationship in the family but after a lot of mistakes I realize I should not be a slave in gambling, I understand my priorities and they are my family.

Sometimes it's very annoying if you want to gamble at the weekend but your wife wants more quality time, but so far my wife is very supportive of my hobby in gambling, she knows that I play gambling since before marriage and actually there is a big relationship where most of my profit from gambling is for a vacation with my wife.

I feel happy to know about you, that your wife is supporting you in gambling, because usually i hear these stories that mostly wife feel disturbing with gamblers husbands. But in your story, it is really strong relationship with your gambling and your family, and i feel good about your supporting wife then enjoy in gambling and also enjoy in your vacation with your family.

I don't see how gambling can make a relationship better unless you count the time you spend bonding but it can be a place to meet people and make friends and begin relationships.

It is about priority. You must find time for both or take her with you. It's nice that you share your winnings with her just don't spend it all keep some Bitcoin for your future together.
