Gambling and Relationships!

[poplolnman]

Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc...  Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.

Relationships are a two way street and the best case scenario is you find a person that can understand and even you think can be a big help to you. HOWever some relationships are fickle and there might be a time she asks you to stop and that might be a root for a misunderstanding

Entering on any activities that can affect the relationship, like losing time and having an addiction on gambling will really have a bad impact on the relationship. Have a proper time management and seek advises,don't come to the point you'll already lose them or youll lose both.

Just take a positive things , if you never do gamble together with peopl that close to you or with the people that you love then you'll never know the feeling and just make a misleading speculation. You can just imagine about that , maybe it's indeed the feeling are so priceless or maybe when it's failed you might lost every precious thing. Just Be caution .

Gambling is very bad if you get addicted to it. The gambler really does not care about relationships etc. they are just concerned about money and the pleasure they get form gambling.

I have seen some examples where gamblers started staying away from their families just because they did not want them to know about their gambling habits. Gambling has really destroyed many families and made many families suffer a lot.

I've seen people like that. They forgot their family, they never think about them if they are fine or if they are eating right on time. But when all their money is gone, they return home, then fight with their wives. It is becoming a daily routine to them.

They never think about their future, when they grow old, and how will their children react if the gambler asks money to them. Gambling addicts should think about it.

That is what usually happens to most gamblers eventually. They know something is wrong with them, they know people around them will try to stop them, and they know how people end up seeing them. In the long run, they just seclude themselves totally and then end up destroying their own lives in the process. Most people when it comes to gambling do not like attaching relationships, so I guess that may be the reason why.

It is because they are lost in the world of gambling, they don't care about their family since they are too focused  about winning back their loses, what's important to them is their own benefits, their own satisfaction. Relationship will just come after gambling, even though they are losing their love ones, they don't even gives a shit, they are too numb to feel their family concerns about them on getting more addicted.

I completely agree with your saying. Gamblers have nothing left in their lives because they have lost both of the most important things one had in his life and that are family and money. They basically lose their family because they don’t agree with him to gamble and they lose money because they have lesser experience or too much depressed that they cannot focus on every game they play and loss happens.

I am trying to imagine me and my wife always going to the casino to play some games. It would be fun though knowing you have someone you can always share the fun with and unless you both see it as fun, then that is when you will both be enjoying it, but if someone starts drifting and becoming unable to control the greed impulse, that is where problem would definitely start. But really, it sounds fun.

One thing that is very risky from having a relationship with fellow gamblers is prone not to warn each other when one or both of them out of control when gambling. When both have the same hobby of gambling, it is feared they are unaware when they are addicted, so no one reminds to stop...

[Asmonist]

I've known a lot. My relatives and in-laws. I think its a way of life. I'm used to see them doing it. I guess its just a matter of understanding. As long as its a legal way and its not interrupting each one of us. Well sadly there are moments that conflict of relationship really happen due to gambling. Mostly its about the time for each other. When the gambler had already adopted to it, they sometimes forgot that most of there time are already spent to gambling. Not realizing of their other responsibilities or the time to spend with family.

Exactly! who will remind them to stop or to quit if both are engaged too much, its a risk specially if they already have some kids they will suffer
for this problem risking their money with a possibility to lose everything inside, better to find other ways of enjoyment instead of letting your
family's future at risk.

Gambling while your bf/gf is like that then stop if they have problem with the gambling.I think also gambling can affect a relationship but if you only abuse yourself or you're become addict and no time to other person in your life.Gambling is for fun only not to destroy a relationship so think always if you abuse it.Relationship is good but you need to take care of it than gambling

I think gambling  should not be done with close people. As in gambling one has to lose and if you make lose your near and dear ones, not only you will hurt them but also you will not feel good as you have earned form your near ones.
I suggest you to always play gambling with strangers as it gives good feeling on winning.

Yeah! Not even gamblers but also the other people who don’t use to gamble would also have nothing left in their lives when they will lose these two things in their lives i.e. family and money. Between these two things family had a great importance than the money because without money, one can live but without family, life becomes just like a hollow sphere. Gambler’s family doesn’t agree because they know that the society would dislike him for his doings.

Why not??
Winning on gambling against someone that we know personally wont hurt them, people should know that it is a risk on gambling. If someone is hurt because he/she lose on gambling against his close friends then he should not do gambling with anyone. Gambling against close friend is even more fun IMO as we can do it with full of laugh no matter we win or lose. This is my own experience though as it has been an old tradition on my area to gambling against neighbor or friends.

I think if both of you really always doing gambling at the casino, well, I feel both of you considered as addicted with it because it seems you put it on your list of everyday activities that you have. It's can destroy your family relationship because it can affects your children to be a bad influence for them that they think in the first place doing gamble is good. So later on if the time will come that they will be a big enough then they do gambling as well because this is what they had seen to both of you since when they were still child and could start of their journey going to be addicted of it.

Actually i don't see that working because gambling is fueled by recklessness, solo choices based on how you feel and that would kill any relationship because they're based on mutual decisions. I would hate if my girlfriend started to tell me how to play my hands in poker even tho she may be right, i prefer doing the wrong choice alone than the right one together when it comes to gambling

Indeed, one should avoid gambling with friends and relatives because of the reason you have mentioned, one can never be happy by putting his dear ones in loss or making them sad. This is so selfish. Gambling is only good with unknown people because there you can use your brain and put your heart aside. Keep in mind that gambling with relatives ruin your relationships forever. Avoid it for better life.

That's right you should stand firmly with your decisions of not making yourself into bind of gambling and if the worst scenario can lead us to loss more form gambling, then its better to stay away from it. Maybe those unknown individuals find it good to gamble, but the effect of it can be contagious and could lead them to problematic family relationships due to lack of priority and time management for the family. Its better to prevent that relationships to be ruined by gambling in an earlier time rather than making it all worst.

no. i have seen couples gambling together but most of the time they are fighting because when they win they are happy but when they lost one of them blame the other for making choices or why did he or she not listen to the other and this and that that often times lead to fight and separation which is not good for those who are married with children because it is not only them that suffer but their children also.

That's living life in the fast lane. Full of emotions, fast and in full. I support couples that gamble together. It can be a bonding activity even when you lose. People tend to be drawn together by an event that affects both of them in the same time like an accident, robbery, and a gambling loss fits here perfectly.

Oh yeah, it could really be bonding moments for most of them. Although I have seen couples argue in a land based casino. LOL. But at the end of the day, they will step aside their arguments and play once again as a couple. That's the definition of really living life in its fullest. They may have arguments and fighting even inside the casino but when they both go home I think all animosity is gone, except for some regrets.

Well that will create a lively home and entertaining but arguments over money can be that bad especially among couple because they are living together and for each of them to seek their own means there are cracks in their relationship and will be unhealthy in the long run.

That's profound, it's best to go solo on your games that have a nosy partner tell you what to do. I al,so like to make my mistakes  alone without needing a corrector sort of person close to me and  so gambling and relationships can never be married together in any way else there will be total chaos in the end.

Yeah i have a really close friend of mine who is a gambler and there is nothing sort of weird about that. We even play together sometimes and its great. But , on the other hand i also have relative of mine who also gamble and even knows about me so here comes a bit of awkwardness and i feel really embarrassing and clumsy in front of him. I kind of avoid having too much talk with him.
