Most prospective wives/ wives ask their partners to stop gambling because they are afraid you are too much in gambling so that it ignores your family, many cases like that happen, even violence because gambling in the family is also many happening, but while you feel able to cover up your needs And your responsibility as the head of the family, I think they also will not forbid you to gamble, but here must be a note that you are only to look for the pleasure of gambling not to double your money, it can destroy yourself.
You are right to some extent. But even the people associated with gambling are smart now with their financial decisions. They are not like past gamblers who used to take loans for gambling. Someone who is doing gambling with crypto is already wise enough to be aware of crypto. Such a person will not be involved in activities like violence for gambling.
Anyway, to answer the question, my spouse can't dictate me on what I should do. I'm not a compulsive gambler it's just a habit thus there's nothing to worry about. One of the reason why it's important for partners to know each other well before deciding to get married. Because once you marry a person you should accept all his/her flaws.
