Gambling and family which one first?

[Ronsbit]

What do you think can be done here, and what approach could he have applied to his predicament with respect to his wife's constant nagging and wanting more money and his gambling lifestyle? 

For me, the problem is not in his gambling but in his wife who keeps asking for money. Yes, we should prioritize the family over gambling, but he also needs to talk to his wife that whatever salary he gives should be the only basis for their budget, and she should not ask for more. For me, they have a communication gap; they don’t understand each other. The man also made a mistake because he chose gambling as his means of extra income, which is very wrong since there is no certainty in gambling. To restore peace in their household, they really need to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Communication is the big gap between the two couples; they should be able to sit and resolve their differences to be able to live amicably. I just think that the man resorted to deep gambling to ease himself of the stress from his wife, and a possible attempt to also make a profit from gambling too. The problem lies in his wife's demand; her constant pressure for more after he has given her enough seems not clear, and she is not telling him anything concrete about it. Could it be that there is something she seems to be doing secretly that she is keeping to herself because no sensible woman would be nagging and demanding more money after she has been given enough to sustain her?

What I will say here is that gambling is not the escape route for the man; he should not get it into his head that he could gamble every time to while away his stress from his wife because the more he does that, the more the problems compile for him, so the earlier he addresses the issue with his wife, the better for him.

what I know is that emotion is the focal point of gambling, it is the reason why we win and lose, what your emotion tells you to do determines the results you get. If your emotion tells you to gamble big and you win, then it's your luck. And likewise Iif your emotion direct you to gamble and you lose, it is also your luck. We all are controlled by our emotion to gamble, without emotional control there will be no increase or decrease in staking. So our emotion determines whether we are lucky or not.

And that's the danger: you can lose so much because of emotions, Emotions are what make us human, and it's almost impossible to control them because a single thing can make us feel so many things, and that's what makes us unique It's better to control ourselves a little so we don't lose a lot of money, Before having emotions, a player must be responsible to themselves If we don't respect ourselves, we won't have control of anything.

And that's the danger: you can lose so much because of emotions, Emotions are what make us human, and it's almost impossible to control them because a single thing can make us feel so many things, and that's what makes us unique It's better to control ourselves a little so we don't lose a lot of money, Before having emotions, a player must be responsible to themselves If we don't respect ourselves, we won't have control of anything.

And that's why I think it's most important to set a specific amount of budget for gambling. In fact, a specific amount of budget or what we know as bankroll management, basically determines how much you can lose without affecting your main wealth. Although I gave an example before, maybe I'll give it again here that if your monthly income is $ 1000 and you keep a monthly budget of $ 10 for gambling. In that case, I don't think that losing these $ 10 will have any impact on your family or your monthly financial situation. If you don't keep a budget and lose $ 200 in one day, it might have a big effect on you. That's why I say the most important thing is bankroll management that will help you avoid disappointment.

If the woman is complaining about a lack of money, is gambling the solution? Why not find another job, or work a second career?

That also took me aback why the man in OP's narration felt gambling would be his way out of his financial quagmire instead of doing either of those you listed above, or even starting up a business on his own. The funny thing about life is that those who don't want to change to better themselves will always find someone to blame for their stagnation. This is the simple reason I move away from people who make excuses instead of bracing themselves up and confronting their devil headlong. This set of people will make you doubt your sanity if you stick around them for too long.

Agreed, there are some foolish people who think that they will earn a lot of money by gambling, but at some point it is seen that they give priority to gambling over doing business, they return destitute and empty-handed, then they have nothing else to do. Gambling addiction is such a bad thing that consumes people in such a way that even if they want to, the person affected by gambling addiction can never come out. Therefore, we have to refrain ourselves from this gambling addiction. Many times it is seen that this gambling addiction causes a lot of damage, so our gambling addiction is very dangerous. While playing gambling under the guise of fun, at some point one becomes so addicted to gambling that despite his desire, he cannot come out of his gambling addiction. A person with a gambling addiction is never safe for his family. A person addicted to gambling becomes so addicted to gambling that he is unable to fulfill his family responsibilities properly, so we have to refrain from this type of gambling addiction and warn others.

Seeking help from a relative or friends will be a good idea too.

The best option will always be family, but in some very rare cases, the family is truly united Most are not like that, and it's sad From my own experience, I can say that in many situations , friends are more important to us than family. In a case of addiction, it's better to have family , their support is much greater.

First if all being moved by the pressure from your wife is wrong, secondly looking to gambling as an alternative source of provision for your family is still wrong and thirdly going to a casino house instead of playing online is still wrong, in the end I think he forgot he's the head of the family and as the head in all you do you have to put your family first, maybe he chose betting because of the lack of options, but still he just had to balance he's betting life with that of he's family.

In fact, so much importance is given to responsible gambling so that there is a right balance between one's gambling and financial security. If a person understands his income status, his own and his family's expenses, and creates a separate fund for gambling. And even if it is a loss, it will not cause him any financial problem . And if he fixes himself that he will not gamble with extra money beyond this, then he will not face any major losses. If the effect falls on his family after losing in gambling, then it is natural to have a bad relationship with family members. That is why one should maintain a discipline in everything.

I think your choice of word in calling people you felt had a contrary opinion to what you thought right Foolish is wrong. Again, that line of comment of yours lambasting those who give priority to gambling doesn't align with the project you're promoting in your signature – Betpanda, a betting company. You can't condemn a service you promote.

Gambling addiction is such a bad thing that consumes people in such a way that even if they want to, the person affected by gambling addiction can never come out. Therefore, we have to refrain ourselves from this gambling addiction.

This is the one we should jointly condemn. Gambling addiction is bad and should at cost be avoided.
