Gambling and Relationships!

[szpalata]

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.

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.

I guess family sees gambling differently from what a friend or someone outside your family might see. Maybe the family expected so much from you after their investment in you but a friend you meet on the streets who might probably not know how you started out life will be cool with anything including your gambling lifestyle.

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.

Exactly, I completely agree with your saying that one should not gamble with his relative because in gambling when one losses, he becomes hatred to the person from whom he had lost his money. It’s a natural thing and no one can stop this from happening and if the winner is your relative then gambling can disturb your family relationship which is not a good thing for your loving ones. If both gamblers are relative, they should play without betting for fun only.

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 .

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.

I think if both friends are happy to bet each other well there's no doubt to get hurt each other whoever win or lose the game, as long as it's their own decision to make a bet of each other. But if the situation is some of your relatives want to play with you , I think it just for having fun purposes which it seems like this the way of their making bond of each member of the family.

[Blondy12]

Me and my wife are both gambled in casino and even online  that is our way sometimes to bond because that is one of the things that we can do without our kids. I don't think that there is a problem with that as long as you both played just for fun and not being addicted in gambling.

gamblers may choose to spend their leisure time gambling , this can lead a partner or family member to worry that the gambler does not care about them anymore, or that they are somehow less important , this can lead to emotional distance or tension in the relationship

In my experience it is not possible to have gamblers get married together as what I experience is most of the family doesn't encourage gambling there is lot of clashes and misunderstand in the family due to gambling only. Till date I didn't met anybody may be in future possible. Because now women getting paid more in their jobs and possible they also need some relaxation and they might find their life partner there itself.

What you are saying makes sense but there could be exceptions in every situation whereby  two gamblers could fall in love somehow and play together responsibly without having arguments or trying to outdo each other in gambling or in family affairs.

[Seeker#9]

There is always a possibility that two gamblers of opposite get married and raise a family while still hooked in gambling and they will be partners in crime. They the ones that understand each when it comes to gambling.

[Teskje]

Family of gamblers? It's really weird when we're having a family like that but maybe it could be amazing if both of you are winning ?

[DesmondHayes]

I don't consider myself to be an addict and cause of that my family doesn't mind that I am using the gambling rooms to escape from reality. We all have stress that is haunting us through our lives and that stress needs to be removed. For me, gambling is some kind of the escape room in which I can run away and forget about everything else. My family is supportive for me cause with our steady jobs we won't suffer from my little entertainment that I'm having when I place the bets. My wife knows that I am entering in the world of the gamble with the limited bankroll and that I don't play for the profit and earning. She knows that I play for the sense of the joy and cause of that we are understanding each other and our relationship is very healthy. In the relationship, people must be truthful and honest because with the honesty also comes the approval, in this case, the approval of my gambling habits.

[Virtual miner]

I think the hangover of gambling has just overtaken you thats why you are asking such stupid questions. And can't believe there so many pages filled with answers. This implies for every profession in every corner of the world. You can always be as same profession of your partner. But gambling is enthralling. Somedays you will be sad after a loss and the other would console you or sometimes you might both be in sorrow for a loss that you have just encountered.

I've NEVER met a woman who hates a winning gambler. IJS...

My wife also gamble on a land base casino when we stay on a hotel but only with a small amount. She does not mind my gambling because I only do it for fun and I usually gamble a small amount as well.


As long as you and your partner have self control and does not mind losing a few bucks for me is okay.

Exactly because we have our own way of entertaining ourselves, the only problem is when we get addicted but as long as we stay discipline to spend only what we can afford to lose then there is no risk of a possible relationship problem in the future. Gambling is not really a bad thing, it only depends on how we look at it and on how we manage ourselves to be a good gambler.

Right when a relationship breaks a person who loves to gamble .. It's a harm to a relationship so it's best to first recognize your spouse if you have addicted to gambling.that the two partners should talk about gambling does not mean that they do not have to be excessive and wager that all the money accumulated because of that bad habit

Gambling may harm the relationship between closed ones if a person is addicted to gambling when lost everything by gambling he will seek help from his friends and family, suppose if he could not be able to return money to them that will ruin the relationship.

[BabyBoss]

Sometimes unity can also gives a better works. Their are some gamblers that are more better when they with their husband or wife because they feel that their both friends or their husband or wife can be their lucky weapon to win the game daily because of  their cheerings for him or her. But their are also some of the gamblers that are more comfortable without their wife or husband or friends in their side.

[xandra]

i have plenty of friends and neighbors who are both partners are gamblers they both play and enjoyed it,for me it's okay as long as they understand each other.

[pluMmet]

The gambling and relationships, probably in my opinion gambling can be destructive to a relationship for not all couples want to receive a hobby gambled because might think that gambled can be disturbing togetherness because of the time they mostly exhausted in use to gambled for those who addiction and when they lost it all they have to be in backed up to the results of her treasure up and the relationship was will be broken

Yes, because it is important that both of them wants the same things it is very good for a couple than the other one are gambler while the other are not so there are possibilities that they don't undesirable each other.
