But gambling habit is another case that we don't have to keep secret, especially from our family. They have the right also to know what makes us busy and besides, whatever happens to us like getting into trouble because of our addiction, they were to help us.
Well, I could say that I was different from you and probably different from others too because I believe that our family is a part of our life. Some things would be kept secret and alone but the majority will be known to them as well. I'd preferred to tell my family as trusted them most rather than telling my friend which could possibly spread more about the issue.
In my case, I have been playing poker for many years and my close relatives know about it, but it is a topic that is not usually discussed. It is like a taboo subject. I guess because everyone knows or has heard of someone who has had problems with gambling and they think that one day it could happen to me. This despite the fact that my finances are going well and I don't have any economic problems at all.
I suppose that if I went on television as a big poker star it would be a different story, but since it is a relatively private thing where nobody sees what I do at the tables, they feel insecure.
Well, maybe your family doesn't touch on that topic because they also have Respect for you and that is something that can be very delicate for them, also, since you keep your finances in order, they can't get too involved either , it's something that can sometimes cause them a taboo subject , but as time goes by and they realize how things are with casino games, they will realize that it is normal, for me it is that they do not want to go into details because some problems may occur, as long as There is an exchange of opinions and that there are different points of view, because things can heat up and perhaps the relationship that they have with each other will deteriorate, and since they are family, it is better not to touch on those issues, because not even they can change you , but you can. To them, that's like a topic when it comes to politics , many people don't understand it and they tend to get upset when they have ways of thinking that are very different from them.
What you say about playing poker and if someone comes out on TV wow that would be something very cool, because there they will see you differently and they may even admire you a lot and accept it in a way that they didn't think , but it's not worth it, I think that as a poker player as long as you do what you like, well you should keep doing it, being a famous person is alerting thieves and bad people to persecute you and your family , sometimes things tend to be better like this in a quiet way so that there are no problems that are generated later, the majority of people in the world are envious, the percentage of people who are happy because others are doing well is very small, it is difficult to find people like that .
However, the one you give is a great example, because just like you, there must be many similar cases where some do not dare to say it out of fear or for other reasons that can be very determining, there are times when in couples, women do not like that, and there are some who do not give Importance to them and even that can be a Reason for Separation.
There is certain politics inside a family and for someone who is not dependent and almost like a big shot in the family, no one will bat an eye whatever they do with their money. Playing poker could just be a taboo but probably behind his back, some jealous guys in the family (inlaws usually) are just waiting for his failure. You never know, some of them think their sister's money is their money.
I would be proud of my gambling also but I'm not showing it to anyone in my family not even to my wife. But I can talk so much about sports or even gambling strategies whenever we play cards.
The truth is I see your opinion as good advice, there are things that should not be discussed within the family because it can bring differences , with respect to the wife , well , also , even though you can live with a wife and she is your companion for what Whatever, sometimes you have to have a certain space, a certain privacy about things, sometimes women at any time can use that to say that we can spend that money and not on something that they need, the truth is that it has happened to me , and that happens to me for Talking too much , in that case you are absolutely right, there are things that one should not share like this, something very different, which is when we talk with our friends, that even while Drinking beer one always tells things what he does , the s he doesn't do , the way to have Fun and a fun topic of conversation Always comes out of nowhere , and that's when we talk about Poker, casinos , everything that has to do with fun, sometimes they are more trustworthy some friends that the same family in that Aspect, it sounds strange, it is Incredible , but it is the reality.
Without going too far, I have an Uncle and his son , who were Previously good, good people, especially if I find something that can give me money, I share it because I like that people around me also benefit from me, and I like that, but it happens that not with them , they have Shared many things where they have won, but I was disappointed in the way they denied me a Business Model, that they knew that at that time I needed quick money for an emergency, Well, my daughter was about to be born, and I lacked money , and they Earned a lot , they were not Able to tell me or Share anything, so these things bother me, for that Reason I also see that sometimes you can count on yourself and some friends , in bad times friends who go out, those are friends, for that Reason Sometimes Certain things must be kept Secret because in most People, whether they are family or not, envy is born , which I Find demeaning that people Feel, because at Least for me , I'm Happy if anyone in the World does Well, it is like that , but not Everyone is like that.
