I think the contrary since if my partners don’t know that I’m gambling then I don’t need to lie just to cover up what I’m doing since she doesn’t have any suspicion on my gambling habit. I believe I will be more often lying if my partner knew about my habit since woman is known for being nosy to everything that we do especially if it’s gambling.
I personally don’t lie about my gambling habits since there’s nothing to be ashamed as long as I’m using my funds properly while I can still sustain properly our daily expenses and other necessities.
Lying about gambling only means that the person is not doing well on his gambling venture.
It’s nice read woman point of view here in forum because my comment about my partner is just my assumption and observation since I don’t confront here with this kind of trivial discussion or else I will be sleeping in the couch.
I usually just provide everything to my partner and just get my allowance out of my salary while the rest is up to her on how she will budget in. I guess what I’m doing is right since your opinion is same with that.
Definitely, addiction makes you isolated with your family since you don’t want to get busted on what you are doing because you knew it’s not right.
