Gambling can affect relationships seriously whereby the gambler doesn't  have a better earning but always use the little money available for Gambling,  I don't think spouse will tolerate seeing her man spending a better amount of money in gambling when their are  serious needs which money is needed to solve these needs. Gambling can also affect a relationship when the gambler have no source of income but depends on gambling as job where money can be generated from.

Gambling that makes money will only happen if the gambler is truly professional in gambling and knows what he is doing in gambling bets, and has management to overcome risk problems and financial management for gambling. Unhealthy gambling will strain all kinds of relationships between people and this will have a bad impact. If you don't have a good source of income and don't understand what you do in gambling, you will have the potential to lose in the end and of course it will make anyone stressed. As the wife of a gambling husband, of course you will be angry and will warn him that such gambling is wrong and will not produce anything.

Yes, in my own personal and real experience gambling is the reason why my grandparents almost separated. My grandfather is so addicted to cockfighting to the point that we have no food to eat and they always have a conflict with my grandmother which led them to almost separation and he even starting to have an anger issues that time when he lose his game.

That's really serious. If someone is addicted to gambling, then the person is likely to have problems with his family because they will end up doing things that they are not supposed to do just to make money to gamble. An addicted gambler will end up doing something's that will end up affecting their family members, they might end up selling their properties, and the money that is supposed to be used for other necessary things in the house might end up being used for gambling, which will cause serious problems in the family.

If people gamble for fun and they don't spend any amount that is going to hurt them or their family member's on gambling, then I don't think people will be having problem with anyone gambling.

[maydna]

What @OP conveyed was the impact that would be experienced by gamblers who cannot control themselves and instead gamble excessively. There will be an even greater impact on gamblers and their families, making it a more serious problem than before. Gambling, intended as entertainment, is instead used as a means to make money, which will not work for most people because they can experience many losses. They also won't realize it was a mistake, so it will impact the people around them, especially if they lose a lot of money. And communication breakdowns are things that can be detrimental to all parties, not just gamblers but everyone around them.

It affects many gamblers' lives. Players will usually lose more than they win. This can lead to financial loss and debt, and It can affect relationships with family and friends, leading to emotional loss, separation, and difficulty maintaining relationships. Everyone will gradually shun, and no one will love a gambling addict. They will have a very unpleasant attitude when interacting with addicts.
How wonderful. If gambling is for entertainment, then there will be no problem. But only some gamblers can do that.

I am supporting you wholeheartedly that gambling can impact negatively in a relationship that has been healthy.
This is happening to someone very close to me presently. Because of gambling addiction they can no longer feed well with their family. And because of this, they always have problems in the family and the wives will always complain.
As one of the symptoms of someone that is addicted to gambling the husband no longer have sufficient money in his hand. No matter any amount that he earns or that is given to him. He will use all of them and gamble, keeping the family almost hungry. Now the wife is threatening divorce and it is just a very serious case.

It wont be a problem if controlled by time or a fixed budget simple time allocation would be good like anything, any hobby could be declared as destructive if completely unrestrained.  Its upto the person to recognize they need to trim down or completely stop something if its become an overwhelming occupation.  Gambling or any large interest could be excluding other people outside of that interest if they arent involved to the point you can discuss it with them then its almost as if you are not with them, make that hours a day and certainly it could be viewed that way.  Dont be too obsessive, it wont be lucky for gambling imo.

Gambling does not necessarily affects ones relationship, but a poor gambling habits does. Because once you develop a bad habit in gambling, it will affect not just only yourself, but the people around you. For instance, if you have a family, it might affect your relationship with them if you spend most of your time engaging in gambling activities instead of having your time with your wife and children. It can also affect your family if your money was being used up on gambling instead of using it for more important things or the needs of your family.

Simply, there's nothing wrong in doing gambling. Problem only arises when it becomes a reason for you to develop poor relationship with your family, children, wife, friends, and yourself. So, it's better to have yourself reminded that gambling should only cause you happiness and entertainment and it shouldn't cause harm for you and the people around you.

Your title and explanation is not matched up, title says "gambling" only but your explanation says about "gambling addiction". These are two different things so I suggest you to edit your title because I believe what you mean is the addiction not the gambling that may affect our relationship. If it is about gambling without addiction, it can be still arguable whether it may affect our relationship or not, but if we talk about addiction then yes it does affect many things in our life including relationship.

From what you have said this will only apply to professional gamblers who have more budget or who gamble for the purpose of hobby or fun and this will never apply to beginner gamblers or gamblers who aim to enrich themselves because the group of beginner gamblers aims to enrich actually have a big chance or just end up as a gambling addict.
Maybe what you mean is correct and good but it doesn't cover all existing groups of gamblers.

If you want time gamblers who really have active gambling activities usually take a long time they don't even know the boundaries of when to play and when to stop so in the end the impact that occurs is the loss of harmony in a household.
This is the biggest impact of gambling for gamblers who are married and could have an even worse impact if it continues over a long period of time.

Gambling can affect relationships seriously whereby the gambler doesn't  have a better earning but always use the little money available for Gambling,  I don't think spouse will tolerate seeing her man spending a better amount of money in gambling when their are  serious needs which money is needed to solve these needs. Gambling can also affect a relationship when the gambler have no source of income but depends on gambling as job where money can be generated from.

Gambling as a source of income, would results in finance challenges because that's one of the poorest decision to make in life, absolutely no one wants suffering, everyone doing their very best to suits in the system and balanced their finances status. Gambling affects our relationship with one another, we always apply for what's think is right for us, preferably we often get what we craved for. Gambling literally affects anything that's relatable in our lives. We should try our best to keep things things set out from these complicated categories.

You have spoken really well, gambling like I have always; and will always say' is not a bad activity for one to engage him or herself in , but like any other thing in life, gambling too can be abused, and when we abuse gambling, it negatively affects everything in our life, from finance to relationship, to health, to self esteem and so on.

A responsible gambler will know how to balance their gambling activities with their relationship or family, because if we are even to judge, family or relationship is way more important, we should never gamble to the extent that it puts our relationship in jeopardy, it's absolutely foolishness to do so .

As long as you still take care of your family and it does not affect your life then it is all good. You are right as long as it is controlled because gambling is just an activity where we do have fun and it makes us relax so there is nothing wrong with it as there are times we need it but if you almost played the whole day and on a daily basis then that is a problem for not only you but also the people around you. There are tons of us that are doing gambling just for fun and not addicted to it and our relationships are still intact. We just exaggerate that word gambling as being destructive even if not all of us are addicted to it.

Never spend more than you can afford to gamble, no one wants to spend the rest of their lives with losers, the moment you start using more money on gambling you are becoming a loser without knowing it, you can't be making $500 in a month and using 300$ on gambling, you are slowly going into addiction, because you have some unrealistic expectations from gambling.

If you can keep using 2% to 5% of your monthly income in gambling you will never become an addict, this is my way of avoiding gambling addiction, it's not Bitcoin investment, which I DCA into every week and sometimes monthly, and this takes more percentage off my monthly income, you need to treat investment as investment, and the same with gambling, they are both risky still, gambling is way more impossible to achieve anything from compare to gambling.

Your spouse knows you more than outsiders, if they notice that you are losing yourselves they will surely try to talk you out of it, that's if you have the good ones, but if you aren't listening and you keep going deep into your addict part they have every right to leave you, because you only care about yourself and your greed.

Gambling has nothing to do with a person's relationship with his family or friends, but because many people gamble too often, it can affect their relationships with others. They have to be aware of this so they don't gamble too often because it can make them lazy to leave the house if they gamble online and can cause them to use up a lot of money. Those who gamble too often will just stay at home and may not take the time to interact with other family members, even though this is important to do so that their relationship with their family can be more harmonious. They only care about gambling and will continue to gamble so they will not pay attention to things other than gambling.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as they can divide their time to do other things so they can still interact well with the people around them. It can also reduce their desire to continue gambling because of course, their minds will be distracted by doing other things. And if that goes well, they don't need to worry about their gambling addiction.

Gambling is one of the key problem relationships face. 

How exactly is gambling a key problem? Gambling can only affect a personal relationship when addiction falls in place. When we speck of addiction, some how to me it's when someone who consistently loose to the house keeps playing to the extend of stealing or loaning funds to gamble. This way he is becoming stress over something he isn't certain to have a possible result which might leave him somany bills and dept to pay. From this, I will say such person is becoming irresponsible and this might end up damaging his relationship not only with a spouse but also to his local area. On the other hand for someone who sometimes wins and losses, understand his limits and when to stop, I will call this a responsible gambler. And such person can maintain a health relationship.

I totally agree with you about that. I don't think that gambling can interfere with a relationship as long as the gambler has some discipline and gambles within their limits. Your spouse should never have a problem with it as long as you are providing everything and using only the spare money for your gambling activities, because you are already fulfilling all the requirements and completing your responsibilities, so she doesn't really have to be worried about it.

But, as you said, if someone is so into gambling that they spend most of their money and time on gambling and are always taking loans and debts are piling up, that is when the relationships start shattering and they might see them breaking very soon if they don't do something about their gambling addiction.

Yes, in my own personal and real experience gambling is the reason why my grandparents almost separated. My grandfather is so addicted to cockfighting to the point that we have no food to eat and they always have a conflict with my grandmother which led them to almost separation and he even starting to have an anger issues that time when he lose his game.

I also know some like this, his parents almost got divorced because of gambling.
Because his father was addicted to gambling even the family's car was bet just to recover the money he lost, It was a brand new car lol but his father didn't win that's why the casino got their car because of his dad. And I know their father doesn't have a job  

A lot of people have experience this situation and the children become miserable
when their parents always fight or even end up getting divorced.

It's not the gambling that can affect a relationship and cause estrangement between the two. However, it is this person's behavior that causes the relationship to become strained. And in responding to things like this we cannot think objectively and say that gambling is bad and can damage a relationship, but in responding to this we have to think subjectively because not everyone who gambles means the relationship becomes strained. And when we behave wisely then all the activities we do will be fine. Gambling cannot provide complete joy, gambling only provides temporary pleasure and gambling is not everything. However, if your partner and family are everything that can give us happiness forever, then do everything wisely and responsibly, including gambling.

The impact of bad gambling is that it can change the attitude of gamblers to the point of harming themselves both financially and in their relationships with anyone, including their family. There are many cases of divorce because husbands who are gamblers are no longer able to manage their finances well and behave rudely to their family until divorce is the end of the relationship story, but of course not all gamblers will reach that stage if they are not bad addicts.

The average gambling addict has problems, but what differentiates them is how they control their addiction and how they control their emotions. Gambling addicts who are no longer able to control their emotions often have many problems that harm themselves, this is because they fail to gamble responsibly and are so greedy about their desire for big wins.

To talk about gambling is to talk about fun. But indeed not a few people are complacent about gambling so that they are addicted to gambling. until in the end they neglect everything including family and work except for the gambling activities he does and he looks for money so that he can gamble not to support and provide for his family. "Gambling" should be played in their spare time to relieve stress after a long day at work. But unfortunately they cannot realize that so what happens to most gambling addicts, they spend time only gambling and leave their jobs and families. And not infrequently when he loses, it will make them depressed and stressed so that in the end the family becomes an outlet for his anger in gambling, which in the end this leads to domestic violence which ends in divorce.

Relationships and families are built on predictable income and improved living conditions for yourself and your partner over time. Gambling, on the contrary, is to a large extent an uncertainty in the future, an unpredictability that your loved one does not want to accept, and this is logical on his part, he can be understood. Therefore, if you spend a lot of time and money on gambling, it is obvious that in the end it can destroy the relationship. It’s a completely different matter if you spend very little time and money on gambling; it won’t harm the relationship, at least I hope so.

Finances and the economy are always a scary specter in the course of a household. In living a household, communication is the key because everything that happens in a household relationship can always be discussed. Whether something you do is good or bad, you should talk to your partner about it, including your gambling activities. If you can explain this well then most likely your partner can accept it and will help you to find a way out.

I don't seems to have any problem with my wife as regards to my gambling activities,  as a matter of fact my gambling activities goes unnoticed to her since I gamble at a minimum level,  she doesn't know I gamble,  and the only gambling object she knows around me is stake and that is because she know I am promoting a casino call stake.

Aside from that,  she doesn't care to know how much I earn from gambling and what amount I gamble with since I placed everything in moderation and also place priority on my family.
