Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[ethereumhunter]

What affects our relationship is not gambling, but the addiction in it, ..

If addiction has a negative effect, then the impact on our relationship is also negative. But let's look at it from another perspective. Why do we always assume that when a person is addicted to gambling, they are losing more money than they can afford to lose? What if it's the other way around? What if a person is addicted because they are winning and have achieved financial freedom through gambling?

Isn't it considered an addiction as well when you keep gambling because you are winning?

This is because gambling addicts only want to gamble and they tend to find it difficult to stop gambling before their money runs out. But that may not happen, especially since we are not gambling addicts. Everything is possible and it will depend on each gambler and gambling addicts can win and achieve financial freedom through gambling. But it seems that it will not be easy because continuing to gamble means we are willing to accept all the risks that can occur in gambling. But the impact of gambling addiction may be more dangerous than we think, and the difference may lie in self-control.

Indeed, it's just a proportional effect when you have an addiction. It will also influence your connection with your loved ones the same way.

Regarding addiction having a positive effect such as attaining wealth in the process, for me, yes it's still considered as an addiction, but in a healthy way. Although I wouldn't really call it as an addiction, rather a passion because they do it with ease and it has a good outcome for them. This is because they know how to control their betting and plays, not going overboard to becoming bankrupt just for the sake of chasing winnings, rather making an effort to earn more profit without sacrificing their current earnings. They are strategic and smart like that.

Let's skip the process though as we know how successful gamblers do, but as I research now I find that my understanding was wrong.

According to wiki - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_addiction#:~:text=A%20gambling%20addiction%20is%20when,more%20than%20the%20general%20population.

A gambling addiction is when someone is obsessed with gambling despite the negative consequences.

I'm talking about positive outcome, so I was wrong.

There are different types of people in gambling, each of whom has a different purpose. Some people use gambling only to have a good time while others try to gain financially. But if the gambler's gambling habit turns into an addiction, then its effects will be everywhere. Be it a family member friend or relative. Gambling will have no effect if you engage in gambling with an attitude that there is a high chance of losing. But most of the time gamblers have different opinions. An addicted gambler is always an untrustworthy person in the eyes of others.

that's because the addiction also involves other people. and they feel disadvantaged by the addiction that gamblers experience. However, we have to accept that gambling has quite an addictive impact on beginners. It all depends on how the gambler manages to exercise control so as not to involve anyone as much as possible.

I believe more people will be addicted to gambling than those who can really control it. When you have better finances, your gambling activities may not harm the people you come into contact with.

When you talk about financial freedom, gambling is never and can never be a source for anyone to achieve financial freedom. One of the major causes of gambling addiction is when a gambler decides to gain financial freedom through gambling.
Undoubtedly, there are gamblers who are very good in predicting the outcome of games which helps them to know which game to bet on and when best to place their bets but once the person starts to see it as a main source of income, he automatically becomes an addict which will surely gonna affect his relationship with his loved ones.

I can agree with, gambling influence you and the people around you so we need to manage it in order for us not to be addicted so hard . But for me if you say addiction it is to the extent that you are being too much addicted that will come to the point that you slowly getting annoyed easily and become so much frustrated because you want to earn more so you can play more.

When you talk about financial freedom, gambling is never and can never be a source for anyone to achieve financial freedom.

Gambling will damage your finances, not create financial freedom. Casinos are not a place to make money, so there will never be financial freedom in the world of gambling, as far as I know it will lead to mountains of debt. Can be sure that family and those closest will be the first to ask for a loan, which is where family relationships and friendships will be damaged because of gambling.

Yes, I also know there are people like that, but often they are too greedy and double their bet on the next bet, so that once they make a prediction mistake, their money will run out.

That will start making problems with their friends, and family members. Many things will change and arise once you've got caught in addiction, some people will understand it but most people will not. In fact, we can't expect that all the people around us will support our addiction and let us borrow their money, for they don't and can lead to having bad relationships, even your partners will never give you that. More often troubles will arise when there is financial problems occur inside and gambling addiction can be a factor in such thing.

Indeed, gambling affects our finances and psychology when we become a real addict but we cannot gather all these negatives to judge that this will affect relationships because I see quite a few people who gamble at an addictive level but at the same time their work is also managed well, social relationships cannot be broken as long as the gambler does not lower their reputation. The new age has allowed us to think more openly, unless we borrow too much money, otherwise, it is difficult for a relationship to disappear because of gambling.

The casino's interests come first in the design of the gambling system, not the players'. Casinos are huge, luxurious buildings for a reason, and it has nothing to do with how generously they pay out. Its honestly stupid of you to think that gambling addiction can lead to financial independence. Self-control? Yes, that is necessary. However, self-control may not be sufficient if the system is biased against you. Are we prepared to allow ourselves to be exploited by a sector of the economy that profits from our failures? We must consider this more carefully and carefully.

if the individual is a chronic gambler it has a negative impact on me as a friend also because he will always want to encourage me to gamble even when it is not convenient for me, in a way it will affect our relationship in addition because once I noticed that it is becoming an addiction I will in a way start avoiding that friend because of that influence. Because he may end up persuading me to sell my property one day to gamble, it is best if I avoid him they will always go with the idea of gaining back their money, and they will continue to lose as a result of that thinking.

Gambling addiction can ruin lots of relationships especially if it includes debt, lies and false promises just to pursue gambling. We all know how gambling addiction affects a person and his mentality. There will be times that he wouldn't care about how his decisions will affect the people around him which will definitely affect good relationships.
As for me, if a person is giving in to his urges without proper control, he will disregard the feelings of others and it's a reason to break bond and relationship. It's something that we should be careful about. If we could feel that we're already disregarding how our decisions may affect others, we might be falling into gambling addiction.

Or simply say that "IF THERE"S SMOKE, THEN THERE'S FIRE" kind of line on which keeping up secrets would definitely be putting you in harm on the time that your wife or your family would be finding out that you

Maybe the proverb you mean is "if there is smoke there is fire" which means that when we do everything we do, there will definitely be a consequence that we will receive. And the consequences are good or bad, it depends on what you do and keeping your bad behavior in gambling a secret is a bad thing and will have bad consequences for yourself.

are involved with some gambling activities but reactions would really be something that would be depending because if you have just done your role well as a family man or being father without making them
suffer in terms of living then they wont really be making out such reaction but if you are really that making out some significant impact then expect pointing out fingers and blaming time would really be next in line.
This is why its never been that good to consider on keeping up secrets because you would really be finding yourself on possible trouble if you cant really be able to make those reasoning.
This is what i dont really like on keeping secrets specially into my wife because sooner or later you would really be caught no matter what, plus im not really that kind of person who do really love on hiding
things from my wife and its really just that risky to do so.

Running away from existing problems and continuing to try to cover them up, this will never solve the problem and this will only complicate the situation later. Maybe you could keep this a secret from other people, such as neighbors, friends or new people you know with the aim of maintaining other people's honor and trust in you. But not towards your partner, because when you are married, your responsibility is not yourself, but someone else's child whom you asked to be your wife and your responsibility. So behave wisely when gambling and don't let the gambling you do have bad consequences and have a negative impact on yourself, especially your family and partner.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain. When it becomes an addiction it causes financial strain the strain can manifest in various ways including the loss of shared savings, debt accumulation, and financial secrecy which may lead to strained communication between partners. This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.

Gambling is an activity where the results can go either hand. The stake at which people gamble is what drives them insane given the fact that real money is involved in this venture. Sure, a person may feel extremely satisfied and happy if they win a significant amount of money; but the stress and negativity of losing is what makes this habit dangerous compared to any other habits in this world.

The cycle of gambling is a difficult act to remove especially if you are already deep on it. A person may feel obliged to recover their losses by gambling again but this puts them in a worse position in the long run.

I just hope that when people gamble, they have the means of allocating only a designated portion of their income/savings to prevent any over spending on their part.

You said it right. We cannot generate financial independence from gambling. We can only restrain it with self-control so that we don't sink into gambling, especially if many people have experienced it. We have to be more careful so that we don't experience the same thing. And if we don't want our relationships with the people around us to suffer, we must be able to use gambling well and only treat gambling as entertainment and nothing more. This way, we can still interact with people well and enjoy gambling as usual.

Although there's always a problem in my relationship, but it's not caused by gambling. Problems in relationship is very normal, there's no relationship has no problem.

Just let you know, I'm a quite active gambler and I never have a problem in my relationship because of gambling.

If someone have a problem about gambling, they need to seek a professional help.

I guess it's all about affordability. You probably can afford to gamble after all the expenses and requirements of you and your family in a month and that is the reason why your spouse has no issues with your gambling activities. The same thing wouldn't be said by someone who spends money that they need for something else on their gambling activities and then the only reason why they will have issues in their relationship will be because of their gambling.

It's true that there will always be some issues between a husband and a wife if that is the relation we are talking about, because when you live with someone, you do everything together, there will be arguments and issues arising from time to time, however, they won't last very long if someone wants to resolve them and not break the relationship.

Considering the ill effects of addiction, of course gambling can have serious consequences for those who have given up gambling, especially those in relationships. There are many people who spend extra time in casino or gambling but cannot spend time with their loved ones in the family. Not giving time to the loved one creates loneliness in the heart of the loved one and later has a bad effect on the relationship and hundreds of divorces have happened in our country due to such effect. However, those who take gambling positively may not have bad relationship effects because they spend time with their loved ones in addition to gambling.

This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.

Gambling is a hobby of mine and I try to be as open as possible about it with my family, friends and partners. In the past I only had one girlfriend that I couldn't talk about my gambling activities. I tried a few times to be open about it, but she got very negative and wouldn't listen to reasoning. In the end the relationship didn't last very long and gambling was only a small part of why we broke up. From that encounter I learned a lot and now I am always forthcoming and open about my hobby. From my experience it is not so much about the fact that we enjoy playing for money, but rather the fact that we should have no secrets in a relationship. In a good relationship we don't need to have the same interests, it's fine we take a few hours in the evening for ourselves and do something that we enjoy. The important thing is to share our experiences and not try to hide it. Once we break the trust of our wife or girlfriend, she will feel betrayed it's going to be hard to get that trust back into the relationship, better to play with open cards from the start.

As long as you are honest and open with your partner, I'm sure it won't result in arguments, just say I gamble for fun and I'm sure our partner will understand if we are honest with him and convince him that we can control the gambling we usually play, etc. My personal example is that I entrust my wife to manage my gambling budget every week.

So when we trust our wife or partner to manage the gambling budget, of course he will feel special, that we have nothing to hide from him, he will definitely appreciate that honesty and I am sure there will be no arguments if everyone is open and supportive of each other. because until now I am still in harmony with my partner and still gamble on weekends without any problems though

[Jody.Drummer]

It's the gambler's fault when he does it and then every relationship that he's got and responsibilities that he should sustain are also failing. With that, better to stop and not gamble anymore if things are not doing well for you. It's not just going to work together but at the same time that might break ties from the people that are involved and affected by how irresponsible you are as a gambler.

The point is that according to the facts that occur, gambling has indeed harmed many people, the impact is not only on their own finances but as we discuss this, namely to every relationship with the people closest to us such as maybe a girlfriend or closest friend and even family itself can really happen. The best way is if you can better stop, anyway this is pointless, the victory you always expect never comes, and even if it comes maybe only once out of a hundred tries, and of course if you count it more your losses than the victory. But basically it won't be that easy buddy, quitting gambling is very difficult, maybe some people will say it's easy, and I say the people who say that are those who have never gambled at all. I think some gamblers also really want to quit, but they find it difficult to do so because well their minds are almost completely distracted with wrong assumptions. To quit completely in one go may not be possible but to slowly reduce it is possible.

Well, stopping is out of the question for the most because addicted gamblers can't stop in an instant and that's why they're facing these consequences. If it's just easy as we say for someone to stop and quit, that would be easy for them as well and it won't make a ruckus and problems just as what we're discussing right now. That's why these problems including the relationships that these people are experiencing, this becomes their life lessons for them to avoid something like this to occur again. And while the others have seen this problem and trying to avoid it, they can make ammendments and adjustments for them not to have it.

Well it's going to be next to impossible for gamblers especially those with high levels of addiction out there, but I'm not saying it can't be done it's just that it's very unlikely if they can let go of all the temptations that come their way. But I think the difficulty or ease of quitting depends on the gamblers themselves, meaning their level of addiction, if they are just regular gamblers and not too ambitious then I think quitting will not be too difficult for them because they are still in a fairly safe zone with a mind that is still a little sober, but I say it's difficult only for those who are really addicted to the point that they can't miss a day of gambling, they continue to do it with hopes that are actually just nonsense.

Well that's right buddy, gamblers who are already addicted can hardly stop with just - just, they need a lot of help from some psychologists who can normalize their minds again, and of course the impact is not only for themselves but as we discussed according to the title above that the people closest to them will also definitely at least feel the negative impact. This is an example that should be used as a lesson by most gamblers, especially those who have just come, I hope they can see how bad the person is if they are too excessive in gambling, change your mindset.
