Have you been threaten to stop gambling

[Woodie]

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

~ 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.

But there are people doesn't like to disclose their gambling habits because they are afraid about what his close relatives or even his wife will say about them. 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. However, every action is a reaction of you previous choices so that should sum it up.

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.
