Gambling and Relationships!

[Jating]

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.

My father is heavy gambler. Not in a casino but in cockpit and card in some group of friends who bet big amount. It is very hard to have a gambler in the family especially if its your father because finances is uncertain. Our financial status is unstable and my parents always fight because of it. Its really hard.

Well my father is also a gambler, but I don't consider him a addicted one. But I'm sure that I inherited it from it. On the contrary, I didn't experience what you have gone through. Yes, we struggle financially but it not because of my father's gambling habits.

So I can say that it really depends, my mother is not a gambler, and I'm sure that she didn't condone my father's gambling habit but it didn't destroy their relationship. Maybe they understand what their priorities was at that time and my father just gamble (horse racing), just to have some fun and he knows his limit that why my mother is OK with that, I guess.

Will in reality i never experienced in my life that both my wife and i go into casino  for gambling together, because my wife is a religious person.actually i inherit this kind of behavior to my parents especially my father who been always gambling a poker and cockfighting.actualy during my childhood my father always bring me in cockfight arena and casino to gambling a poker cards and slot machine thats why when i grow up  i know how to play this kind of games and for me being a father and son together in gambling is so weid,thats why when im also become a father i quits in gambling ,to become a good example of my children.

I don't think you will get a gambling partner as a wife ,because they won't like to gamble the entire earning money in gambling. Because they won't have money to spend for their make up.Lol
It will happen to the big shot only.If they are millionaire or billionaire, they will get this chance.

There are many couples in Thailand goes to gambling night on Saturday night. I do not think it is big problem between the couples who invest on gambling all the time.
There are billinares in the world who made their life with the gambling alone.
If you able to keep on invest on gambling, it is the right platform buddy.

Yes in some places there may be the customs for the couple to visit a casino and play gambling there together. In my country it is even not consider a good activity to visit a market by the girls, they cannot think about to visit a casino, Only men use to visit a casino and play gambling there. May be few girls are there who like to play gambling online.

Yes cultural differences can prohibit a couple  from visiting a casino together but must we go together at all in the first place? I don't think it has any significant impact on the games we play if we go to a casino with a family but many have sought to superstitiously explain that and i disagree.

You can't gamble freely when you go with your family it becomes hard for you to concentrate if i ever go to a casino i would go without my family
But there is also a advantage your family might tell you to stop and make you think about your future and you might not get a high loss like you would normally get

I have personally have had my best friends leave me when my gambling habits have gotten to be excessive and have gone too far.
I have skipped work to go to the local land based casino and spent an entire paycheck in just one day.
It can ruin your relation with your wife, sister, brother, mother, father and children.
At this stage the person who is so enthralled in this addictive behavior should seek counseling before it totally engulfs your life and hurt the people that you care for most.
Cause after you are left with no one and not one cent to your name!
It is extremely difficult to come back from that.

Maybe if the person already come to the situation that he will always longing for gambling and make priorities over than his love one's then I believe that its a sign of unhealthy situation and negativity that leads to relationship destruction, because we, as a human being needs time from the people we love and love us, therefore if we lost that ability of giving time to the person of whom we love then there is a big possibility that in the end the relationship will ruin.

Tbh yes! Gambling can alienate us from our relatives and our close friends if we do gambling beyond the reasonable limits. Don't let us get into a situation like that, because of course it will be very painful.

You never experienced to go with your wife to some casino for the sake of gambling because you don’t think it would be a good thing to do. Similarly, others also have the same feelings and they also don’t like to hangout in casinos with their family members. Casinos are the places where one should go with his friend or cousin because after that you will enjoy and if you will go with family, you will return unhappily.

A family member of mine lose his family because he got addicted in gambling, its sad to hear and see people gone this far this should be stop and they should seek help before the situation gets worse like what happen to the person I know.

I don't see the two have a happy ending,
it always ends worse,
we need to choose one out of the two.

This is not necessarily so. Gambling can be fun if you don't risk amounts which you can't afford to lose. Gambling can even help in making a relationship last, when both partners are engaged in the process. But you are right in the situation when only one partner is a gambler, then indeed one have to choose either gambling or the relationship. Gambling consumes too much time and if you are not with your partner in it together the relationship will end sooner or later.

You put on a joke, LOL. Gambling does not have a good thing and only has a lot of evils and losses. Gambling games must be removed from a relationship. Whatever the way that do not ever include gambling in our lives. If you consider gambling as an entertainment then I think it is a mistake because entertainment will never destroy a life. And when we consider gambling as an income then it is a stupidity because there is still much more convincing work and making a lot of money than just hoping for a gambling game.

Well probably not everyone would agree to your statement where it only has evils. Because if you think about it it would really be your self where you let greed destroy your life but if you manage it I think it would lead to a better outcome. It doesn't hurt to have entertainment once in awhile but thinking you could make a lot of money there would be stupid.

[TheKeyLongThumbI]

I just know that gambling ruins relationship. Gambling does not make the bonds within them stronger but it sets them apart. Once any of them lost their money, they're gonna blame each other or even hurt each other physically.

Yes, family members should not support him for gambling, there is huge risk involved in it when a gambler addicted we cannot divert his mind until he himself changes to the positive side. Instead of losing faith from the family members it is better to controlled by ourselves.

That's right, that's when gambling becomes "evil" when people start thinking of it as of a source of income. Treating it as an entertainment you can enjoy it and you can be with your partner in it strengthening your relationship.

... entertainment will never destroy a life.

Oh, really? What about mountain climbing, scuba diving, sky-jumping and many other activities which are entertaining but take the very lives of people, not only their money? What about alcohol drinking which takes tens of thousands lives yearly? I'm not going to stop drinking my beer in the evening just because other people abuse it and die or end up in the hospital. I'm sorry for them, but alcohol should not be called evil because of their abuse. Same refers to gambling. Just don't abuse it and you'll be fine.

Thank you for agreeing with me. I hope that a lot of people would open their eyes with the possible addiction that can come from entertainment. It's saddening that people died because of their hobbies and entertainment to experience happiness maybe they are looking for something else that they think would feel their holes in their hearts. Maybe that's happens when you abuse something or take too much for granted.

Results of this can be like that, when each party loses their money and find someone to blame, instead of working on it together both of them will
balme each others resulting to physical confrontations, gamblers mind is no longer about enjoying but getting in it seriously is to dangerous they
will forget about relationship and love and replace it of greediness and out of controls decision.

It will definitely be destructive especially if you let it just be like that. If you made the way to make yourselves productive and be focusing on how you can become better, it would have become better. As long as you know your priorities you wouldn't be having a hard time.

Families and relationships have been damaged in the past just because of this gambling. People don’t want to marry such other people who gamble. Reason they give is a person who don’t have this much sense to save some money for further family, how he will be keeping them happy. So better is not to ruin your relationships and for god sake leave this gambling and adopt a respectable life.

Gambling and relationship in my point of view is just like fire and wood because gambling eats up relationship soon like fire eats wood. Definitely, your relative no matter whoever he is will become sad after losing against you and not finding anything to take revenge from you, he will simply break his relationship with you without thinking for a moment or so because gambling is a fire.
