Usually gambling and relationship wont work too well, bit it is depends on the gambler addiction level, of it is too severe usually it will end up badly, but if its only gambling for fun and able to stop whenever you want then you still can maintain the relationship

One of my neighbour is a gambler and he likes to spend most of his money to gamble and often in debt to gamble, they always quarrel, so it is a bad things to be in a relationship with a gambler

It will cause quarrel only when you spend money alloted for some important things, I do play sometimes with friends just to enjoy and kill time before when I'm not too busy, i think it will still depend on once attitude towards gambling especially if they get too addicted to prioritize it other than their relationships.

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.

In my opinion, I don't think that it is a good thing if both partners are gamblers. Because in gambling, it is not always a win-win situation. There are times that you lose, and you tend to lose big time, then if both of you lose, what will now happen to your life? You might just end up separating. So, it is still better if only one gambles, but not too much, and the other partner controls the other one.

Yeah it's true. I have a friend that he and his wife are really addicted in gambling and when they both lose they just quarrel and put the blame in each other and sometimes my friend cheated on his wife like he spend their savings in casino in just one night. And their children was really affected by their non stop fights and their future is also at stake. To make the story short, they decided to separate but then my friend realized that addiction in gambling will be no good for him and what really matters is his family.

Sometimes addiction, if not properly handled you'll just loss control with your life and ruined it. Just treat gambling as for fun but better if you can quit and just focus your time to the ones that you know what's more important.

I got some close friends who are deeply involved with gambling and unfortunately they are ruining their lives even more each period . Frustration is taking over day by day and they can't even focus on their studies or jobs .

Well, it depends upon the self discipline of the same person or both couple are in gambling habbitat work or players in gambling. But what you think if you are both gamblers are there as if you are a couple.. Are you suffering your self to go there or just play with it. I don't think that it is a good thing, if both couple's are gamblers.

Why is it strange for you? Friends, couples and even friends like to play together at casinos. I have seen on the movies people going together to Las Vegas casinos to play. It seems very normal for me, it's like people who go to amusement parks, clubs together to have fun.

I agree! Here in my place i always see my grandmother, my uncle, my aunties amd some of our relatives play cards and there's nothing wrong since they just want to have fun and entertain themselves. Although they we're not playing in casinos it's still gambling and i believe that it's much better cause they won't loose a big sum of money.

Still when you wager money there on any kind games it could make the atmosphere a little bit scary.
Make relationship between your family get broken due one of you cannot accept the losses , it cannot be avoided.
Gambling is addictive no matter you are in casino or not , everything will remain the same , really vulnerable.

One thing I know is it aint awkward with my girlfriend and I. We find it very exciting sometimes and we are the ones competing together to whom will get the jackpot prize.
Sometimes we keep our cards to each other and just makes a surprise afterwards.
I do like it when I know my partner is not too greedy also to take the win. Just moderately playing and enjoying the game.

It is quite awesome and funny to gamble with your girlfriend or best friends if you ask me. As a matter of fact, you do not feel like you are alone doing this habit. However, I have never gambled with my family members because it is prohibited in here.

Added to that, friends can encourage you and allows you to play and feel at ease.

It depends on how you define gambling, I think most couples have gambled together once in their lives.
Could be as simple as playing the lottery together or participating in a raffle.

I've also seen couples that came by our irl poker game and they both played, there were also other women there, so it's not that gambling is exclusive for men.

Yeah it is happier if we are with our friend, relatives or with our husband/wifr because we comfort each other if we lose and we celebrates if we won. If we all have control in playing it then there is no problem with that. Playing gambling occassionally would also be a good bond.

I have an a friend which happen to be my officemate and we do gamble together because I influenced him in the online gambling.
At first it was fun because you shared ideas, by the way we are gambling in sports, but later it has become a competition so instead of helping each other we are competing but in the end we are still both losers, damn no one wins but the gambling sites, that's the reality.

This is what will eventually happen the moment one person is winning by virtue of choices made while the other is losing. Personally, I don't see any bad thing in going into a relationship with someone who gambles because I gamble too this will even deepen the level of understanding the other partner in knowing what he does to make money in his spare time after all partners sometimes have interest in common things be it politics, video games, going out, sports and if making money out of it should surface, there is nothing wrong in taking it up.

But where issue will arise is when they are both addicted, that is not something to encourage because it will then mean they both need therapy because they wont be able to help each other.

same here in my country it is very normal seeing a family who are gambling or even it's their own relatives are their great opponents,also sometimes me,my older brother and my father playing tong-its it is our way of having fun or a family bonding and we don't see it wrong as long as you don't hurt other people.

i've known few couple friends who played in casino together and i don't think there is a problem with that. i guess that is their way to bond so there is no question about it. it is much better than to keep on fighting just because they can't relate each other.

If you take "me" at the place of an observer, I won't have any problems with someone doing it because I also do it. But I will never support somebody who would completely get addicted to it and forget their responsibilities that they need to handle of their families. And if it's about me, still I don't think anybody in my family and my friends have any problems from me gambling as they know that I don't get into it fully as well as remain in my senses to stop myself at times when needed.

I'm into a family that has some relatives that gambles. My aunt, me and my cousins are always gambling before and we are all opponents. There's no relative feeling when we gamble and the game we are playing is poker, so if there are some that was late to seat on the table he will just choose any of us to support and will also bet together with the seater. It's kinda weird since it's not normal to see people who are in the same family who games together.

I am married, and my wife bets a bit. Though I can't say we are betting a lot like before, since we think gambling should be really minimized since we are building a family together and our money should be secured and not gambled away. But both of us still bet here and there just for fun and with very little amounts and we keep it to a strict minimum. Like we just bet about 0.001 every session and not really add more in case we lost.

one thing I can really understand in gambling is that if we are in a scope where most people think gambling is a very bad place then it is certain that if you do, the main thing you will feel is the unhealthy words heard. In addition it is certain you will be ostracized by everyone or be a joke material. Gambling is beneficial, but if we do not understand gambling properly then it is definitely a loss we will always get.
