Topic: Will you stop gamble if your girl friend insists ? - page 3. (Read 4597 times)

That depends on the length of your relationship. If a guy is new to a relationship like less than a month or two, he'd probably going to obey his girlfriend TEMPORARILY. But not for long, he's most likely to give in to the gambling temptation.
Realistically, nobody can stop you if you're really into gambling, even your wife. Your wife might believe you're avoiding gambling already, but you can always sneak out to either go to the casino or play in an online casino through your phone.
Online gambling is the easiest way to do it though.

You are truly lucky to have such a partner. There are many girl friends or partner who are not willing to gambling and do not want to trust his friend in any way. But the real relationship is about understanding each other. They will help each other. In this regard you are indeed a lucky one.

Stop spending on gambling is not a big thing. Even without someone's suggestion I can stop gambling. The important thing I'll comeback again that is the big problem. Even under someone's moderation I find ways to gamble. This is where I wasn't able to control myself. Maybe something into gaming or moving towards the friends for a conversation can cause a change of mind when I feel like gambling.

Basically no, As long as I know that it doesn't effect our relationship. I know that if you have a partner, Your partner just want's to keep the right things right and avoid future problems with the things that her partner is doing. If your partner is considering gambling as a vice, Vice can make a problem in the future and she just want to avoid it but it will depend on the gambler if he has a proper control in his gambling activity. So I believe that as long as I don't make a trouble with my gambling activities or affects her, I won't stop. I consider gambling as a hobby and I graduated from being an addict so now I am confident that I can make a good decisions toward my gambling activities.

People change over the time and I'm sure if my girlfriend ask me repeatedly to stop my gambling activity. Honestly I might consider in reducing my activities for the sake of mind.

For me, it still depends on the situation. I would not stop gambling literally if I know in myself that I am only gambling just for entertainment and I’m only gambling my extra money. My girlfriend might be unreasonable if she still insists stopping me from gambling. However, if she sees that I’m already addicted from gambling and that I mostly run out of money because I always lose in gambling, maybe I will agree with my girlfriend this time. I will stop gambling eventually, before I ruined our relationship.

It is natural that a good girl friend will always wish the best for her boy friend and this was no exception in my case. My girlfriend always wants me to live a normal life within the rules. I have been involved with gambling and casino for three long years. My wife sometimes informs me about the updated news of gambling sites.

A single person still has a family. We have a responsibility to take care of our parents and give a share of households financing especially when they are retired/ seniors.  Our responsibility isn't only for our future wives and kids but also for caring for our aging parents  So we still can't be gambling all we want unless we prioritized entertainment over our parents. 

A responsible person always balances everything and gives priority to the family member.  Of course, if we are serious with our GF's we always see them as our wife and consider them as our family, so listening to whatever they say is one of our priorities.

Even if someone already knows that you are addicted and ask you to stop, you will likely disagree on them and still continue gambling. The person that are out of control on their selves deserve to be leaved by their girlfriends or even their friends but I don't think their family will do the same thing.

Maybe they will realize soon that they are wrong and will now change for the better once they lost the people that are important for them. Indeed it's a selfish act if the guy will spend more time gambling more than his girl. If that was the case then he better be single because he can still be happy anyway with the company of gambling.

I would definitely stop gambling if my gf wants me to stop doing it.
There is no alternative of good gestures and honesty and sincerity - I  believe good gf thinks good for her relationship she wants it to be healthy and trouble free.

They don't want you to waste money on gambling, but if she wants to go to a beauty salon or wants you to buy here jewelry that's not a wast. Flowers are not a waste, picking her up in your car and driving her home is not a waste, everything you do to satisfy her needs is good, but when you have your needs to satisfy that's a different story, even if you're not using her money but your own.

Ultimately it comes down to whether you're going to really stop or lie to her. Most gamblers would choose to lie to satisfy a woman, that's the truth.

Yes you are right that mate if a gambler or a person don't have yet his own family or let's say he is single then he can do what he wants to do in his money he can Gamble how much he can afford. but all of this will be changed if we or he has a family already, because as a man it's our responsibility and duty to feed our wife and children if we have to exist money then we can gamble for happiness purpose only.

Well, if you are just a gambler more like a small time gambler then I would explain to my girlfriend that I know when to stop and only gamble what I can afford to lose instead of gambling all the money you have then I am sure that your girlfriend will leave you. If you are a gambler (not an addict gambler) then it is possible that you don't want to stop gambling even if your girlfriend insists since you already told her that you only gamble small amount just for fun then she will understand. For gambling addict?, I don't think not stopping when your girlfriend insist you to stop gambling then it will result in leaving you

You just happen to be surrounded by conservative types of girls.  In my place, girls are more fond of gambling in public.  You can see them in front of one's house playing card games in public.  They do that almost every day and often times a heated argument occurs due to a player wanting to stay playing even though his bankroll is depleted.  So I think girls have their own characters, and I do not think that female gambler is fewer than males.


A responsible and caring girlfriend will always remind his BF to do the right thing.  And girls who don't like gambling will always forbid their guys from engaging with gambling activity.

so what did you do - did you tell her that you gamble too?
Or did you leave gambling or did you leave you girlfriend - some people are considerate and take people and relationship very seriously.

I had a girl that told me about her first boyfriend, she left him all because of gambling,  I too was an addict during that time but she did not know. What I have noticed about girls is that they do not want anything that waste money or take from someone than give. That is the reason you will see them not gambling at all, only few of them are gambling if compared with guys. If a girl love a guy, they can be honest, about gambling, I think it is honest for a girl to tell his boyfriend not to gamble again, they do not just say that, it is because they have had a boyfriend that had gambled before and was losing, or they see that gambling is taken from their boyfriend than given.

Often times we never realized something until someone forces us to realize it.  A gambling addict will never admit he is addicted unless someone had clearly pointed it out.  In this case, if your girl asked you to stop gambling, or even force you to stop, threatening you a break up if you don't listen, simply because she is concerned for you.  She shouldn't have a problem with your gambling activities if she isn't concerned about the possibility of gambling addiction.


Don't be sexist even male think out of selfish wills.  The male inconsiderate behavior of continuing to gamble in spite of her gf asking him to stop gambling is a show of selfish will.

The thing is, gambling isn't always a good thing. There are many people in this world who believe that gambling is a way of relaxing, a means for you to spend you free time, or for you to blow off steam and relax. Whether you gamble online or offline, it doesn't matter. There's no doubt about it: every gambler has noticed that one of the main attractions to gambling is winning. Gambling gives us the chance to experience victory, to win big money! However, gambling isn't always that great. If you're addicted to gambling and continue to indulge in it, there could be devastating, life-changing consequences. It could leave your family bankrupt and broken, it could tear your family apart. Initially, many people don't want to hear about their gambling problem because they simply don't want to accept reality, they don't want to consider that gambling can be a real addiction.

One of the most important things in a relationship is trust. Be open with your friends and family about gambling and let your loved ones know about your gambling. It is good to have someone who you can turn to when things get tough or when you need help. You need to be happy in your own skin and enjoy gambling for the sole purpose of having fun. But, if you start to feel pressured by the outside world, it's probably time for you to evaluate why you gamble and how your life is affected by it.

To sum it all up, gambling is a personal process and each gambler needs to work on himself. Be honest with yourself about your own reasons for gambling. Understand your weaknesses and strengths as a gambler. If you are able to take care of yourself properly, you can have a lot of fun as a gambler. Tell the truth to your loved ones and friends so they can support you in the right way. Don't feel ashamed or afraid to seek help if it's necessary. Chances are that the problems you face are not very uncommon among gamblers and there will be plenty of people who can give you good advice when you need it.

How about in cases where addiction is almost eating up your gambling habit and she decides to help by suggesting you stop. Women naturally think out of selfish wills no doubt but in some cases as well they mean well for the one the claim to love. I think other than taking a complete stand on how one will react to their suggestions if the ask their lovers to stop their passion looking at her reasons for asking you to stop gambling will decide the next action

First of, she's my girlfriend. A quick question, will she ask me to stop if I win an amount big enough to not just marry her but start a family? The truth is that some women act out of selfish interest, they advice you just so that the money used to take care of them will not run out.

Of course I would stop gambling if my dear wife stop me from gambling. But I am happy that my girlfriend prefer me what's good for society and myself. She always inspired me to help the poor. So I always follow my wife's rules and regulations.
