This is very common for those who gambles very aggressively perhaps that's the reason why having self discipline is very important because it always reminds you when you are gambling out of line  because with self Dicpline it will be very difficult to gamble with the money that can course you emotional trauma if being lose through the gambling process, however one of things that can make someone gamble that much is actually because of greed, this factor has been the reason why most people has lost so many things through gambling because is quite surprising to see someone with his right mind will use all his money to gamble when he has a family to take care of, although in as much as the wife will be happy with the man after seeing that he has won doesn't mean that she will be happy with the man losing everything they have because of gambling, of course this has lead to so many break up in the marriages, so for me I cannot gamble with all my money because of the desire of making higher win and also I only gamble when I have a spare money that I just decided to try if it will work or not because I don't gamble irresponsible.

Gambling is not a something you will be perfect with it through out your winning because, there are some days you will lose for your wife to feel the sign of losing from you and, there are some days you will win in your gambling for your wife to feel the sign of winning from your smile which are some of the things people most notice from you.

The most important thing in gambling some gamblers need to learn, never to be addicted to gambling as a wife or husband because it can break up a marriage once your wife or husband discover that you are selling things anyhow to gamble in the gambling center.

Gambling usually benefits the house, while the player often loses money, dignity, respect, and even their family. Absolutely, its how people handle gambling, not the gaming itself. Gambling irresponsibility is a time bomb that will cause mayhem. Betting over family is depressing and leads to a disastrous road thats hard to recover from.

Its bad and irresponsible for a man to gamble away his family's future. Leading your family into a storm without an umbrella will get you all wet. Here, discipline is crucial. Important and non-negotiable. Discipline includes setting limits, knowing when to quit, and realizing that your actions affect others.

Wake up, irresponsible men. Whats left if you squander away your bread as the breadwinner? Just crumbs. You must take responsibility and be the man your family needs. All others, gamble with your head, not over it.

This has never happened to me, it is bad and everyone should avoid it. Gambling should not be by force, we should weigh our risks and not allow it to affect us or anyone that is depending on us. It is not always about gambling when people are saying bad things about it but the people who are gambling. Gambling itself is a neutral avenue for betting activities, it should not be blamed when we do bad things in it. Imagine this character you narrated, the guy is clearly a bad actor towards gambling. For the irresponsibility, there is no way it will not negatively cause issues for himself and his dependent(s).

I wonder how a woman can be living with a man of this kind of character, even if the woman is good, it will get to a point where she would get tired and no one can blame her because she is a human being. It takes two to tangle but if the other party is not cooperating in the union, it becomes a headache that anyone would want to get off them or avoid as the woman cannot be the one taking the whole responsibility all the time. What if the man is even the breadwinner of the family or even the sole provider? That makes matters worse. To avoid issues like this, we should always be calculative towards gambling and above all be responsible and ensure that we are not addicted to it. Being disciplined is a good way forward here and we should ensure that proper budget and management are involved in our gambling activities.

Absolutely marriage is for worst and better, but some people uses divorce as a threat to their partners anytime they are going against a kind of decision that will make them go back to the stages they have passed. You made a good suggestion here, to stop someone from gambling is a very big decision to pertain and you also need a stand without because if anything happens (good or bad) it is going to affect the both of you. When a gambler win bet he's always rejoicing most likely when the money is 30× bigger than the initial deposits, a gambler is always happy when he win bet but feels sad when he loses a bet. Although that's the nature of gambling essentially when they gamble for money/profits.

lolz. Marriage is for better and foe worst. It is not because of the gambling loss will make them to divorce themselves but they have to look for alternative way to settle their case. Both of them supposed know that gambling is for the ways either you lose or you win and that is where 50/50 come to play in gambling. So when you visit gambling hall you have to put at the back of your mind that you might lose and might win. Id you lose you have to wear thick skin and leave as gentleman and id you win then you go home with joy. The man too didn't try at all because if he was a responsible gambler, he would have made a provision to reserve some the money so that even if he lose more, small would left with him to buy some food items in the house. The man played the game irresponsible.

You were already addicted at that time, I'm glad you have been given a chance, others might end their marriage because of that mistake. After all we are just humans, we make mistake like losing money, but if that's the way to learn from our lessons, then that should be accepted fully as money can be earn in the future as long as we work hard for it.

Happy for you, I hope you are not anymore addicted with gambling now, as just like you, I also experience to be in the bad situation in the past where people hated me especially in my family because of gambling, but now that I'm able to control it, I can educate our relatives on how to be responsible.

This has not happened to me because I am single therefore no responsibilities and I had never experience to spend all my money all at once that ends me up nothing. But if that is the case I think it won't come to a point where she is gonna spend all of the money to gambling because I have limits and therefore she does as well but if she is really that hard headed and instead make here own decicion to still gamble that money and then lose it all I think the next step is to move on and warn here about that mistake if she has to ever do it again then we're done! Though divorse is too expensive I don't mind getting married haha.

I made same mistake in the past but that is one time only that all my month Salary plus my Christmas bonus have been risked and lose in gambling , my wife almost leave me that day lucky that Her parent interfere and give me second chance.
sometimes we must keep in mind that we are not solo in this world and there are others that need our support .

It doesn't matter what the love loss ratio is, no one should ever gamble regularly, if it is husband / wife, because in this case there will be no one to help, no one will be able to stop gambling. And when everyone in a family is a gambler, no one can save that family from the hand of evil. their descent is undetermined. So no matter what the profit/ loss ratio is I would not encourage them to continue gambling as gambling should only be done for fun.

You are definitely right, sometimes, things like this do happen for a reason, and some how, if we can manage to be patient and cope through it for a while, we will in the end discover that it was actually a blessing in disguise after all.

It's like what is commonly said that before a bull zooms forward, it first super charge it self by going back first, to come forward with full force.
Let's also use a catapult (also known as fling) for example, when we put a stone in our fling and are about to shoot the stone out, what do we do first? We first draw the fling backward, so as to super charge it, and the stronger we are able to super charge it, the further the stone will go when released.

Some times, before a man or a woman meets his or her breakthrough, he or she must first lose it all, the losing it all is that going back, the super charge, as for such person, the next event in their life could bring about major blessing or breakthrough that he or she will completely forget about all that he or she has ever lost in previous times.

So, running away in such a situation is not the best thing to do, but stick around and support your partner through it all, believe he or she have learnt his or her lesson and won't allow such happen ever again.

It's always frustrating to lose money while gambling, but we must remember that losing is a part of the process. But it's important to remember how to control your emotions when you lose; it doesn't mean you won't have luck the next time, but at that point, all we need to do is take a break from gambling and do something else which we enjoy, but some people don't recognize this; they don't want to give up, they just want to keep playing in order to recover everything they've lost, and they'll be under pressure, but the truth is, the more they play, the more they lose. So all they need to do is back off.In the meanwhile, give it a break, and one approach to avoid making such harmful choices is to make a strategy for how much money you are going to spend on gambling, as well as to take control of your emotions by exercising self-control, etc.

It's frustrating if it's happened to our family. I will now wait if there will be good changes after that worst experience. Even though disappointing, I will still consider it a blessing in disguise that such an incident happened as it will test my partner. Of course, my partner won't be able to handle that situation easily. As a partner, I will try to always be there to help for a better change.

As time progresses, I'm expecting that my partner will now be a responsible person and won't ever allow that bad experience to happen again.

Losing on gambling is more disgraceful than losing your through investment because they have different purposes. Investment main goal is grow your money through buying assets without any house edge unlike gambling that is design for entertainment purposes only since gambling games has house edge that will make players in guaranteed lose over time.

Even I will do the same about forgiving my partner if he loss his money on investment since there’s always like that on investment unlike in gambling that it’s a natural phenomenon.

That's something I won't allow to happen to me and my partner even I will admit that I'm a regular gambler.

I will make sure that outside my gambling habit, my finances are managed properly and can cover all our financial obligations.

Big thanks to my partner who's good at handling our family's finances and budget. As a token of gratitude for my partner's kindness and being responsible to our family, I won't allow myself to just throw away money in gambling irresponsibly. She knows that I always gamble and never she stopped me. I will keep my consistency in being a responsible gambler.

This will be so pathetic and absurd to think of,I never pray for it to happen to anyone close to me or myself cause it will be so disastrous and even lead to someone death in no time.
As a gambler you are prone to loosing and the tendency for winning too is also sure but why will one know all of this and still want to go extra miles to gamble with everything he/she had,it's devastating,I'll be so mad to such person because he's not something to joke about.

If by chance anyone tried it with me,it's a total shutdown and end fir such person as I will cut every ties and connection, communication with him/her and focus on how to regain from my loss.Any man that will have such wife that gamble's alot should file for a divorce in no time because the end results like you said loosing everything and nothing left will be something to pen down.

The truth is that gambling can cause major problem between two couples, because of how gambler is addicted to it, in the case when a man wife is gambler, it’s not a wrong thing for some men, but the only issue that if it is addicted gambling it will definitely attract a problem to the family because of the addiction, it is always advice for someone to set a standard of betting amount per month sometimes betting is good. But I wouldn’t advise Wife to go into betting because they are all emotional I’m very fragile. In the other hand, if it were to be a man, it will also attract the same problems when he is addicted.

In the film "Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King", there's a couple whose man has lost everything in the platform (QuadrigaCX).

She forgives him: it seems to me that this case is different, because in the end he invested and was fooled, which could happen in any business. Nevertheless, as we often say, only invest in crypto what you can afford to lose. Gambling is more of a hobby and should be kept under control, except perhaps in the case of card games like poker, where you can become very good at it and make a living of it.

I will never experience such, because I am not an idiot who will risk even 50% of all I have on something like gambling, I don't even take such risks on investments that are likely guaranteed to succeed, only an idiot would do such thing and if your partner leave you because of this it's your fault, who risk all they have on gambling? Idiots, and your partner just figured out how big of a idiot you are.

Partners are meant to forgive themselves but gambling is something that should not crumble your home, it means both of you are idiots if it happens unless your partner never knew about your gambling activities before, it's wrong to depend on gambling, it's wrong to trust any games of gambling that will prompt you to take big risks.

If the family you have mean a lot to you, gambling won't even get close to take this away from you, if hardship comes, learn new things, find better jobs, save up money and invest some, you will grow in a matter of few years and all your hardship will reduce, do not expect life changing opportunity from gambling.

Not being able to accept what our wife or husband has done is normal, especially if all the money we have is used for gambling until all the money is gone. It will be a tough time for us but anyway, it all happened.
We have to get up and get through these bad times and we can still encourage our wives or husbands that we can still get up and start all over again. That is a valuable experience for us so that we don't experience it again in the future.
It's better for us to learn that lesson and think about the next steps because that's what we must do if we want to change our lives. It may be hard to get up, but we have to try, especially if our wife or husband regrets everything he/she has done and he/she wants to show his regret by doing better things.
