I don't mind going to the casino with someone for a drink and a few games of whatever, but I really hate it when I'm ready to go home, but the other person needs a few more hours of play because they're chasing their losses or believe that their luck will come soon.
I have experience this many times as a land based casino player. I already made a few decent win and sometimes my friends doesn't want to leave before they are trying to recover what they have lost so I become bored that I'm forced to play again and lost my winnings. I hate that feeling. Just this weekends, I have to wait again, but this time since I already won, I went home instead. I don't want to wait a little longer because I know I can't control myself which may resulted in another not good experienced. Good thing I did that. Wake up very happy with money on my wallet.
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 think it has its advantage and disadvantage. However, it both are too into gambling, there will be a time that the relationship will suffer because of money problems. Unless one of them is really rich and can afford to gambling along with his wife or husband. Personally, its bad if both are massive gamblers. What will turn out to their children? Gamblers also? Its gonna be weird and a lot of issues a long the way resulting in a divorce or separation.
