Topic: Who should quit, and why? - page 16. (Read 2656 times)

Well, if they are good at what they do (if they are sports bettors or poker players) maybe they will prosper... who knows? It's hard to make any conclusions without all the factors. Anyway, people have passions and hobbies, and if they are careful with money, like if they know how much they can spend on things they like, I don't think they will get into any problems. In the end, it's all about being responsible... some people are responsible, they know how much they have and how much they can spend on something. And if people are reckless they will get into huge problems sooner or later, whatever they do.

This is so unfortunate. But they just reap what they sow. Being addicted in gambling really forces a lot of people to do bad things just to sustain their habits. That's why it's important to know your boundaries in gambling otherwise, you might fall into the trap of doing anything you don't think you could just to continuously fund your gambling addiction.

Gamblers and other people who have hobbies and some sort of occasional vices can still enjoy the present without compromising and sacrificing the future that is waiting ahead of them. We are always free to choose what we want to do, but the consequences can't be picked by us. So gamble responsibly.

If both husband and wife are addicted to gambling in a family then that family does not seem to prosper. The happiness and peace of a family is lost due to gambling. Those once involved in gambling can never quit gambling. Gambling is very dangerous.  Due to which family happiness is lost to those who are addicted to winning. When husband and wife gamble they will go very badly.  When the two gamble together, they have no one to rule them, for which they become very reckless.

They can hire a babysitter, but the problem is that they can't pay attention to their children because their attention has been consumed by gambling.  They're not doing well anymore. Knowing people these days are hard to trust cause I’ve seen a lot on the news that babysitters abuse the children that they babysit.  I mean you’re lucky if you can find a nice and responsible babysitter to look over your children.


Anyways, back to the topic, I think that one of them should stop in order to balance their hobbies in gambling and make time for their family. I just think that the husband can continue to gamble but he should report how much he earns from playing and how much he spends in gambling since these involve some money, and since his wife is also fond of gambling then they will make a greater teamwork. You know the one that couple did, brainstorming or showing each other’s tactics on how to win the game in the next play.


On the other hand the wife can take care of their children and if they have free time, they can gamble as their bonding as a couple, but they should set a limit so that they don't get too addicted to gambling and they can spend more time with their family.

Everything depends how they take gambling, if they are very discipline with the way they play gambling by not allowing gambling to control them I don't think their gambling lifestyle will be a problem to their financial life, but in the case whereby the both partners are gambling freaks and addicted I think it is very important for both of the quit.

I have just seen men who are addicted to gamble which they spend all they have with money that is supposed to be used for an important thing.  If this can affect a family just from one person,  think about when two partners are addicted to gambling, that means they can sell out their properties to satisfy their gambling urge  or to play always just to raise money from gambling.  

But I don't  see it good if both partners plays gambling. One person needs to be free from gambling to help the other partners when help is needed to stay way from gambling.

The wife plays a major role in keeping a family together and saving the husband from bad addictions. But when there is a wife in a family who is addicted to gambling, it has a very serious draw, it is true and I agree with this statement. So now if they have to get out of gambling then first of all the wife has to give up gambling then the husband can gradually leave it under the control of the wife. So in this case both have to try and promise with confidence that they will give up gambling otherwise they will not be able to get out of this gambling addiction. So here the role of the wife should be more about quit gambling

We think that you should not get into gambling or betting if you are addicted impulsive personality who can place a bet with a big sum of money, without thinking it through, and then stress out a lot about loss.

Advising the both couples to stop gambling is not bad because they have a family to cater for and as such should devote their time in doing that as their family and marriage is still very young.
I believe they would have lots of expenses to incur and possibly their income level might warrant them to stop gambling so that they can be able to cater for their family and meet up with the needs of their child(ren). This measures could help the save up more funds since their gambling budget is no longer in existence as per their agreement.

Oh, this is a situation of attention that parents will give to their children; it's a total different case, nah. If the father is a gambler and the money is also a gambler, aside from gambling, they might also have other works that they do to provide food for the family.
 
Both can gamble, but they will minimise the time they both spend on board. This is because the children will both need the attention of both parents, even if it's for a while, so it's not something that one person will give all attention to gambling and allow the next person to be in charge of the house.
 
Unless it's a family where they have a newborn baby, then I can say the child might need more attention from the mother than the father of the house, and for the time being, the mother will have to leave gambling completely if possible, as it might distract her from performing her motherly duties in the house on time.

Regarding married couples who gamble and look after the children, it is obviously more important to look after the children and it is highly recommended that both stop gambling.

Granted, the proceeds from gambling are huge and they could just hire a babysitter and continue their gambling.
However, if the husband and wife are already completely addicted and forget to take care of the children or even to the point of neglecting the children, one of the things that will make them realize is the huge loss from gambling so that they can think and prioritize the children who are also a fortune besides money and money.

Yes, I agree with what you said; they should be role models for their children or other people. They know that it will not bring anything good to their marital relationship. They may get along because they are both gamblers, but for sure, if that is true, that couple probably always fights when they are at home together.

So, it's only right that it's better that they both change together and stop gambling little by little, or make them do it so that if they still gamble, they don't play gambling every week. They will reduce their gambling habit.

By learning to be parents, they can learn to be more responsible in taking care of their household, especially if they soon have children. With the presence of their children, they will make long-term plans to prepare their children to become good people. If they don't stop gambling immediately, there will definitely be problems between them because we know that someone who has been gambling for a long time tends to become a gambling addict. This is very dangerous for them because they may already be gambling addicts that they may not realize.

Married couples who gamble must be able to stop their gambling activities as quickly as possible before things get bad and they cannot stop. They also don't need to gamble to get pleasure because when they have children, there will be other pleasures that cannot be described. That's what they have to realize so that they can both stop their gambling activities. No matter how difficult it is, they have to keep trying, and if they don't have children, they can change their mindset to get pleasure from gambling because if they can get pleasure from their family, it will be more useful. At least family relationships will be more harmonious, and there will be emotional closeness between husband, wife, and children.

That's why both of them should decide to stop their gambling activities immediately, and it's not just the husband or wife who stops gambling but both of them. That could give them the opportunity to change things for the better. And if they are going to have children, they can focus more on educating their children.

If a husband and wife can set a good example for their children, their children will also follow and imitate them because their children will definitely remember the guidance from their parents until they grow up. This requires awareness from parents to be able to pay attention to this problem because, after all, gambling will not always provide opportunities for them. Children may become aware of their parents' gambling habits, so they may try to follow them. If their children indulge in gambling even without any restrictions, it will cause problems for their children. Raising children today is more difficult than it was a few years ago, so parents must now be willing to learn more about guiding their children.

If a husband and wife lose their responsibility in taking care of their children and household, they can also lose their responsibility in gambling, especially since gambling can also cause them to lose large amounts of money. If husband and wife can stop gambling and commit to taking care of their children and household together, it will be more useful because at least they will make plans that they will carry out together. And the allocation of money for gambling can also be reduced for the welfare of their family so that they can make their family happier without anyone gambling.

It is truly the responsibility of both the husband and wife to look after their children. This alone is a responsibility that must be accorded the children by their parents so in that case of both parents comes together to sort out things for themselves and decides to stop gambling, I think that would be nice because they would have time for their family and this would help them to save funds or using it for something good in the family or  providing for their kids because the funds that go in for gambling would be channeled or diverted for house use which would be of good advantage to the growing family. Maybe the gambling budget they already made could be able  to invest in it.

If both husband and wife are gamblers in a family, it takes a very bad shape.  If they are lucky then they can win a lot of money otherwise their family will be completely destroyed. Because gambling is a very bad thing here no one gets any guarantee of winning and it depends a lot on luck so in this case both husband and wife should give up gambling. Because both are addicted to gambling, if one quits gambling and the other continues to gamble, seeing that he will fall back into gambling.  So in this case just giving up one's gambling will not be a solution. The solution requires both to give up gambling

In a situation, when both partners gamble, and rises a question whether one of partners should quit, I think it would be better to find a compromise. Finding compromises, adopt to your partners needs and wishes is the perfect solution for healthy relationship. Gambling should not be the thing that will destroy relationships and families. Couple can gamble simultaneously, they can have gambling shifts, they can gamble different games, they can share duties. I think no one should quit, or quit only as an act of sacrifice. Because the person who quit, can later blame the person who has left for losses for example.

I have a friend who had a similar experience where everyone in his family was addicted to gambling, they were playing all day and didn't really care about the consequences of their actions and surely some of them got in trouble for the same reasons and now are in jails without getting any chance of parole. Because of gambling, they became greedy thieves and they are taking it a little bit too far by entering the houses of their victims and getting everything inside as much as possible just to fund their addictions, but drugs also have some contributions to their actions because they pair it with their addictions to gambling that eventually lead them to get in jail.

In this case, it was good for the wife to stop gambling as it was not good to see especially if they had kids already at least one of the family would take responsibility for handling the kids. Time and family bonding are very important because if both are gambling, the impact on their relationship is not good. Even if the father/husband left gambling, he should still manage to spend less time gambling as this will help to have a strong bond and family communication which is very important.

Indeed, balancing life's elements, be it gambling, career, or hobbies, is a personal journey, riddled with complexities. But to say that the conversation has nothing to do with a crypto forum isnt taking into account how complicated the link between money and relationships can be. gambling, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency, isnt just a pleasure; its an exciting activity that often blurs the line between smart risk-taking and careless abandon.

Here's an idea: a crypto enthusiast who is very interested in trade is having trouble with a relationship. Whats the matter? Not only is it about allocating time, but also about values and how much danger someone is willing to take. People lose more than just time when they get involved in high-stakes gambling. They lose confidence, stability, and often peace of mind as well. In relationships, people naturally want safety, which is very different from gambling, where things can change quickly. So, while you say "theres nothing to discuss," I disagree. The area where financial risks and peaceful relationships meet is a maze that needs to be explored, especially in a place where financial risks are commonplace.

A strange question for a crypto forum, I would consider this topic suitable for forums about relationships or the like.

Firstly, here you can replace gambling with anything: any hobby, even any job that requires attention more than 8 hours a day, business, building a career, etc. Both spouses can do this (even at this stage, serious time management and separation of priorities are already necessary) and when children appear, they again must find a balance between all activities since there are only 24 hours in a day and you cannot help but pay attention to children, which means a waste time for certain activities should be reduced.

Secondly, these are purely personal issues and there cannot be universal advice here. In some couples, the husband may give up his hobby/career for the sake of his wife, or vice versa, in some couples one of the spouses would rather get divorced than give up his job/hobby. All options are normal if two people agreed in this way (even if it’s a divorce haha). There are many relationships that suit those who are in them, but for example they would not suit you, but what difference does it make if you look at it from the outside? There's nothing to discuss here.

Both parents aren't supposed to be gamblers as that can be dangerous due to the problem of addiction that is linked with gambling and when both parents become addict, it'll put the family at a risk of divorce. Technically one is meant to quit but who'll be willing to give up their hobby for the other, the person that quit meant feel bad when the other person is enjoying him or her self and if it's the hundred that didn't quit but he isn't bring enough money to the house that'll be a problem.

If both parents can manage their gambling perfectly and it won't interfere with their family time or make them to use family funds for their personal interest, both of them can continue gambling. It's all about understanding and planning for a family to work therefore both parents has to go for therapy and a professional will examine both of them to give them a suggestion if they'll both quit, or one party to quit also if they both can keep gambling as there's no bad effect.
