Have you been threaten to stop gambling

[robelneo]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

[Yatsan]

One thing is hiding his profit but there's also this dide that his wife might be scared of her husband being addicted into gambling. But regarding being hideous,  if they are struggling financially, then I think she has the right to know that he won; not to necessarily disclose all of his winnings. But I do get the point that he might be protecting his funds especially if he knows that her wife would use all of it not unless the husband is just greedy of his profit, but that's his rights tho', especially if it is soley his funds which helped him. We just all have our own reasons but I'd probably be hideous as well especially if I'm providing enough for the household. Not because you're married, it would already be a reason for you to share funds; that would depend on your set up as married couple.

[Jawhead999]

Nope because no one knows I'm a gambler, I only gamble in my room and I always clear my browsing history, so if someone access my cellphone or PC, they will not find if I was access a gambling site.

If someone know I'm a gambler, this will cause a problem just like your friend story and it will cause a drama. I don't want to wasting my time just to convince them to allow me, better to keep silent.

[jrrsparkles]

I won't consider this as threatening in any way unless the partner may gain financial benefits from it so its more of guiding the partner who lost his way and at the verge of getting addiction but thank God she found before its get out of their hands.

I would say threating only if someone gambles and have success streak which can be a problem to casino bankroll so they will simply ban the person from playing in the casino anymore and its only possible in offline casino.

[X-ray]

Im still keeping it private. As long as i were not addicted and that's not a problem. Using it only for entertaining purpose only. That's your friend's fault. He can hide his password to the safe place.

The only problem that has been facing your friend is being dishonest

The situation would be difference if he said everything to his wife.

I think that his wife can accept it as long as he would not be addicted to it.

[Oshosondy]

I am a good punter because I only gamble with little amount of money. But if my wife discover that, that should not lead to a threat after being a good husband that is taking care of the house financially.

But some people still make their wife to be financially supporting the house. This can happen to people like that.

The solution is to tell your wife that you will stop even if you do not stop. But people are reasonable, maybe the person is spending too much on gambling too and that is very bad.

[$crypto$]

As long as we can meet the needs of the wife and other family needs then this won't be a problem as long as everything is smooth for giving money to the wife, but I myself have never shown myself to be a gambler because I know I limit it all so that I don't spend too much money that is put into in gambling.

My wife knows that I am a crypto trader and have some investments in bitcoin and she also knows that I always do airdrops that sometimes I get a jackpot if I get more and of course I give her more money from that result like yesterday's example from the ARB airdrop and SUI so he never suspected anything especially about gambling.

Gambling will always be private and no one else should know including the wife.

[Fesatmas]

What his wife did was right to the point that she didn't want her husband to be addicted to gambling and spend money or even be able to sell things at home just to gamble. Every wife who wants to save her husband will do the same thing and with these threats at least she has proven her concern for her husband. Examples of cases like this have occurred at my place, even more than 3 cases in the last 2 months. My wife's neighbors and friends even filed for divorce because her husband chose to use the money he earned to gamble instead of supporting the family.
For me personally, I would also choose to leave gambling and return to improve myself for the sake of family harmony. Remember to place the portion of gambling properly, don't let lust rule over everything, because lust always has the opportunity to destroy what it has.

I agree that's also my view if he is only honest and does not hide anything from his wife, his wife will let him gamble just moderately, wives have a budget to protect even if it's the husband's money he still has a concern because what both owns are conjugal, wives will be angry if the husband did not tell her about his huge winning it's like betraying her, but it's good that he choose his wife than gambling, relationship is important than gambling

[Yogee]

I'm not even sure if that was a serious threat hehe. Angry person like the wife in this case will say a lot of things that they do not really mean. The main lesson here is to treat your partner when you win a significant amount hehe. You don't need to tell her that it came from gambling.
 
I haven't faced that kind of situation ever since I started gambling. I guess I'm not at the same level of addiction as your friend.

[Awaklara]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I think it's important to communicate with our wives. that's what happens when we always hide from what we do. it shows the relationship between your friend and his wife who do not have good communication.
I always allocate some money from my job every month for gambling. most important money needs and routine savings have been met. and it is important to allocate the same amount that we can spend in the casino.
I don't get treatment like that when we can apply emotional control in managing our finances. then everything will be fine. and don't forget to keep in communicate with your wife.

[Shamm]

There are many true stories like this because we can not deny the fact that there's a saying that (you can not hold a smoke in your hand) like in gambling or let's say secrets because we don't want to let our family know that we currently gamble because it will cause more arguments which is pretty bad if that's happen. And in reality we can not say that all the time we can hide our secrets cause once we are too unlucky and our secrets revealed then that's a big loss. So for me it's better to say in early stage because there's a chance that you will be forgiven or let's say they will allow you in gambling but only for fun.

[YOSHIE]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Your friend is in a bad situation, the two choices are separated or continue gambling, now back to your friend's thoughts, let's put aside winning and money first, question...?
* Is your friend a heavy online gambling addict...?

It is indeed difficult to make a decision if someone is caught gambling what else by his wife, it is really a bitter choice that must be taken at all costs.

If I were in your friend's position, obviously I would follow my wife's advice to stop gambling and tell the truth about the money that is made and spent in gambling, then I really have to regain my wife's trust from gambling activities, even though I'm a heavy addict, remember there are a thousand ways for men to do activities outside the home without their wife knowing, remember men are more resourceful than women.

Fortunately that situation did not happen to me. heavy choice.

[Solosanz]

Nope, but someone who close with me asking me to reduce or stop my gambling habit. They think gambling is always bad because they see many people become poor and ruin their life because of gambling, but it's actually because of addiction. Someone who have a good self control will know when to play and when to stop, I have a good self control, so I will not ever let gambling to ruin my life.

[judeafante]

I'm single and have control of my money so I am not yet threatened to stop gambling, but it will eventually happen if you have a partner and you are hiding your gambling activity, no wife will like their husband to hide their gambling activity because it is too risky and they consider it bad because one of the grounds of divorce or legal separation is excessive gambling, so if your wife loves you, she will not tolerate excessive gambling.

[masulum]

Being honest is better because this will control the money will use to gamble. We know, if we gamble and access to money is in a men, maybe he will continue to make deposits when he loses. However, if he say the truth from the beginning  to his wife, even he is addicted to gambling, maybe if he can't stop, he asks to help control money for gambling every day.

[bittraffic]

He isn't as good as some of us in hiding his gambling spree.
Do you think if he shared his winnings, his wife will just ignore it?  What did he do to the big amount he won, he is married of course she expect he will share everything he has. This isn't gonna happen to me nor she threatened to divorse because I would definitely sign it  

An individual winning big the whole night in a traditional casino I think the house will threaten him to leave, I heard such stories before.

[Agbe]

I have heard such stories time without number since when I was a child that known what is good and bad. Mostly this happened in the married families. If the husband is a chronic gambler and he refused to come home on time and come back with empty pocket and hands. And yet expecting the wife to provide food again in the house then there is no any other option for her to tell him that if he refused to stop playing gamble then she has to leave his house to her parents house and if the man is reasonable man, he would quit gamble for peace to reign in the house. But some gamblers like that will beat his wife hell out of her.

If making secret about the husband huge win is what his wife got angry then his problem is solved by being transparent on his gambling activities. I don’t see the logic behind hiding profit to his wife while they are both living on the same roof and benefits on each other finances.

Maybe you should ask your friend about the reason on hiding his profit. I understand when he wants to hide loss because my wife will really got angry if I loss money on nonsense things for him but I will be proud to share my profit on gambling if I ever I win big time because my wife deserves to share with it unless he I didn’t love her anymore.

Hiding gambling will just result for broken marriage since the wife will always blame gambling whenever they experienced financial problem even though it’s not related anymore on gambling. Woman always want to press on parts that hurts the most to agonized us on things that we than in the past.

[uneng]

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

I think it's possible to reach a middle term. It's expected and understandable she is mad on him for not telling her about the big win, but if they love and care for each other, this strife will cease at some point, and then it will be the right time to talk about the gambling matter.
There aren't any issues if the husband enter an agreement with his wife stating that he will continue gambling, but responsibly, without compromising the family's funds, just for short periods of time for fun. Moreover, in winning case, she will be the first person to know about his achievement and they will celebrate it together.

This way they can reach a consensus which won't destroy the marriage, while also keeping the husband's hobby alive.

[TheUltraElite]

I havent had such a problem, but I have heard many families breaking down because of gambling problems and it is usually the male partner who is the gambler. Similar problems exist with chronic alcoholics and drug addicts leading to dysfunctional families. I dont want to compare these groups as similar but the effect is all the more same.

I think moderation is the key here and if done properly one can enjoy the fun in such activities while giving time to family too and then this type of disharmony could be minimized.

[Fiatless]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

My parents are the only people that can threaten me for now. If my parents know that I gamble, they would immediately withdraw their support and assistance. They perceive gamblers as lazy and wasteful people. Each time they see people coming out from casinos they speak badly about them. But they are unaware that I am doing the same with my phone. I ensure my gambling life is secret. And it will be difficult for them to know because they are not computer literate unless somebody informs them. The only people that know this part of my life are my friends.

I have not been threatened by anyone to quit gambling but it will be ideal to inform your partner that you gamble. When you are married both parties should be open to each other because if the other partner discovers it, this could breed mistrust. Both parties should endure the losses and enjoy the wins together. If my wife threatens to divorce me if I don't quit gambling, I will try to convince her that I am a responsible gambler. If she insists, I will have no option but to shun gambling.

[noorman0]

Letting your wife know you gamble from the start will be useful for avoiding conflicts like the OP's story in the future, and actually you can make her an effective reminder alarm when you start showing gambling patterns that have changed drastically than before.
I think wives just want financial priority. If that is fulfilled, they will not interfere too much with your digital activities even if it costs a lot of money.

[Queentoshi]

that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

Some of our biggest fears in a marriage is to be with a man that has more regards for something else asides his family. We can permit a man to be gambling before marriage, but after marriage, we expect them to be more in control of themselves and habits that they become more committed to their family. Gambling away money that can be used to take care of the family is very bad and hiding winning from gambling the few times you win reduces trust in marriage. When there is no trust in a marriage, Continuing in that marriage becomes difficult. Gambling can affect marriage even to the extent of breaking it, married men should control themselves more than single people.

[ryzaadit]

I think we all know from all story from gambler.

They want to stop, but is not easy as is looks like. They could be already stop gambling with 1-2 weeks, and then the streak just out they started to gambling again. If they can handle to gambling without debt is okay.

But the problem 80-90% trying to get loan for gambling.

[Mr.suevie]

Well this is a rather intriguing story but I feel the only reason the wife was angry was because the husband had a massive win and fail to show this to his wife but that actually normal in some areas because it is not all the husband does that the wife must know and plus its gambling and I will not advice any man to tell his wife know about his gambling habit well I certainly not let mine know. I prefer keeping it a secret.

[skarais]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I didn't get any threats like that, but only wise advice from my parents. I guess it was their caring attitude towards me mainly because they didn't want me to get in trouble both financially and other. Obviously I don't feel threatened because of them because so far that sage advice has helped me curb my addiction to gambling.

But someone who has get such threats from his wife has probably gotten too addicted to gambling that this gambler no longer cares about his family. Coming home late at night, not providing the best possible support for his wife and children and other problems that lead to quarrel. That's one of the reasons why a wife threatens her husband to stop gambling, and I don't think the husband is a responsible gambler.

[Eureka_07]

We cannot blame his wife, it was his fault at the first place. It's his wife, she needs to be aware of what's happening. I would feel bad if I came to the point like what he did. It isn't fair to the partner's side.

I'm glad that I never received any threat. I received advices before though that I should not gamble the money which I need. My partner is supportive and understanding, also I'm being reminded to be responsible of using my money.

[ajiz138]

This looks like it's gone too far because it has prioritized gambling over its own family so that the wife will be very angry if she finds out that her husband is now addicted and also lies because with a big win, she doesn't tell him, of course, this will be at the root of a complicated problem because someone who has an addiction will be very difficult to separate it from gambling.

I don't know about their finances, is it focused on gambling so that they make lots of deposits in it, but what I did was not like that because there was no threat whatsoever but advice would always be given to me, but I understand how to limit gambling not to overdo it, therefore self-control is very important, especially when it comes to honesty, it will make us feel at ease.

[Merit.s]

She did the right thing and I don't think it is a threat because she can no longer trust him financially, due to the fact that he hid his winnings from her and who knows if he used the money to take care of his family responsibilities. It is good that whatever you are doing, your wife should be aware of it,who knows if she will encourage him the more. I know of someone that do gamble on number forecast,he told his wife about it and behold,his wife was having interest in the gamble. Sometimes she will secretly use her money to gamble and when she won,she will tell him about her winnings. The man became happy and sometimes if he has a sure prediction he will tell his wife and they will both stake their money. Your friend loves his wife and should have told her about his gambling activities as she can even be the one that will stop him from being an addict and make him gamble responsible.

[romero121]

I've played along with my girlfriend. We used to spend for fun and we were able to multiply it. Later I started to play separately and show her the winnings. There is no problem, and problem began when I started to loss. The problem arose not for the loss, but for the reason of not listening her words. She requested to cashout and complete the debt. I didn't give ears and lost everything which is the reason for the problem between us. She just requested me to stop gambling.

[seoincorporation]

If the guy is betting with his own money, then isn't the wife business, even if they are married the man should have that freedom to do what ever he wants with his own money. And if the wife want to divorce for this, that means she was only looking for an excuse.

If she is mad about the big win, that's a mistake because she must see the full picture and how much he has lost in the past because if that big win was $50k and he lost $100k that doesn't mean he is in profit.

I've been threatened on several occasions  to leave gambling by my family  members and that was one of the most challenging  period for me because I was already making alot of losses from it and was spending  more time trying to recover my losses but I wouldn't  say I was chasing my losses because the  quest to recover my losses also gave me passion to seek for more decent ways to make money online and that boasted my passion for bitcoin.

Another threat incidence  was when I was in high school and already i was crossibg my limits that I had to gamble with every spare money I had and it was already becoming obvious in my neighborhood  that friends had to threaten me and also make me choose between  our friendship  and gambling  since they felt it wasn't telling a good tale about our reputation

[piebeyb]

Maybe this is what I'm worried about when my wife finds out that I'm hiding something from her especially about money, I've always been honest with my wife lately that I only use a little of my salary to gamble and she always manages our family's finances well, I only gamble just to look for fun, even though I lost a lot, but at least when I occasionally won, I bought her jewelry as gratitude for managing my finances well.

But seeing this story is like seeing myself, so try to be honest with those closest to us about finances, especially if you have a wife, because of course a wife will not demand anything except our honesty as husbands, so be honest and open to our wives so that the household stay peaceful and there are no restrictions on gambling.

I don't gamble that much. Most of the times I have participated in gambling I have lost. But I have never threatened my wife about this gambling. Because I share everything with my wife. My wife also shares everything with me. I think if husband and wife can do any work together then there is no obstacle in that work. One mistake OP's friend made was participating in gambling without informing his wife. If he had informed his wife and participated in the gambling, surely her wife would have understood and accepted it.

[bitzizzix]

For me, my wife and children are irreplaceable treasures, and if there is something my wife does not like for some reason, that is not good and can be detrimental to myself and my family. And I will choose to stop because when it comes to money I am sure because there is such a thing as Fortune for my wife and children through me without having to gamble.

and for now my wife doesn't know I like to gamble and I'm also very careful if I want to gamble and not at home, because I'm not an active gambler so I also do it very rarely. And I sometimes gamble when I'm not home or do it at work when I have some free time and only gamble small amounts that I don't care if I lose, and just for fun.

To be honest, when I was not married, I was an active gambler, especially real or traditional gambling and also online, but after I got married it slowly started to decrease and when I had children I didn't even have the desire to gamble, and from then until now my wife doesn't know about it.

The wife of your friend definitely got a point and his actions are understandable and warranted as well after knowing what he was doing behind her back. It will be too much for her to bear to learn those things suddenly that their money has been flushed through gambling and if there were some winnings, she was again left with no idea what is happening as she didn't know in the first place that his husband was into gambling.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Well, my wife and my family holds no grudge against my gambling activities because they know that I'm into it and they know as well that it's only my past time and my kind of entertainment whenever I'm having a bad day at work. They understand what I'm doing as long as my expenses towards gambling are not destroying our finances.

Reading this story, I once again thought that it is so important and good to have a wife. They monitor our normal condition, guys. If someone loses huge amounts of money at roulette or other gambling, and the wife threatens to leave the family, then it's right!

This is the best way to think about your moral and mental health.
Because game cant be more important than family.

[_act_]

I think moderation is the key here and if done properly one can enjoy the fun in such activities while giving time to family too and then this type of disharmony could be minimized.

That is just it. Anything that is done moderately like gambling, letting your wife knowing about it and doing it in a way you are putting just very small amount of money, the wife would not have talked. Wife can talk and getting to a point of breaking up and divorce if the man is an addict or wasting too much money on gambling.

But seeing this story is like seeing myself, so try to be honest with those closest to us about finances, especially if you have a wife, because of course a wife will not demand anything except our honesty as husbands, so be honest and open to our wives so that the household stay peaceful and there are no restrictions on gambling. 

Honesty is good, it can help. But what if a gambler is honest but severely affected by gambling? I mean losing hugely to gambling. This can result to conflict between a wife and her husband. I do not think honesty is really the key here, what I think is most important is not not to be wasting money on gambling. To gamble responsibly.

[dothebeats]

Never. I haven’t been reprimanded to stop my gambling exploits because i know how to control my finances and my gambling urge. Fortunately, I know better when it comes to using my money into things that really matter. Unfortunately for your friend, he decided to be secretive about it, and he’s caught and now that’s another conversation between partners. They should not keep secrets about finances, especially if it might cause them problems later on.

I do gamble but i do keep it as a secret because im not really liking the idea on telling it to my wife because she would surely be making me stop specially even if those money or funds are really just that small

but she would really still refuse on playing gambling because those amounts could neither be used on other things instead.She's really that good when it comes to funds management on which it would be applied into something better or beneficial for the whole family.Yes, she's the one who do make out that budget which you his husband should really be giving out on whatever you do earn and this is really just part of married life but sometimes there are really that moments on which we do really like to play gambling and this is where we do secretly make out some involvement.

If the time comes that there would really be some threatening about separation or divorce then i would completely be stopping it.I cant afford on losing my wife just for the sake of gambling.
Im pretty sure that even if i would come into a point on being a gambling addict, i could still make out a wise choice of course.

[Vaskiy]

Earlier I used to gamble often and my girl know it well. At some point when financial issues arise, she started to indicate it as one of the reason. If I haven't gambled we could've been better in our finance. What she said is true, and taking that in mind I've reduced my gambling activities. However at some time period I used to gamble and this is completely a secret as most of the gamblers does.

[Issa56]

I think the wife is just after her own percent if the husband wins big amount and that's all, not that she hates gambling or she is having anything against his husband, she is just pained that the husband have won huge amounts of money in the past and he didn't give him anything or maybe the wife request for money from the husband at that moment and he didn't give her.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I am not married yet and my girlfriend those not have access to my phone, we don't stay together so she can't even know am gambling if I don't tell her. Most girls those not really like gambling, so to save myself from unnecessary stress and argument, I don't have to tell her am gambling and am sure she will find it difficult to discover that am gambling.

if there is one thing that I always have with me as a code and rule in matters involving money and marriage then one should not have secrets, it is extremely important for there to be trust between the couple, when the couple has a budget x value then it is It's fair that both of you know everything about expenses and if the husband has a small budget earmarked for gambling and the wife also a small budget earmarked for her own needs then in this scenario there will be no problems in the marriage, the problem starts to arise when the family's budget house is small and they are having to cut some expenses and the husband is playing in the casinos

and women are well aware that gambling is not profitable, in fact the majority of society does not have much love for gambling, which leads to serious problems in marriage, which is why married people have little time and space for gambling. gambling, marriage is a big responsibility, in my case I don't need to lie to anyone about everything I do in life, luckily I also hate lying about money and I don't do that, I don't lie about gambling but I don't recommend it and I don't even encourage people from the real world around me to play a lot and mainly I warn them that they shouldn't look at gambling as something lucrative because it's not true, they would just lose money

[ralle14]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

If I do the same thing your friend did in front of my parents, they'll probably threaten me to quit, but I wouldn't be that careless. Your friend is lucky that he can convince his wife after his gambling mistake because not all loved ones are that easy to convince.

Honesty is good, it can help. But what if a gambler is honest but severely affected by gambling? I mean losing hugely to gambling. This can result to conflict between a wife and her husband. I do not think honesty is really the key here, what I think is most important is not not to be wasting money on gambling. To gamble responsibly.

I guess it depends on the person it wouldn't hurt to rely on someone else as they can also be the one to give you that awareness and help you break your gambling habit.

[Cling18]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Your friend made the correct decision by putting his wife before gambling. Marriage should be prioritized over all other considerations, particularly if gambling damages their finances. Given that his continued irresponsible gambling could harm their future, the wife is within her rights to feel that way about her husband.
I haven't had any experiences like this yet. My spouse is aware of my activities and is not alarmed by the fact that I occasionally gamble. I believe the potentially severe issue won't surface unless there are excessive or irresponsible gambling behaviors. For us not to experience relationship issues because of gambling, we should always be mindful of our actions and make sure that gambling isn't affecting our finances because of our wrong decisions.

[SmartGold01]

Sometimes my husband gambles and not often although I do watch over his games and he made everything open to me even though he wins he would tell me, whenever he made lose he would also tell me. I can't threatened my husband to stop gambling why because I know any money won from it is an additional source of income to our house and there's no way for me to threaten him or even divorce him because I wasn't told for any reason.

[smyslov]

No, not yet  maybe when I'm in the same shoes your friend is in, my wife knows I'm gambling but I'm gambling moderately with money allocated for gambling and if I won I just tell her to avoid any issues wives are like that they do not want any secret especially when it comes to money matters.

It's ok to gamble as long as you tell your wife how much money and how long are you spending per session, honesty is still the best policy especially when it comes to money matters.

[Casdinyard]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

If it came to that point already, then it must mean your friend's in a pickle, maybe even addicted to gambling and it's getting on the wife's nerves already. With that being said, and I don't mean to be a life coach or a relationship counselor here but the friend shouldn't really focus on wooing the wife to let him play again but should focus on actually wooing her to get her trust and love back, that's going to save their relationship and would definitely help in the future when similar problems come about.

The friend must also look into interventions in order to have him rid of the lingering want to gamble. It's gonna cost him more than his marriage in the future if he keeps at it without getting the help he needs. Gambling addiction is one of the most devastating form of addiction by the way, second only to drug abuse. So with that fact in mind he should take this issue seriously and assess himself. No regular person in their right minds would want to woo their wives to convince them to allow them to gamble again. To me that's a surefire sign that something awry is already cooking.

From the story you tell in this thread, I can really feel it. at least, I have many stories related to the same thing as you tell. but it didn't happen to stories in my gambling life, but to some of my friends. not just threats, but at farewell because my friend is too addicted to his gambling. which ends, in the breakdown of a husband and wife relationship. I'm sure, there are lots of related stories out there about like the ones we're discussing in this thread. there are also, who have spent all their possessions including selling properties just to fulfill their gambling desires. however, his wife remained patient because she believed that one day her husband would stop. I saw it, the stories and experiences that happened in my circle of friends.

I personally, had bad times in gambling. however, not in crypto casinos. precisely, land-based casinos. fortunately, at that time I did not have a wife, so no one threatened me. now I am more responsible with what I do, especially in this one hobby. having this one hobby, obviously will have a lot of challenges and risks. whether it's from the family side, also from the risk of addiction. however, if we can manage it. everything will be fine. because, we know which one must be fulfilled first and prioritized. after that, we can have fun with this one hobby. but on condition that neither party is harmed. whether it's wife, family, or friendship.

Despite losing a lot of money overall, despite spending more time gambling, despite hiding those big money wins in the past - my question is;

- is your friend remain responsible to his family despite being a gambler?

I'm sure it's not just about being a gambler but maybe your friend did some other sh*t that led to his wife considering a legal separation. And how is his wife able to track his lost money if she only checks the withdrawal? Usually, it should be on betting record history and I doubt his wife will have the patience to check and track every single bet one by one. Just my guess.

my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

With that statement, I think the issue is not that serious lol.

[Oasisman]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Nope, because my knows I'm not a regular gambler and she knows how much I earned from my day job, so if there's a discrepancy with the calculations of my monthly earnings, she will automatically activates her inner investigator attitude.
However, this kind of situation is pretty common for those men who have excessive and uncontrolled gambling habits. In fact, one of my old friend have been into hiding now due to excessive gambling that he have multiple debts from several people he knew. I'm not just sure what would be the status of their living with his wife now.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

By the way, why would my wife or girlfriend have access to my gambling logins? Or is it her money I am gambling off, or it's still the money I stress my ass to make?

Most times, I know that the reverse is the case in marriage or relationships where the woman has to work and bring money to the table while the man is just stressing less, and if in that case, the man is only gambling off the woman's money, yes, she has the reasons to rant and get angry or even take any legal action. But if it's a case where the man is the one stressing to get the money, the woman doesn't have to threaten him to stop gambling because that's obviously not going to work on some guys. The best approach to doing so is to calmly advise the guy about it, and if he refuses to change and she is not okay with the gambling habit he has, then she can also take legal action and have the right to leave the guy. But, well, people handle their problems in a way that suits them. I know my girlfriend tried to get mad at me for my gambling habit, but common, she can't threaten me because it's my money I'm gambling with. Although she's just looking out for me to avoid losses, but in gambling you can't avoid losses for fun. Also, I just try to respect her decision because she calmly makes me see reasons why not to gamble, but I don't gamble more often, and I don't even gamble a huge amount. The only situation I feel a bit threatened is when my two gambling mates come visiting and she will be angry because the feel they only convince me to gamble.

Everything should really be that transparent and on the time that you would really be entering that marriage life then you should really be that honest and wouldnt really be hiding something from your wife
because there are things which cant really be kept secret forever and once you've been busted up then for sure you would really be having that huge problem afterwards. The only thing that you shouldnt
really hide from your wife is about on how much money you do make and how much you've been spending. We know that they are really that something sensitive when it comes to money specially on spending.
They should know about those in's and outs and same as yours on which my wife does know on how much i do earn and she's the one would really be making up the division in speaking about
daily expenses and other things in life which it is really that needed for you to deal with. Each husband or men would really be totally different on what are the things that running into their heads.
Some are honest and some are really that secretive.

[coin-investor]

When it comes to your partner you should be as honest as possible, especially when it comes to money matters, and gambling addiction is a serious issue because it a ground for separation, so if you're going to gamble and you have a partner already be as honest as possible, I don't have problem with my partner because I never kept secret how and when I gamble especially when winning which is the most important.
If you win don't keep it to yourself she should have a part of it since you are a partner, win or lose you should tell her so he can guide you if you're going reckless in gambling.

[alastantiger]

I feel bad for the poor woman. She must be going through a lot to use the divorce card on her husband. He prolly didn't realize the mental and physical damage his is causing his family. Thank goodness he chose his family over gambling because he would be rejected by his bros if he had done otherwise.

I have never been threatened. If you gamble responsibly and follow your budget no one is going to have you choose between them and gambling. And for the story, the wife has to insist that her husband goes for therapy or something.

I mean depending on the situation it can be completely warranted.  There are some people who do.t like gambling at all but if it's controlled its fine.  But if you are blowing your life savings and ruining your family's life then yeah I would hope someone would step in and give you an ultimatum.  I never have been but again only gamble what you can afford to lose and you should be all good.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Well, regardless of anything, this condition is actually a difficult choice for your friend, but in my opinion, things like this can trigger a desire to change.
Gamblers are indeed very difficult to change, but in this case when his wife also takes part in it and doesn't just order him to gamble, it will be even better because it can be used as moral support for your friends.
However, when someone doesn't want to lose something then they have to be prepared to lose something else, gambling can't be completely eliminated but in this case I think with threats like this even though it might not have an effect on some people but if your friend really loves his wife then it will greatly affect the change at least gambling with big money will be a little more reduced.

^Definitely right and I agree with you about this, because for me, this transparency is the key to maintaining trust and fostering a healthy relationship. By sharing your wins with your partner, you are acknowledging the importance of involving them in your financial decisions.
Remember, being open about both your wins and losses is equally important and if you experience reckless behavior in gambling, it becomes even more helpful to seek guidance from your partner. They can provide support, help you make responsible decisions, and prevent potential financial harm. So there is no reason to be threatened to stop gambling if you can explain to them that you can control your emotion towards gambling and instead, support your happiness.

But there are mens who do engage on things without tending to tell into their wives because they do believe that it isnt something that should really be worried about but just like on what others been saying that
in speaking about money and if things turns out to be known or the secret has been blown out then how you would really be able to explain it? Just like on what others been saying that you should really be
that transparent if you do like a healthy relationship on where there's no secrets and other stuffs around.

You would really be putting up your relationship on a big or huge problem if ever one has been caught out on doing something which is really make the one getting behind or really that getting blind.
Agree that when it comes to money which is one of the most important factor on where it would be needing to be explained out then once there would be problems molded because of it then
this would might result into such bad discussions and possible outcomes.If you dont like for it to happen then better not to do this.

[Hispo]

The problem of that person is that he has not been opened about his gambling habits since the beginning. What can of relationship can go on in the long term if one or both of the parts are hiding such relevant information, like money and finances.

In my case, I have never had to go through anything like that because I am a social and casual person when comes to gambling and i know that my family would intervene on me if they found out I am getting into financial struggles because I am gambling away the money I get.

One needs to find the equilibrium between being a responsible adult and keeping a money consuming hobby as gambling can be, and also other kinds of hobbies...

[bekti3]

Threats like this will not have any impact because indeed even when we are threatened but with a liking for gambling it will indeed be a little difficult.
But talking about the one who threatens is the closest person, so this is also a difficult choice and now it's up to your friend to decide and I think this can be more effective, of course, it's just that it still needs a number of conditions to really free him completely .

If we are talking about some friends or even just relatives then it should be fine but if we do speak someone we do love like our wives then it would really be no brainer that we would really be choosing her
than gambling unless if your addiction is really into that certain extent on which it is really that severe on which you do really exchange it for the sake of gambling. I agree on what most people been saying here that when you are engaging into something then you should really be letting knowing your wife whether he would really be having that approval or not but if she would opposes then its better
to respect it because they know the better good specially when it comes to money.

I agree on some sayings that being transparent is always best but even sometime i do make myself do hid up something from my wife specially on things i do know that she
would definitely disagree with it.

[X-ray]

I agree that's also my view if he is only honest and does not hide anything from his wife, his wife will let him gamble just moderately, wives have a budget to protect even if it's the husband's money he still has a concern because what both owns are conjugal, wives will be angry if the husband did not tell her about his huge winning it's like betraying her, but it's good that he choose his wife than gambling, relationship is important than gambling

His wife may have some bad opinions related to him. I meant his wife didn't know what happened with the cash flow. That's why being dishonest was making his wife put a lot of suspicions to his friend. He can try to talk with his wife privately and he can easily solve the problem.

He must be explaining the whole of cashflow that happened while he was on the journey dealing with gambling. The best way to fix his problem with his wife. His wife just need to make sure if he has not something bad being hidden from him like taking a loan from bank for gambling purpose. It's unacceptable for thing his wife.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

It has not happened to me because I am quite rational in my use of gambling and I have been straightforward in explaining it. I don't hide, I say I do it, occasionally, in moderation, it doesn't put a hole in my finances and every now and then I take some extra money. I have not found myself in the situation but if my partner or previous partners had put me in the position of 'it's me or gambling', I would have left her. Not specifically because of the gambling issue but because I have very clear boundaries in my relationships.

[Cantsay]

Nah!!! Nobody in my house knows that I gamble.

And if perhaps they find out I highly doubt that they'll force me to stop because first of all the amount I do spend on gambling is very small so it's not something that will result in panic.
The only time they were supposed to have known was when I won a bet that gave me a large amount and due to that excitement, I almost broke the news to them but had to stop due to something.

I'm not married so I don't really know what my future wife believes will be toward gambling but if I have to quit gambling to save my marriage I won't be hesitant

[Strongkored]

Hahaha, your friend just needs to give a promise to his wife to tell her about every win he gets so actually his wife doesn't have a problem if he continues to gamble as long as there is a notification, then tell her every time he gambles because maybe your friend's wife will also be involved in her husband's game because it turns out Playing casino games is very fun, especially if you can win.
I often see that a marriage runs aground because the partner gambles and spends quite a lot of money without ever telling the partner but usually it will be very dangerous if the gambling is carried out to affect their family's finances because they use money for important things and also make them have debt because her husband gambled uncontrollably.
In my society, what's even sadder is that it often happens to poor families, husbands gamble because they think they can get money but the opposite happens because gambling is not a way to earn and sometimes it can be dangerous if done without responsibility.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I have never experienced this and because I can control myself enough when playing I understand how much I can spend and maybe it can go a little over the budget but it's still under control.

in the case of your friend, the wife is not wrong, a husband and wife must prioritize communication and your friend is not honest with his gambling habits, so his wife is angry with him.

before marriage, i told my wife frankly about my gambling habit, at first she was surprised but I explained that it would not interfere with the family's finances, even though at first she was doubtful but I have shown proof, my gambling has never made us fight, even when i win big or lose big, i am open with my wife.

marriage is not easy, if you are not open with your partner then be prepared to always fight or worse > divorce.

[gabbie2010]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I don't usually hide anything from my wife so in case of gambling, firstly I am addicted to it I do gamble occasionally because of my knowledge in soccer and she is aware of it so I can't be threatened by wife because I haven't cross my boundary, secondly I only gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose, checking through my record will reveal that my bet was played with small fund which wouldn't raise any eyebrows having know the implications of playing bet with huge amount of money and the risk of losing such a huge amount of money and it consequences even for my health and possibly and mistakenly revealing those losses to my wife.

[Outhue]

That'd a good woman, it's not about winning some money in the past and not telling her, if that's the case she won't mind but only warn him to always tell her when the husband win any money, but she just can't stand that she married a gambler, the risk is huge and if you think something is not right with what she did, pray that your younger sister married a gambler, you will see why it's bad then.

It's either you take your responsibility very seriously and control yourself when gambling or keep gambling as you feel like and stay away from married life.

[Pierre 2]

I was little threatened by my mum when I was around 18 because I was doing sports betting regularly. I told her that I do it casually and not wasting a lot of money but she was very angry and worried. Nowadays she doesn't care a lot. I heard from friends and relatives that most wives are very very worried about their husband's gambling habits. I think bad examples affect people so they are very worried they will experience similar issues.

[danherbias07]

First of all, your friend is such an idiot for not sharing his winnings with his wife. I mean, for me that's the best story I could tell her.

My wife knows I am gambling and she would know that I won a bet because I scream so hard at home cheering for the team that I bet for.  And I don't really mind telling her everything even my losing side because I don't really like keeping secrets between us too. IMO, that's not a healthy relationship and might end up like your example with your friend.
Trust is not easy to gain again once you lost it. And women are hard to please whenever you make a mistake. So it's just better to be honest with them until the time they won't even listen to what you tell them which gives you freedom to gamble. A little trick for gambling husbands here.

[Crypt0Gore]

That's women for you, if the man won a life changing money now you will see a different reaction, bit I can't blame her, getting wrecked because of gambling is very bad and for someone who has a family it's going to be bad, for the woman and the kids.

If you can beat the desperate taste for gambling then you have no problem, if you can gamble responsibly like others have said on this forum then it won't go bad, you will lose some money for sure but not a life ruining situation like some gamblers get themselves into.

The reason why I can't get addicted or have passion for gambling is because the losing part is inevitable, I don't want to know how smart you are, you will lose money when gambling, that's why using small amount of money is the best.

Always ask yourself, if I lose this money do I still have a life to go back to? Some people go extra miles, using some funds that's meant for securing a good life for your families and use such money for gambling, when losing is the game of gambling.

I think your mother gave good advice for you to stop. Usually someone threatens us to stop gambling. He has had past experiences, whether he saw his friends or relatives who became gambling addicts and their lives were tormented, so that with past experiences, people will usually pressure them to stop. so that it doesn't get worse.

The danger of being an addict is when we lose our minds so we don't care about our family or the assets we have, sometimes addicts like that are dangerous because it's hard to stop someone from becoming an addict unless it comes from himself. I also have the same wife but this is where honesty is needed so that my wife can control me as well as limit spending my money on gambling.

[Wakate]

Earlier I used to gamble often and my girl know it well. At some point when financial issues arise, she started to indicate it as one of the reason. If I haven't gambled we could've been better in our finance. What she said is true, and taking that in mind I've reduced my gambling activities. However at some time period I used to gamble and this is completely a secret as most of the gamblers does.

This is a often scenerio and most time women always look for something to blame us for our misfortune. When they see that they are not getting what they expected from us, they do look for some excuses to blame us since we are not able to provide them with what they wanted. Sometimes we can even blame ourselves if the pressure is too much to bear.

I believe that she would be very happy if you tell her that you were able to make some huge profits from gambling which she would not mind you to continue gambling since you are getting profits from it. When the time for you to pay back, most time they might blame us for not been too conscious of the outcome before you.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

   -  If that happens to me, it's simple as a person with a normal mind, of course I would choose my wife like that because she is important to me, although I made a big mistake. But we all deserve a second chance.

It seems like the woman's threat like that is a warning to me, maybe if I value gambling more that means I really don't want to gamble and that's not good either of course. So, it's really good that we still have control over our online casino gaming or stop it now.

   -  If that happens to me, it's simple as a person with a normal mind, of course I would choose my wife like that because she is important to me, although I made a big mistake. But we all deserve a second chance.

It seems like the woman's threat like that is a warning to me, maybe if I value gambling more that means I really don't want to gamble and that's not good either of course. So, it's really good that we still have control over our online casino gaming or stop it now.

Good decision to choose you wife over gambling since this is just supposed to be a past time and maybe he take those things seriously maybe she just made those threat to stop his husband on what he do since she already see that it damage them financially especially  when his husband is already hiding something to her. I never came unto this point as I always transparent on my finances to my girlfriend since I don't want this thing to cause trouble on our relationship.

For someone to have advised a complete withdrawal for you in gambling means that you have not been performing well in some certain areas of life which is affecting them with the relationship they have built with you, I've not been in such position neither was i advises by someone before, but I've seen many cases that turned serious misunderstanding between two or more people on the issue of withdrawal from gambling, everything a the end will be accounted for their irresponsibility to the family, friends, work or any other areas we found ourselves attached to people.

[ethereumhunter]

I would prefer a wife even before I was threatened to choose to continue gambling or threatened by my wife because a wife is someone who will accompany my life until later. There's no need to threaten me to stop gambling because I know when to stop so it's pointless.

It's better to be honest even though it hurts because at least they know the situation and if we have problems, they can help overcome them. It's best if your friend tells the truth to his wife and tries to tell if he has a gambling addiction (if he has one).

Maybe that person needs a threat to stop him from gambling because some people need a threat first before they can realize it. And if he really loved his wife, he would stop gambling immediately and never gamble again. But that's up to the person because he decides it himself, especially if he already has a lot of money from gambling. And if that happens, the average person will choose to break up or divorce his wife because they think they can find a new wife.

And if they are disappointed, they may find it difficult to forgive us. That's why it's better, to tell the truth and what it is so they can understand why we gamble. Well, at least we've tried to be honest and maybe they will help us stop gambling and not have to fight because it will be difficult for many parties, not just us. But we can also make peace with our wife if we can really be responsible gamblers so it won't interfere with our family's finances.

[Reid]

Never.
I am sad for your friend if the wife does that to him but maybe it's a good thing so that next time he will tell her everything including his gambling hobby. It's not an embarrassing thing as long as you are being responsible. Use your own money, don't move the budget for home necessities, bills, and specially the savings account. Use only the spare money that you gained from either bonus from the job or a side job that you do to create profits for yourself.
It ain't good keeping it, might as well just tell her and hope she will accept it.

[Rabata]

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

I don't know how many gamblers would tell their family about their gambling wins and losses. Because if today he talks about winning in gambling, his family may praise him but tomorrow when he loses, he will be scolded. Moreover, they can predict the gambler's condition of mind when he loses. As a result, the gambler has to deal with various gambling problems. Which no gambler expect. So I think a gambler should not share his gambling with anyone in his family. But if there is a big win then it should be told to someone in the family. Actually I lost a lot in gambling which I never told my family members.

[demonica]

It's your friend's fault for hiding it with his wife. I understand why his wife acted that way cause what's the point of being married when your husband is hiding things from you that he gambles and he never shared his winnings with his wife. Also, his wife might just be worried about him getting addicted to gambling. At least, your friend chooses his wife and not gambling.

As for me, I never experienced being threatened although I'm open to my family that I gamble online. They know that I really don't gamble that often and that I don't spend too much money on it. Tho it may not be applicable to everyone, but as long as you're honest and open it won't be a problem to your family or your SO.

[Wexnident]

Kind of yea. Funny how it was in fact my first time gambling that I got threatened about it tbf. I've told this before but my first gambling experience was in Highschool. I was in a relationship back then, and well, let's just say she didn't know that I gamble. She knew I played with poker and the like with my classmates, she never knew money was actually involved. And well... after she discovered, rest is history. I stopped, like completely for a few years.

I'm just glad it wasn't anything above that right now (well I'm single so I couldn't really get problems from that), but well, sad state for your friend I must say. It was a lot lighter in my case since it was a teenage thing, but for your friend? Damn that's like a commitment that was suddenly clogged imo.

[harapan]

To an extent his wife is overreacting but your friend messed up. Probably what she saw made her feel its becoming an addiction, or its a shock for her to find out that he gambles. He shouldn't have hidden it from her in the first place.
She should know he gambles, maybe she wouldn't know the full details (like how much he makes and loses from gambling), but she should know he gambles. he might have deeper reasons why he didn't tell her about his big winnings but I just feel he couldn't tell her since its a secret.
To me he made the right choice quitting gambling for now to save his marriage 
If he would be able to convince her then good luck to him

It’s not an overreaction if you think about it carefully. The man have trust issue on his wife for not telling the huge win. This is a slap in the face to his wife since the husband  is wasting huge amount of money and time on gambling then he never remember to share his profit with his wife when he hits huge win. He probably don’t trust his wife about his money for making it a secret.

To me he made the right choice quitting gambling for now to save his marriage 
If he would be able to convince her then good luck to him

This is inevitable if he really love his wife. He should stop immediately since there’s no explanation that can make a woman believe to a man after that secret revelation.

[Weawant]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I haven't been threatened although I have threatened my friends on different occasion. There's nothing wrong with threatening for people to stop gambling when you noticed they're over doing it. Some people only react to threats when they know you are capable of doing it.

A friend of mine has gambled all the money he brought out and wanted to withdraw some money from the joint savings he had with his wife for his children education.. I threatened to let the wife know and he knows the wife doesn't joke with his children education.

He got himself together and decided to quit, I still told his wife and asked her to get a signature to the account and take it offline so money can only be taken through physical withdrawal as I know if I wasn't there, he would had lost everything they have saved for their children.

For experiences like this, to be honest, I have never experienced it because I am not married or have a wife, but I precisely on the day of finding such a phenomenon in my family, namely the judicial perpetrator is the son -in -law of my aunt, he spends his money from the work he produced to Playing gambling and it is really making the family angry with his wife because he was not oiled, and the behavior of the son -in -law was known after their two years of marriage, it was annoyed. Because indeed the culture in my environment does not have tolerance for gambling, I myself still do it secretly.
Their marriage is on the verge of divorce because the wives asked her husband to stop gambling if not they might be divorced.

[retreat]

If I look at it from his wife's perspective, this is natural considering that he is the head of the household and spending a lot of money just for gambling is quite wrong because he still has children and a wife who need living expenses. Not to mention he has the responsibility as a man to be responsible for the education and health of his children and many other things and that makes gambling a lot of money quite wrong for him. I honestly support his wife in this, because after all the future of the family is in his hands - he should be able to use the money he has been gambling with for something more profitable, like investing or starting a business and that is much better.

As I understand it, that big win "dissolved" in subsequent losses. It seems to me that his wife should be more afraid of him losing big than waiting for him to share a big win with her.
As for me, as a practitioner, I'm probably more afraid of becoming a gambling addict than my wife (who is not related to this) is worried about me, so I have never had such situations - I have enough self-control.

I don't know if you are married or not but I think even in an open relationship it is not everything that the husband tells the wife, every man has some kind of skeleton under their cupboard well I don't think I will blame the husband here as am  also a victim of keeping my gambling habit a secret from spouse. I understand why the wife acted like that because she was shock by the massive win the husband had but in a fair sense the man must have also been loosing so I guess his action are justified and I think if am ever faced in such conditions I think me and everyone in their right senses will choose their family over a gambling hobby.

[tusandii]

But if someone has really become a crazy gambling addict, he will not pay attention to threats from his wife and will still be more concerned with gambling which he already enjoys.
We can see cases like this for ourselves, many crazy gambling addicts whose families are destroyed and even abandoned by their wives and children because they do not prioritize family and are more concerned with gambling.
Even though there are not many, at least we can learn from such cases that being a gambling addict has a very bad impact.
It is not surprising that gambling addicts prefer gambling because they already feel pleasure and satisfaction when gambling.

There are things in our live we should stop hiding from our partner especially for married people as to avoid certain misunderstanding. Our partner should be carried along and if you feel they may not consent to what you're into like the gambling then there are ways you can talk them into understanding for the sake of your happiness they might obliged and support you controllably in it. I know of a family where the husband is a gambler even to the acknowledgement of the wife and older children. The wife keeps in check on how much he's got to spend on his gambling each week so he doesn't go rogue with spending. She clearly understands that gambling is a hobby for her husband and the only way she can come in is to help regulate his spending on it.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

I think I have but, from an unserious date. I wasn't really into her so I never took her threat for any thing serious because we were just dating and not married.

She had her hate for gambling through a horrible family member experience that was an uncontrollable gambler.

[Apocollapse]

If your parent threaten you to stop gambling, leave them and rent an apartment.

If your wife threaten you to stop gambling, you can threaten back you will not give her any money and you will stop gambling.

If your girlfriend threaten you to stop gambling, just broke up and search for another girlfriend who accept you to gamble.

Nothing can stop you to gamble, if you're not happy with their threat, just threat them back

Thanks to my luck, I have never been threaten for the thing. But, your friend should learn a lesson form his experience and should confess to his wife the circumstances that made him not to tell her about the wins. He should definitely give her a surprise gift to change her mind into positivity. The relationship is far more important than gambling and he must have to take proper steps to save his marriage.

He should not do any gambling until he can convince his wife that whatever he'll do he won't hide a thing from her. You know the females are quite emotional and with proper care she will allow him to gamble once again. It's necessary that he should do everything according to his wife because he was somehow betraying her by doing gambling without her knowledge.

Things will be okay in his life after a few days. But, if he continues doing gambling and if she finds it once again then the things might be hard to settle. So, it's for the best of his relationship to avoid doing gambling for sometime. And, focus on the things that could work to make their relationship strong.

[shinratensei_]

As long as your friend can be cooperated with his wife to stop gambling temporary and that will not be a big problem for him. His wife threaten him for a reason. It's caused by your friend was making some mistakes which can't be accepted by his wife.
It's better to stop it and then discussed it even further with his wife. The problem is your friend was doing something that makes his wife didn't like it.

If i were your friend and i will be discussing it privately with my wife. Think about the best solution that can be got together. It's far better rather than do nothing to fix the problem.

[jossiel]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Luckily, nope.

Well, your friend is secretive and that's one of the red flags if ever someone is in relationship. Especially when he's won big, he should told it to her and that will for sure give him at least the good side of gambling because her wife can enjoy that money that he's won.

But no, he chose not to tell it and then this unfortunate incident on him has happened. Well, if both of you are in a relationship, you shouldn't hide your activities especially if it involves money.

I don't know how long your friend will be able to hide it should his wife didn't found out his browser activities. This again gives the wrong impression to gambling because of one irresponsible gambler.

But nice choice, it should really be his wife to be the top choice than gambling.

[TheUltraElite]

Not to mention he has the responsibility as a man to be responsible for the education and health of his children and many other things and that makes gambling a lot of money quite wrong for him.

From the wife's perspective, she is worried about the future of their family and that is a normal thing. Watching the earned money get wasted by a member of the family leads to disharmony and this is not just the husband, often the kids grow up and they start doing things that cost money but are wasteful and then bigger problems come in the household.

These things often propagate, meaning the father gambling in the house leads to the kids watching it and then they start gambling with borrowed money from parents which leads them becoming addicted gamblers too. The lady of the house has to suffer all through out this and face the debt.

This might seem pessimistic to many readers, but like I said, moderation to gambling can be done and can prevent such a scenario.

[Aikidoka]

I haven't personally experienced being threatened by anyone, but it's unfortunate that your friend being caught by his wife and that he didn't tell her about his gambling activities aswell as when he won a lot of money. It must be a hard situation for him now as he may need to consider stopping gambling in order to keep the relationship safe. I feel bad for him to be honest  , but that's how it is.

Personally, I haven't been engaging in gambling activities much lately as my interest for gambling has decreased and I don't really have the mood for it. Previously, I always gamble on football games with rare occasions of betting on other sports. The last time I placed a bet was during the match between Real Madrid and Man City in the UEFA Champions League and I was lucky enough to win my bets.

Gambling is not addictive for me, but I am a regular gambler. For this reason, very few people around me know that I gamble, and generally I have never had a problem hiding my winnings as I have lost. In fact, I think hiding losses rather than winnings in gambling can be a serious problem because when someone addicted to gambling constantly hides their losses when they gamble, it is not very pleasant for that person. However, whether by gambling or by some other method. At the end of the day, each person's gain or loss is of interest to themself.
To empathize, especially if I make a big win or a big loss when I gamble, I would prefer to share it with people around me who know I gamble.

To first answer OP's question, there was a point in my life where my family was actually encouraging me to at least experience gambling.

As someone who grew up with a father who loves cockfighting, during my teenager years, I was exposed to gambling as my father would bring me to arenas of cockfighters. I would also watch him play blackjack and poker every holidays and that sparked my curiosity towards trying such act. My father would discourage us to try gambling but he was open to the idea of letting us experience it so we could decide on our own whether we want to continue or not.

To cut the story short, I tried it but I never actually won anything big. In fact, my losses were bigger than my winnings which prompted me to stop gambling.

[Davidvictorson]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

No, I have not been threatened to stop gambling but I have had to sit myself and to talk to myself on the best hacks to not allow gambling take over myself. I came up with some pretty good hacks. One of the them includes watching a video every fortnight on the dangers of gambling addition. I have not be so consistent but I do it atleast once per month.

Nobody should ever be in the situation the man in the OP's story was in. Sadly, a lot more people than reported are in that same situation. The worse of it all is those who are addicted both to gambling and have other forms of addiction.

Each player has their own story and your friend's story is so sad.
But the story you share is proof of the many pieces of advice I've heard from those who care about me.
Why, because I am also a former online gambling player who has quit.

Among many factors a person can stop gambling. There are those who stop because of the influence of their wives, children and parents. I mean, a person can stop gambling activities when he is married based on a personal desire to stop because when he is married, the responsibility will increase.
I quit online gambling because of them (wife and parents).

I have never had such an experience, actually my wife knows that I gamble a lot, it's just that my wife always reminds me or can be said to control me to gamble responsibly to avoid the bad past that I had when I was addicted to gambling. so my wife never threaten anything and whenever i tell my wife about win or lose she always say remember this is a gambling game so don't be proud if you win and don't get angry or emotional when you lose and enjoy every nice betting session without having to chasing lost money or thinking about getting a big win.
so my relationship with my wife has always been good because she understands and understands that limiting me to gambling is as much a mistake as imprisoning me. but my wife can understand it all and whatever message she said i will always appreciate it i will never deny it.
still gambling but also having a harmonious relationship with family is very enjoyable.

Lol, well, I don't gamble that much but if I do, I would probably let my partner know about it, especially if I've lost or won something significant that would directly or indirectly affect our finances. I also think that it is unethical to hide such things from your partner or even from your parents if you are still unmarried and live with your parents.

The ones who are the closest to you needs to know whatever you do in life, except it's something that you know isn't that much important and if they know about it, it will just make them worried without any reason.

[bekti3]

Threats like this will not have any impact because indeed even when we are threatened but with a liking for gambling it will indeed be a little difficult.
But talking about the one who threatens is the closest person, so this is also a difficult choice and now it's up to your friend to decide and I think this can be more effective, of course, it's just that it still needs a number of conditions to really free him completely .

If we are talking about some friends or even just relatives then it should be fine but if we do speak someone we do love like our wives then it would really be no brainer that we would really be choosing her
than gambling unless if your addiction is really into that certain extent on which it is really that severe on which you do really exchange it for the sake of gambling. I agree on what most people been saying here that when you are engaging into something then you should really be letting knowing your wife whether he would really be having that approval or not but if she would opposes then its better
to respect it because they know the better good specially when it comes to money.

But it would be really stupid if you abandoned your wife just for gambling, because regardless of what your wife said to leave her, even though it sounded quite harsh, it is proof that she still cares, and I don't think it should be wasted because regardless of what the choice to be with your wife is a really good thing but indeed if a friend of the OP doesn't care about that and only focuses on gambling it's certain he is a person who is seriously addicted luckily he still uses his common sense.

than gambling unless if your addiction is really into that certain extent on which it is really that severe on which you do really exchange it for the sake of gambling. I agree on what most people been saying here that when you are engaging into something then you should really be letting knowing your wife whether he would really be having that approval or not but if she would opposes then its better
to respect it because they know the better good specially when it comes to money.

But it would be really stupid if you abandoned your wife just for gambling, because regardless of what your wife said to leave her, even though it sounded quite harsh, it is proof that she still cares, and I don't think it should be wasted because regardless of what the choice to be with your wife is a really good thing but indeed if a friend of the OP doesn't care about that and only focuses on gambling it's certain he is a person who is seriously addicted luckily he still uses his common sense.

Totally stupid and doesnt make really sense if you would really be choosing gambling than with your wife but actually there are people who does have that extreme addiction would really be doing those
decisions which it isnt really something that a right minded person would really be able to do so. There are really fellas who would really be choosing up things which they do really seem that it makes them happy and make out those shit and nonsense kind of selection.On the time that you would really get caught on spending something on which your wife isnt really that able to know then of course they would really be having those common reactions.

If you cant afford on losing your wife then you would definitely quit up gambling but if you do then you would continue, but who would really be on their right minds on doing so?
You cant really just go with gambling and lose your wife, thats the stupidest thing to be done by a human being.

The most important thing to understand before you commit to someone is that a strong relationship is built only on mutual trust. If you are hiding something from your significant other, she is likely to find out about it at some point. If this guy trusted his wife completely and told her about his experiences, she would most likely notice that he was addicted to gambling and have a conversation with him. As a last resort, he could have gone to a professional. But this guy decided to be alone with his problem and was too weak to solve it. I hope he learned his lesson.

[bitbollo]

if the amount played become important that cannot kept hidden (both negatively and positively amount) it is always better to be transparent with your family unit.
My wife always knows the numbers I play/when I win or when I lose.
But it's a clear system of income and expenses, and even if these are negligible amount she is aware of what is going on.

[QueenVera]

It's your friend's fault for hiding it with his wife. I understand why his wife acted that way cause what's the point of being married when your husband is hiding things from you that he gambles and he never shared his winnings with his wife. Also, his wife might just be worried about him getting addicted to gambling. At least, your friend chooses his wife and not gambling.

As for me, I never experienced being threatened although I'm open to my family that I gamble online. They know that I really don't gamble that often and that I don't spend too much money on it. Tho it may not be applicable to everyone, but as long as you're honest and open it won't be a problem to your family or your SO.

I don't know if you've heard of happenings  about women lately but if you have heard of the news then you shouldn't have to blame the men because most of then are just trying not to get their lives messed up because their female counterparts  are doing the unimaginable and it's getting the men scared.
Whatever the case might be, I've been been threatened on several occasions by both families and friends and those moments where one of the hardest moments because I was given one of the hardest choices of my life and I had to choose between gambling and relationships.

[Finestream]

Im still keeping it private. As long as i were not addicted and that's not a problem. Using it only for entertaining purpose only. That's your friend's fault. He can hide his password to the safe place.

The only problem that has been facing your friend is being dishonest

The situation would be difference if he said everything to his wife.

I think that his wife can accept it as long as he would not be addicted to it.

If he had been honest from the start, his wife might have understood him even his gambling addiction. But maybe his intention is just to keep his secret throughout their marriage life so that’s what he gets when his wife has end up accessing all his gambling activities. Luckily, my wife has known ever since that I am a gambler, and if ever I make big wins, I always tell my wife about it and eventually get her shares,lol.

[Kemarit]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

No, the thing me and my wife gamble as well, so there is no conflict between us. Maybe if I'm the only gambler then perhaps I will be in the same situation with your friend and it's really going to be very difficult decision for him specially that it seems that he is already addicted to gambling.

But as you have said, your friend chooses to stop gambling for now and let his wife be happy for that decision. However, I have a feeling that he might comeback soon in gambling though. So I advise you to check from time to time how your friend is doing or even talk to his wife first and see if he completely stop his gambling activity or maybe he is hiding it again.

[goaldigger]

I’m being too responsible with regards to my gambling activities and my partner knows when I’m gambling because i always treat people around me when i make profit. Your friend OP should really trust her wife with this because it might affect their financial budget that can result to shortage of funds. Gambling can be very tempting, you have be on a budget and gamble with caution, your partner should know this to avoid being on a situation like this.

[Lanatsa]

Better to tell your wife rather than hide it, in this case if your close circle founds out you are hiding your entertainment activity aka gambling from them it may cause some problems. I have never been in such situation but it shows how bad consequences gambling can bring if you are addicted in gambling as a married person. I suggest stopping gambling if it causes problems in your real life especially it threatens your financial stability, IMHO.

There's no good thing on hiding up something from our wives on which it would really be something risky once she would be able to find out.Gambling out your family funds would really impose out some risks for you to having that divorce situation and if you dont like for it to happen then its better to confess and change for good. You are the ones who would really be the one to dictate on what would be your future.
This is why you should really be that sensible on whatever actions you would make specially if you do already have a family.You cant really  be just that too careless on spending up money
because there's no secrets that could be kept forever on which there would really be a time that you would really be able to tell it out or other people would be able to leak it out.
Once you do hear it out then for sure you would definitely be having that kind of regret.

[alegotardo]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I believe that when you share your personal life with someone... be it wife, children or parents, it is essential that they participate or at least know what you do, especially when money is involved that is not just yours, money that should be used together to buy or spend on something that involves the whole family and not just their own desires.

I think his wife was very understanding about giving him a second chance... I never had that problem because I'm very transparent about my home games and I play conscientiously.

[TelolettOm]

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

It is funny if his wife is more focused on winning than thinking about how much money your friend already spent. I'm sure the money spent was much more than the amount of money he won. If his wife really cares about your friend, she must disallow your friend to gamble because of too much spending money. And I really believe that she decided to threaten your friend to stop because of this reason, not about never telling the wins. Anyway, your friend already decides the right way by promising to stop gambling. He must be stopped temporarily at least when it causes a serious problem for his family, especially if it is related to his wife.

[LDL]

One thing I clearly understood from reading the incident is that your friend used to be addicted to gambling secretly from his wife but did not share any information about this with his wife. Another thing is that his wife secretly checked all the withdrawals recorded in the past with the password and found evidence that he had won huge profits in the past but did not inform his wife about it. In this case your friend should have shared the matter with his wife. His wife could help him in this matter. But now one solution is to get your friend to settle the matter with his wife in a friendly manner and get back into gambling. In this case your friend's wife must support your friend.

[ethereumhunter]

I would prefer a wife even before I was threatened to choose to continue gambling or threatened by my wife because a wife is someone who will accompany my life until later. There's no need to threaten me to stop gambling because I know when to stop so it's pointless.

Only the immature gamblers will be given such an opinion which they must abide in other for them to maintain their relationship because they are either addicted or have no relevance in their recent life because of gambling, making them to loose focus and not plan for themselves or the family, if i were such, i will do more to the man than just advising withdrawal, i will definitely threat him with things so precious daring to him in ither to triger the force stop.

Maybe that person needs a threat to stop him from gambling because some people need a threat first before they can realize it. And if he really loved his wife, he would stop gambling immediately and never gamble again. But that's up to the person because he decides it himself, especially if he already has a lot of money from gambling. And if that happens, the average person will choose to break up or divorce his wife because they think they can find a new wife.

But if someone has really become a crazy gambling addict, he will not pay attention to threats from his wife and will still be more concerned with gambling which he already enjoys.
We can see cases like this for ourselves, many crazy gambling addicts whose families are destroyed and even abandoned by their wives and children because they do not prioritize family and are more concerned with gambling.
Even though there are not many, at least we can learn from such cases that being a gambling addict has a very bad impact.
It is not surprising that gambling addicts prefer gambling because they already feel pleasure and satisfaction when gambling.

There are many cases, like you said, where the husband ignores the threats that come to him and only plays gambling because gambling cannot be separated from him. And after some time, the family was threatened with separation and finally, it really happened while the husband and wife often fought. Their children became a broken home. And their children, because they often see their parents fight, eventually become unstable and often make trouble outside the home. That is why a gambler must really pay attention so that he does not become addicted to gambling so that it does not cause serious problems for his family.

Because the biggest bad impact of a gambling addict is the family after that, then the social environment in which he lives.
Yes, it's a shame that there are so many broken families that really can't be repaired just because of the impact of a husband who became a gambling addict, especially as you said that a child affected by a broken home becomes out of control and often causes trouble outside home just to be able to vent what he felt on his family.
The head of the household should be able to think more clearly and defend his family, but after all, everyone's thoughts and perceptions are different so we can only take lessons and shake our heads when we hear of cases like this.

[BitcoinTurk]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Gambling is not addictive for me, but I am a regular gambler. For this reason, very few people around me know that I gamble, and generally I have never had a problem hiding my winnings as I have lost. In fact, I think hiding losses rather than winnings in gambling can be a serious problem because when someone addicted to gambling constantly hides their losses when they gamble, it is not very pleasant for that person. However, whether by gambling or by some other method. At the end of the day, each person's gain or loss is of interest to themself.
To empathize, especially if I make a big win or a big loss when I gamble, I would prefer to share it with people around me who know I gamble.

To first answer OP's question, there was a point in my life where my family was actually encouraging me to at least experience gambling.

As someone who grew up with a father who loves cockfighting, during my teenager years, I was exposed to gambling as my father would bring me to arenas of cockfighters. I would also watch him play blackjack and poker every holidays and that sparked my curiosity towards trying such act. My father would discourage us to try gambling but he was open to the idea of letting us experience it so we could decide on our own whether we want to continue or not.

To cut the story short, I tried it but I never actually won anything big. In fact, my losses were bigger than my winnings which prompted me to stop gambling.

We can say that it's a different story of your gambling life starts Although gambling is a bad habit according to the level of addiction and your family has tried to keep you away from it, unfortunately, when someone from your family plays, you are more curious and involuntarily try to try it too. In fact, to give an example from myself, I always lost more than I gained. But since I have never reached the level of addiction, gambling has always been a nice option that I can have fun with it. For this reason, I have never completely distanced myself from gambling, but I have not gambled in a way that creates continuity or addiction.

[FatFork]

In my own experience, I've found that keeping my partner informed about my gambling habits has helped to build trust and understanding between us. Even if the amounts being played with are small, it's important to keep your partner informed about your gambling, as well as other financial matters. This helps to avoid any misunderstandings or surprises down the line. Having a clear system of income and expenses is also a great way to ensure that everyone is on the same page. It helps to create a sense of accountability and responsibility for both partners, which can only be a good thing.

Not many couples who want their partners to become gamblers, but if it is already known after marriage there is no problem for it, still building responsibility for maintaining marriage relations, after all being able to manage expenses and income is also quite good because it can maintain household financial flow as well. The point is to understand each other.

As long as not being a heavy addict there is no harm in giving trust to our partners to gamble as long as it is still in the stage of gambling with small money and looking for entertainment at home, rather than looking for entertainment out there and having an affair will be even more painful.

I agree that being informed is very important because even if you have everything under control and you have never had a problem with gambling, your partner may have a negative experience associated with it. From himself or from his relatives, etc. Therefore, if he himself discovers that you are a gambler, while not telling him, he may perceive this extremely negatively.

[BitcoinPanther]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

My parent don't threatened me for playing in a gambling casino but they nagged me about the undesired consequences that may happen in the future if I got hooked or addicted on it.  My girlfriend has no say about it because she has no right to tell me on how I will spend my earnings, she only reminds me to keep it in control.

About your story, it is the right of the wife to know his husband's financial flows because the wife has the right and has 50% shares of the husbands property, money included.  So the husband is cheating his wife of the finances that should have been spend for the family, instead the husband spend it on gambling and never informed the wife of the losses and especially the winnings.  I support the decision of the wife because if the husband got addicted, it will ruin the fortune of the family so better to cut the relation if the husband does not listen to the wife's demand.  It is like letting the husband to choose between her and his gambling vices.  If the husband continue to gamble, it means the husband is choosing gambling over her and there is no need to continue the relationship.

[Mr.right85]

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

You did point out a few facts that puts the wife at right in her actions,
She didn't just jump at her husband to quit gambling out of suspicion, she was able to do her findings and establish her facts, find the husband to be making more loses than wins before issuing her threat for a divorce if the habit is continued.

It's both of them in the marriage and they both know what there challenges are in the marriage. For the wife to have foreseen what could affect there marriage and acted tye best way she could for a swift change, that's wise of her.

I agree with you here. It's best to be open and truthful about these things and they'll either accept it or not. If not, you'll know right away and will have to choose between your girlfriend and gambling.
Worst thing that can happen is you know she hates gambling, so you hide it from her, get married, then she finds out you've been doing it for years and threatens to divorce you, but you already have children whose life you'll destroy.

Can a person truly gamble responsibly? The slippery slope of gambling addiction is a real concern, but can we balance that thrill with moderation? Is it akin to tightrope walking, requiring perfect balance and precision, or is it more like a game of Russian roulette?

On to the tale of the gambler husband. There's certainly a trust issue at play here. I mean, is it acceptable to withhold information about one's financial losses and wins from a partner? If we're sharing our lives together, shouldn't we be sharing our financial status too? Or, is it perfectly fine to keep some secrets in the name of personal independence?

The wife choosing to leave the relationship - dramatic, indeed! It's a bold step that invites several debates. However, consider this: What if the husband was a day-trader instead of a gambler? Both can lead to losses or profits, but would the wife's stance remain the same? Does the stigma attached to gambling influence our judgement?

Well this is somewhat of a story which happens a lot when people get addicted but this looks suspiciously funny because the wife didn't care much about filing for divorce before she saw that he had lost a lot of money but above all because he didn't tell her his big wins before.

Well my wife knows that I gamble and we played these days Rabbit Garden from Pragmatic Play where we won quite some money and she was even calling me "my bunny"  both in the times where I was losing and both in the end where I withdrew quite some  decent amount of money,so what I want to say with this is that it all depends on the point of view.She also tells me to stop when I am near our predefined weekly bankroll for our gambling session.

[darewaller]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

I have never experienced this and because I can control myself enough when playing I understand how much I can spend and maybe it can go a little over the budget but it's still under control.

Going over the budget means that we lose control but good for you that you get back in track again. I hope you won't make the same mistakes because it's annoying. I never experienced to be threatened by my wife because she is a gambler too and even me, and I didn't scold her when there are times that she confess that she over-betted and lose more money than usual.

I know that he regretted it badly and she can take a couple of days of rest from gambling. I still have my parent with me but I never told them I am playing a gambling. Even if I do I think they wont get angry with me because it was my money that I use most of the times and I rarely ask money for them.

You cant really just go with gambling and lose your wife, thats the stupidest thing to be done by a human being.

Luckily this friend of the OP still has some awareness because believe it or not there are a handful of people who can do that and indeed they are a bunch of idiots who choose gambling over their closest people but in this case it still really exists even though only a handful of people do do that but cases like this can still happen.
Quitting gambling is not as easy as turning your palm but this can still be done but of course this clearly takes time and support from all parties, especially the closest family.

The point is to understand each other.

Sure, no wife wants his husband to be a gambler, especially an addict. We can understand how the negative impacts if someone becomes an addict. So, every wife should be very careful when it is related to this matter.

I agree that a wife doesn't need to threaten his husband to leave the house, she must maintain the marriage relation. There are many ways to warn a husband seriously. In most households, it is the wife who manages the finances. So, a wife can limit the money to give to her husband or lower the amount of his money when she knows he is an active gambler. An active gambler will be impossible to stop immediately, he needs time to reduce the intensity of gambling. He won't stop it in a day, so a wife must be patient to wait for the process.

As long as not being a heavy addict there is no harm in giving trust to our partners to gamble as long as it is still in the stage of gambling with small money and looking for entertainment at home, rather than looking for entertainment out there and having an affair will be even more painful.

Yep. It won't be a serious problem if someone can gamble normally. But not each person can gamble wisely or in a smart way. That makes a wife always feels worried about his husband when she knows his husband gambles regularly.

Yes it is, having that kind of circle will help you get through with it. Right circle will be there for you only if they still have the awareness and they are not addicted to gambling as well even they gamble . It is hard for a friend to understand if he did not know how to gamble or doesn't know the feeling to gamble and have fun with it.We can have always learn to be a right friend to a friend especially if we feel that they are slowly get addicted to it,we can help them as well as professional help needed.

Depending on the culture and how the level of understanding of our own partner. in China, gambling has become a culture and culture in their lives. both women and men, both like this one hobby. back to the discussion, I agree that not many couples want their partners to be gamblers. not infrequently, polemics come from this one hobby. In fact, this matter is neither easy nor difficult. In essence, mutual openness is needed between husband and wife. even then, must be built and supported by mutual trust.

Well, so the problem lies with us as husbands. at least, based on my experience. to build trust and a sense of responsibility is not as simple as we say. in essence, everything must be proven first. After that, trust was built from both sides. the point is, as the backbone of our family we must fulfill obligations that must be prioritized before involving hobbies. after everything is fulfilled, I can have fun with this one hobby. even then still accompanied by responsibility, because if not. problems will come, after we become gambling addicts.

^ Yeah, it really helped.
Friends who have a good understanding of gambling and its possible risks can offer valuable support and guidance. It is indeed challenging for someone who has not experienced gambling or does not comprehend the allure and excitement it can bring to fully understand how dangerous the situation is. Because for me, recognizing the signs of addiction and being proactive in helping a friend who may be developing a gambling problem is very risky. As friends, we can educate ourselves about responsible gambling practices and the potential risks associated with it. By doing so, we can prepare the situation with empathy and provide the right support to our friends.

[livingfree]

A real man will choose to go with his desires and that's to gamble...... Kidding aside. He did the right decision and chosen not to get eaten with his vice for being a gambler that don't even know when to share when he's got big winnings.

That's the mistake brother when you just soloed the money that you've got. If he just given his wife some bucks then he might even get a cup of tea or coffee every time he tells his wife that he'll go to gamble.

It's a sign of respect to your partner when you're allowing her/him to know what's up with you as of the moment.

Luckily this friend of the OP still has some awareness because believe it or not there are a handful of people who can do that and indeed they are a bunch of idiots who choose gambling over their closest people but in this case it still really exists even though only a handful of people do do that but cases like this can still happen.
Quitting gambling is not as easy as turning your palm but this can still be done but of course this clearly takes time and support from all parties, especially the closest family.

Yes it is, having that kind of circle will help you get through with it. Right circle will be there for you only if they still have the awareness and they are not addicted to gambling as well even they gamble . It is hard for a friend to understand if he did not know how to gamble or doesn't know the feeling to gamble and have fun with it.We can have always learn to be a right friend to a friend especially if we feel that they are slowly get addicted to it,we can help them as well as professional help needed.

^ Yeah, it really helped.
Friends who have a good understanding of gambling and its possible risks can offer valuable support and guidance. It is indeed challenging for someone who has not experienced gambling or does not comprehend the allure and excitement it can bring to fully understand how dangerous the situation is. Because for me, recognizing the signs of addiction and being proactive in helping a friend who may be developing a gambling problem is very risky. As friends, we can educate ourselves about responsible gambling practices and the potential risks associated with it. By doing so, we can prepare the situation with empathy and provide the right support to our friends.

But we know that there are people of this world doesnt have any friends or someone who are really just not getting used to have other relationship or connection with other people but rather focusing into their own
family and relatives and a few known ones but not totally that close on which they would really be helped out on the time that it would be needed. This is why it would really be that important that you should really be
wary in regarding on what are the actions that you should make and if you are engaged with gambling then always be thinking off about moderation and everything should be in control.

Once you do come into a point on which your family is already that been affected and your wife comes into a point which you would be needing to have some choices then for sure you would really be on a tough
situation on which you would really be finding yourself on needing to choose one. No one can afford on losing their wives just because you've been exchanging them by gambling.
You are out of your mind if you would tend to do so.

I was a bit addicted to gambling since my childhood but under my mother's rule I often abstained from gambling. But nowadays with various online casinos and gambling sites, my parents can't stop me from gambling. But one thing is very important because I am very young now and have the ability to control myself. So I don't indulge myself in gambling but my wife makes me this bad in Many times the urge to break out of the habit. However, with my wife's encouragement, I devote very little time to online casinos and gambling. I now stay away from betting only on IPL cricket. But my wife won't let me catch more than one bet every day.

Surely your wife has a reason for that and the most likely one is financial reasons, women always have more in-depth considerations about money than men because women feel the need to see their families happy and financially well, while gambling can often be financially damaging if done without control because they only gamble using existing money without thinking that the money is for important things.
But at least your partner still allows you to keep gambling even with very small limits and sometimes it might not be fun when there are several matches being carried out at the same time and you see that there is an opportunity to be able to get profit on several bets, not just one, but respect what your partner you are still much better because gambling should not be the main thing but fun and if you can profit you will be even happier.

There are many cases, like you said, where the husband ignores the threats that come to him and only plays gambling because gambling cannot be separated from him. And after some time, the family was threatened with separation and finally, it really happened while the husband and wife often fought. Their children became a broken home. And their children, because they often see their parents fight, eventually become unstable and often make trouble outside the home. That is why a gambler must really pay attention so that he does not become addicted to gambling so that it does not cause serious problems for his family.

Because the biggest bad impact of a gambling addict is the family after that, then the social environment in which he lives.
Yes, it's a shame that there are so many broken families that really can't be repaired just because of the impact of a husband who became a gambling addict, especially as you said that a child affected by a broken home becomes out of control and often causes trouble outside home just to be able to vent what he felt on his family.
The head of the household should be able to think more clearly and defend his family, but after all, everyone's thoughts and perceptions are different so we can only take lessons and shake our heads when we hear of cases like this.

I just look at the events around me because so many families have been torn apart due to uncontrolled gambling. None of this should have happened and if the head of the household doesn't play gambling or leaves before it's too late, they might still have a chance to improve their lives.

These are all valuable lessons for us to learn and avoid so that our families are not adversely affected by gambling, especially if they become addicted. We have to think about our children's future and prepare everything for them even though they will still have to try as we do. At least we have helped them to be able to get a much better life than us.

[Mauser]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

No so far nobody has threatened me to stop gambling, I don't think this a very healthy way to end the relationship immediately because of it. On one side I can understand the wife, she feels betrayed by your friend that he his keeping such a huge secret from her and that he is losing a lot of money with it.   However, threatening to end a marriage over it seems a bit extreme to me.No idea how they run their household, in case they have separate accounts and both of them are working full time, then it seems fine to have some spare money to gamble with. But if they are low on cash and have bigger plans in life than it could be a huge issue to lose larger amounts of money. There will always be issues in a marriage and ending it all because of it seems wrong. A healthy relationship is realising there are issues talking openly about them. For me trust is one of the most important things in a relationship, that is also why I don't want to keep my gambling habit a secret. My advice would be to talk open about the topics in the future and don't keep big secrets from your wife.

There are many gamblers who have sold their houses or land but still gamble. They don't think about the future. Its effect is not only on their lives but also on their children. So a gambler should learn controlled gambling.

I see this as not a threat but a way for your wife to help you prevent getting more addicted in gambling.
They might express their feelings in the wrong way but I'm sure, all they want is to have a better life and we know gambling is not good at all. Though if its a serious threat and they are already doing it, then I believe you have to consult the authority for this one, imagine being threatened for spending your own money, I think its not appropriate anymore. Be responsible in gambling, as much as possible better to let no one knows about your activities to avoid situation like this.

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

If you have to hide things from your spouse, you probably married the wrong woman or man IMO. If you want to go gamble now and then you shouldn't have to hide it. Losing a large amount once or twice and trying to hide it to avoid the argument is another thing though. You probably need to go talk with a professional about your gambling habit if you cannot control yourself.

[ethereumhunter]

When greed comes, it can make us forget that we are already having fun playing gambling, so we must stop. But we don't stop but keep playing and even that can make us spend the money we have. And if they do steal their family's money, there is a possibility that they already have a gambling addiction that they are not aware of because all they can think about is gambling. And if they harm themselves and their families, as you say, they have such a severe gambling addiction that it will be difficult to cure.

At least you've got your wife on your back and she's there to monitor you if you're doing good or not. She just want to moderate you from gambling and that's typical with wives that's concern to their husbands.

Just like to the friend of OP, it's needed to give that ultimatum or else that guy won't stop and will continue to hide things from her.

[Zilon]

Gambling becomes a concern to loved ones when we spend so much time and resource gambling and maybe because no one knows i am a gambler, it hasn't brought any form of threat to me. Wives are jealous creatures and the don't want any thing or person that will share their spouse time and resource with them, i feel that is exactly what most addicts face when the abuse the fun, they get threatened by any available means so they can stop or become responsible with their passion.

you should at least thank your wife because she tried to get you out of the gambling addiction that could eventually destroy your family. and it seems you are also lucky to have a wife who still gives you the freedom to be able to gamble even if it's only one bet but in my opinion it's okay.
but I think the hope your wife has is for you to stop gambling once and for all.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Things like gambling are not what should be kept away from spouse because you can't hide it forever just like smoking, one day you will be caught. It is better talked about before it gets exposed just like a thief will be exposed, caught or killed one day if they don't stop the act like your friend that foolishly saved his password in a browser. Having something to threaten you means you are not doing the right thing, no matter how a woman may dislike the attitude of the husband, a gambling habit should be opened because it involves huge losses and wins that can disorganize the home. Your friend is obviously an addict and not smart. He needs help from professional counsellors.

Isn't that good ?

If someone is able to quit gambling whether willing or by getting threatened, in both case it's better for the individual himself.
It's not the women's fault and anybody would do the same. Why should one hide things from their partner especially when money is involved.
If you think from the women's perspective then she could have saved that money for their family or bought things in need.
It is obvious for her to get mad and threaten the husband.

Gambling can bring you fortune and misfortune depending on how you will utilize it to your advantage. If you are disciplined and you will only gamble when you can afford it and stop when you no longer can't will have a great impact on your routine and the habits that you build overtime. If you want to just chill and relax without experiencing the negative side of gambling, then you must also do your very best to avoid endangering yourself from excessive gambling. Refrain from overspending money and your time in gambling. Indeed, it is important to be controlled and it should not just be disregarded to get the most out of it.

I absolutely agree with you. I sincerely don't understand such people. We all want to be in the comfort zone and have complete trust when starting our own family, but for some reason many people prefer to be in a constant state of tension because they need to hide things from their wives. Not only does my wife know that I gamble, she knows the passwords on my laptop and smartphone and even the sid-phrase from my Ledger. She's someone I trust completely and I want her to have everything I have if anything happens to me. If at some point we lose our trust then we have to break up, because without trust people become strangers.

[QueenVera]

We Have to understand  that gambling is a choice and people no matter the relationships should learn how to respect the choices of others and not making some threats because of the choice of what I love.
The best well to help assist someone especially  when we notice that they're going out of hand in gambling is simply calling them to order and not really doing so with some threats and I'm on this opinion  because I've been threatened  on several occasions with regards to gambling especially  by siblings and it make me feel very uncomfortable  discussing  anything related to gambling with them.
People have to understand  that gambling is a choice and people ought to respect people's  choices regardless what how ugly the choices might look.

I believe that threats do not lead to anything good, and threats from the closest people are likely to lead to further conflicts, as bad situations remain in a person's memory for a long time. Certainly we should help people who have got addicted to games of chance but it is better to do it through experts as it is necessary to understand psychology or it is possible not to help the person but to make only worse.

Too bad he was never honest to his wife in the first place. If only he’s transparent about his gambling activities, I guess threatening will never happen. That’s the reason why I want to avoid being secretive from my wife because no matter how we hide from them, there will really come a time that we will still be caught and might even ruin the relationship. Luckily, my wife was also considerate with how I often spend money on gambling. At least, he knows that I am a gambler in the first place.

Everything should really be in balance on which it is really that something which is really that's important on whatever you are dealing with.We know that each person does have it own taking when it comes to gambling.There are one's who could really make out decisions on which you would really be able to tell which one is viable and which one is really that sensible to be done.
If you do come into a point on which your wife is already threatening that you would really be having that divorce if you can't able to quit up gambling then it would really be you choice on which ones you would be choosing.

If you can afford on losing your wife then go with this option and if not  then you should stop gambling for good
We are really would really be ending up with this condition of we aren't that sensible in our actions on which it would really be just normal that you would really be having this kind of approach.

[STT]

If its your money I cant see why'd it be a problem, situation there is the marriage is shared finances.   I dont know about the threat but its quite possible the wife is reasonable in mentioning its too much money, the heavy handed ultimatum is really unfortunate way to discuss anything with anyone.   I'd certainly half  or more the amounts gambled if its threatening security of a relationship, or just stopping for some months if you cant stop obviously that'd be more of a concern.  I do think its unreasonable to never allow someone to play, also the snooping is pretty awful also.

Your wife is doing a good job because gamblers don't make good husband and fathers unless they're winning always and majority of gamblers aren't winning always for them to have enough money to spoil their wife and children instead they're taking from them.

Some gamblers are so addicted that only a threat can save them from been destroyed due to gambling addiction. For example, if the wife threaten to divorce him if he doesn't stop gambling since it's destroying the family, the man might reconsider his decisions.

I have heard of stories when families go broke because of the husband gambling addictions. If been gentle doesn't work then the wife or relations can try threatening the man so he rethinks his bad habit. Others shouldn't suffer for our poor decisions.

[rhomelmabini]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Yes but with a different issue and not gambling. Well, this is a bit complicated especially if you're too attached but if threatened I think the best thing in this situation is to assess first then decide after. After all it's just a talk between you two and wok things out, yeah you could not tell about your winnings or loss but if you can still provide to the family, what's the problem with that?

I don't think your friend is an idiot because the wife found out his logging details and enter his betting profile, but in marriage; that is how it work for some people, they don't hide things much from each other. I also think the wife was right to be manipulative to caution him with betting because how will you gambling with losses and don't think that you have family that are looking up to you, it is not a do or die affair but the wife went too far about ending the marriage but somehow, I like how the wife has help him fight that loss he has been acummulating, a day will come that you will want to cry when you check your bet history, always put precaution and caution rule on gambling addiction.

[SirLancelot]

Totally stupid and doesnt make really sense if you would really be choosing gambling than with your wife but actually there are people who does have that extreme addiction would really be doing those
decisions which it isnt really something that a right minded person would really be able to do so. There are really fellas who would really be choosing up things which they do really seem that it makes them happy and make out those shit and nonsense kind of selection.On the time that you would really get caught on spending something on which your wife isnt really that able to know then of course they would really be having those common reactions.

If you cant afford on losing your wife then you would definitely quit up gambling but if you do then you would continue, but who would really be on their right minds on doing so?
You cant really just go with gambling and lose your wife, thats the stupidest thing to be done by a human being.

Luckily this friend of the OP still has some awareness because believe it or not there are a handful of people who can do that and indeed they are a bunch of idiots who choose gambling over their closest people but in this case it still really exists even though only a handful of people do do that but cases like this can still happen.
Quitting gambling is not as easy as turning your palm but this can still be done but of course this clearly takes time and support from all parties, especially the closest family.

Leaving gambling might not be easy if one has already become addicted to it but it obviously is easier than leaving your spouse unless it is a forced marriage or engagement that the person who is gambling doesn't really care about, in this case, they will most probably prefer gambling over their relationship because gambling will obviously be more beloved for them than their partner.

But that is a very rare scenario and it barely happens where a husband or a wife doesn't actually love or like their partner to the extent that they can easily leave them for something that is temporary while a relationship like marriage is supposed to be for a lifetime.

Yes it is, having that kind of circle will help you get through with it. Right circle will be there for you only if they still have the awareness and they are not addicted to gambling as well even they gamble . It is hard for a friend to understand if he did not know how to gamble or doesn't know the feeling to gamble and have fun with it.We can have always learn to be a right friend to a friend especially if we feel that they are slowly get addicted to it,we can help them as well as professional help needed.

However, to get away from gambling completely is a very difficult thing, so in this case apart from the intention and determination for the gambler who wants to stop, of course there must be support from those closest to him.
Reflecting on this, the choice to be married or to go as a gambler is clearly a very tough choice, it's just that when you take a stand and the wife of a friend from OP wants to help, it can still be done even though it will take time and not all gambling can released at once but it will change for the better.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Even unto this day, my wife does not know I gamble, have never told her and I will never tell her also, simply because knowing the kind of woman I have as my lovely wife, even without me loosing so much, she would still tell me to stop gambling, simply because I feel she doesnt like it, probably due to religious sentiments or so..

But then again, I will always choose my wife and family over gambling, like I said sometime before on another thread.

The environment and the closest people are indeed important so that the addicted gambler can change slowly. Gambling really cannot be stopped immediately, it takes several processes or a reduction in activity for gambling.
don't associate with people who gamble so you don't join in gambling, and vice versa associating with people who don't gamble will help you stop gambling slowly. However, if you are addicted it will be a tough task, because when a day without gambling they are like crazy and stressed.
Gambling should be done properly, treated as entertainment and using a minimal allocation of funds. I just do some gambling for entertainment and spare time only, nothing more than that.

But then again, I will always choose my wife and family over gambling, like I said sometime before on another thread.

Yes, normally, that's a wise decision to make. When you love your family, you will need to be wise in doing things that, if they find out, will make them feel hot or disappointed. I know it doesn't work for me, though. But well, I still don't dispute the fact that love is supposed to be treated with respect, loyalty, obedience, and many other things.

Just like the guy who won thousands of dollars in gambling but the dad refused to collect the money, possibly the man would have taken the money if he was not told that it came from gambling. Knowing what our family members (children, wife, dad, and mom) don't like, we should respect it.

as we have different principles in life, what we can do is respect one another especially our loved ones. so it is a matter of how you look at your life here. are you willing to follow your desires in gambling or follow what your loved ones are begging you to do?
i've read that story of the man whose dad didn't accept such winnings. if he didn't tell that it came from gambling and just show enough money, not all the winnings, will the man accept such money? i believe, he will. so it is up to you how you will handle yourself when it comes to gambling. so long you can contain yourself and not affecting your personal relationships to the people you are closed to, then do whatever you think is best for you.

[Nothingtodo]

Of course my father always told me to stay away from gambling and he is generally very serious about religion, as gambling is prohibited in every religion, my father always told me to stay away from gambling completely with faith in religion. But I try to stop myself from gambling as my father said.

[lienfaye]

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Is your friend working? Because if he is, I don't think it's an issue to be a gambler, as long as he can provide the needs of his family. His mistake is, he's not open to his wife and chose to keep his gambling activity and worse he had the chance to win huge but didn't tell anything. It's important in a relationship that you're open to each other, because you already have a better half so every decision that you'll made (as a sign of respect) your husband/wife must be aware of it.

Fortunately I am not threaten yet by anyone because of gambling. But in the past even I have a history of being a compulsive gambler, i'm the one who decided to stop playing and not because i'm threaten. My family just supported me until I overcome that chapter.

[Chikito]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

It is a bit funny if today I find someone still controlling our life. But, for gambling maybe this is a bit especially if concerning about money, with exceptions if we live with our family (Still concerned with parent and wife). As children, we have to listen to the advice of our parents, and as husbands, we have also concerns about our family. If gambling makes you messy and spends a lot of money, better to try going to a psychologist to treat it.

Family is more important than others, if you want to gamble, use money not from salary. I have a family (children and wife), but for gamble, I use money from the signature campaign, not from my main job salary. If lost, then I must wait a week, this is a good threatened for discipline.

Lol, you're lying.

If gambling is prohibited in your country and your father told you to stay away from gambling completely, you will not join a signature campaign related with gambling which you need to post about gambling due to requirements of the campaign.

You've applied a gambling campaign before, that's contradict what you're currently saying.

I've always had one notion, "No one should make you feel less of yourself or change your own ideology," this is as long as it's not hurting you. I made that revelation because I read a lot about friends and family on the gambling section trying to make people believe in their way or let them think they can only be right following their path and ideology. I beg to disagree in a strong term, everyone should do what makes them happen, but such must be what is noticeably seen as positive to you, not negative.

As for gambling, so long as it doesn't control me and I didn't lose my money, I am good to go. Even with the way I live my life, no family or friend has the right to question me about my private life. Maybe those guys are still kids.

[ethereumhunter]

You should feel lucky to have a father who cares about you and always reminds you to avoid gambling. And I hope you always remember his messages and don't let him down. And I see you want to stop yourself from gambling which is a good move because not many gamblers say that. Maybe they say that but don't want to do it yet. And to stop gambling is not from a threat but from self-awareness that wants to stop and leave gambling.

LOL, although it may not control you, but you still lose money when you don't win your bet. Yea, no one has the right to question how we live our life. even the people who keep their gambling habits away from their family are not kids, like you said, but if you care about someone or love the person so much, I bet you might not abstain from gambling, but you might want to keep it a private or secret thing for yourself so that it doesn't have to affect the emotional life of your partner. But someone like myself, anybody around me will get to like what I like, and vice versa, else, we can't vibe so well.

There are many cases, like you said, where the husband ignores the threats that come to him and only plays gambling because gambling cannot be separated from him. And after some time, the family was threatened with separation and finally, it really happened while the husband and wife often fought. Their children became a broken home. And their children, because they often see their parents fight, eventually become unstable and often make trouble outside the home. That is why a gambler must really pay attention so that he does not become addicted to gambling so that it does not cause serious problems for his family.

Because the biggest bad impact of a gambling addict is the family after that, then the social environment in which he lives.
Yes, it's a shame that there are so many broken families that really can't be repaired just because of the impact of a husband who became a gambling addict, especially as you said that a child affected by a broken home becomes out of control and often causes trouble outside home just to be able to vent what he felt on his family.
The head of the household should be able to think more clearly and defend his family, but after all, everyone's thoughts and perceptions are different so we can only take lessons and shake our heads when we hear of cases like this.

I just look at the events around me because so many families have been torn apart due to uncontrolled gambling. None of this should have happened and if the head of the household doesn't play gambling or leaves before it's too late, they might still have a chance to improve their lives.

These are all valuable lessons for us to learn and avoid so that our families are not adversely affected by gambling, especially if they become addicted. We have to think about our children's future and prepare everything for them even though they will still have to try as we do. At least we have helped them to be able to get a much better life than us.

There are those who can repair and reunite broken families, but there are also some who do not care about their families so they prefer to stick to their goals in gambling.
This actually depends on each individual whether they still have responsibilities as the head of the household or not.

Yes family and a decent life is everyone's wish so we must be able to prioritize family over gambling.
Maybe some people rely on gambling as their source of income to support their family, such as working as a casino team, but this is what they work for, not gambling.

[Japinat]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Yes but with a different issue and not gambling. Well, this is a bit complicated especially if you're too attached but if threatened I think the best thing in this situation is to assess first then decide after. After all it's just a talk between you two and wok things out, yeah you could not tell about your winnings or loss but if you can still provide to the family, what's the problem with that?

It's important to talk about this things especially if you're partner thinks the opposite way and seeing gambling as a way to only waste resources rather than using it in a more useful things, this scenario is quite common since then. So it is really important to make sure that they understand the things you do, it doesn't really matter if you're losing or winning, it's all about being transparent with each other as surely you don't want to be in their shoes. After all, if the needs are being met every single day and week, then I'm inclined that they will understand it rather than make you avoid such things.

In worst case scenario they will do that so that a gambler will stop because he was threatened but it will only be applicable if he value that person who threaten him or he is afraid because of that. But the thing is we don't need to get to this point because we are too focus and addicted to gambling, we should have a normal life and don't think gambling too much.

[BitcoinAccepted]

How can you be forced to stop gambling? I think it's just the opposite and people want you to keep gambling. A player sooner or later always goes into the gambling ship with the result that you run out of your bank balance. Things like that are only a matter of time, that's a proven fact for many years. But of course casino does not like it when they are dealing with a player who wins a lot of money, in that case they could give some kind of indorect stop ban by lowering the limits so that it is no longer interesting for a player to play. gamble. You can still see that happening.

[romero121]

Its common that every people have an inner fear when his/her close one is addicted to gambling or he had turned bad gambling beyond his ability. At such situation the gambler should realise his mistakes and try to be responsible supporting the family. This is where gambling is stated as the reason for the people(close ones) to take such decisions.

Proper awareness and the guidance seems to be the right way to make these kind of people understand the consequences of gambling. Rehabilitation centres play big role and governments need to fund it good to make changes among addicted people's lives.

[Russlenat]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

If you have to hide things from your spouse, you probably married the wrong woman or man IMO. If you want to go gamble now and then you shouldn't have to hide it. Losing a large amount once or twice and trying to hide it to avoid the argument is another thing though. You probably need to go talk with a professional about your gambling habit if you cannot control yourself.

Probably that could be a reason too as some partners in life have set their negative mindset on gambling and things that will trigger it will only worsen the situation. That’s why being transparent to each other is always essential. Especially in gambling wherein that could totally lose your right mindset and thinking if you become addicted in gambling. However, threatening your partner is not the best solution. Resolve the problem by talking about it first before you jump into another heavy decision in life.

[BitcoinAccepted]

You don't even have to force or trick many people to stop gambling. I think everyone considers quitting or voluntarily quitting gambling at one time or another. But how long will that last? Often not for a very long time of course. We always get a moment when the weather starts to tickle and just then that's the moment when things go gamble again. So a gambler will start gambling again in 99% of the gambler population sooner or later.

Seeing someone close spiraling down the rabbit hole of gambling addiction is as distressing as watching your favorite team lose the finals. The sense of powerlessness can be overwhelming.

Encouraging them to own up to their predicament is akin to persuading a cat to take a bath. It's hard, but not impossible. However, merely recognizing the problem is like owning a Ferrari with no gas. It won't get you anywhere.

Rehabilitation centers are indeed significant, and government funding can turbocharge their efforts. Yet, it's critical not to ignore the role of personal responsibility and the influence of supportive circles. Because sometimes, even the best lifeboats need a helping hand to pull someone aboard, right?

Dont put up yourself into a situation on which you would really be losing your wife or breaking your entire marriage just because you didnt make yourself transparent or having that being honest with your partner because we know that trust is really the main foundation if we do speak about strong and long lasting relationship then it would really be the main ingredients on achieving so but if one of the other side will really be that secretive then it would really be starting out that kind of problem which might really be sparking soon or on the time that it would be busted up.

Well, this isnt really just talking about men but also to women or wives too on which there are things which really might be kept out from his husband or whatsover.
We know that once secrets been revealed and the other side is really that being blind for too long, then whats next? We do know that there would really be already that trust
issues on which it isnt really something that cant be forgotten. If its been that resolved out but that trust isnt 100% anymore. Trust me, ive been there.

all my life, only my parents could threaten me to stop gambling even though in the end I returned to gambling after previously making promises to my parents

Over time, I have become more and more convinced that it is we ourselves who can change and direct our lives, as long as we can control our gambling habits then why should we stop gambling!!

If it ever reaches the point that these sort of threats happen, then you probably need to take a serious look and re-evaluate whether you have a problem. It is very easy to go into a state of denial and try to hide from these things, especially if you have dug yourself a big whole and wasted a lot of money. Some people pretend they are experts, only ever looking back at their previous wins and totally ignoring the many losses in between. If you think you are a genuine winner, then you should be recording all your results in a spreadsheet and over time it will tell you whether you really are successful. If you have to keep depositing money on a consistent basis then you are likely in the long term loser category.

[SirLancelot]

Of course my father always told me to stay away from gambling and he is generally very serious about religion, as gambling is prohibited in every religion, my father always told me to stay away from gambling completely with faith in religion. But I try to stop myself from gambling as my father said.

Lol, you're lying.

If gambling is prohibited in your country and your father told you to stay away from gambling completely, you will not join a signature campaign related with gambling which you need to post about gambling due to requirements of the campaign.

You are not making much sense. He said that his father is religious and gambling is prohibited in their religion and not in their country. How does religion have anything to do with where you live? There are people from different religious beliefs living in the USA, but is gambling prohibited there? No, it is not, so if a Muslim father prohibits his son to avoid gambling because it's prohibited (Haram) is their religion, it doesn't mean they can't do it from a legal point of view.

Similarly, his being in a gambling-related signature campaign has nothing to do with him being a gambler or not. Does a signature campaign manager ask you if you are a gambler or not before accepting you? No, they don't, all they need is your posts and you don't need to be a gambler to be in a gambling-related signature campaign.

He did say "try" so I guess he is not fully devoted to the religion that his father believes. Maybe they have different religions. It happens, me and my father have different religions but we are both Christians. Different group though. One Catholic and the other Jehova's Witnesses. But in terms of gambling, my father loved cockfighting so in my case there's no sense if he tells me to stop gambling or avoid it.  That won't be right because I will just spit it back to him.
In our family, (mother's side) there's no gambling addict and discipline had been thought when it comes to playing cards with money on the line, we cannot go as far as $1 per game, just pennies and dimes converted in our currency. The threat will be a belt hit in our back if ever we are caught gambling with large amounts. I carried that discipline up until now and I don't go as far as $100 per bet which I am okay with. Responsible gambling starts with the gambler himself.

We easily don't understand them because we are eaten our pride and just want to continue the game. For sure all of us experience this and luckily we get out near addicting stage which for sure we can't handle if this continues. But for sure thru experience all of those people experiencing that way can realize that they are doing a bad decisions in life so maybe later on they listen to their love ones about their suggestion and minimize their gambling habbits.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

    -    The only thing that makes your friend wonder is why he didn't tell his wife that he won big gambling? I only gamble once in a while but there are times when I win gambling around 100$-200$ I tell my wife, and then I stop and my wife doesn't get mad at me.

Because my wife knows that I don't win very often, she also knows that when I play gambling online here in crypto, I only have a limit of 30$ and when this amount is used up, I stop. really me.

[Doan9269]

So a gambler will start gambling again in 99% of the gambler population sooner or later.

What makes people to stop gambling fast is when they gave voluntarily made the decision to quit, forcing someone to stop gambling is not as easy as expected especially when dealing with an adult who is already addicted to it, but making thiis can actually to made on children because they are still under parental control, gambling is what gives some people the joy and that happiness they would have wanted to get for the day after being engaged on the busy schedules and activities of the day, some get relieved through gambling while some gambling in such a way that discourages others from gambling which is the reason why force stop in gambling may be required in such situations.

quitting gambling or voluntarily curing addiction is very easy as long as the person's mindset is always positive about achieving better life goals. many gamblers who stop gambling voluntarily without coercing anyone and to this day they still do not return to gambling and are successful with their business after stopping gambling.
all of that is actually very easy for gambling addicts who have the mindset to get better and develop in the future. there is no difficulty as long as they have great determination.
so a gambling addict who wants to stop usually he will never be tempted by gambling and will never come back again even though any situation compels them to gamble they will still avoid it by sticking to the commitments he has formed while staying away from addiction.

Playing honestly will be very good especially for the wife, because it will make us calmer in gambling, you are very consistent if you spend $ 30 and stop when you have reached it, just like what I am doing now limiting my betting money every time I play gambling , I am not a gambler who is active every day sometimes gamble only on weekends but even then don't spend more than $ 20.

Starting from honesty will keep us from the brink of collapse whether it's losing our family or money, when our wife knows that we are gambling, of course she will control ourselves when we are complacent in the game so she can stop herself in the game. to be honest, not many people do this method, but it is very important for our wives and families to know that we often play gambling.

That's an interesting point, I agree that most gamblers think about quiting at least once during their casino career. Especially after a big loss it's natural to think about if it really was necessary to water so much money which lead to our downfall. But these are usually only thoughts coming from grief of the lost money and are not going to last. Eventually most of us come back to the tables and enjoy the excitement of gambling again. The main question is now if through external factors we could really stop gambling forever or if this is only going to be a short break. I remember reading about addiction treatments that if the patient is not believing in the cause than it's not going to work. The first step should always be to make sure that someone believes in the cause. Threatening someone is not a rational choice as it won't convince him to follow it longterm. Also living in fear is not a healthy way for a relationship.

You don't even have to force or trick many people to stop gambling. I think everyone considers quitting or voluntarily quitting gambling at one time or another. But how long will that last? Often not for a very long time of course. We always get a moment when the weather starts to tickle and just then that's the moment when things go gamble again. So a gambler will start gambling again in 99% of the gambler population sooner or later.

That's an interesting point, I agree that most gamblers think about quiting at least once during their casino career. Especially after a big loss it's natural to think about if it really was necessary to water so much money which lead to our downfall. But these are usually only thoughts coming from grief of the lost money and are not going to last. Eventually most of us come back to the tables and enjoy the excitement of gambling again. The main question is now if through external factors we could really stop gambling forever or if this is only going to be a short break. I remember reading about addiction treatments that if the patient is not believing in the cause than it's not going to work. The first step should always be to make sure that someone believes in the cause. Threatening someone is not a rational choice as it won't convince him to follow it longterm. Also living in fear is not a healthy way for a relationship.

this is where will power and sheer determination come into action. if you do want to quit and change for the better, you need to exercise those traits to break off your habit. you need to remind yourself the very reason why you need to quit. so you would have a strong motivation to keep up with your promise to yourself. without such reason, would be hard to follow the change of lifestyle. you will always go back to square one if you don't have such strong desire to change for the betterment of yourself.

The key word is control, if you can control yourself yeah there is no need to be controlled by someone else. Some people think it is easy to get rid the gambling addiction but in reality, gambling addiction can be so dangerous when you don't take it seriously. The more we play the more dopamine brings addictions in our brain cells, IMO.

I agree with what you said, the more often we play gambling, the more often it will lead us into addiction, but if from the start we have good self-defense then we can avoid severe addiction

in essence, we must often train our minds and think Gambling is entertainment, not the best way to make money

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

all my life, only my parents could threaten me to stop gambling even though in the end I returned to gambling after previously making promises to my parents

Over time, I have become more and more convinced that it is we ourselves who can change and direct our lives, as long as we can control our gambling habits then why should we stop gambling!!

I mean, if intervention was necessary to even have you consider stopping from gambling, then maybe something is really wrong with you, and I would've wished you did something in the past that will make sure you don't get back to gambling again but at the very least you knew the error of your ways and are now (I hope) making sure that you gamble responsibly, if not discontinue gambling at all. Realization is the first step towards successfully changing yourself, it's not necessarily going to be the definition of your success cause it's a long way from that but at the very least you got there already.

Let this be known, that if your spouse/relatives are already concerned about your gambling habits, then it most likely is really somethign that is dire no matter how much you downplay it. Have yourself checked and stop gambling altogether. Save yourself and the people around you the trouble of losing a valuable person from gambling addiction.

People would really be making out those realizations on the time that they would really be experiencing those bad experiences that they havent able to experience before or consequences. If you are really that serious on quitting then you should stick into that and you do really need that extreme self control and discipline because we know that once addiction would kick in then its really that hard to resist out if you do still
see those things around which is something that you should really be avoid as much as you could. Affecting out your family relationship is something that already one of the con's when dealing with
gambling that much. Dont really come into a point that you would really be breaking your family just because of too much addiction. You should really be that mindful about
your gambling activity that everything should really be proper and moderate way.

Have I ever been threatened to stop gambling? No I would say probably not. If I had, you would think I remember it.

The problems that gambling addiction can bring were never really imposed on me. Perhaps I have a gambling addiction, perhaps not. But since nobody has made an effort to stop me from gambling or telling me that there is any problem, I would have to suppose that I am fine.

Of course that does not mean that the people around me enjoy seeing me gamble. Those who oppose those kinds of things will always try to warn or dissuade you from them. But that has more to do with their beliefs and norms rather than your gambling habits.

It's fine, I've learnt to let family issues be theirs, finally the know best how to settle their differences and you who tries to interfere may become an enemy to them.

I found gambling to be more easier when you are single and not married than when you are married and have some responsibility because you will need to be more extra careful if you are a married man so that you won't end up breaking your home or losing your wife in the process, even if you are a multi-millionaire gambling can turn you into a poor person if care is not taken.

As a married man you now have some responsibility to take care of, so you can't use all your spare money for gambling, every spare money is useful for a married man because of responsibility, so even if you can make some extra income, you will still need to divide that into two and use the a part for gambling and the other for an emergency fee, just in case.

This should be the way of a married man or should I say a responsible married man? and as a responsible married man, you have to limit your gambling every week,. There is a possibility of losing more money because you can easily be distracted, when you're married there will be a lot of things in your head and as a distracted gambler,  you lose more than a focus gambler.

We all know this, that our love ones just truly care for us but most of the time we can't be understood the way we wanted to be understood.
If you are gambling lavishly while letting your family taken for granted, you really need to stop. Have a life. Don't let gambling be your life. Have a job and provide for your family. Gambling is not a stable income. Don't let it determine how you treat the people around you.

If winning big in gambling requires you to lose your family, is that truly a win? Think of it.

We know excess of everything is bad that will cause problems. If someone is addicted to gambling and spends more time without his family then his family bond will be destroyed. Because a person cannot live without family. A gambler must give first priority to his family or loved ones. OP shared the story of the friend whose beloved lost her faith on him. The person may did not want to share the gambling issue with anyone. But when his wife finds out about his gambling, her faith reduce. The gambler must give time to the family as well as not spend money on gambling that destroy family bond.

In my own experience, I've found that keeping my partner informed about my gambling habits has helped to build trust and understanding between us. Even if the amounts being played with are small, it's important to keep your partner informed about your gambling, as well as other financial matters. This helps to avoid any misunderstandings or surprises down the line. Having a clear system of income and expenses is also a great way to ensure that everyone is on the same page. It helps to create a sense of accountability and responsibility for both partners, which can only be a good thing.

Yes this is important for every relationships. We must tell everything that we are planning to do to our partner because this helps to build trust although sometimes there are partners that won't let their partner to play gambling.

We should obey it if we truly love them. There are still other alternatives out there which are also fun and profitable just like gambling and I am sure some of them will be alright for our partners. For most partners, gambling with small amount has never been an issue but they will only get angry if you gamble huge because they think it will cause a problem to you later on and will possibly affect your relationships.

It is always better to tell to the partner or if you are smart enough to just play sport bets as that does not need a lot of effort to be hiding,you place bets on your teams and then let the games run,check tomorrow the results to not give reason for any suspicion from your partner.You can never hide gambling activity though when you play slots and other games.

He is spending so much money that his wife is unawared of and they are already married, even if they aren't having any financial issue right now she should also be aware of what is happening to her partners life.
She might just be scared that her husband could be addicted to gambling and might ruin their relationship and life.
It might not really be about the big profit that your friend won in the past but the fact that he was gambling with a lot of money behind her back.

Even if he isn't neglecting her financial needs and fulfills every single requirement and even provides her with the best that is possible, being his life partner, she still has all the right to know what he is doing on her back and if he lies or hides something from her and she finds out about it herself, such a reaction is reasonable, I would say that she reacted pretty leniently and some wives would go way harder than just a threat.

One should imagine being in her shoes and then thinking how they would react to find out that their partner has been hiding something this big from them all this time and even at the end, he didn't tell her himself but she found out about it herself.

I don't blame the woman for acting that way because that is exactly what every good woman who loves his husband will do after she have noticed he is spending more time on gambling than the family and losing more money that ought to have been used for the upkeep of the family on gambling. Because to me, it's only been once that someone have asked me to stop gambling, and that was my girlfriend years back after she noticed a change in my gambling habit as I was so desperate to for money, and that led me to lose control over my little money simply because I was hoping for more, and at first I didn't take her serious, but it was later I had a rethink to now reduce how much time I now spend on gambling.

I very much agree with this.

There's no sense in hiding the truth because eventually, it will come out. It's much better to tell directly to your partner that you want to gamble or you are gambling and at the same time, give an assurance that you will not gamble excessively to the point wherein you will compromise your quality time and your finances. It is always better to communicate especially if your partner is open to the idea of other recreational activities for you to relax and to earn instead of lying and then losing the trust the moment he or she finds out about it.

And of course, be sure to stand on your principles and to those things that you said to prove yourself worthy of the trust and the permission to gamble. Betrayal is painful, so don't ever think about not doing what you uttered. Do everything in moderation and responsibly.

A good woman will certainly be able to take care of her household well too but that depends on the attitude of her husband. If the husband can listen to the advice of his wife and start changing for the better, it will change his family life for the better. But if her husband instead spends his time gambling, it will not be good for the family. And even though her husband can get a big win, it seems like it won't be worth it if the husband doesn't share the winning money with his wife. And if his wife asks her husband to stop or reduce his gambling time, the husband should be able to obey his wife because it is for the good of himself and his family.

Yes, I agree.

We might be not on their shoes but it is surely understandable why the wife would be acting like that, they sure just want us to be in a safe space and away from such things that could potentially ruin the whole family, the marriage and even their financial stability even if they are still comfortable at the moment. Sooner or later, without a guide or should I say without the wife's unwanted repetitive words, we might get ourselves into a situation where it's already too late to go back. Anyway, just try to be transparent of everything that is going on with your life, be it a good or bad.

The more we play the more dopamine brings addictions in our brain cells, IMO.

I also agree with what you say, because if a person cannot control himself it is impossible for him to set an example. I have seen many heads of families, men who have their wife and children and suddenly lose control not because of another woman but because of the casino game, because they have losing streaks and start betting more than they should and when they start to see they put their family support money at risk, that's when the addiction comes in, the loss of control and that's why I also second what you say, control is everything when it comes to casino games.

Our major concern should be to provide for our family, which means we should look for a decent a secondary source of income, and I don't propose gambling because it's too risky and not completely reliable. Gambling is a personal decision, but when pushed to an extreme, it reveals the bad traits, depleting all personal and life savings. Of course, no one will threaten you for your money; each individual knows what is best for himself or herself. Gambling is not a good way to go; I've been there, and believe me when I tell it will deplete one's life savings if not controlled and understood on time.

[mamesso]

The wife or girlfriend must be realistic about the gambling activities carried out by their partner, when they prohibit their partner from gambling, they also do not need to demand anything from their winnings. Hiding gambling activity from wife or girlfriend right of a husband, as long as the household needs are sufficient and the wife's maintenance costs are not lacking, the wife does not need to intervene with her husband in something that the husband does.
It needs a turning point from everything you said at the beginning of the topic, it must be traced to their financial condition while their husband were gambling. Financial health in the household is the responsibility of the husband, if all of that has been fulfilled, the husband can do anything to entertain himself after feeling tired at work.

If it is the case that a gambler gambles regularly and there is no shortage of household expenses and planning then I think it is better not to inform the wife about gambling. When one discloses his gambling to his wife, he may face various hurdles. The gambler will not be able to handle gambling comfortably even if his wife is smiling when he wins but both will suffer from depression when he loses. Every gambler should give some time to family otherwise there may be turmoil in the family. If a gambler is gambling all the time then it cannot be called gambling rather it becomes addiction.

It is obvious that your friend is at fault over this, after all every purchase no matter how small needs to be approved by both parties precisely to avoid that kind of resentment and suspicions he is now being subjected to.

And when we add that the amount of money seems to be on the high side then this gave greater weight to the argument of his wife, personally I have not been subjected to this kind of ultimatum but that is because I do not have that kind of commitment with someone else which could force me to reveal the state of my finances to them.

Gambling actually won't destroy a relationship if you're not addicted to it. If you can still control and use spare money, there should be no problem with that. The problem is when you ignore your partner and think that gambling is far more important than them, that's the problem. That's why responsibility in relationships is important, especially when you are a gambler, between gambling activities and your home life must be balanced.

I don't blame the woman for acting that way because that is exactly what every good woman who loves his husband will do after she have noticed he is spending more time on gambling than the family and losing more money that ought to have been used for the upkeep of the family on gambling. Because to me, it's only been once that someone have asked me to stop gambling, and that was my girlfriend years back after she noticed a change in my gambling habit as I was so desperate to for money, and that led me to lose control over my little money simply because I was hoping for more, and at first I didn't take her serious, but it was later I had a rethink to now reduce how much time I now spend on gambling.

I wish I had someone who had also threatened me when I was at the peak of my gambling addiction but mine was different, I had to learn how to stop it the hard way and I lost of a lot things and like what they alway say experience is the best teacher which I have come to realize the reality of that speech.

In this case the woman is just doing what every reasonable woman would do and thats to scold him and threatened to stop his gambling before it turns out late because the after effect is probably going to be experience by both party.

Gambling is fun and if I marry and get to gamble, I will set out the funds for gambling and it will be with my wife. Whenever I want to fund my gambling account, I will be like "hun it's time to waste money, please fund my account "
Whenever the winning comes, we go on outing immediately and have fun.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

No, rather I have been the one who threatened someone to stop gambling else I will restrain the financial assistance I offer the person

[len01]

Gambling actually won't destroy a relationship if you're not addicted to it. If you can still control and use spare money, there should be no problem with that. The problem is when you ignore your partner and think that gambling is far more important than them, that's the problem. That's why responsibility in relationships is important, especially when you are a gambler, between gambling activities and your home life must be balanced.

if a gambler thinks that gambling is only limited to a game that is only for fun, of course he will not have a problem between gambling and his family, he must be wiser in responding to this problem. because gambling is just temporary entertainment that doesn't need to be a priority but family must be the first priority.

IMO, it's actually quite easy to gamble responsibly. always plan a small budget for gambling. I'm sure this won't interfere with family relationships and the fun of gambling.

How can a wife, girlfriend or parent threaten you to stop gambling if you yourself are always secretive and never tell about the gambling activities that you are doing.
If someone borrows some money from you to gamble then you can threaten him to stop but he doesn't seem like he will listen to the threat and instead goes elsewhere to borrow money.
A gambler who has the courage to borrow money to play capital can be said to be an addict so that he will never listen to threats or advice of any kind.
I am fed up with such a gambler and if my position were you, I would tell him to walk away and say enjoy your stupidity as a gambler until you feel misery.

[QueenVera]

I won't consider this as threatening in any way unless the partner may gain financial benefits from it so its more of guiding the partner who lost his way and at the verge of getting addiction but thank God she found before its get out of their hands.

I would say threating only if someone gambles and have success streak which can be a problem to casino bankroll so they will simply ban the person from playing in the casino anymore and its only possible in offline casino.

I think the partner blew up because she found out that the husband had a huge win in the past and never told her and worst of all is that the losses are now getting out of hand.
So just as op already said, the wife threatened  the husband with marriage and gave him a choice to choose either the marriage  or she which the husband had to choose her and hoping to convince her to see reasons with him and I'm sure that  it will have to be on a term that the husband will give her some path of his winnings.

Whatever the case be, I think God used the wife to safe their marriage and the husband from gambling addiction because it already seems  the husband was getting addicted and was already chasing his losses since their was a huge win in the past and he was so trying g to get back the good old days

Yes this is important for every relationships. We must tell everything that we are planning to do to our partner because this helps to build trust although sometimes there are partners that won't let their partner to play gambling.

We should obey it if we truly love them. There are still other alternatives out there which are also fun and profitable just like gambling and I am sure some of them will be alright for our partners. For most partners, gambling with small amount has never been an issue but they will only get angry if you gamble huge because they think it will cause a problem to you later on and will possibly affect your relationships.

Gambling addict is one of the big challenges a lot of relationship are facing and sometimes it could make people to lose this business and relationship if care is not taken. I have seen different relationships battle to be steady because of the gambling addictions of there partners. It is very important for us not to allowing gambling to affect our relationship because this alone can make things more difficult for us and this rest of our families. We need to work hard to keep our relationship safe from the stress of our own gambling fault.

It is better to take the advise if people advise someone to stop gambling because of this two things:

1. Not everyone that sees you doing the right thing in a wrong way will approach to to correct you, they know you're not on the right track but will either sit and be watching you till you enter a ditch or awaits for the day you will be shamed in the public, but those that walk up to you to correct you are the ones that love you even though it may looks annoying to you.

2. It may not come in a form of threatening to some gamblers while some it may actually be a threat to withdraw, either of the ways, we should known that too much of everything is bad, we can learn from others and also be corrected by anyone as long as we are not doing it the expected ways.

When there is a very important relationship, yes, you have to tell some things, but you also have to have some privacy, I couldn't tell everything, you always have to leave some mystery and that so that you can continue the attraction process, without However, when it comes to gambling, casinos, some women do not see it well, however, some things must remain in suspense, a mystery, women like that too, not being totally deciphered, because for them It would turn into something very boring, especially when it comes to this type of casino stuff.

[dezoel]

The wife or girlfriend must be realistic about the gambling activities carried out by their partner, when they prohibit their partner from gambling, they also do not need to demand anything from their winnings. Hiding gambling activity from wife or girlfriend right of a husband, as long as the household needs are sufficient and the wife's maintenance costs are not lacking, the wife does not need to intervene with her husband in something that the husband does.
It needs a turning point from everything you said at the beginning of the topic, it must be traced to their financial condition while their husband were gambling. Financial health in the household is the responsibility of the husband, if all of that has been fulfilled, the husband can do anything to entertain himself after feeling tired at work.

I know that everyone has the right to do anything to entertain themselves as long as it is not negatively affecting something else directly or indirectly. The husband might have been providing for the family and everything, and his gambling was probably not affecting anything at all until he was caught hiding it from his wife which I find unethical because the relationship between a husband and a wife should be pure and sincere relationship where there should be no space for dishonesty and hiding things like this.

I don't find the wife being wrong in this situation because if the same thing was done by the wife and her husband had discovered later on that his wife has been gambling or has been doing something behind his back without letting him know, I'm sure the reaction would be more severe than of this wife.

[Jody.Drummer]

I wish I had someone who had also threatened me when I was at the peak of my gambling addiction but mine was different, I had to learn how to stop it the hard way and I lost of a lot things and like what they alway say experience is the best teacher which I have come to realize the reality of that speech.

In this case the woman is just doing what every reasonable woman would do and thats to scold him and threatened to stop his gambling before it turns out late because the after effect is probably going to be experience by both party.

I don't know what makes you feel like this has never happened to you and it is your privacy I have no right to dig into it much deeper but when in this case we feel we are alone it is clear that it will be more difficult than imagined .
Even though gambling addiction is sometimes said to be like a disgrace if it is told, but when we are no longer able to hold it in ourselves, it would be better if it is told to the closest person, it can be family or partner, maybe even a comrade. can still be done.
The problem is that many feel that those who are addicted cannot do that just because they think they are capable but in the end they feel they are standing alone in the face of a harsh reality.

While this story has a happy ending, as the husband was able to mend the relationship with his wife and leave gambling behind, it is not rare for a person that is addicted to gambling to ignore those threats, and this leaves the other spouse with a monumental problem, do they make good on their threat or not?

If they refuse to leave then the addicted gambler knows those were empty threats and they will never work on them again, but if the spouse leaves then the addicted gambler could fall even further into addiction, compounding a problem which was already bad to begin with.

There is no need for someone who can threaten us to get out of gambling because that is based on intention. If we intend to stop gambling, we will try it. But sadly, not many gamblers who are addicted to gambling intend to stop gambling even if they receive threats from the people they care about. They may be more concerned with gambling than the people they care about and this is the cause of many families being destroyed because of gambling. The problem of gambling addiction seems to be a serious problem because it is related to many things that might also become other big problems. So maybe what the woman did was right based on her situation and condition.

Any one of us can step out of line without even noticing it. In the case of gambling this can lead to dire consequences. It is necessary to understand that if you are weak in spirit, and not able to control yourself and your gambling, then you are not recommended to gamble without the supervision of a person who can stop you. This can be your spouse, brother or friend, but in my opinion a very important condition is that this person is not keen on gambling in order to soberly assess the situation.

[Negotiation]

I agree it is true that when gamblers borrow money, threats do not help them, it becomes their habit. Therefore being away from these people, good gambling addicts do not hear anything. It is normal for wife and parents to threaten to gamble because nowadays gambling addicts are at risk and destroy everything in their family. But now online gambling is more trending. If you play as a means of entertainment, they will not know anything if you do not tell your family.

[LUCKMCFLY]

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

A good woman will certainly be able to take care of her household well too but that depends on the attitude of her husband. If the husband can listen to the advice of his wife and start changing for the better, it will change his family life for the better. But if her husband instead spends his time gambling, it will not be good for the family. And even though her husband can get a big win, it seems like it won't be worth it if the husband doesn't share the winning money with his wife. And if his wife asks her husband to stop or reduce his gambling time, the husband should be able to obey his wife because it is for the good of himself and his family.

This can happen as long as the couple understands each other and they know what things they can do and with the help of the other, the wife can ask him to stop the game , but the man says no , because it is his means of fun, to be able to de-stress, to spend a different time, and that is acceptable, in every relationship sometimes you need your own space, so this type of thing can happen for better or worse, when there is an established family , for example children , baby , child , you must be the most responsible man and know that if you Play too much and lose things at home will be out of balance and those who will Suffer or the Children, then I think that for them it is worth Controlling yourself.

Wife knows best. 

I was a bit addicted to gambling since my childhood but under my mother's rule I often abstained from gambling. But nowadays with various online casinos and gambling sites, my parents can't stop me from gambling. But one thing is very important because I am very young now and have the ability to control myself. So I don't indulge myself in gambling but my wife makes me this bad in Many times the urge to break out of the habit. However, with my wife's encouragement, I devote very little time to online casinos and gambling. I now stay away from betting only on IPL cricket. But my wife won't let me catch more than one bet every day.

At least you've got your wife on your back and she's there to monitor you if you're doing good or not. She just want to moderate you from gambling and that's typical with wives that's concern to their husbands.

Just like to the friend of OP, it's needed to give that ultimatum or else that guy won't stop and will continue to hide things from her.

True. It’s a good thing that you have your wife with you who’s willing to correct you whenever she sees some irresponsible acts of you. But with OP’s friend, his wife’s decision is already expected since he has been dishonest on her in the first place. And if his wife will tolerate that, he will end up completely addicted in gambling and gambling addiction might only ruin their marriage at the end of the day.

That is the very reason why we should be transparent towards our own wife because if their trust will be broken, it will be very hard for us to keep it again in a stable state and in one place as we already know what can likely happen afterwards after they feel betrayed because their husbands chose to keep certain things behind close doors even if they themselves will be heavily affected once their husbands are addicted because of the gambling. At the very least, they have the right to be informed and know what is happening in our lives as that is our vow.

Is that really threatening? Sounds more like an ultimatum, and she is allowed to do that. I know people that wouldn't watch that kind of behavior at all so divorcing is totally understandable.

I don't know about their monetary arrangement but usually if couple is married, there are joint bank accounts and mutual budget. Any bigger spendings will be planned together as you are living with the same.

Gambling away your family's money is totally unacceptable. I would leave just if i was blatantly lied to. Not to mention gambling away our shared budget.

Has it gotten to this point? How would an addiction be so intensed that he had to be threatened to either choose between his marriage or his addiction? lol 😂
That's abnormal, but you seee, atimes people need to put in hard situations to shape them up... Secondly, his wife ain't even happy about the wins; all she wants is a divorce if he ever tries shiiittt!!, Ever again lol ....

A wife, realistically cannot be happy with the wins of the husband, because in the end the wives can be very aware of the differences between the wins and the losses. In the end, the casino will end up take all the money of the household.

The addicted ones won't notice the losses, but the person who is supposed to keep track of the household economy will realize the amount of money is gone.

[letteredhub]

Women are naturally good managers and that's why in the kitchen they don't allow stuff go to waste. You friend wife after calculating the whole losses together and thinking of what such amount could have provided for the family either for foodstuffs or a nice gown or pairs of shoes to her collection she had to take up the decision on threatening your friend her husband to discontinuing from gambling or face a separattion if he still gonon with it.  I haven't had any situation where I got threatened by any family member or girlfriend on stopping gambling, but even as that I do understand that this situation needs to be handled with some diplomacy where your friend need to save his marriage against gambling because his gambling colleagues would not always be there for him but family would forever be there no matter what.

That is why gamblers who have become heavy addicts are usually abandoned by their partners because they do not want their household money to run out because of the gambling that their husbands are doing, many of my friends are heavy addicts and they have been abandoned by their children and wife, even though they were once threatened, it seems that addicts choose the wrong path namely divorcing his wife and continuing his game on the gambling platform.

There's nothing wrong with threatening but it seems difficult for a heavy addict to realize that he has gone too far in gambling and is very detrimental not only to himself but to his family as well, in fact if our wife finds out it would be even better because she can manage expenses and limit the budget in gambling, sometimes I am honest with my wife so she can control me when I forget myself.

Sometimes it is good for us to listen to women because they can see from afar and know how to help us to make proper plan. Gambling is something that can irritate some persons and this only will make things worse for us if we have friends or woman around us that do not like gambling. If you have a wife that don't it when we gambler because they might be afraid that one can become a gambling addict and it might become very hard to quit if it gets worse, this is why some women would always want to see there men leave gambling and focus on some other things that could give money.

What happens is that if those gamblers cared about their family at all then they would have realized from the beginning that the path they were taking would lead them to leave their family behind.

This is why such threats are hardly effective with an addicted gambler, the fact that it worked with the friend of the OP can only be explained by assuming he was not addicted, he had some problems as he was hiding his gambling activities to his wife, but he was still not on the self-destructive path that gambling addiction entails.

Gambling is something that can irritate some persons and this only will make things worse for us if we have friends or woman around us that do not like gambling. If you have a wife that don't it when we gambler because they might be afraid that one can become a gambling addict and it might become very hard to quit if it gets worse, this is why some women would always want to see there men leave gambling and focus on some other things that could give money. 

I never experienced such before since am not a kid to be corrected for wrongly doing what is right in an abnormal way, most of us created an avenue for them to see many disadvantages in us to take as reason why they should mount and forward their own advice on us to stop gambling, but if we look at our personal lifestyle and experience in gambling we may see no need to this while an urgent need may be applicable to some because of their critical conditions.

When we face a threat as a result of gambling, we are either forced to quit due to the terms and conditions imposed on us, or we elect to stop due to the influence of our peers or partners. One of the most crucial aspects of marriage and finding the appropriate partner is that they tend to encourage and correct us whenever we are on the wrong track, and they do not hesitate to right our wrongs. I constantly pay attention to my wife, she's a cornerstone in my life, and I can't be recalcitrant to her because of gambling, which I know is unquestionably immoral.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Something like this happened to my friend about a year ago. My friend got caught gambling and is in a lot of debt. His wife threatened to ask for a divorce if her husband continued to gamble. Of course my friend didn't have a good choice, he chose to stop gambling and cover his debts from bank loans.

But can my friend 100% stop gambling? Of course not. He still plays occasionally after getting paid from work. He often borrows my card for deposits at gambling sites. If he won, sometimes I was given tip to buy cigarettes. But I also monitor my friend's finances, I don't want to borrow my card if he is going to deposit more than $50

For someone who is a responsible gambler there would be nothing much to tell. Relatives, wife or parents, wouldn't be threatening such a person, because would know that gambling is entertainment for him, and if he's working and making money with his job, he needs some fun too, needs it for relaxation, to do his job better and to earn even more money.

Women are naturally good managers and that's why in the kitchen they don't allow stuff go to waste. You friend wife after calculating the whole losses together and thinking of what such amount could have provided for the family either for foodstuffs or a nice gown or pairs of shoes to her collection she had to take up the decision on threatening your friend her husband to discontinuing from gambling or face a separattion if he still gonon with it.  I haven't had any situation where I got threatened by any family member or girlfriend on stopping gambling, but even as that I do understand that this situation needs to be handled with some diplomacy where your friend need to save his marriage against gambling because his gambling colleagues would not always be there for him but family would forever be there no matter what.

Isn't it fascinating how those nearest to us, armed with a profound awareness of our well-being, often see the long-lasting effects of our choices clearer than we do? Addiction, such as gambling, sends waves affecting not just the individual but those around them. Thus, concern voiced by a loved one is not simply disapproval of gambling, but an empathetic response to a potential hazard.

Rather than seeing this as a restriction, let's consider it as a valuable viewpoint to balance our decisions. This shift can catalyze healthier habits, in gambling and beyond.

I believe it will be good if the man listens to his wife because it will sustain their marriage and for his gambling lifestyle to be a serious concern to his wife that means he plays a lot of gambling which there might be lot of loses which the wife didn't find it good. If he is into gambling too much it is better for him to quit,  because gambling is not a job one has to depend on as a source of income to take care of his family. And who knows if he is gambling with the amounts  that is si high as his income.

Sometimes when women are having much concern about their partner lifestyle it could be that the lifestyle is not bringing any favour but have a bad effect.  I  feel the human is also doing a great job to correct her husband from the part that  may not be really helpful to the man. I am sure if the man was to be playing gambling responsible the wife we did not have any issues with it, but for the wife to hold him at the neck to quit that means the gambling life style is something serious.

When we are already married then we must obey our promises and vous which is when we are saying that we will love our wife till death do as part then we must obey that. And that will happen once we don't have any lying or secrets from our wife. And in gambling once we notice that everytime we gamble we cannot control ourselves to make a way to gamble again.and again. Do we must tell to our wife so that they can help us to control ourselves.

It's best if we tell our wife we have a problem so she can help us think of ways to solve it. Openness in the household is needed so that husbands and wives can help each other if one of them needs help. But often, husbands or wives harbor their problems and don't tell their partners until their partners know the real problem. And there are many cases where after the partner knows the real problem, they both get into fights that can lead to divorce and this has happened a lot everywhere. That's why every time we have a problem, we should immediately tell it to our partner so we can solve it. After all, two heads would be better than one.

This happens if relatives, wife or parents can accept and understand what they have done in gambling because some people really think gambling is a bad activity and are underestimated.
If we are gamblers, we must know that most people do gamble for entertainment and to have fun, unlike those who only understand that gambling is bad.

But threatening someone to stop gambling is not a good thing because gambling is a choice and the more we restrain gamblers, the more difficult it will be for that gambler to be advised.

I don't think the person the OP is referring to is a responsible gambler, if the person is a responsible gambler he wont really have problem with his wife even after she was able to access her husbands phone and she notice that her husband is a gambler. Maybe the are having financial crisis, maybe the husband have been complaining about lack of money, but she was just surprise to see her husband to have wasted lots of money on gambling, definitely her wife will be mad at him, because she believe her husband is wasting money on what those not really worth it.

If the Op is not addicted, i see no reason why he should be hiding it from his wife that he is not a gambler, nothing is bad in gambling but don't just be addicted to gambling.

The essence of all these problems is that openness between families is very important, especially when it comes to serious matters such as gambling addiction, this is a serious problem and for me family is the main key to being able to recover from addiction and stop gambling.

I don't think that the guy mentioned in the OP wasn't responsible and spending everything on gambling, he was a working person and providing well for his family and they never had any issues when it comes to money, but the issue there was that he had hidden the fact that he gambles from his wife for whatever reason, which is what was taken as being offensive and disrespectful or dishonest by the wife and that is why she did this, obviously.

I wouldn't blame both in this situation, because I know that you sometimes need to have your own space and do something that you like to do and have always liked to do and if someone else doesn't let you do that, you will surely do it without telling them, and I also know that if I was in place of that lady and my wife or my husband would have hidden something like that for so long from me, I would get pissed off too.

Yes, only sometimes because there are also times where they are the ones who make mistakes. The situation can change, where we are the ones who will gave them advices. The only way I can feel irritated when gambling is when the moment I am losing and this could become worse when someone scolds me about it. I know it's wrong because those people only care about us.

This why I regret after some time and say sorry to those people. Gambling can also provide us money if we get lucky. My wife is happy when I win in gambling and she is the one that encourages me to play sometimes because of it. So far I'm not addicted to it. Guess that's because she always monitors my condition, so I'm also thankful to my partner.

Usually, these people will give the first priority to gambling and for that, they may spend those funds on gambling which should have been spent on their family, wife, and children. If a person is a moderate gambler and plays for fun only with limited money, no one will objection his hobby but how can a family live with a person who spends everything on gambling and gives no money and benefit to his family?

It's not about treating and managing with an addictive gambler but it is more of a disappointment and hopelessness and eventually leaves a careless person alone forever who has no pain for the family.

Exactly, that's a threat that if the gambler doesn't quit gambling they would leave the person since gambling addiction is not actually good. It doesn't only affect the gambler itself but also the people from it's surrounding like his family. It's like due to gambling they loss at lot of funds to provide for the house or not having enough time for their family since they are gambling for almost 24 hours. For me, if threatening doesn't even work for them for sure they don't love you as they don't care for you but themsleves only

Putting pressure on someone to stop playing is pointless, if the player himself does not want to do this, then this will not happen. There are different situations, sometimes it happens that the family does not have enough money, and the husband still spends money on gambling with the desire to win something, but instead he only loses the last money, in which case, of course, his family will convince him to quit it, but if it's a dependency then it won't be easy to do. If it's for fun and everything is in order with finances, then no one will forbid you to play in your free time.

It can only make things harder for them but they really cannot stop people to gamble even putting pressure on them is useless not unless they Will stop without external people. That's why I didn't tell my family about these things because for sure they will threaten me to stop since I am living in a religious family, also do not show too much love to gambling just play it for fun.

[Bananington]

I haven't been threatened, but I have been warned to stop it and I had to adhere after clear facts were revealed about how much I gamble away than win.
Gambling ain't for everyone. If your failure is more than loss, as a man with wife and kids or expecting kids, it is logical to limit this kinda habit. Yes, one can win big but not everyone is lucky and having a wife is a blessing not curse. She is the better half and though she may not be right all time, when it comes to making losses from gambling when other better investment would yield better secured returns, she is right to test your love.
Women don't like their attention shared, in the sense that you give a hobby that's not rewarding in the long run, much more audience than her.

Pressuring someone to stop playing is not pointless, it is possible if there is no other way but to apply pressure. even so, I agree with what you say. the problem is, if the gambler does not intend to do so. then, it would seem to be a pointless thing. ideally, taking a persuasive approach would be more effective than applying pressure. that way, a person will not experience pressure that could have the opposite effect. after all, it's not an easy matter to break something that has become a habit. at the very least, a person needs another diversion so that the focus is not so much on gambling. through a persuasive approach, plus supported by family will provide better motivation. in fact, not infrequently there will be tension in the family, the environment, if you only apply pressure by force.

Related to the title of this thread, I'm pretty sure we have a lot of stories and experiences to back it up. I guess, this is a common case. ideally, a gambler should ensure that the money he is betting on is not money that has multiple interests. that way, we will avoid the pressure of getting threats from the family. in fact, not infrequently we often threaten ourselves, if we have experienced repeated defeats. and I'm pretty sure, this experience is a very common experience for gamblers.

That is a big problem when you don't tell your family and a religious family will sure not let you continue gambling and they will surely threaten you in the sense that they will keep doing moral to you until you stop.The problem I want to ask you is how you do to gamble and your family to not know it as sometimes we gambler have urges to gamble out of nowhere,so you must be alone in the time you gamble and being alone is not something we can get that often when we run our families.If you play sport betting only I can understand as you can place your bets everywhere but if you play slots who take longer to spend your money it will be more difficult.

When you do know that gambling is something that it is really that prohibited into your religion then it would really be just that right that you should be wary on what are the actions that you should do and not something

that would totally oppose because on the time that it would really be caught on doing such act then for sure they would really be building up those impressions that you are really looking a bad person. lol
On other personal things on which if your wife caught you on doing gambling, then she would presume that you are spending tons of money into it on which it would really be making out that kind of argumentation
or talks about finances on where you would really be confronted on that regard which means that you do need to tell the truth because if your wife find out that you do still have that extra money
on which you could really make use on the she would definitely be skeptical in overall income that you are making.

So whats next into this? It would be a never ending kind of doubt and questioning if ever you do still have funds left or being kept, knowing that wives are really that too greedy when it comes to our income.

When we are already married then we must obey our promises and vous which is when we are saying that we will love our wife till death do as part then we must obey that. And that will happen once we don't have any lying or secrets from our wife. And in gambling once we notice that everytime we gamble we cannot control ourselves to make a way to gamble again.and again. Do we must tell to our wife so that they can help us to control ourselves.

It's best if we tell our wife we have a problem so she can help us think of ways to solve it. Openness in the household is needed so that husbands and wives can help each other if one of them needs help.

The essence of all these problems is that openness between families is very important, especially when it comes to serious matters such as gambling addiction, this is a serious problem and for me family is the main key to being able to recover from addiction and stop gambling.

But unfortunately, this openness is still difficult because not many people can be open with other family members. But if they can be open with others and share their problems, they will have a chance to cure their gambling addiction because their family members will help them solve their problems. Gambling addiction is a serious problem that must be solved because it can destroy a person's life and that of his family.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I also agree with what you say, because if a person cannot control himself it is impossible for him to set an example. I have seen many heads of families, men who have their wife and children and suddenly lose control not because of another woman but because of the casino game, because they have losing streaks and start betting more than they should and when they start to see they put their family support money at risk, that's when the addiction comes in, the loss of control and that's why I also second what you say, control is everything when it comes to casino games.

Our major concern should be to provide for our family, which means we should look for a decent a secondary source of income, and I don't propose gambling because it's too risky and not completely reliable. Gambling is a personal decision, but when pushed to an extreme, it reveals the bad traits, depleting all personal and life savings. Of course, no one will threaten you for your money; each individual knows what is best for himself or herself. Gambling is not a good way to go; I've been there, and believe me when I tell it will deplete one's life savings if not controlled and understood on time.

It is so, the game will always be a very difficult way to make money, the game should be seen as a way to have fun with diverted money to be Invested there, where the main thing is that it can be lost, that is why the money that is destined A casino cannot be seen as something that is going to be won, but rather that it is going to be prepared to lose , because if it is lost, there is no Regret or regret, which makes a player leave Satisfied, and as I said before, if the player wins Well, congratulations, things are in your favor and you have to take Advantage of the profits, I think that this is the healthiest way to play, to enjoy a casino and also the most Mature way for a person to see a casino.

If the Person wants to risk those profits that he Obtained , it is already a matter of his decision , Although in my personal Experience it is not good to do So , because he will most likely lose Everything and be Disappointed.

It is so, the game will always be a very difficult way to make money, the game should be seen as a way to have fun with diverted money to be Invested there, where the main thing is that it can be lost, that is why the money that is destined A casino cannot be seen as something that is going to be won, but rather that it is going to be prepared to lose , because if it is lost, there is no Regret or regret, which makes a player leave Satisfied, and as I said before, if the player wins Well, congratulations, things are in your favor and you have to take Advantage of the profits, I think that this is the healthiest way to play, to enjoy a casino and also the most Mature way for a person to see a casino.

If the Person wants to risk those profits that he Obtained , it is already a matter of his decision , Although in my personal Experience it is not good to do So , because he will most likely lose Everything and be Disappointed.

He'll not just lose his money but his family as well. A family without a father is such a bad situation for the kids, it leaves them vulnerable to the influence of other people and who knows what the kids could learn. Its a wake-up call for the father to just stop and rethink again. If he wants to gamble I guess he just has to do it online and hid it from his partner. 

If he doesn't wanna be blamed by the kids when they grew up, he better put himself together and fix issues. When a wife complains already, there is definitely an obligation that he took for granted.

When we are already married then we must obey our promises and vous which is when we are saying that we will love our wife till death do as part then we must obey that. And that will happen once we don't have any lying or secrets from our wife. And in gambling once we notice that everytime we gamble we cannot control ourselves to make a way to gamble again.and again. Do we must tell to our wife so that they can help us to control ourselves.

It's best if we tell our wife we have a problem so she can help us think of ways to solve it. Openness in the household is needed so that husbands and wives can help each other if one of them needs help. But often, husbands or wives harbor their problems and don't tell their partners until their partners know the real problem. And there are many cases where after the partner knows the real problem, they both get into fights that can lead to divorce and this has happened a lot everywhere. That's why every time we have a problem, we should immediately tell it to our partner so we can solve it. After all, two heads would be better than one.

The essence of all these problems is that openness between families is very important, especially when it comes to serious matters such as gambling addiction, this is a serious problem and for me family is the main key to being able to recover from addiction and stop gambling.

But unfortunately, this openness is still difficult because not many people can be open with other family members. But if they can be open with others and share their problems, they will have a chance to cure their gambling addiction because their family members will help them solve their problems. Gambling addiction is a serious problem that must be solved because it can destroy a person's life and that of his family.

This is the reality mate not all gamblers open their situations in their family but some of their friends already know about them.  And the reason why is that happened is that they are more open to their friends rather than to their family because when their family will know about their situation then it will cause minor or even major problem fro their family.

And if their friends already know that someone is already addicted to gambling, they can approach him and try to get him out of gambling while giving him a choice of activities to do. This will make people addicted to gambling think that they still have many choices of activities that they can use to reduce their gambling activities. And after knowing this, he can tell that he wants to stay away from gambling but still can't. I think his friends will help him to reduce his gambling time and even help him to cure his gambling addiction.

Different cultures have different attitudes towards gambling, for many people gambling is just another hobby you can enjoy with your money, but there are some cultures in which any amount of gambling regardless of the reason is deeply frowned upon.

So it makes sense that some people choose to hide this from their families as they do not want to hear any complains from them, especially if they have things under control, however this makes harder a recovery for those which became addicted as they feel they cannot share that secret with anyone, as they fear the repercussions of sharing this information with their loved ones.

If a gambler is having problem with addictions I think it'll be better they tell their family instead of hiding it from them because if they find out from outside it won't be nice and embracing to them. Hiding things from your family never ends well from how I see things.

Friends will understand if they find out you were addicted to gambling without telling them besides your family are those that'll take you more seriously and try to help you by all means you recover from your gambling addiction problem. Only a very few friends will try to help.

You shouldn't be scared of getting shouts from your love ones, those attitude at time is how they show their love to you. No family member will see one of their own in a problem and won't try to help them out if it. Sometimes they might threaten you just to get you to quit.

It is better and advisable to recapture that a problem shared is half addressed. Approaching someone who is addicted to gambling and convincing them to stop is a difficult exertion; it takes a long time before things turn out correctly. Addicts have little regard for their winnings, especially when watching gambling games. We can carefully supply recreational activities that will keep them busy, and gradually they will avoid betting games, thereby permitting them to see the truth. Their huge losses, disadvantages, and repercussions if they do not stop gambling.

~ How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

For someone who is a responsible gambler there would be nothing much to tell. Relatives, wife or parents, wouldn't be threatening such a person, because would know that gambling is entertainment for him, and if he's working and making money with his job, he needs some fun too, needs it for relaxation, to do his job better and to earn even more money.

I don't think the person the OP is referring to is a responsible gambler, if the person is a responsible gambler he wont really have problem with his wife even after she was able to access her husbands phone and she notice that her husband is a gambler. Maybe the are having financial crisis, maybe the husband have been complaining about lack of money, but she was just surprise to see her husband to have wasted lots of money on gambling, definitely her wife will be mad at him, because she believe her husband is wasting money on what those not really worth it.

If the Op is not addicted, i see no reason why he should be hiding it from his wife that he is not a gambler, nothing is bad in gambling but don't just be addicted to gambling.

Well, in that case he should seek professional help to get off from addiction. It works. A good friend of mine was suffering from gambling addiction 4 years ago, and he was helped by professionals and there were no incidents since.

But also know that often family members and friends have prejudices about gambling activity. They think every gambler is addicted by definition. Which is certainly not true.  Only around 5% of gamblers are problem gamblers, according to various reports.

Though this is true but it's very rare for you to discover nowadays that friends will advise someone positively than the negative way constituting to the already created problem on ground, also, we are no more kids that will expect people around us taking us as a reference point of discussion while correcting us from the wrong way we have been living our lives being a gambrler, we should instead be a motivation to others as well.

I appreciate the wisdom in your words. But its important for us to approach this issue with caution and avoid generalizations. Dealing with addiction is a multifaceted matter that necessitates an individualized approach. While involving family can play a crucial role in ones recovery. This may not always be advantageous.

In situations where family dynamics are harmful or dysfunctional exposing oneself to such an environment may do more harm than good. Therefore we must balance the narrative of always disclosing addiction to family with the reality of each unique circumstance. The significance of friendships in recovery cannot be underestimated. People develop diverse relationships with both friends and family.

Each carrying its own unique dynamics. The belief that only a few friends will provide support might not hold true for everyone universally. The determining factor is the strength of the relationship itself. Rather than solely relying on labels such as 'friend' or 'family'. Lastly while employing a tough love approach may have its merits in certain cases it should not be seen as universally applicable. It is vital to handle such situations delicately and with utmost care, respect, and empathy – preferably under the guidance of a professional counselor

You have to do it, if you want to stop gambling you must have a strong intention from yourself to do so because this is the main point besides professional help or any other help.
a wise gambler must have a target when to stop and when to live comfortably, in my opinion when you have a family you have to get out of the gambling industry. Because family is the most important thing for us to prioritize because families really need money for many needs, think about if you continue to gamble and lose after marriage, what will happen to your family. And what if it continues like that, and I'm sure your wife will be angry and even ask for a divorce.

I mean gambling addiction and if you have a family you should treat it immediately so your wife and children don't suffer. And no gambling addict can make a family happy, otherwise the household will be full of emotions because of gambling addiction.

I can relate. When I was just studying and had problems at school, like in my grades, teachers and classmates (about bullying) i'm more comfortable to open up to my friends because they know me well. There are many things my family doesn't know about me back then, maybe because I don't want them to worry or I want them to think everything is okay.

Anyway, it might hard but it's better to talk to your family first about your problem than choosing to open up to your friends. Because they're family and should be the one to know of what's bothering you and what you've been going through. If you have a gambling problem, be open to your partner because it's not good to keep your gambling to him/her just because you don't want him/her to get mad. Communication, respect and understanding are necessary in a relationship to last long.

But the addict himself he must know that self control is the only way to leave addictions or else he will find some other happiness in order to forget gambling industries.

Even if a gambler manages to get out of gambling addiction because of the help of several professionals and themselves, if after that he cannot immediately leave gambling and still occasionally tries to come back, then there is still a high probability of becoming a gambling addict again because as we know that gambling gives a very high sense of curiosity and can easily lead to feelings of addiction.
If he really has an awareness of the dangers of gambling addiction and can really get out of it, then he should also be able to quit the gambling industry and never return to playing occasionally or just watching other people's gaming sessions.

I was threatened many times by my family members to stop gambling. Since gambling is considered a punishable offense in our country, one cannot openly indulge in gambling in our country. Sometimes law enforcement officers from gambling dens arrest criminals.

As long as the person who warns gambling addicts to stop immediately can continue to warn them, I think the gambling addict will slowly open his mind that what that person said is true. Maybe he will accept that person's advice to stop gambling and want to do rehabilitation for his recovery from gambling. It does take time to heal himself from gambling addiction but that's what must be done to recover from gambling addiction. Maybe if a gambling addict is willing to accept his suggestions, that person can invite him to do other activities that can keep him busy so he won't think about gambling.

Though this is true but it's very rare for you to discover nowadays that friends will advise someone positively than the negative way constituting to the already created problem on ground, also, we are no more kids that will expect people around us taking us as a reference point of discussion while correcting us from the wrong way we have been living our lives being a gambrler, we should instead be a motivation to others as well.

Gambling addicts rarely want to correct themselves because they will not think about self-reflection. But if someone advises him about his gambling addiction and finds a solution and does it together, I think it still has the potential to heal. A gambling addict needs attention from the people around him so that a gambling addict can know that the people around him still need him. If the people around him can treat him kindly, there is a possibility that the gambling addict will realize that what he is doing is wrong. And with the help of other people who will accompany them during the healing process, gambling addicts will not feel alone.

Threats are in categories when it comes to the ones coming as a result of gambling, you can manage to argue your way out with the kind of threats coming from the family members or your friends you're having, but you dare not risk any form of government threat on gambling especially when they are taking strictness on gambling in such country you may found yourself in or the local community settings where you lived in

That's correct. A threat from a family member is not that harsh and I doubt they will report you to the government even though they have strict rules about gambling. They are still your family and I do believe they are just doing it for your own good or they are scared that in the future you will be caught with what you are doing and they don't want that to happen. So, stopping it as early as possible while you are not yet addicted to it "yet" will be the solution they can find. Try to be in the same position as they are where someone you love is gambling like crazy.

When you are there (addicted to gambling), I doubt you can stop it easily. I've seen it, especially now when casinos are available with just an internet away and a computer or a smartphone. If you can control it now, keep it that way or you will end up in jail if that habit is unauthorized in your country.

Do you think of this threat as something that can stop you from gambling, I'm sure there's no way it can stop you that fast, especially just because of a ban from the government in your country, as long as the site is still accessible I'm sure you can still play with your cellphone except for land casinos it may be less secure but for online casinos it can still be accessed easily.

In my country it is also banned but I can still play casino through my phone using crypto, but still if your family threats are good to keep you from getting addicted everything will look good , you need to follow them because of course they don't want you to fall too deep into gambling so that becoming an addict, personally I can still gamble in a controlled manner so it is still relatively safe to gamble

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling,

If this is how marriages are being disbanded then this is some sad reading, what happened to communication If you ask, this lady has been looking for a way out and she found his gambling habit to be the perfect ticket out of this marriage!!

The, why not ask the better half why his gambling,  is if for fun and has nothing to do or his in it for the profit ??

she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

This is what happens when you go witch hunting,  you will always find what you looking for..great detective work wify:)

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

Good thing he choose the wife to save his marriage,
but Bad habits die hard, nevertheless we all need to start from somewhere to get something resolved, goOdluck Mr Man.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Threats don't seat well with anybody and unfortunately I haven't being in such a situation.

[FredLong]

It's unfortunate to hear about your friend's situation with his wife discovering his gambling habits. Sometimes, such revelations can lead to difficult conversations and tough decisions in relationships. Regarding your question, it's important to remember that everyone's experiences differ. If anyone has faced threats or challenges related to their gambling habits, sharing their stories might provide support and understanding. By the way, have you checked out the review of Spin Casino? It's always helpful to explore different online casinos and their features. You might find valuable information about games, promotions, and more.

As a married man you now have some responsibility to take care of, so you can't use all your spare money for gambling, every spare money is useful for a married man because of responsibility, so even if you can make some extra income, you will still need to divide that into two and use the a part for gambling and the other for an emergency fee, just in case.

@crypt0Gore, I will offer my own perspective to what you said, which is fantastic. As a married man, I believe there is no need for them to engage in any gambling because you have a lot of essential matters to take care of. My friend used to gamble all the time, but after getting married, he started to consider how he would stop, even though he was doing it for fun. He found it simple to stop gambling because of that. So you can see that these reasons are why someone should avoid excessive gambling to avoid developing a gambling addiction. If you already have an addiction and get married, your marriage will undoubtedly fail because you will be using the money you were supposed to use to support your family to gamble instead.

I agree with you that family threats are normal when it comes to gambling because no family wants to put themselves at risk by gambling. Even if you go ahead at your own risk, if it is legalized by the government, then no strictness will work there, but if it is not legal, legal punishment has to be applied. It is a natural expectation that all those who break the law will be brought to justice. But selective arrests in anti casino operations gambling is still a punishable offense in many countries.

Gambling or not gambling as a married man depends on your cash inflow and how you can handle your family responsibilities so that you don't use the last funds on you to gamble and you haven't put food on the table. I know of so many married men that are gamblers and they don't have any problem with their wives. If you are earning a good amount of money at the end of the months,after calculating all your budget and expenses,you are still left with halve portions of your money,there is no harm to of you gambling. The best thing to avoid problems from your gambling activities, is to have a gamble budget every week or month. So that you can stop gambling when you have made use of all your gambling budget.

I have a little advice for you; It's better to adhere to the laws and regulations set by the government when it comes to gambling in your country. Engaging in illegal gambling activities can have severe consequences. Not only can you face fines and penalties, but the gambling platform you use may also be subjected to legal action. In some cases, if the gambling company discovers that participating in gambling activities is prohibited in your country, they may seize your assets. This unfortunate situation would result in both financial loss and potential legal repercussions in the future. It is advisable to consider relocating to a jurisdiction where gambling is legally permitted and seen as a form of entertainment, rather than remaining in a country where you might be regarded as a criminal for simply seeking entertainment.

Man, there's always a problem in relationship because you're married with someone who have it's own mind, not to mention you're also need to face her parents and families which is you need to deal with many people personalities.

Usually a women and her family would allow her husband bad habit e.g. gambling, alcohol, night party, drunk etc if he can give a lot money. That's why money is a big matter to make your life easier and make your life happier.

It's a good thing that your friend think about stopping snd really did it for the sake of his beloved and their marriage. Money is one of the most common trigger of relationship fights and if you are a gambling addict and all you gamble is the enough money you sre just earning, the possibility that both of you in a relationship will be destroyed by a money problem. Gambling should be moderated atleast once you entered in a marriage since both of your money are combined and lossing a portion of it will affect you both.

I agree with this. If you really want to gamble, think and assess your capabilities first. You need to prioritize the needs of your family instead of putting first your gambling habits and desires. You can't just abandon your duty as a provider or as a homemaker if you plan to gamble. Family responsibilities and duties must always come first. Setting it aside is a clear indication of having no discipline. And if you don't have discipline, it can be concluded that sooner or later, you'll experience the consequences of gambling terribly.

You should ensure that your family has something to eat enough fund to keep the comfortable lifestyle before allotting fund to gambling bets and plays. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time in financial aspects if you mess this up.

I agree with this. If you really want to gamble, think and assess your capabilities first. You need to prioritize the needs of your family instead of putting first your gambling habits and desires. You can't just abandon your duty as a provider or as a homemaker if you plan to gamble. Family responsibilities and duties must always come first. Setting it aside is a clear indication of having no discipline. And if you don't have discipline, it can be concluded that sooner or later, you'll experience the consequences of gambling terribly.

You should ensure that your family has something to eat enough fund to keep the comfortable lifestyle before allotting fund to gambling bets and plays. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time in financial aspects if you mess this up.

Some of the people now are not family oriented, they believe that as long as they working they can do anything that they wanted to do they always say they will still have money as long as they will be working which is wrong, they need to proper allocate their assets first and learn that priorities first before our entertainment, i am sure he will be threat by his own family.

[Fesatmas]

It's a good thing that your friend think about stopping snd really did it for the sake of his beloved and their marriage. Money is one of the most common trigger of relationship fights and if you are a gambling addict and all you gamble is the enough money you sre just earning, the possibility that both of you in a relationship will be destroyed by a money problem. Gambling should be moderated atleast once you entered in a marriage since both of your money are combined and lossing a portion of it will affect you both.

Yes, that's true, money is very sensitive and I always fear this when I have a family or get married because there have been many cases of separation in a family relationship due to economic problems. If a gambling addict cannot make peace with himself to agree to stop gambling, then it is certain that the thing he is most afraid of will happen in family relationships. Lately, to be honest, I have always been looking for ways to quit gambling addiction and what are the first steps I should take to get started. everyone who is not married including myself will face family times and I'm sure everyone hopes to be able to stop gambling addiction because this will be a big problem in the family.

[xSkylarx]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

That is really the husband's mistake, and if he just told his wife about it, then for sure there are no problems with it. I am just glad that I am not like this, as my partner and I are always talking about it, and we are not heavy gamblers. It is just that we bet sometimes when we want it, but mostly when it comes to spending and earnings, we are really open to it and not secretive because both of you should be aware of it, and there are also no secrets when you are already married so that both of you are happy.

[macson]

It's unfortunate to hear about your friend's situation with his wife discovering his gambling habits. Sometimes, such revelations can lead to difficult conversations and tough decisions in relationships.

the most important thing in any relationship ^{(whether it's family, friendship, and partner)} is openness and honesty with each other, but a husband and wife must be very open because such a relationship is very intimate.  the habit of gambling is not bad as long as it doesn't make it difficult for one another because having a family is not easy, don't just because of the gambling habit you have, the family that was previously intact has fallen apart.  keep watching and discussing everything with your partner when the gambling activity he has started to interfere with social life in the household.

[Stable090]

@crypt0Gore, I will offer my own perspective to what you said, which is fantastic. As a married man, I believe there is no need for them to engage in any gambling because you have a lot of essential matters to take care of.

I don’t think marriage should be the reason why you should stop gambling, if your wife knows that you are a gambler and she is not complaining, then I see no reason why anyone should stop gambling after marriage, anyone that wants to stop can stop, but marriage those not give any reason stop marriage. Even before marriage everyone is having essential matters to settle, but the only thing I will say is that we should make sure that gambling shouldn’t affect the financial well-being of our family members, and am sure anybody that gamble for fun won’t take gambling personally.

My friend used to gamble all the time, but after getting married, he started to consider how he would stop, even though he was doing it for fun. He found it simple to stop gambling because of that. So you can see that these reasons are why someone should avoid excessive gambling to avoid developing a gambling addiction. If you already have an addiction and get married, your marriage will undoubtedly fail because you will be using the money you were supposed to use to support your family to gamble instead.

I know lots of people that are married and still gamble, but their gambling those not affect their affairs, everything is just planning, as long as you are not addicted to gambling, then if you properly plan yourself, then gambling won’t have any negative effects to the affair of your family member’s. If you are gambling for relaxation, you don’t have to gamble with any reasonable amount of money, you can just be gambling with just little amount and you will be relaxing with it.

[Betwrong]

~ Well, in that case he should seek professional help to get off from addiction. It works. A good friend of mine was suffering from gambling addiction 4 years ago, and he was helped by professionals and there were no incidents since.

But also know that often family members and friends have prejudices about gambling activity. They think every gambler is addicted by definition. Which is certainly not true.  Only around 5% of gamblers are problem gamblers, according to various reports.

In order to leave in to addiction the gambler itself must help themselves to separate their lives in to the gambling world and yes by the help of some professional and expert the addict of gambling can still leave from addiction. But the addict himself he must know that self control is the only way to leave addictions or else he will find some other happiness in order to forget gambling industries.

You mean the "happiness" of drinking a lot of alcohol or taking drugs? Yes, such things happen to former gambling addicts sometimes. It happens when they were forcefully withdrawn from gambling, because gambling by itself wasn't their problem actually. Their problem is inability of controlling their own desires. It's complicated. And that's why the close ones of a gambling addict should always seek professional help instead of trying to stop it on their own.

This is where the problem start and people should be aware in this since whatever things they keep secret to anyone it creates negative impact on long end. So much better they would declare while its so early on what activity they are participating so that they will not came to the point that this could ignite anger or even quarrel on their homes.

If you get to that stage , I think you're an addict to gambling and you already lost more than you can ever recover. Threatens on gambling are scary and I don't even want to imagine what is like to be like that and I don't want to find out.

what an upheaval I don't believe that spending time gambling is the issue, but rather the money spent. Perhaps when his wife was cleaning up, she found some betting receipts, and seeing the numbers made her speak. However, I don't believe that your friend's wife leaving him is the best course of action instead since they are married, she should think about other ways to assist him. Oh, I see it's even internet betting, and I still can't stop laughing . You know how women are with money, so perhaps that's why she became enraged with her husband and threatened to leave him after she spotted the winning slip and he refused to tell her about the money and the news just like you said. wanted to celebrate with her husband and hit him with I huge bill to pay, since it is just to bet for fun I don't have any experience of being threatened.

People are reluctant to disclose their gambling habits because gambling has a negative connotation. The moment people know that someone is gambling, expect that people will judge and criticize you for doing so because gambling is perceived as dirty and as an irresponsible habit. Hence, people are afraid to tell even to their closest relatives that they have been gambling or they have experience about it. However, it shouldn't really be a secret most especially if you have a family, a spouse that is your partner in everything. Open communication is essential in marriage especially when it comes to money matters because financial aspect is one of the things to be discussed at home without secrets to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings, and to properly allocate or pool your funds to partition for your budget on every single things needed at home or needs of your children without a hassle.

Who can threat a person to stop gambling? For sure, it would be anyone who is very close to us and moreover, he or she cares for us. A most common example could be the wife threatening his husband to stop gambling. else she may leave him or divorce him. Or a very close friend threatening another friend to stop the gamble, or else he will leave the friendship forever.

A point to consider is that these threats come once people do not listen and when the other person sees there is no other option but to try the last resort to threaten the person to stop the gamble.

This is not a new problem and I had an experience a few years ago where a colleague of mine had to suffer bad luck because his wife left him because of his involvement in gambling which cost a lot of money. At the moment gambling is very easy to do because there are many online sites available and it's easy to hide from our wives, except when we have a severe addiction and spend a lot of money from our daily jobs, so when our wives ask for money for our needs we are unable to give it.

The wife's suspicion will arise when we are no longer able to meet the cost of daily needs, so that will arouse suspicion from her. All this time my wife never knew I had gambled, so there was no threat whatsoever from my previous wife or parents and I am also not an active and addicted gambler so for now there is no loss at all from them.

Yes, of course it's clear if you're not an addict you won't be threatened to stop gambling whether it's from your family or lover especially your wife, I think everyone who threatens has seen you go beyond the limit of gambling or let's say they have seen you as a heavy addict so they threaten you to stop . because otherwise, of course there is no threat whatsoever.

Besides, threats to show affection don't mean to threaten you to stop because of something that hates you, because they love you so they threaten you. It's true, don't imagine being an addict because by becoming an addict, we can't find our way in life any more. Gambling without an end goal will not make us successful human beings who are proud of by our families and lovers.

And no matter how clever we hide our gambling activities from our wife or husband, they will know and maybe it will happen like in that story where we are threatened to stop gambling. And that's normal for our partners to do because they don't want to see us having problems, especially since this is gambling, which can cost a lot of money, especially if we get addicted to gambling. There have been many cases where families have been destroyed because of gambling so many people who have families will choose their families rather than see their families destroyed. Maybe now we can still hide it from our wife, husband, or even our parents, but we don't know if they still won't know or will find out in the future.

I am very open with my partner, even in some of the sports bets that I do, I ask for advice from him, he is very happy that I still ask for advice from him on the choices I will make when betting football.

If there is a lack of fidelity between husband and wife, it is certainly not at a normal stage. Here the gambler has kept his password in such a way that one can easily log in there. If the gambler did not want to inform the family he had to be careful enough. But there he showed indifference. I think if there is a big gambling win it should be told to someone in the family. Otherwise any kind of mishap is never recoverable. Most family members don't want any of them to become addicted to gambling. Because of which sometimes such a situation is created.

[TheGreatPython]

And if their friends already know that someone is already addicted to gambling, they can approach him and try to get him out of gambling while giving him a choice of activities to do. This will make people addicted to gambling think that they still have many choices of activities that they can use to reduce their gambling activities. And after knowing this, he can tell that he wants to stay away from gambling but still can't. I think his friends will help him to reduce his gambling time and even help him to cure his gambling addiction.

It is better and advisable to recapture that a problem shared is half addressed. Approaching someone who is addicted to gambling and convincing them to stop is a difficult exertion; it takes a long time before things turn out correctly. Addicts have little regard for their winnings, especially when watching gambling games. We can carefully supply recreational activities that will keep them busy, and gradually they will avoid betting games, thereby permitting them to see the truth. Their huge losses, disadvantages, and repercussions if they do not stop gambling.

Gamblers who don't acknowledge the fact that they are addicted to gambling are a pretty difficult case to handle to be honest, because even if you want to get them to do some other activity so that they stay way from gambling, they wouldn't agree to do that in the beginning and will insist they will gamble instead because they don't even see this as an issue at all, and if you try and force them, they will take it very seriously and might even start fighting with you.

So making someone do other activities and get engaged otherwise is only possible if they understand that gambling is taking a lot of their time and money and it isn't good for them, and that is when if you ask them for assistance, they will be more than happy to accept that because all they might need is your company in the first place.

[mvdheuvel1983]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

My parents have only one time told me that if I were married, I would not spend so much time gambling rather I would use that time to bond with my wife and kids. It was funny but looking back now I can see some sense and truth in what they said. Because I was unmarried then my idea times were either spent at the bookies or in some online casino. If your spouse, family or friend has to talk to you about your gambling habit, then it means that you should take it seriously and do not brush it off with some excuses. They know you better than you think they do.

For me gamblers who are married would be better off if the gambling activity was also said by their partner if it was not allowed it would be better and if it was accepted this would be good news because when gambling there is something that reminds you to control yourself like your partner, this will keep you away from addiction.
But everyone has different thoughts and for me to see someone who is married gambling secretly is very sad.

The most important reason to reveal that you gamble to your partner is that no financial decision should be taken unilaterally, now most people gamble a small amount of money, but over the long term this amount can grow to very high levels if you are not careful, so having a partner to remind you to keep yourself on track and spend a small amount of money is always welcome.

However it is also possible that if you reveal your gambling hobby to your partner a fight could ensue, since there are many people out there that have a bad opinion about gambling.

I am very open with my partner, even in some of the sports bets that I do, I ask for advice from him, he is very happy that I still ask for advice from him on the choices I will make when betting football.

However, we can hide it from our partner, sooner or later, our partner will know and we also don't know how they got to know. And I agree with always being open with our partners so we don't always suspect what we are doing. I am also always open with my partner because we are already living together and there is no need to hide anything.

If he could tell his wife about his winnings, surely there wouldn't be any problems between them so he could continue playing gambling as his wife knew. So he won't get any threats from his wife, he will be safe playing gambling, and he can enjoy his winning money with his wife. It will also make his wife happy because she can earn extra money from the winning money.

Being open with your partner makes a person able to play gambling comfortably because his gambling activities are already known. In addition, if his partner did not approve, he would provide advice for him so that he could leave gambling without any threats from his wife. This is a communication issue between them. Apparently, they are neither communicating with each other nor being honest with their partner. This problem can be resolved amicably between them so that there is no need for threats to stop gambling or divorce if the husband cannot leave gambling.

[rhomelmabini]

It's unfortunate to hear about your friend's situation with his wife discovering his gambling habits. Sometimes, such revelations can lead to difficult conversations and tough decisions in relationships.

Man, there's always a problem in relationship because you're married with someone who have it's own mind, not to mention you're also need to face her parents and families which is you need to deal with many people personalities.

Usually a women and her family would allow her husband bad habit e.g. gambling, alcohol, night party, drunk etc if he can give a lot money. That's why money is a big matter to make your life easier and make your life happier.

For those who say money can't buy happiness that's when they wrong, you can be happy gambling but make sure your family is supported so they wouldn't turn on you, sometimes that discomfort when you hear them rant was the unluckiness you get. I mean, it's difficult to be honest especially if it will lead to serious issues but gambling shouldn't be hidden especially to your spouse, they can understand for sure just don't make a habit that you loss a fortune regularly on that and has hidden debts as well.

    -  Any person they love who is addicted to gambling will not let them be reminded of what gambling can do if it is not controlled properly, so that's how they remind them.

I will do the same even if it is said that I also play gambling. That's why some people always say to be responsible in gambling, including knowing where your limits are as a gambler, if you lose, leave immediately and come back another day, that's all.

I only gambled in small amounts and until now it has not affected my shopping burden for daily needs, besides, I am not an active gambler like most people, so it doesn't matter if my partner doesn't know about this gambling activity.

There have been many cases where families have been destroyed because of gambling so many people who have families will choose their families rather than see their families destroyed. Maybe now we can still hide it from our wife husband, or even our parents, but we don't know if they still won't know or will find out in the future.

Stop if indeed gambling can affect our family, especially if it has to end in divorce which will have an impact on children. But when the gambling that you run can be responsible and doesn't make things worse, I don't think it's a problem as long as our finances don't affect and don't make everything a burden. I use money from bonuses or other sources in gambling, so it doesn't affect a steady financial source for my daily needs and because of the nature of gambling that I do not get addicted or addicted, this will not have any impact so far.

[Shamm]

If you get to that stage , I think you're an addict to gambling and you already lost more than you can ever recover. Threatens on gambling are scary and I don't even want to imagine what is like to be like that and I don't want to find out. However, every action is a reaction of you previous choices so that should sum it up.  

Who can threat a person to stop gambling? For sure, it would be anyone who is very close to us and moreover, he or she cares for us. A most common example could be the wife threatening his husband to stop gambling. else she may leave him or divorce him. Or a very close friend threatening another friend to stop the gamble, or else he will leave the friendship forever.

A point to consider is that these threats come once people do not listen and when the other person sees there is no other option but to try the last resort to threaten the person to stop the gamble.

Absolutely right mate the main reason why gamblers addictions can still have a doubt if the gambler can leave or not. But many people around the world successfully leave the gambling world because they are strong and disciplined gamblers. And that's what every gambler have because the more the gambler can control and have a discipline to himself then all I can say is that he can successfully leave in the world of gambling .

I only gambled in small amounts and until now it has not affected my shopping burden for daily needs, besides, I am not an active gambler like most people, so it doesn't matter if my partner doesn't know about this gambling activity.

I also gambled in small amounts and still like that because I realized that gambling small amounts and keeping limits would not hurt me or my family's finances. And even though my partner often doesn't know I'm gambling, I can still control myself so nothing happens. And even though my partner later finds out, he's also okay because he knows I'm trying to be able to manage my finances and not interfere with family finances.

Stop if indeed gambling can affect our family, especially if it has to end in divorce which will have an impact on children.

We should be able to stop gambling if we can not control ourselves because it can interfere with our finances and may cause big problems for our families. There have been many cases where families are in big trouble where in the end, they have to divorce because there is no communication between them. We have to pay attention to this, lest we experience the same thing as them. While we are still able to stop, we should stop immediately so that we can avoid any bad problems. We should gamble using the free money we can afford so we don't cross the line, let alone disrupt our finances.

Gambling is a bad addiction due to which many women cannot accept it. And drinking alcohol and other drugs are very harmful to the human body due to which women cannot accept their consumption from their husbands or boyfriends. Not just gambling or drinking but my wife can't tolerate a simple smoking. I gamble secretly from my wife because she is too much of a threat to me. If she finds out about my gambling and smoking activities, she might leave me too 

[slapper]

~snip~

Gamblers who don't acknowledge the fact that they are addicted to gambling are a pretty difficult case to handle to be honest, because even if you want to get them to do some other activity so that they stay way from gambling, they wouldn't agree to do that in the beginning and will insist they will gamble instead because they don't even see this as an issue at all, and if you try and force them, they will take it very seriously and might even start fighting with you.

So making someone do other activities and get engaged otherwise is only possible if they understand that gambling is taking a lot of their time and money and it isn't good for them, and that is when if you ask them for assistance, they will be more than happy to accept that because all they might need is your company in the first place.

If I understand you correctly, you're arguing that it's difficult to help compulsive gamblers because they don't realise they have a problem. That's not unreasonable at all. It's like trying to lead a horse to water, right? They would be angry and maybe violent if coerced into doing something else. So, there are no counterarguments.

However, your second paragraph suggests that these gamblers would be more receptive to help once they recognise they have a problem. This makes sense, but we need to know what brings about this insight. We can't sit back and hope that enlightenment suddenly dawns upon them.

So, what are our options if we can't make them do anything and we can't wait for them to accept their predicament on their own? Maybe it would be better to help them figure out what it is about gambling that they find so appealing rather than try to find an alternative to it.

Any addiction is bad, there are people that call themselves workaholic, basically it is a way to say they are addicted to work, however a person which was truly addicted to their work will be as bad as a drug addict or an alcoholic, after all they will not attend to the needs to their families as they are fully concentrated on their jobs, and this will lead them to develop the same problems any addict develops.

Also as a personal note maybe it could be a good idea that you give up on gambling, as there is no point on risking your family over something which should be a harmless hobby.

Yes, of course it's clear if you're not an addict you won't be threatened to stop gambling whether it's from your family or lover especially your wife, I think everyone who threatens has seen you go beyond the limit of gambling or let's say they have seen you as a heavy addict so they threaten you to stop . because otherwise, of course there is no threat whatsoever.

This is not necessarily so. There's so much bad publicity about gambling that your relatives or close ones may be concerned about your betting even if you don't lose much to that, or you don't lose at all, or even win. And why is there that bad publicity? It's because there are addicted gamblers and their life is a tragedy. And people love reading tragedies, so, there's a demand, right? And journalists are happy to supply. They don't care about how objective it is as long as it attracts attention. Not all journalists are like that, but many, unfortunately.

Now a smart phone is enough for gambling so it is possible to gamble blindly if one gambles in his spare time.  But if someone is addicted to gambling, the addicted gambler gambles for long hours every day due to which his gambling is revealed to his family and relatives. And then he is put under a lot of pressure from his family and relatives and everyone starts to dislike him because gambling is not a good thing in the eyes of the society.

My elder siblings have often advised me to stop gambling, but they do rejoice with me whenever I win the Lotto, because they, as well, are human beings who really need money to solve their own problems. We strive and work for our everyday survival; nothing ought to cease us from accomplishing or taking a new step every day. Family members are free to do whatever they believe is proper, but a man is obligated to stand his ground and seek his daily bread. It's a good thing to take action and combat dissatisfaction; we're here to conquer and make the best of our opportunities.

[Fundamentals Of]

That's a funny story but something serious at the same time. Lol. I haven't been in that kind of situation. I haven't been secretly gambling. My family knows I gamble once in a while. That's not really a big deal because I am not an addict gambler. I gamble just for fun. Although sometimes I lose a good deal of money, it isn't something that is intended for something else. So if a significant amount is lost, there's still food, bills are still paid, etc. No serious damage done.

I understand what you're saying but I'm a bit thinking isn't it not very good or very bad in the long term? because it seems as if you think gambling is a place to win or get more money from your bet.
I admit that as a man, I have the responsibility to provide for them in various ways to get money to be able to meet their needs, but if it's like what you do, it seems a little disagree.
I don't know for sure if you will gamble every day like you said when nothing can stop you from gambling but at least you try to have some control to try to make a profit in something other than gambling and try to stop gambling

Well, everything that is too much is harmful. Some might be oblivious, especially if something pays well that it becomes not a great concern to them, but anything that is done excessively has its repercussions. For instance, if you are a workaholic person, you sacrifice your time and effort for the sake of earning money. You lose your work-balance life because you're too engrossed in working to get high salary in return. This will cost you your peace of mind and at the same time your health and well-being.

The same applies in gambling, if you will be too engrossed in playing or betting, you sacrifice your time that could've been allotted to something else such as spending it with your family or doing other things that will be more beneficial to you. It's true that we are entitled to our own decision, but reassessing ourselves and changing for the better isn't a bad idea too, especially if gambling isn't adding much value to your life based on your own assessment.

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Well, after I read the entire contents of the topic, at least your friend has made a big mistake because he has wasted the trust his wife has placed on him. Hiding his big win from his wife was the biggest mistake, maybe all this time his wife was very patient with their family's financial condition, she did not dare to demand anything from her husband because she was considered to have no money.

Naturally, his wife threatened to leave the house due to being very disappointed after learning the truth. If your friend had been more open with his wife, maybe he wouldn't have received such sadistic threats. So far I have been very open about the activities I do, my wife doesn't demand much from me, the important thing is that she always has enough monthly shopping money. I have never received a threat like the one you described above.

Your wife is very simple and she probably loves you so much that she does not allow you to indulge in any bad habits and also wants to keep you away from smoke addiction because it causes cancer. And to tell the truth she wants peace in your family that's why she wants to keep you away from bad habits like gambling. But you can secretly gamble on your smartphone to pass your boring time with fun. and because of your wife's pressure, you can stay away from deep addiction to gambling.

If someone forbids bad habits such as gambling, it is a sign that the person is very kind and sincerely helps to break free from addiction.
I'm sure his wife is very kind and patient with this behavior and I hope leonair can respect her feelings because she only wants the best for her partner.
Always control yourself and gamble responsibly, maybe it's a little easy to say but I understand that someone who is already addicted will find it difficult to avoid it except for the support of his wife.

It is very wrong when we are been forced to stop gambling. Gambling is something that we need to decide to stop if we really want to stop gambling but not someone telling us to stop gambling or threatening us in one way or the other to stop gambling. There are people that gamble for fun like you are hi but it is not good when we become too focus as a gambler. Gambling is not something we need to do with our common sense and we should not become too focus and addicted to it like the way many of us see gambling to be an activities that we needed to engage in that will give us the kind of profits that we want.

[348Judah]

It is very wrong when we are been forced to stop gambling. Gambling is something that we need to decide to stop if we really want to stop gambling but not someone telling us to stop gambling or threatening us in one way or the other to stop gambling.

It's not polite enough for an adult gambler to be advised to stop gambling when they are not children, an underaged gambler can be advised to stop gambling, we have to gamble as matured men in a responsible manners, too much of everything is very bad, we can enjoy gambling at our comfort zone with fun as being entertained because we love to gamble and have it to the full whenever we are in it.

There are people that gamble for fun like you are hi but it is not good when we become too focus as a gambler. Gambling is not something we need to do with our common sense and we should not become too focus and addicted to it like the way many of us see gambling to be an activities that we needed to engage in that will give us the kind of profits that we want.

It is very important that we know that not all of us have thesame character and can reason the same way others do, some people don't just know how to balance their entertainment time with their personal life and career with how they relate with the people around them without giving them a second thought about us.

I’m glad that you aren’t addicted to gambling and also just doing it for fun. That’s how it’s been for me since a long time ago, It’s just a risky activity and you shouldn’t take it seriously as a source of money imo. As far as you ain’t surpassing your limit and paying your bills as well as your family knows about it then it’s fine.

[Youngkhngdiddy]

 I've been in this situation before but not very similar to he's because I'm yet to be married, in my own case I've had more loses than winning, but the amount of cash I make from my  wins in a particular time is greater compared to the number of times I've lost, I do disclose to friends of my winning from betting but find it difficult to tell them when I lose sometimes due to shame of fear of being abused by them.
 But asides from the fact that your different didn't open up to his wife of his winning, maybe he's not fulfilling his responsibility as a man which prompted her to get angry on seeing the amount he's won am kept it to himself or it might be that she's scared the number of times he's lost is affecting his ability to provide as well as becoming a gambling addict and losing more money.
 But threating someone in such matter is not a way of helping them to quit maybe it might have worked for her making him consider her request due to his love for her but she should know that an addiction is not an easy thing to quit and it takes a gradual process with good advise and some therapeutic means to help them other than forcefully making them quit.

That's exactly what we have to do with gambling. We should not sacrifice money for everyday life just to gamble because, after all, we have to survive and by having money, we can survive. But if we instead use the money to gamble in the hope that we can win, that is not recommended because gambling means that we can lose at any time and when we do lose, we want to recover that loss. And we have to gamble with limits to avoid all the problems that will arise later.

Because the outcome is very unpredictable.

Being concerned is a different personality anymore and not all have that. Even if we explain gambling to these people, there is no guarantee that they will change their mind towards it.

We can only waste our time so it's better to just ignore them and continue doing what you love. You know there is nothing wrong with you because you are not a compulsive gambler. For those who are a true addict, they need to accept their mistakes and they need to listen to the people who cares about them as this was also for their own good.

Because they cannot enjoy their life properly because they are addicted to gambling they are always thinking where  People who are addicted to gambling can never keep money and soon become destitute. So there is no happiness and peace in their life. Those who can control themselves in gambling and live as fun.  In their case, such cases are very rare.

That's correct. If you know to yourself that you are not crossing that line of being an addicted gambler then there's nothing to be shy about. In my case, my wife sees me every day that I am running an auto bet in a casino game but she doesn't mind because she knows that I don't go as far as damaging our budget or ruining our lives by being too focused on gambling. I mean, that's why it's in Autobet because I am still doing something else which is more productive.
Society will always judge, that's the norm. But, if we know that we are not in the wrong direction yet then there's nothing to worry about. We can just always ignore them because they don't really add any good flavor to our lives, just mere bitterness. Literally. It's not even a threat to our life, words cannot kill people unless we are too soft and will take all their attacks to our hearts.

 Back in the days when i am still super active in Physical gambling (as I live in a community where gambling is bread and butter and part of daily living)

there comes a time when i am thinking of what will happen to me and my family in the future as I never win big and keep losing .

my weekly payroll has been spending and risking for gambling and ending we only have enough for table and no savings at all.

then crypto come to my life in which made easy for me to connect in gambling but realized that I am missing more than half of my life , that is when i start accumulating crypto and lessen my gambling vices , and yes now I only gamble when i have spare money and not to seek to become instant millionaire .

That's why we have self-control so we don't spend much money on gambling. Gambling is okay, but with good self-control, we can manage spending. And for married people, you should really manage family expenses and not interfere with family finances just to gamble and chase victory. We will never always be able to win so we have to remember that and only gamble for fun. Every time we gamble, we can win or lose, so if we manage spending for gambling, we won't have any difficulties.

The system is difficult; we has to confront favorable conditions in gambling while applying new techniques that are beneficial to us. We have responsibilities and ought to step in and deliver where we are called upon; most of us are married and have children; we are unable to depend on gambling to provide for our families; rather, we need the basic skills to use our gambling earnings to invest in another business. Self-control is absolutely necessary for gambling; with this attribute, one would be confident enough to refrain from gambling for a day, because we all have our daily budgets to achieve from the system.

                            I wasn't threaten by anybody but Myself ,


 Back in the days when i am still super active in Physical gambling (as I live in a community where gambling is bread and butter and part of daily living)

there comes a time when i am thinking of what will happen to me and my family in the future as I never win big and keep losing .

my weekly payroll has been spending and risking for gambling and ending we only have enough for table and no savings at all.

then crypto come to my life in which made easy for me to connect in gambling but realized that I am missing more than half of my life , that is when i start accumulating crypto and lessen my gambling vices , and yes now I only gamble when i have spare money and not to seek to become instant millionaire .

Congratulations on your mind triumphing over the desire to get rich quick. Not all gamblers can make it.

I also had a time when I spent a lot of money on gambling because I could not control my desires. I realized that I was overstepping my bounds but gambling had a greater influence on me. Over time I learned to control myself and gamble for fun. But it took me a year.

He is a true winner because he managed to escape the negative effects of gambling and was able to master gambling as a place of entertainment, not a place for profit.

Lots of gamblers also experience the same thing, it's just that they fail when they are in the process of achieving it, but you can do this in just one year, that's really extraordinary.
I have to be a complete broke person to stop spending huge amounts of money while gambling.
But I am very grateful because with the bitter experience that happened, I now have real awareness and understanding for gambling.

That's a funny story but something serious at the same time. Lol. I haven't been in that kind of situation. I haven't been secretly gambling. My family knows I gamble once in a while. That's not really a big deal because I am not an addict gambler. I gamble just for fun. Although sometimes I lose a good deal of money, it isn't something that is intended for something else. So if a significant amount is lost, there's still food, bills are still paid, etc. No serious damage done.

I’m glad that you aren’t addicted to gambling and also just doing it for fun. That’s how it’s been for me since a long time ago, It’s just a risky activity and you shouldn’t take it seriously as a source of money imo. As far as you ain’t surpassing your limit and paying your bills as well as your family knows about it then it’s fine.

That's exactly what we have to do with gambling. We should not sacrifice money for everyday life just to gamble because, after all, we have to survive and by having money, we can survive. But if we instead use the money to gamble in the hope that we can win, that is not recommended because gambling means that we can lose at any time and when we do lose, we want to recover that loss. And we have to gamble with limits to avoid all the problems that will arise later.

That's the why as a gambler we need to have a peaceful mindset which is we need to control ourselves and gamble using our exist money because once we get money from our daily need and play gambling because we have the mindset that once we bet we will win then that's a bad idea as we all know that in the world of gambling  there's no assurance that in everytime we bet we gain money. Because the outcome is very unpredictable.

And most of the time, the outcome went in the other direction, meaning to say that the result is more favorable with the
casino and not on your side.

Better to have the right mindset and I agree when using spare money, you can treat it as part of your enjoyment or a payment of being entertained. Instead of trying your luck to keep seeking for the right patterns and strategy to increase your bankroll.

More on money making mindset will lead you to addiction and chances of having worse experience to the point that someone will
threaten you.

It is very wrong when we are been forced to stop gambling. Gambling is something that we need to decide to stop if we really want to stop gambling but not someone telling us to stop gambling or threatening us in one way or the other to stop gambling.

It might sound wrong to you but there might be certain cases when it has to be done. In the story of OP's friend, I think it's just right and fair that the wife will have to do something drastic in order to make her husband understand how serious the situation is.

I agree with the wife's decision. At least she's giving her husband a chance. She could have just leave him. He has a family and he's been secretly wasting money on gambling. That shouldn't be condoned. That's a kind of irresponsibility that could destroy the entire family.

Gambling is something that we need to decide to stop if we really want to stop gambling but not someone telling us to stop gambling or threatening us in one way or the other to stop gambling. There are people that gamble for fun like you are hi but it is not good when we become too focus as a gambler. Gambling is not something we need to do with our common sense and we should not become too focus and addicted to it like the way many of us see gambling to be an activities that we needed to engage in that will give us the kind of profits that we want.

Indeed, sometimes there are gamblers who do it because they just want to have fun, but there are also many who gamble hoping to make a lot of money and that is what sometimes makes people misinterpret the existing perception. I think if gamblers make bets continuously it will not be good and will actually destroy their mentality and life. I think maybe we should be able to limit gambling activities and replace it with healing in a cool and quiet place so that we will get a clear mind.

They can continue to play without going to end it , they just need to disciplined themselves and they need to make sure they will not surpass their limits and it won't hurt their family as well because sometimes they will think that it can be a passive income so they will bet and bet until they don't have money anymore , I remember my uncle's friend who has been arrested because he is being reported by someone who he took a loan.

Indeed! It will be a much different scenario if you were the one who have to make a choice because your marriage is now on the line because of your gambling habit, that kind of situation can be avoided though if the OP's friend is mature enough to confess what he is doing because in marriage, it's all about transparency because surely you don't want the same thing to happen to you because your wife is having a secret without your knowledge. We never know but there is a huge chance that your wife will understand you and let you be you, it's just that the wife was overwhelmed about what she just knew.

responding to the OP story, it's actually only natural for his wife to give a warning like that because a wife wants the best for her family and he as a husband has the responsibility to provide for his wife and children, not just wasting his time and money on gambling. so I don't really think his wife is selfish but she wants a better future with her husband.
but sometimes someone who is already addicted to them will continue to gamble without thinking about who will block him and what's worse can leave his wife for gambling.

That is not a good habit or let say that is not a good mindset because gambling can not provide daily income and we are all know that everyone of of us who try to gamble we can not get a consistent income unlike in our daily jobs. But gambling can make us happy or let say gambling can be a stress reliever cause we all know once we can win we can think that( This is it, we are going to bet more and win more. But in reality we can not predict the  outcome.

[slapper]

That's the why a a gambler we need to have a peaceful mindset which is we need to control ourselves and gamble using our exist money because once we get money from our daily need and play gambling because we have the mindset that once we bet we will win then that's a bad idea as we all know that in the world of gambling  there's no assurance that in everytime we bet we gain money.

That's why we have self-control so we don't spend much money on gambling. Gambling is okay, but with good self-control, we can manage spending. And for married people, you should really manage family expenses and not interfere with family finances just to gamble and chase victory. We will never always be able to win so we have to remember that and only gamble for fun. Every time we gamble, we can win or lose, so if we manage spending for gambling, we won't have any difficulties.

You've painted the situation in stark, binary terms: exercise self-discipline, keep an eye on your budget, and don't let gaming drain your savings. Good work, however I'd argue it's too simplistic. Although self-restraint is essential, maybe the problem has more systemic causes. It's interesting how people are expected to take responsibility for their own actions yet the institutions that encourage harmful ones are often ignored. What if we imagined a society in which gambling was not the norm and where people were actively encouraged to seek excitement in other ways? While we're on the subject of absurdity, think about the thrill of placing a wager on whether or not the sun will shine the following day, or the mirth of losing a wager on whether a leaf will fall from a tree. What a wide range of emotions, from elation to despair, would be available to test. In the end, isn't real triumph found in knowing one's own limitations and accepting life's uncertainty?

This is quite interesting to me because where I live many households are destroyed because of gambling. Whether you realize it or not, the problem here is that my work as an Exchanger provides withdrawal and deposit services (24 hours a day). Of course, I don't aim to facilitate people's gambling.

This scenario continued when many residents blamed me. But I only work and don't know when many of them make cash deposits/withdrawals for gambling activities. Thus causing tension between me and the gambler's wife. Regarding this thread, it is almost the same case, so I also asked the preacher a question and wanted to hear other people's views.

If the problem is like the one above, am I here in the wrong position?

I believe the guy in the story also had everything covered, there were no issues related to finances in their household, and his wife was probably getting enough for herself and to run the house, but what was broken was her trust and that was definitely the reason why she decided to do something like this because we all know that women react a bit differently about every situation, sometimes their reactions are too harsh, sometimes very soft and sometimes surprising as well.

I personally don't blame the lady for taking such a step because she probably had believed in him her whole life and definitely didn't expect to come to know about something this shocking which the husband has been keeping from her and never ever told her what he has been doing on her back.

Actually, this is communication between us and our families and not hiding our activities in gambling. If they find out we gamble and know we can control our gambling, they may accept it and stay with us so we don't cross the line. But it will be difficult if we decide to make gambling a source of income because it will be difficult to get it. Self-control is really needed so without having self-control, we will only experience big loss. And what is even worse, we can develop a severe gambling addiction.

That's what we have to know, learn, and do so that we don't experience any problems with gambling. But sadly, many people are compelled to gamble more so they will spend more money. They would even secretly use money for their families and not tell the truth. And when the family finds out, it will cause anger and maybe they will threaten us to stop immediately. And when that person loves his family more, he can stop and leave gambling. But if not, he would still be gambling secretly. But actually, we don't need to feel threatened by other people to stop, but it requires awareness from us to stop gambling.

We are been threatened to stop gambling only when we are observed making loses in every game we stake although it is not something expected to be gaining always that is why it is termed GAMBLING. I can remember while we were still kids our parents would not want to see us in any gambling hall and will even threaten to disown us at a point if you are been caught gambling you will be troubled and may even decide not to go home but as time goes on they began to understand the reasons for our interest in gambling and also discovered that we were never addict but risk takers

I am agree with this Some gamblers not an addict but a risk taker because they will bet their money in casino so that they can win a good amount and have enough money for their needs which is still a pretty good mindset.  But in the other hand gambling is unpredictable and if your aim is to win but there's a small percentage of winning then after your loss you will bet again and again until you realize that so much money you've been loss.

I think that disowning one child for that reason is going a little bit too far, from my point of view.  Perhaps, It is something I would expect to see in families which have very deep religious roots, both Islamic and Christian. Actually, very conversative Christians do not allow their children to play table games which those include a dice, because in their eyes, their children and being slowly being pushed towards gambling through Monopoly, Ludo, etc. To me does not make much sense, but to each their own...

There are really religious families that don't allow their kids to gamble not just totally because of the religious belief but because as parents, they know what's best for their kids since they're aware of its risks.
They might have disowning their children as a threat but I guess it's just their way of warning their children to stay away from gambling. However, I don't think they would still that to their adult children especially f they could see that they're gambling respnsibly.

Comparing up in between experiences and real life situations awareness then we parents or adults does have that different level when it comes to this on which it would be normal that we do know on whats best for our children if ever we do have our own family. Threatening is really one of the most common way for parents on giving out warning into their children which i wont say its a bad way or method on doing so but the best thing or add up is on teaching them about the cons and effects if ever there's someone who would really be engaging to it. On the time that they would really be fully aware about those risks then it would common sensibly they would
avoid it on the time that they would really be able to encounter it. It is really just a matter on how you would really be handling out on every meme of your family. If it turns out that you are the ones who are addicted
and you haven't been telling your wife about spending or savings on the money you are using on gambling then it would really be creating such conflict and if you dont like on getting those warnings
or threats on being leaved behind then better to be transparent when it comes to finances because women are really that keen when it comes to this regard.

Sometimes I feel it is rather about keeping their religious values close to them. In the case of muslims, I think there could be some of them which are aware one can gamble responsibly but choose not to do so because what their sacred book, the Koran, says.

In the case of Christianity is more flexible, as it depends on the particular ramification of Christianity ones belongs to, the conservative Christians would go as far as forbidding gambling, alcohol and even look at women who one could find attractive.

In my personal opinion, it would better if one just explain the facts to one's children using some simple mathematics and when they grow up, then explain the laws of probabilities to them.

This happens and recently one incident that took place in Nigeria is posted on our forum. The son have won a jackpot out of gambling, and his father requested him to give it back to the gambling company. The son did so, and more discussion came out of it. What might be the reason behind the father's decision. It can be to teach the kid about the value of money, gambling is against religious belief, he might get addicted and never focus on work and lead the life. Many things and the very primary one is to make the kid understand the negative part of gambling which we won't realise at the beginning.

Very interesting. This is probably due to religious prohibitions because I know that Islam forbids gambling. maybe the boy's father hates gambling and hates gambling money so he couldn't accept his son's win. To be honest, I have never seen a case where someone after winning a gamble returned the money back to the company. and I don't know how that money is returned to this gambling company after winning the gambling. If the money is deposited on the gambling site, the money will not be added to the company's wallet but to a personal centralized wallet if he use a online casilo. but if he use offline casino then it is possible to return but i am confused that company will return the money because it may hurt their reputation

                            I wasn't threaten by anybody but Myself ,


 Back in the days when i am still super active in Physical gambling (as I live in a community where gambling is bread and butter and part of daily living)

there comes a time when i am thinking of what will happen to me and my family in the future as I never win big and keep losing .

my weekly payroll has been spending and risking for gambling and ending we only have enough for table and no savings at all.

then crypto come to my life in which made easy for me to connect in gambling but realized that I am missing more than half of my life , that is when i start accumulating crypto and lessen my gambling vices , and yes now I only gamble when i have spare money and not to seek to become instant millionaire .

Congratulations on your mind triumphing over the desire to get rich quick. Not all gamblers can make it.

I also had a time when I spent a lot of money on gambling because I could not control my desires. I realized that I was overstepping my bounds but gambling had a greater influence on me. Over time I learned to control myself and gamble for fun. But it took me a year.

it is really hard triumphant journey mate  but if we will only open our mind and soul we will find reason how to win over .
if we will consider those people who loves us and those people that rely on us? not to count our own future?
those reasons are more than enough to be a winner in your own battle.

We are on a journey to have a good life for ourselves. We know what's right and wrong, it's our decision to either go the right or wrong path. Gambling should never be a source of income, because it's not reliable and can put one under pressure within hours or days. Facing threats to stop gambling, that incidence possibility is just 10% because my family doesn't bother to ask what you're doing except when you're not contributing anything to the family, only then their questions arises, they become more curious on what's hindering you from generating reasonable finances.

[lienfaye]

There are really religious families that don't allow their kids to gamble not just totally because of the religious belief but because as parents, they know what's best for their kids since they're aware of its risks.
They might have disowning their children as a threat but I guess it's just their way of warning their children to stay away from gambling. However, I don't think they would still that to their adult children especially f they could see that they're gambling respnsibly. Parents only want to protect their family because they know how gambling abuse could ruin lives

If you're not earning your own money yet and still relying on your parents for finances, you should not gamble. Because that money is probably meant for your studies or other needs and not to be spend in gambling. It's quite normal for parents to be strict since gambling can really influence us negatively if we can't control ourselves. Especially if you're still a student, it can affect your studies once you became hooked to this activity.

So don't wait to be threaten by your loved ones. Be open and listen because they're just concern.

I guess that no one can threat gamblers to stop the gamble. Usually, the gamblers are daring and if you argue with them, they may become furious and they may threaten you instead of you threatening them 

My point of view is that you cannot stop anyone from gambling by threatening him. He/She may agree to quit gambling for the time being but will again gamble or maybe gamble hiddenly. The only way to stop people from becoming gambling addicts is to tell them nicely the bad effects of gambling and let them decide to quit or continue.

But these children can be influenced by their environment where many of their friends often play with them so that it can make them tempted to try it. This happened so often in many places that the children became curious about gambling and finally tried it with little money. But I'm sure if the parents are really able to educate their children well, their children will not be tempted and curious about gambling because they know that it is not good for them.

But if this is husband and wife, they must be open to each other, and there is no need for anything to be hidden because their partner accompanies them every day. After all, they will find out later, and if they find out, this can trigger a fight and cause problems that eventually end in divorce.

[wiss19]

We are been threatened to stop gambling only when we are observed making loses in every game we stake although it is not something expected to be gaining always that is why it is termed GAMBLING. I can remember while we were still kids our parents would not want to see us in any gambling hall and will even threaten to disown us at a point if you are been caught gambling you will be troubled and may even decide not to go home but as time goes on they began to understand the reasons for our interest in gambling and also discovered that we were never addict but risk takers

You were lucky if that was the case, our parents wouldn't even let us play with cards saying that it is not a good thing even when we didn't have anything on a bet which means it is just a simple game and not gambling if they would see us gambling somewhere, that would be the day when we used to know what will happen when we go home, you can't survive the anger of the parents after something like that, and they will surely beat you up when you are back home.

But, we actually never gambled when were kids, we did use to play with cards but we never wagered money on it because it was not allowed and we were also not interested and we used to do that only to pass our time and not to gamble and win each others money since it used to be us cousins only.

In order to gamble at minimum we need three things, they are the mental maturity to gamble, understanding of the probabilities behind the games and our own money, and it is obvious a kid or a young person does not has a single one of the minimum requirements to gamble.

As they are not mature enough to take decisions with their money, they do not understand gambling at all and they do not even have their own money, as whatever money they have on hand was given to them by their parents with an express purpose, so it is obvious they should stay away from gambling until they fulfill those requirements.

Now a smart phone is enough for gambling so it is possible to gamble blindly if one gambles in his spare time.  But if someone is addicted to gambling, the addicted gambler gambles for long hours every day due to which his gambling is revealed to his family and relatives. And then he is put under a lot of pressure from his family and relatives and everyone starts to dislike him because gambling is not a good thing in the eyes of the society.

But we don't know for sure if if it's the case in the OP. We know that wife of the OP's friend thinks "he's spending a lot of time gambling". If you gamble 2-3 hours per week it may look to your relatives as "a lot of time". Don't get me wrong, I think that most probably, OP's friend is a problem gambler. I just want to say that that's not necessarily the case.

Gambling 2-3 hours a week is very common because it is very short time. which is 25-26 minutes per day. In this short period of time it is possible to gamble away from people's eyes because gambling can be done very easily on a smartphone and anywhere. by following this strategy no one will become addicted to gambling and no one will even know about it. and it doesn't even require threats from anyone. But if a person gambles for a long time then he becomes addicted and everyone knows about his gambling in which case he may face threats from his relatives or family members

To be honest it's a short amount of time even or a non-addict. It's just like you play a one game on of your favorite online game, it is that short to be honest. I think I can't consider playing 30 mins a day an addict, I can see that person as a regular gambler who are just trying to do a past time or finding entertainment on gambling. If we recieve such threats, it's not worth it, I would probably stop doing gambling if I'm not that addicted but yeah there are people who are addicted that even a threat won't faze them.

Because it can't be considered a stable income, but maybe because of gambling we can do things that we can destroy that we don't expect such as friends or family that a gambler has and usually this happens when a gambler has an addiction.

People just can't understand and accept that gambling cannot be steady income. Thing that will enable you steady income are aklways boring things like working if you are not rich person. When one guy mentioned here that most of professional gamblers cannot even get steady income I was very surprised. I thought they were luckier part of spectrum. But even they can't make money through gambling adventure. So its crystal clear: Gambling should be seen as game, if you are a gambler you must present it something similar to "gamer".

It seems that what most bothered his wife was the fact he was losing huge sums of money gambling and the situation where he won a decent sum playing in the past, but didn't tell her about his winnings. So she felt deceived by him, because they are a couple and technically it's expected to share important events which happen in our life with each other. The point that he was spending a long time gambling must be a secondary issue on this case. He could be playing for long hours, but still not losing big money or sharing with his wife how much he has been making or losing, so she would feel more confident gambling isn't harmful to their marriage relationship and mutual trust.

Well, what i do think is that, any body who is really serious with making head ways in life will not make the mistake of seeing on depending on gambling as a major source of income, even though its not against the rule or a crime to expect making money from gambling, we should never allow gambling take the place of our daily job or business, doing so is just the same as one living his or her live by chance, just the same way that winning on most games in gambling is by chance, most especially slot and original casino games.

20-30 minutes of gambling a day is nothing serious and dangerous (if it doesn't lead to a desire to gamble and spend more), but if his wife has already encountered gamblers in her life, she may think otherwise. As everyone knows, relatives of alcoholics/drug addicts who have experienced the horrors of severe forms of addiction are extremely negative about even "responsible" use, the same with gambling.

Yes, that's right. There are people who will continue playing even there's an already threat and they will not mind it as they will
wanted to fill what they wanted.

People who already have a deep engagement with gambling are hard to change mind, whatever the reason behind it, they will
insist on the needs of playing/betting.

Most of the time, those are people who turned themselves into addicted gambler, tough to convince to stop.

I am not sure I would agree with the 20-30 minutes of gambling as a good rule of thumb. If you manage to lose your daily salary in those 20-30 minutes on a daily basis, it is not a very good idea to consider the 20-30 minutes as nothing serious or dangerous. To tell whether gambling is harmful for someone's life, I think financial and especially existential consequences are what's important. Sure social consequences are as well, for example when somebody doesn't really lose any money, but locks himself away for 8 hours a day just for gambling. But bad financial consequences are what destroys life in all regards.

[ethereumhunter]

That's right. People who have gambled for a long time and may already be addicted to gambling will not want to listen to other people's advice or words because gambling is an important thing that can give them pleasure. They also don't care about threats from other people, even from their wives, to stop gambling immediately because they already think that gambling is a part of themselves that is difficult to separate. If that happens, maybe the only way for them is to divorce because his wife can't see her family going bankrupt and destroyed. After all, her husband doesn't want to listen to her advice. Her husband also cannot stop gambling or at least tries to reduce his gambling so that if his husband continues to gamble, he can experience a loss he never imagined.

I thought it was obvious, so I did not specify this option separately  As for the social/existential consequences, this is a complex topic - and it can be applied to any hobby or kind of action (or even inaction - like a girl choosing to live for herself, without family and children). I think in such topics it is generally impossible to come to some kind of "common/rational" opinion.

[348Judah]

If you're not earning your own money yet and still relying on your parents for finances, you should not gamble.

Good point, in situations like this, it is strongly advised to stop gambling or not to even start because one is not yet independent financially, if a child get used to gambling being dependent, he may try to steal from his parents whenever he want to gamble and have no money.

Because that money is probably meant for your studies or other needs and not to be spend in gambling.

Many gamblers have been found in many related issues associated to fund mismanagement and diversion on gambling when the money is targeted for their school fees or money belonging to other people in their possession, but when someone knows how hard it is to earn money, they value it and make good utilization of it, even if they gambles, it will be on caution.

 

[darewaller]

If you're not earning your own money yet and still relying on your parents for finances, you should not gamble. Because that money is probably meant for your studies or other needs and not to be spend in gambling. It's quite normal for parents to be strict since gambling can really influence us negatively if we can't control ourselves. Especially if you're still a student, it can affect your studies once you became hooked to this activity.

So don't wait to be threaten by your loved ones. Be open and listen because they're just concern.

There are intelligent or genius kids. These kids can act or think maturely. It's also possible for our kids to be taught about the risks in gambling. Lastly, we can give money to our kids as a gift, not only for their birthdays but also if they do something great like having a perfect score in their exams. These money can now be considered as their own and they can now spend it to any things that they like.

I think there is no such law that says that we must only gamble using our own funds. There's even some who steal, ask money to someone else, and borrow money to a lending platform just to play gambling, however some gambling places has a minimum age requirement.

[Sakanwa]

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

This is a very interesting topic,and this kind of topic can only be ralated to gamblers who are addicted to the game,and are finding it difficult to stop.In my own case,it was something I could handle because I am the one in control of my relationship, therefore,my partner has no right of quiting because she is truely in love and doesn't want to lose me by telling me she doesn't want again.I didn't hide the fact that I am a gambler,I told her because I never wanted to hide anything from her,but we started having issues when she started noticing that I was loosing a lot of money,and each time I lost those money I would be in an angry and aggressive mood through out the day.She told me I should quit gambling before It would become an addition,she never knew I was addicted already.Because she loved me,she didn't bring any issue up,but she was very observant,and noticed that anytime my mood is bad,it's simply because I have lost money for that day.She was patient with me untill I was able to reduce it to the extend that she no longer notices when I am in a bad mood and when I'm not.

But if a person gambles for a long time then he becomes addicted and everyone knows about his gambling in which case he may face threats from his relatives or family members

20-30 minutes of gambling a day is nothing serious and dangerous (if it doesn't lead to a desire to gamble and spend more), but if his wife has already encountered gamblers in her life, she may think otherwise. As everyone knows, relatives of alcoholics/drug addicts who have experienced the horrors of severe forms of addiction are extremely negative about even "responsible" use, the same with gambling.

I am not sure I would agree with the 20-30 minutes of gambling as a good rule of thumb. If you manage to lose your daily salary in those 20-30 minutes on a daily basis, it is not a very good idea to consider the 20-30 minutes as nothing serious or dangerous. To tell whether gambling is harmful for someone's life, I think financial and especially existential consequences are what's important. Sure social consequences are as well, for example when somebody doesn't really lose any money, but locks himself away for 8 hours a day just for gambling. But bad financial consequences are what destroys life in all regards.

Lol  Gambling for more than 20-30 minutes a day is bound to make a person deeply addicted to gambling. and no matter how expert a person is at gambling, if he gambles for a long time every day, he will panic at some point and face huge financial losses. So I don't recommend gambling for more than 20-30 minutes per day. It is also fatal if one is a regular gambler who will fall into a sort of void if he wants to quit gambling. So instead of gambling every day it is better to take a break and play 2-3 days a week

[wxa7115]

In order to gamble at minimum we need three things, they are the mental maturity to gamble, understanding of the probabilities behind the games and our own money, and it is obvious a kid or a young person does not has a single one of the minimum requirements to gamble.

As they are not mature enough to take decisions with their money, they do not understand gambling at all and they do not even have their own money, as whatever money they have on hand was given to them by their parents with an express purpose, so it is obvious they should stay away from gambling until they fulfill those requirements.

There are intelligent or genius kids. These kids can act or think maturely. It's also possible for our kids to be taught about the risks in gambling. Lastly, we can give money to our kids as a gift, not only for their birthdays but also if they do something great like having a perfect score in their exams. These money can now be considered as their own and they can now spend it to any things that they like.

I think there is no such law that says that we must only gamble using our own funds. There's even some who steal, ask money to someone else, and borrow money to a lending platform just to play gambling, however some gambling places has a minimum age requirement.

Laws and regulations should be made thinking about the average person, are there kids out there which are more mature than some adults I have meet through my life? Yes, but they are an exception.

And even if you were to give them money with no express purpose there must still be limitations about how they may use it, not only the ones established by the law, which do not allow minors to gamble anyway, but also those which arise from our common sense, which should also should not allow any form of gambling even the kind you can find on video games these days.

Gambling is not about the time; rather, it is about the odds and games that are highlighted to be precisely measured with one's forecast. Addiction is rampant in the gambling sector; I've encountered numerous gamblers who want to quit but don't know how; it's understandable. Gamblers confront threats at some point, either as a result of upcoming debts or as a result of their responsibilities. In general, there are always ways to generate multiple channels of income, because relying on only one would be detrimental, as they would have to face the realities of life and cope with it.

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

Never that I experienced threats from anyone just because of gambling but there is a friend of mine that has this situation like yours , actually it was not His wife but His parents that threaten Him to make Him leave the house and will not giving Him anything because of his constant gambling in which a not allowed in their religion .
and yes since he did not listen ,  he become Homeless after a week when we spoke.
but Good thing that he learned his lesson and after couple of months His parents forgive Him with a promise to never gamble again and yes now he is a spiritual leader as we speak here.

Yes, maybe each player will have a different ability to play, other players have the ability to last a long time because they are not busy people but only have a small financial capacity, so they always play with a minimum bet, but some have a limited of time because they are busy with many other activities, but when it comes to money, these people have a lot of money, so when playing they will immediately use large bets.
In my opinion, it is not how long it takes to play that can lead a person to fall into addiction but what percentage of his financial ability is used for gambling, if the player plays using more than 50% of his financial ability then even though he only plays once a week but directly with that percentage then sooner or later he will eventually have financial difficulties and without being forced by others he will stop gambling because his financial abilities are decreasing over time.

regarding your friend problem it seems very sad because he is dealing with his own parents which is clear that parents want the best for their children but in reality he is still gambling even though his parents have threatened him. but after all, his parents still have the kindness that is willing to forgive their children for giving a chance and I think if your friend is gambling again, it means he is a stupid child who is disobedient to his parents.

maybe OP story is that he deals with his wife which is not too complicated and everything can be rearranged so that it will be fine even though he is still gambling secretly but dealing with parents will be very difficult and I hope your friends have to stop gambling even though it will be very difficult but this is about respecting parents.

If I became OP maybe I would stop gambling to honor my parents, because of course as long as they are alive I have to be devoted to them before they actually go see our good behavior obey them, but it would be very sad if they go see our behavior or bad behavior towards them. there is nothing wrong with listening to parents for our own good.

But if only pressured by our wives we can still talk about it well as long as we trust our wives to manage our finances so we don't get too careless and become heavy addicts in gambling, that's why it's important to communicate and be honest with those closest to us like wives so there won't be any misunderstandings let alone gambling secretly it won't be good in the end. believe that gambling honestly will be better

To be honest, I totally understand this guy's wife. If my girlfriend(I don't have a gf right now) was secretly gambling and losing lots of money, I might also threaten her to stop gambling. Keeping such secrets while being in a relationship is kinda toxic. On the other hand, I might also keep my gambling habits a secret, if I was in such situation. Many people might freak out, if they find out that their significant other is a gambler.
Nobody would ever threaten me to stop gambling, because:
1.I don't tell anybody in my social circle that I gamble.
2.I would never spend big amounts and make my gambling loses into a serious problem.

[Betwrong]

But we don't know for sure if if it's the case in the OP. We know that wife of the OP's friend thinks "he's spending a lot of time gambling". If you gamble 2-3 hours per week it may look to your relatives as "a lot of time". Don't get me wrong, I think that most probably, OP's friend is a problem gambler. I just want to say that that's not necessarily the case.

Gambling 2-3 hours a week is very common because it is very short time. which is 25-26 minutes per day. In this short period of time it is possible to gamble away from people's eyes because gambling can be done very easily on a smartphone and anywhere. by following this strategy no one will become addicted to gambling and no one will even know about it. and it doesn't even require threats from anyone. But if a person gambles for a long time then he becomes addicted and everyone knows about his gambling in which case he may face threats from his relatives or family members

I still think that even if you gamble only 2-3 hours a week, your close ones, especially your wife, should know about it. If you start concealing things, just small things like healthy gambling, you may start concealing bigger things in the future. Turning into addicted gambler from regular gambling is rare, but it can happen, and it's better when close ones know about your problem.

In my opinion, this is most likely the case with the OP's friend.

[LUCKMCFLY]

We are been threatened to stop gambling only when we are observed making loses in every game we stake although it is not something expected to be gaining always that is why it is termed GAMBLING. I can remember while we were still kids our parents would not want to see us in any gambling hall and will even threaten to disown us at a point if you are been caught gambling you will be troubled and may even decide not to go home but as time goes on they began to understand the reasons for our interest in gambling and also discovered that we were never addict but risk takers

I think that disowning one child for that reason is going a little bit too far, from my point of view.  Perhaps, It is something I would expect to see in families which have very deep religious roots, both Islamic and Christian. Actually, very conversative Christians do not allow their children to play table games which those include a dice, because in their eyes, their children and being slowly being pushed towards gambling through Monopoly, Ludo, etc. To me does not make much sense, but to each their own...

There are really religious families that don't allow their kids to gamble not just totally because of the religious belief but because as parents, they know what's best for their kids since they're aware of its risks.
They might have disowning their children as a threat but I guess it's just their way of warning their children to stay away from gambling. However, I don't think they would still that to their adult children especially f they could see that they're gambling respnsibly. Parents only want to protect their family because they know how gambling abuse could ruin lives

This happens and recently one incident that took place in Nigeria is posted on our forum. The son have won a jackpot out of gambling, and his father requested him to give it back to the gambling company. The son did so, and more discussion came out of it. What might be the reason behind the father's decision. It can be to teach the kid about the value of money, gambling is against religious belief, he might get addicted and never focus on work and lead the life. Many things and the very primary one is to make the kid understand the negative part of gambling which we won't realise at the beginning.

I know that in each of our cultures there are many rules and many values that sometimes it doesn't make sense that someone can be penalized, except someone who is your own child, I really wouldn't do it, first, because he earned it, second, It's his luck, if I don't celebrate his luck and his achievements, then what am I in this world for him? It doesn't make sense to me, I don't agree with these things about how the father acted, besides, who does he look good with? casino games, sports betting, this is not a bad influence, nor is it a bad activity, sometimes we ourselves make something look bad that is quite normal.

Depending on where they grow up, each person has their customs and that is respectable, but when it comes to prizes or something that can be won , I don't see anything wrong with it, it is normal , there is no reason to fall as if it were something so bad, here are the things must be done correctly, the son did not steal, he won, he did not do anything that was outside the rules, this is something that should be known , in some cases Gambling can cause addiction problems, but in this case It wasn't even close to something like that, I don't see anything wrong with it.

For now, the things that can be caused is that gambling with respect to how the person acted, should be made aware and take this as an Example of things that should not be done, this is essential when it comes to seeing the game as something It's not bad, it's simple, it has a means of diversion and some earn or lose money, there's nothing bad there, no laws are broken, in some countries it's illegal, since nothing should be done there , but the game It is an Activity where you have to have responsibility, moderation and a lot of peace of mind, because what you are risking is money, apart from all this, those who have the absolute responsibility of doing things well are Ourselves , that is the power of games in casinos , and to make Sports Bets.

The problem here is not gambling by itself, instead the problem is that the friend of the OP is gambling and losing a lot of money on the activity.

And this is without a doubt a problem as when it comes to small expenses then it is natural that partners in a relationship will have the liberty to spend a small amount of money without telling their significant other about it, but when it comes to a big amount of money then both parties need to be aware of it, and if that is not the case then this is a breach of trust from which it may be impossible to recover if measures are not taken to do something about it.

Small but frequent expenses, over time, can become big, especially if he uses it for gambling. Previously he only used small money, but because he lost, he deposited another small amount, lost again, and deposited another small amount. It's the same as depositing big money but divided into small amounts.

Yes, when there is a breach of trust from their partner, it will trigger a fight because that person can no longer keep their trust. Perhaps, once or twice, it's okay, but if it happens a lot and nothing changes, it will impact his family relationship and both of them.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

This always come from parents and wives. When you are still under the control of your parents and you are going to school (tertiary institution) and they know that you are gambling, they will threatened him to stop and if he will not stop then they will also stop paying his school fees and with that fear the person will limit his visiting time to the betting halls and hide himself to play gamble. I have not been threatened to stop gambling. And this threaten happened to those who always gamble. And not on the occasional gamblers.

Yeah if you are having a strong ties whether it is for your parents or relatives expect that they will threaten you to stop especially if it is against their belief, so I think if you have your own life and own house and there's nothing to be bothered enough or nothing to taken care of it is much easier to play, we live in a world of judgemental people where gamblers are all being treated as addicts.

I don't think that the threatening from the wife or girlfriend is because of the amount of money one has been spending on their gambling activities, but it is about the fact that they've been hiding it from them since the beginning, and when you are in a relationship, you ought to not hide anything with each other, and if you have been keeping a secret for such a long time, especially if you are married and she's not just your girlfriend, the threatening I would say is a lenient reaction to that.

If I, being a man, come to know that my wife has been doing something on my back for a very long time and never once told me anything about it, I'm pretty sure that my reaction will be way more than just threatening her to stop doing that because this is totally breaking your trust.

Well, living for the money from your parents and gambling at the same time is a horrible thing to do. Same as when living from your wife's money(Don't tell me that there's no one, living from their wife's money). Gambling is an entertainment. An expensive one sometimes. Is it morally correct to spend someone else's money on your expensive whims? And I want to add that if you are earning money by yourself and you have small kids, it's their money too. Don't forget about that.

[topbitcoin]

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

For me personally, I have never been threatened by anyone because I have never told my gambling activities to either my girlfriend or family. but I once threatened myself to stop gambling.

Situations like this can happen when I experience a big loss so that I threaten myself personally to break away from the world of gambling. But I can't because part of my fun is in gambling.

This made me think repeatedly that I would leave gambling because I could find no other pleasure apart from betting, so the steps I took were to improve my skills in gambling and absorb as much information as possible so that I could analyze it as best I could in order to increase my chances. in sports betting.

In addition, I can manage my finances when gambling because I have gained experience in the form of previous incidents when playing gambling.

if for example you are in a situation like this what will you do, will you stop your gambling activities or improve your skills when betting.?

[Shinpako09]

I haven't been threatened because my gambling addiction isn't severe and I won't let myself go that far. Simply because I've been gambling for so long, I know how it works, and going too far won't help. So going to the point where a threat will come from individuals close to me will not happen.

With experience, you will be able to assess on your own if you are already exceeded from your usual habits,
something that you earn from doing it in a longer time frame.

It's good if you have that control and there's no need to wait for someone to tell you that you are not in the right directions
to the point that they will going to threaten you just for you to stop your gambling activities.

We are responsibilities to take cate of. I do gamble but more often, knowing the social finance status, ready to take things to the next level. Knowing about gambling is one thing; understanding how it works is quite another. The primary functions that would clear the way for tremendous riches. We are threatened by the crucial factors circumstance around us; it is basically not a solid pavement, but we are left with no other options but to gamble and make cool cash. Faced with gambling threats, of course I would not allow it to come to that, firmly adopting rules that would benefit and bring targets closer connected.

that's good. even if you often gamble and you can say you are not addicted yet, but you have good control because before that you already know how gambling works and what you have to do you already know beforehand so you are not too addicted and there won't even be a threat from anyone because Im sure people like you can separate time for gambling and with family or with friends.
I really appreciate people who are like this because it is difficult to control themselves and understand how gambling works and they prefer to take risks and always choose not to be able to control their emotions. because in this situation any gambler will definitely be very bad because they always bet and lose after that gamble every day without thinking about the people around who cause threats to come to stop your gambling.

It's good if you haven't felt threatened and told to stop gambling and you should have kept it up so you don't get addicted to gambling. But out there, I think some people have been threatened to quit because their gambling is already severe and require them to stop immediately. Otherwise, they can develop a severe gambling addiction. And those who are not yet at the point of being threatened have to be able to keep themselves from crossing those boundaries because we won't be able to realize if we have crossed the boundaries. Only other people can see it.

Damaged self-esteem is one of the most common consequences of infidelity. The person suddenly feels incomplete, unprepared, and wonders why their partner chose someone else. Therefore, being aware of the possible consequences of infidelity will help you avoid actions that you may later regret. But not all forms of gambling give people fun or enjoyment. Life gambling is a defined activity. But those who do not have an innate desire to win at gambling, greed usually works in them, so even after losing, they keep making bigger bets. Then lost and destitute which attacks the family. It is very difficult to give exact instructions on winning in gambling it is based on luck.

Maybe it's because there is no communication or honesty with their partner about what they often do but just hiding it from their partner. And I think it will only cause problems in the future, especially if they are gambling but turns out to be caught by their partner and will cause a fight between them. This can become a mess in their family and spread to their extended family when people around them also know about the problem. So we shouldn't be threatened to stop gambling and do it before it's too late because if it's too late, we will get bigger problems that can lead to divorce.

Usually people do weekend party with the Jack game is the common thing,we had a friend of four member to play card in the weekends.Actually it’s offline gambling,because we the real money for the game.Every one had their chance of winning based on the cards delivered to them and the show of card using least possibility.My personal experience is my mom found I had use of gambling over a year,at first she thought I was playing online games on my free times of work.But actually I had loss huge money in last year,So I had rarely take part in the monthly expenses of my family.This was the key factor for my mom to find I had involved in gambling.Then she called me and stop the gambling.Then I stopped to play gambling in the home and use my office time to gambling and my friends home are my spot.

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

This usually occurs when a family member discovers that you've been spend recklessly and that in return is affecting your financial stability therefore would come up with different strategies or ideas even it means involving emotional blackmails to help change the person, but in that case his wife is right because as a man and head of the family it's your duty to be financially stable to cater for your families needs and spending recklessly or losing alot of money to gambling when you have a family to feed is not fair, it unnecessary and uncalled for because if you go bankrupt it would really have a negative impact on the family.
 I think most times it's people that have affected their families with their gambling addiction that are mostly threatened to stop, when they don't have any other options or way of  helping them change, and in my own case im not an addict and barely give all my attention to gambling cause i have other important activities to carry out, anyways when i got my first profit from gambling i disclosed it to my siblings and they where shocked at first that i was able to make good predictions but later advised me on the negative effects of gambling and not to take it very seriously.

I haven't been threatened because my gambling addiction isn't severe and I won't let myself go that far. Simply because I've been gambling for so long, I know how it works, and going too far won't help. So going to the point where a threat will come from individuals close to me will not happen.

      -    We are the same in another angle of what you said, though, I also gamble but I never let it lead me to become addicted to gambling. That is unlikely to happen to me. Because as long as we can control and discipline ourselves in gambling, it will never happen that we end up in that situation.

And this is really what a normal gambler should do, because if it can't be done, it will be a threat to a gambler in the coming days or every time he plays in a casino

I also had a story like this when my girlfriend found out that I was participating in the crypto market, and she was very angry about it. She said that I had just one choice: either her or continue with crypto. I was so confused at that moment, but I decided to continue with crypto and told her to give me 3 months to prove that this market is good for investing and our future life if we make sensible investments, not gamble. And now, she completely believes in me and supports me so much.

Nope because no one knows I'm a gambler, I only gamble in my room and I always clear my browsing history, so if someone access my cellphone or PC, they will not find if I was access a gambling site.

Maybe you are single and haven't had a wife yet. If not, every one of your single actions will be detected immediately, even if you always clear your browsing history. Wives are very good at sniffing out things.

And this is without a doubt a problem as when it comes to small expenses then it is natural that partners in a relationship will have the liberty to spend a small amount of money without telling their significant other about it, but when it comes to a big amount of money then both parties need to be aware of it, and if that is not the case then this is a breach of trust from which it may be impossible to recover if measures are not taken to do something about it.

Small but frequent expenses, over time, can become big, especially if he uses it for gambling. Previously he only used small money, but because he lost, he deposited another small amount, lost again, and deposited another small amount. It's the same as depositing big money but divided into small amounts.

Yes, when there is a breach of trust from their partner, it will trigger a fight because that person can no longer keep their trust. Perhaps, once or twice, it's okay, but if it happens a lot and nothing changes, it will impact his family relationship and both of them.

True, small expenses can become a problem if we spend that amount of money too often, but at the same time it is not as if a spouse needs to keep records of all expenses as that will be too overbearing for everyone involved, as now they will not have the liberty to do anything without consulting each other.

So a balance must be reached in which an adequate control over your finances can be established, but doing so without restraining some small freedoms to spend in a thing or two you may want, something which is clear the friend of the OP has failed to establish.

Those small expenses will add up if we don't realize it and stop immediately. And it's best if our expenses can be recorded properly so we can know that we can reduce those expenses and not use the money excessively.

And yes, it may have been a failure for friend @OP but at least he can learn from his mistake and intend to change it to avoid it again. But that requires awareness from @OP friends so they can really reduce their gambling activities and communicate with their partners.

Well, I think you have said all the consequences of when an assignment is acquired, and if you are right they can be like that, in my very personal opinion I am a player who controls very well what is destined to play and lose in a casino For me , if the money that I have destined to use in the casino runs out because I lost it, I will stay away, I will not start inventing more edpepostitar because I will be going against my own rules and that is something that I never want us to be able to and should not do neither in the game nor in the trade.

Now, if a person who has spent their money in the casino and decides to take a loan, it is because that person has the ability to pay in case they lose, whether it be with jewelry, gold, cars, whatever, it is their decision. of the person, now if the person has nothing or capciada of payment, it is a very bad decision to have taken a loan and secondly things should not be done like this because a person who is of legal age and completely of legal age does not have to recriminate nothing, because it was under his decision that they gave him that credit or loan.

In particular, I am a person who would never take a loan to play in a casino. It seems to me the dumbest way to spend money, because it is very difficult to earn with that pressure that the money is lent, I must also emphasize that things are not how people always imagine them, when you take a loan there is the hope of earning the most money, to repay the loan and make a profit, or worse, to go after what you already spent to see if it can be recovered.

I am one of those who think that when there is a lot to spend in a casino, other types of things can be done, but less for a loan because I consider that a loan in a casino is not as necessary as for other things that are necessary, it is In other words, for things that must be paid for health, or emergencies, of course it is my criteria, I don't see any other, but there are some who give priority to casinos and that is respectable, everyone has their criteria.

From what I see, you are a responsible gambler, and you shouldn't be told to stop gambling. But if, being a gambler like you described, a responsible gambler, you would still be threatened "to stop gambling" by your close ones, what would you do? What would you say to them? Because I don't think such people would be convinced by the words above.

Lol, that's funny, you are right that some wives are over-suspicious and they would always be looking for things you might be doing behind their back and if you are actually doing something without telling them and they get to know about it, that will either be the last day for you on earth or you are going to be single again because wives with such natures wouldn't just let things go and move on, they would never forget and you will never be forgiven for what you did.

However, not all of them are the same and there are a lot of wives who are too good with their partners, and if the partners hide something from them and they come to know about it, they will simply threaten them to stop doing that or they will leave and I believe that is a very modest reaction to it.

threatening people, blackmailing people is not a good thing. this type of behavior is unacceptable. I have seen cases in the newspapers and on TV in which the man threatens his wife for her not to go to bars and consume alcohol and when she does not obey then he starts to attack her, and as in many cases the women in my country leave their fathers' houses parents in a very bad way, they fight with their parents to stay with a man, this happens because their parents don't approve of the man she chose and in many cases their parents are right. now something interesting is that when men start to abuse gambling to the point of taking money destined to pay bills and use that money to gamble, when their wives charge and threaten them

men resort to violence against women and it is only after suffering violence for a long time that women decide to leave the man's house, because they realize that the man has no cure anymore, he has reached rock bottom, you see that the woman would be being raped while her sole purpose was to help the man. this also happens with houses where the children are still at their parents' house, the children are lied to that they are paying for college while they are and taking the money to go consume drugs, beer and gambling and when the parents find out and tell them they ask them to stop and change their behavior they don't listen

after some time the parents are left with no choice and send the children away from home, unfortunately when the parents do that, the children destroy their futures forever, they do not recover from the addiction, on the contrary they get worse and the end of them is death, I'm not threatened, I'm not someone who gambles every day, I don't spend a lot of money on gambling, I don't consume alcohol, that's because I lost many relatives because of addiction. So it was a big trauma for me, I always tell myself: I won't follow the same path, I won't follow the same path. I try very hard to have my act of control

[bitcrystal]

the problem here is that he did not let his wife know about it until she found out. telling him to stop is a good thing because she saw some loses which she feels is not good enough especially if it continues and it can affect him and the household at large. i wont be surprised if the wife has been trailing him for a while and expecting maybe the man will tell him about it, some women are like that. if you are gambling and doesn't want anyone else to know should keep it private enough and clear all traces that can make it known. this is an easy thing if you are not addicted.

It's good if you haven't felt threatened and told to stop gambling and you should have kept it up so you don't get addicted to gambling. But out there, I think some people have been threatened to quit because their gambling is already severe and require them to stop immediately. Otherwise, they can develop a severe gambling addiction. And those who are not yet at the point of being threatened have to be able to keep themselves from crossing those boundaries because we won't be able to realize if we have crossed the boundaries. Only other people can see it.

It's very crucial we don't get to the point where we have to be threatened to stop gambling before we stop the habit of unhealthy gambling, because it's only when it becomes unhealthy that their would be threats to stop if that's the only available means to explore and get you to stop, but then if you are gambling responsibly there will be no need to give you a threat so you could stop.

I have never been threatened to stop gambling because I don't make my gambling habit public and I aswell don't allow myself become addicted such that it becomes a problem for me or people around me, so I have never gotten to the point were I even had to stop or forced to but I do take break when ever I feel I'm already loosing so much so I don't have to chase losses.

It's really not a good thing to get to the point where you should be forced, basically try to control your habit and gamble responsibly for your good and that of people around you, don't spend more than 10% of your income on gambling so you don't get to become addicted while trying to make money off gambling and catch the fun and entertainment in the game.

Actually I don’t get any threaten in the gambling,because I don’t accept the words of my wife.But my friend had get big threaten by his wife like she will divorce,if he doesn’t stop the gambling.Because he had loss nearly 4000 dollars in a period of six months in the gambling,actually he doesn’t agree my point of the tactical gambling games.He try the many games with the random bet in the gambling.This was the biggest mistake made by my friend to get this bad situation.Actually he had quit the gambling because of their children and not for his wife.

[Ever-young]

I have not received such threats before from anyone either family or spouse regarding my gambling habit maybe this is as a result of me not being an addict or maybe as I don’t have much people around me who can say that I’m using the money they are giving to me for gambling which they can use the announce and give me some traits , I believe people who receive such threats are those who have much responsibility which they could have used their money to settle instead they are using it for gambling.

I know of a guy whom the mother have threatened to stop his education if he don’t stop his gambling habits, as they believe he is not focusing in his studies due to his so much passion for gambling and foot ball watching, I have also come across a case of parent accusing their child of stealing due to their gambling habit here in this forum, I believe this things are just common for those who are family who really provide for them or are close to them and need their financial help.

Still the same whether you are quitting gambling for your kids or wife then it doesnt matter because in overall then this would really be for the sake of your family on which it would really be just that so normal that you would really be quitting for the better and you dont really like for your family to be broken on which it would really be just that a normal approach or sensible thing to be done. This is why it would really be just that important that you should really not make yourself comes into a point that you would really be threatened up by your wife on having some divorce because of your wrong decisions specially on dealing up with gambling.On the time that you are already compromising yourself when it comes to finances and then heavily affects your family with it then it would really be an another story because no women would really be lasting up if they would really be suffering those kind of problems specially if they do saw that her children is really that been affected due to lack of finances because of what you have done.

If you do really value your family then you should quit gambling for good because if you dont then you would really be losing everything not only your money but also your family and this is something that we dont really like to happen for the rest of our lives. In my case, then i dont really experience this kind of threat towards into my wife or family because i do play in moderation and never ever comes into a point that
im really that wasting all of my time and money towards gambling. Everything should be in balance and must be.

[Juse14]

a warning or a prohibition on gambling from the people closest to us, this is a form of worry and concern from the people closest to us towards us because they are afraid that gambling could destroy our lives.

I have not received such threats before from anyone either family or spouse regarding my gambling habit maybe this is as a result of me not being an addict or maybe as I don’t have much people around me who can say that I’m using the money they are giving to me for gambling which they can use the announce and give me some traits , I believe people who receive such threats are those who have much responsibility which they could have used their money to settle instead they are using it for gambling.

And if something like that happens, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that maybe the people closest to you don't care about you so they don't worry about whatever you do or whatever happens in your life. And the second possibility, maybe the people closest to you already believe that you can control yourself when gambling so that they (the people closest to you) are not so worried when you gamble. and if the possibility is like this then what we have to do is to maintain the trust they have given us, don't let it go because our bad behavior in gambling can cause the people closest to us to lose trust in us.
