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.

Play gambling in one place with family member will be very rare to see here in my place. We prefer to hide this habit from our relatives. But with best friends, we will do it if there are not enough people to play. We will share the money we won.

Exactly. In my place gambling is not accepted as something desirable in my place. Anyone involved in gambling is being talked about and is not always respected and if one of family members are found out to be gambling, that would be a big issue. Sometimes the person is being excommunicated in the family.

Gambling together with the family for the reason is to have fun is good. But gambling with the purpose of making more money is not good because winning percentage is too small and a high risk of losing all money. Playing cards inside the house with your friends and relatives is much more fun and can make your relationship grow stronger.

This would really be on case to case basis only since there are communities or countries which do see gambling as an illegal or immoral thing which if someone is already engage on it then treatment would really be different compared it was before.Factors that do affect is on the law of a certain country and in religious matter which gambling can be seen as an unacceptable thing.If you do have that type of family then better to avoid gambling if you dont like to be treated differently.

I think if both couple are gamblers, that will be a horrible situation. No one of them will neutralize the situation but both will be into it. And if one loses another will try oll the more untill their last penny will be finished. I will not take a gambler partner if i will be asked and be given a choice to choose.

It's different to be like that, you are keeping your gambling habit to your family and friends, I think you are full of secret in real life. That attitude I think would make you grow like a loner. You tend to secret everything.

Anyway, I don't want to gamble along with my girlfriend. It is either I can't concentrate on the game or I don't listen carefully to my girlfriend. As much as possible I don't want to do it both at the same time. I will always choose my girlfriend over gambling if I came to the situation where I have to do both at the same time.

yes in most of the societies and religions gambling is consider as ill activity, therefore people try to hide their gambling activities, in fact online gambling make it possible to play gambling anonymously, even your family and close friends cannot know about your gambling activities. you can now play gambling from your bedroom.

Technology can have a great effect in our lives and the effect can be for the better or for the worst, just look at bitcoin, bitcoin can be used for all kind of great things but it became famous because a bunch of people began using bitcoin to buy and sell drugs in the silk road.

The amount of money in your bank account is irrelevant if you get addicted to gambling you are going to have trouble it does not matter if you are rich or if you are poor since those that are rich are going to bet huge quantities of money and eventually their money is going to run out.

Totally irrelevant for an addict. Even the rich people that gamble know their limit and most of them just try to go to casinos just to have some fun and probably maybe some bit of luck may shine on them.

However, there is one thing with gambling that if it cannot be controlled, it can be extremely easy for one to lose all they have. Like you said, it does not mean if you are rich, poor, in a relationship or not, as long as you let your guard loses, then you are in for it forever if care is not taken.

I have never been in a relationship with another gambler, but I don't think I would like it very much. I wouldn't want to have to share the responsibility with another person because it would throw off my own game ---> nope, couldn't do it!

Gambling should not be for profit really, so it would be more enjoyable to play it with friends. It's not like we can profit from it anyway, let alone consistently profit from it every game. So, why not just bring your friends with you and enjoy it with them, if you find someone as your partner and he/she also gambles that would be great since you enjoy the same interest in gambling, though just be both responsible gamblers.

You have a point there. I don't gamble for fun so I don't look at it the same way, but I can relate because I like having my girl go with me when I do those things enjoy doing for fun ---> like boating, skiing, or bungee jumping .

I have a friend whose both parents gamble on a daily-basis. Fortunately for him, his aunt took care of him while growing up and by even paying for all the expenses. From what I heard, his parents are drowned in debt and about to lose their house if they do not pay the bank by next year. Luckily, my friend never bore any grudge from his parents, considering the circumstances that happened and he even offered to pay for the debt. What I learned is that, gambling can really destroy your life and affect everyone in your surroundings especially when it gets out of control.

Ouch. That's actually a different side to this. Some may find it romantic and perfect that two people have have the same interests, in this case gambling, but are too endulged in it that if they have a family, it gets neglected. The cbildren usually are the ones who'll suffer

I fully support you. I liked that you showed the reality instead of fantasizing things. If both the partners will start gambling and the worst case scenario that both are gambling addicts then who is going to look after the children.

Definitely they are going to face lone lines sand suffer a lot. Kids demand extra attention and only if sufficient love is provided to them then they can turn into emotionally stable positive people.

I agree but with the current situation that we have (depending on your relationship whether you have a girlfriend or boyfriend) it's the relationship, it is their thing to handle but it should be followed correctly and they need to be smart with their decisions. If it's gambling that you have a problem, you definitely need to address to correct it because it might just get your behind to be bitten.

What is the problem when you gamble with your friends and family? If you enjoy being with them. I always play with my friends after work, and i do not see any weird things when i play with them because when i am with them i always comfortable and i am having more fun in playing.

I'm pretty sure OP isn't saying it negatively but just asking out of interest, it's fair to be curious about it because gambling in general is looked down upon and is one of the things you usually don't share with your friends and family (a kind of a secret hobby, like *personal magazines* and the like).

For me I never hide my hobby which is gambling to my friends and family but there was one time in my life where I was not able to give them time because I was addicted with gambling but in the end if you really love your family you will be able to control yourself and minimize gambling.
We are just human which is prone to committing mistakes but as long as we know how to accept our loses, everything will be alright in the end.

I like to play online poker together with my wife. Not that we do it often, it's maybe once per week or even more rarely than that, but i do enjoy this very much. Sometimes I listen to what she says and sometimes I don't, but I play much better overall than when I play alone.

It is really fun and even strengthen the bond of couples if they do have the same kind of interest. Gambling can help it but it should be moderated since gambling work as poison as well. In a case where two couples are addicted on gambling, this will ruin their relationship since they don't have any control, the possibility of deteriorating their finance status is high and that may cause them to have an argument that may cause their relationship to break up. I have seen couples fighting against each other due to the same reason.

That's very unfortunate, but luckily not my case. We enjoy gambling, poker namely, because we gable for fun only. We never buy tournament tickets if the price is too high for us, which is $5+. It's good that there are a lot of possibilities to play poker tournaments paying from $0.25 to $3 for an entry. Those are tournaments we play mostly.

The gambling in a relationship with someone or girlfriend perhaps most people can receive his partner as gamblers, but more than they don’t like if their partner is gamblers because it is not a bit of a pair of her husband and wife were her relationship undamaged because one of her is gamblers because for enthusiast gambling when they lost the most of them will sell anything in order to get back gambled and the end of them up because in use as a capital for gambled

A little amused to hear that for me, I've seen a married couple, both are playing gambling at one gambling site and have a nice luck until often get the winning.
To me.. I don't think it's worth to do, it's can smearing the good name of a family I guess, and it's not good when viewed to many people in general.

Absolutely gambling can ruin any relationship if it is handled abusively, because every individual who involve in massive gambling has no more time for their family or for their love one's and as we know that time is very important in every relationship. Therefore if we gamble then we must have to plan the time to gamble and a time for our love one's so that it will not destroy soon.

I actually know a few relationships wherein one is addicted to some sort of gambling and it was actually a mess in my experiences as there is constant arguments and episodes. HOWerver I also know some relationships who ovcadionally dablle together on playing

Having a relationship with an addict is a roller coaster, whether that person is a friend, a family member, your spouse or your child, you are going to get a lot of arguments about money and even about theft this is why there are so many addicted persons that are completely alone since their families could not take it anymore.

There isn't going to be a balance in a relationship like that or for most that is. It could work at the start probably because common interrst is shared therefore more time spent with each other. But is it really spent with each other? It's moe like a reason to spend more time in gambling. And imagine how they'll be if they have kids running around with both of them unable to control themselves in their addiction?
