How do you play online/offline without your wife or family knowing it?

[Fredomago]

It's hard when your wife finds out about your gambling habit after a huge loss it will cause disagreement and quarrel, so tell this before the worse happens, you can't control your gambling all the time, there will come a time when you need to exceed your allocated time or lose money, you can talk your wife about it and will let you if you request to play in allocated time and money, you cannot keep a secret forever, better stop now or tell her about it.

Most people afraid to their wife since most likely their wife would force them to completely stop gambling, the thing is they're still want to gamble and don't want to get controlled by their wife. So they will keep gamble and hide it from their wife, this will make a trust issue between both of them which is not good. This is why consultant is very important in this matter, you should need a third party who have better answer than you both.

I agree with that trust issue if your wife finds out your problem instead of you telling them the situation, you can't control the outcome of your gambling activities in worse case scenario you can lose all your savings and that can start ruining your family, it's unacceptable for your wife that because of your gambling problem they will be involved and they will suffer. Though instead of 3rd party you can start telling the truth before things go behind your control.

For sure, if you can explain the situation, your wife might understand your case and if you are not that addicted yet, she can help in limiting the amount of money that you can use.

Much better to allow your wife to handle your savings good for money managements.

But sometimes, it can trigger a fight between him and his wife because some wives do not like to see their husbands gambling secretly or telling the truth to wives. Maybe many wives will advise their husbands never to gamble again because the situation now is different. If husbands continue to gamble, let alone spend a lot of money, it will be risky for the family finances. Maybe the wife can help if the husband asks her to help him stop his gambling habit and the wife will support him.

This. I wouldn't actually mind the issue of him hiding stuff from his family if the issue stemmed from them stopping him from gambling. Pretty sure OP can be responsible for himself at this point, heck hiding it may even force him to limit his game time and the costs to spend on playing. I'd say arguing about gambling is fine and all, but stopping it completely without respecting that one side wants it can be disrespectful of sorts, especially if the person involved was rather responsible. Now if it's affecting their lives negatively, then that's another thing.

Yes, as long as he can be responsible when he gambles, the wife probably won't mind. But most wives will advise their husbands to stop gambling or reduce their gambling activities slowly. But if the wife immediately asks her husband to stop the gambling activity he has been doing for years, his husband may have objections. But it will depend on how husband and wife can communicate it and openness is highly recommended to find a solution for their family.

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

If I was in your position, I would have told her the truth as it is better than hide it from her for too long time as it can be even worst in the future for your relationship.
Fortunately, my wife know what I'm doing especially if it is related to money (including gambling, trading, investing) and it is not a problem for her as long as I know how to manage my money and time so it wont affect our life.
You should tell her the truth if you ask me, explain and assure her that what you are doing is not something bad.

This is the easiest way IMO, though be prepared for a no when it comes to your gambling activities. It's great to be honest and all but it's kinda unfair when the wife can go on a shopping spree and the husband who normally provides for the family can't even spend something for himself. But yeah, if the conversation about this goes perfectly smooth, and that both sides understands where the other is coming from, it is possible to convince your wife to let you do your own thing while keeping everything in check and regulated as much as possible.

I don't think you should do that at all. What do you think will happen when your family/wife finds out that you are a gambling addict? I can tell you it won't be something pretty. If you are not overdoing it, then there shouldn't be any problem. If you are not an addict and your wife/family still would get mad, then you should tell your family that it is not their business. If it is your wife we are talking about here, then you should explain her what you are doing. If she is not agreeing with your actions, then you have two choices. Do what she says or leave her.

You would really be needing to tell everything into your wife or else then you would really be ending up with that kind of option whether you would be leaving gambling or your wife would leave you.
Its not something healthy if you are hiding something on your wife or family members specially this kind of activity does really spend out money but its actually on your own choice.
If you are still not get caught by your wife until now then just do on things which you do know that it could neither be good or bad.It totally depends on you.
In overall then i wouldnt really be tending to have something to be hidden specially from my wife.

Why would you do something if you’re so ashamed of it that you can’t even be open and honest with your family or significant other? If you’ve gotten to the point where you’re hiding your behavior because you know it’s wrong, then you have an addiction, not a hobby. You should speak with someone and live a life you’re proud to take credit for.

[BitcoinPanther]

@bittraffic, it looks like all the suggestion is pointing you to admit your gambling engagement with your wife.  I also find it to have no reason for you to hide the fact that you are a gambler.  You might probably enjoy it more when you do it on the open since you do not have worries about your wife finding it out and caused a misunderstanding.  Honestly, I also hide my gambling activity from my family but the moment I opened it up to them, I feel relieved and enjoyed my gambling session more since the worries are all gone.

That is true, a life to take credit for is better, if I noticed that my wife is hiding something he ought not to hide from me that can harm our family, I will not trust her like before. We are family, the truth we tell each other will strengthen our relationship, that is how I see it too. I can not hide it from my wife, but I still think about children, if letting them know that I am gambling, I am thinking it is not proper to tell children about it. All I can tell children which I think I have mentioned before on this thread is to just let them know about gambling addiction and what to do that could be of help.

I also see no reason to hide anything you do to your family, especially gambling, because if you win, your family will be among the people who benefit from your gambling profits. The only thing you should keep hidden from your family is something that is highly prohibited by society; if you are abdicated to something like that, you can keep it hidden from your family, but I see no reason why you should keep gambling hidden from your family.

[sunsilk]

I think it's better for you to tell your wife that you bet. It's a much better feeling if both of you are open to these things that you do and it's up to you what reason you'll say, whether it's a hobby or you're really into it and just prove that you're not addicted and you're still in control.

It'd be really great if they were understanding of it. If not though, then OP hiding it seems understandable, especially in the cases of families (instead of your partners).

Well, there's really a justification why someone has to hide his gambling activity not only to his wife but also to his family. There's a valid reason why many are doing it.

But, if you can tell it directly to them then that's much better so that both of you won't hide anything that you do secretly. It can be a reason for a marriage to fall because you're not telling it to your wife.

Or for family, it could lead them to suspect you at all times.

Based on my personal experience, it's very hard to keep this secret from everybody, especially your wife. The more you hide, the more you are prone to lose so better tell her that you are doing this gambling activity and explain that it is for fun and you only gamble extra money that you have, if she listens then good if she insists that you stop it then it is up to you how to convince her that this is just for fun.

Bottom line, you should tell to avoid surprises in the future as this will not be a secret all the time.

Honesty will also give you at peace when you're playing.
At least you are not hiding and always looking over your shoulder.
Whatever you agreed upon with your wife, is much better than hiding it.
Because you will be discovered also later on, and that will give you much trouble.

No need to hide if theres no argument over what you can or cannot 'spend'.   All gambling money should be considering spending and then your winnings is what you get to keep.   Not keeping a solid record book or line between money for bills and leisure money will invariably lead to upset in a family for fairly obvious reasons, applies to anything but with gambling the lines may get confusing as you will sometimes double your money or more.
   I do believe in taking some winnings off the table so they cannot be lost, never roll over everything to the next bet but cant tell people they they have to learn personally to some extent.

[makishart]

I meant if you wanna be a dishonest people and then your close people will not respect with your decision especially your wife. Being honest was a very important thing. I meant if you can't even say the truth with your wife and she will be marking your as a liar. People can be respect as long as yo are also become respect with them too. I think that i will say everything to my wife rather than being a dishonest person like that.
Remember that if you have been marry here. it doesn't matter what it is and you need to be honest with her

Well, it's best to be honest to your wife if you really gamble. IMO, it's not fun to play if you're doing it secretly just because you don't want to argue with your wife if she become aware of what you're doing. Be open, its not healthy in the relationship if the partner is hiding something. Moreover if you're in her shoes how would you feel? Hence, talk to her and gamble with her permission if possible.

our wife will suffer everything if we lose or win in gambling because they are the one who is responsible in budgeting and taking care of us and our children .
why  need to hide from Her?
maybe having an agreement will save the day? have a deal if how much you can spend and when you can play, with those it is not only gambling but also limiting your chances to be addicted and be irresponsible father and husband.

I can exactly relate on this , because In my first year of crypto gambling? i tried Hiding to my wife because surely She will never agree because that time she is in her delivery time for our baby , but after she finds out? we almost lost our relationship as i turned out spending every single money in my pocket.

For sure, if you can explain the situation, your wife might understand your case and if you are not that addicted yet, she can help in limiting the amount of money that you can use.

Much better to allow your wife to handle your savings good for money managements.

if given a chance to start over again? this is surely what will I do to prevent those problem we faced back then.

[Reatim]

Simple mate, Just make sure that you have a Funds that she has no Idea , I mean from Sideline of Crypto income , so you can gamble online without here noticing.

You can play inside Bathroom? or even outside your house pretending that you are playing Online game lol.

Off the sounds and delete the History of searching and never installed Apps , delete every after playing lol.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I don't think any of this will make much of difference if you are hidding certain things from your spouse then you have created a enough room for suspicious and distrust in the family. There is no need , how can you confine a phone to the car for betting sake. Lol what if the woman is going to the car from time to time or taking a ride with the husband ? Don't underrate women, they have the "seventh" sense still functioning, they have that kind of sense to sniff out when something is just not right.

I guess, you mean, that most women have what is called "Premonition" or in other words "Strong feeling" The kind that no matter what the man explains, the wife won't believe it. In that regard, I seem to agree with what you said. But, the man will be surprised because he has been doing it for several years, in short, the husband is good at hiding nonsense hehe.

[madnessteat]

When two people live together for a long time, they begin to sense changes in their partner. For most gamblers, losing causes negative emotions that eventually spill over to their partner. If they don't know about their partner's gambling addiction they become suspicious and follow them and eventually find out the truth. Not everyone knows how to forgive cheating so I wouldn't do that.
