Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[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.

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.

You have a healthy approach, but many people don't because they know what their partners think about gambling.
Imagine that you have a girlfriend who you really love and don't want to lose, so you ask her what she thinks about casinos and if she'd like to go there and you get a bad response. She says gamblers are trashy people, addicts, that she'd never date a gambler, so you shut up about it. You want to continue seeing her, but you also want to continue betting, and so it goes.

It's good to be honest, but sometimes you're faced with a choice of either being honest and being alone or having a fight with your wife who hates gambling, or shutting up and doing your thing.

Your gambling habit can definitely affect your relationship especially if you can't and don't know how to control your habits because when their is lack of control lose of finance is definitely bound to happen and in most cases addiction or that loss of fund can make you very aggressive to the point of even getting to the point of abusing your spouse because I have seen many cases of such scenario happening over here and most times the police even gets involved.

You are absolutely correct, mahn; that's the same thing I was saying in my previous comment. Whoever loses self-control of their gambling habit will definitely have some issues in their relationship, either with their own family, if the person is married, or with their parents or siblings, because by the time their siblings begin to quarry them for their gambling habits, they could get upset and cause some misunderstanding between them and their family. Some cases, too, can cause the man to engage in domestic violence with their spouse after they have lost some money at the casino and are confronted by their wife. I agree with you.

[Fortify]

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 itself does not cause any problems when it is done in a purely fun and casual manner, however lots of people think of it as a "way out" or shortcut to great wealth - when the only people getting consistently rich are the casino owners. If you are getting to the point where you are accumulating debt, burning through savings or feeling like you need to hide any aspect of your finances as it relates to gambling, then you have a big problem that will overspill into your relationship. Anyone under the pressure of those burdens can and normally does start acting differently in all kinds of situations, because they can often feel like they are trapped in a black hole with little opportunity in the future.

Yes, there are many cases like that, gambling does have a big impact on relationships, friends and family. but if you use gambling within a time limit and can control your emotions and use money within reasonable limits, I don't think it will cause problems for relationships, friends and family.
Irresponsible gamblers definitely have an aggressive nature, especially when they lose, they definitely take it out on the people around them, whether it's their partner or family, therefore a gambler must be able to control his emotions wherever and whenever so that incidents like this don't happen.

[Out of mind]

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems.

We all know that gambling is not at all a good sign for a person, but will create stress for his family in the future. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling he loses his mental strength and social isolation which affects his family a lot. So it is most important to avoid this gambling and when a healthy person gambles he can develop mental illness just because of gambling addiction. There are many people who gamble for entertainment but at some point they get stuck with the winnings, and later they can never get out of it, hence they become addicted to gambling. When a person starts gambling, they put their money at risk. Once they lose their bets, they decide to steal because they have no money, which is the worst. And what is the impact on their family due to which the family is much ashamed of the society and has to bear a lot of stress on the family and at some point they become destitute. That is why if a gambling addict is to recover from this condition, he must mix with his friends and outside people, so that he can stop gambling and slowly come back from it, only then a gambler can manage his life well.

So we are aware that gambling can have a bad influence on the people around us, so we must be able to pay attention to ourselves so as not to gamble excessively. In other words, we must be able to control ourselves while gambling. We don't want to see the bad consequences that we will give them if we continue to gamble because continuously gambling can change a person's disposition and character into someone whom the people around him do not recognize. There must be changes that occur in him that the gambler himself is not even aware of because only other people can see them. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with gambling responsibly because it can also prevent us from experiencing gambling addiction.

A gambler with no money left will always have a troubled head. A simple disagreement can turn worse only to prove his point, very impetuous. For a married person with no money to support his family, he'll be very anxious about whatever comes and can cause a quarrel with family members.

The more he'd think carelessly if he had no job too. It's always money that causes trouble in relationships. I can attest to this because I witnessed it myself.

[pixie85]

Yes' it can and it does affect relationships, especially if one of you loses a lot of money gambling. If my partner had a hobby that kept on dragging us down top the bottom, putting us in debt, I'd give him an ultimatum: you either finish with that or we go separate ways. Being honest here won't help, you either keep losing money, or come out of it and live a normal life. I have nothing against gamblers, but a guy who loses all the time is not a good match.

It's always money that causes trouble in relationships. I can attest to this because I witnessed it myself.

I know people who have money and relationship problems. For example my uncle had a private airplane, but my aunt divorced him, and kicked him out of the house because he was unfaithful.
It's often boredom, lack of real feelings and many other things that cause problems.

[passwordnow]

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.

There is no problem if you're just the casual type of gambler who wants to spend a couple of bucks enjoying some dice or playing poker at a table and then when you're out of money, you're out as well. That's not an issue for some gamblers that know what they do and the limit that they're setting for themselves. The real problem starts when you gamble, you're also putting your heart and emotion on it and just like in relationships, you're not noticing that the actual relationship that you have are heavily affected when you're already out of yourself.

[Stable090]

This is because gambling addicts only want to gamble and they tend to find it difficult to stop gambling before their money runs out.

Some addicted gamblers don’t stop gambling even when they are out of money. I have seen people gamble on debt in gambling shops at my place, where paying back the debt is always difficult for them. I have seen people sell their properties just because they want to gamble, and after selling them, they will end up regretting why they did that, and it’s already late. Some people use the money that they are supposed to use and feed themselves to gamble, hoping the money might double and that they will be able to get will increase. Addicted gamblers do crazy things, which are just kind of bad, things that will spoil the reputation of gambling in society.

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.

Some addicted gamblers always have the mindset that they can win life-changing money through gambling. Some of them believe they can make money for survival through gambling, but we shouldn’t have all those things in mind. Whether you are addicted to gambling or not, if you will be making life-changing money through gambling, you will definitely do that. People who are not addicted are making life-changing money through gambling, but if you are expecting a life-changing income through gambling, don’t be surprised that you won’t make it.

Yeah and that's the way it should be guys, obviously it's not a problem if they're just there for leisure on their day off and of course on top of that if they're responsible gamblers then if they end up losing they'll stop and leave and play again on their next day off when they have money they can account for if they lose. As we know that anyone should be like that, come only for entertainment and never more than that, then I make sure they will survive and will not be too down like other people who are addicted in general.

Well that's right, the problem point usually occurs when they experience defeat, they come with the wrong mindset in the sense of gambling for income and obviously that is a very wrong assumption, how can you come to make money in a place that is only limited to luck, it makes no sense. And well when they lose then they will definitely continue to chase victory to replace the defeat in the previous time, that's what usually happens when most of them end up experiencing addiction.

[TobeyHolo]

Don't really think its the gambling that causes relationship breakdowns, its when partners or family members are kept in the dark or deceived, which breaks the trust that's so essential in any relationship. It's up to us to make informed decisions, to be self-aware of our behaviors, and to ensure we're not crossing lines that jeopardize our relationships and personal well-being.

[ethereumhunter]

Some addicted gamblers don’t stop gambling even when they are out of money. I have seen people gamble on debt in gambling shops at my place, where paying back the debt is always difficult for them. I have seen people sell their properties just because they want to gamble, and after selling them, they will end up regretting why they did that, and it’s already late. Some people use the money that they are supposed to use and feed themselves to gamble, hoping the money might double and that they will be able to get will increase. Addicted gamblers do crazy things, which are just kind of bad, things that will spoil the reputation of gambling in society.

It will be difficult for them to repay the debt because they use it for gambling. Gambling will not give you a win in the sense of getting money but will instead give you a loss. Only a few people can be really lucky in gambling and win many people. But unfortunately, this is what makes these people return to gambling even with money from borrowing. And many have lost their money and even property and other valuables. I even heard of a father who had the heart to sell his child to have money to gamble and it really left scars on the family because a sibling couldn't accept the treatment and instead killed the father. It is truly terrifying to see the impact of gambling on society, which has taken its toll.

Some addicted gamblers always have the mindset that they can win life-changing money through gambling. Some of them believe they can make money for survival through gambling, but we shouldn’t have all those things in mind. Whether you are addicted to gambling or not, if you will be making life-changing money through gambling, you will definitely do that. People who are not addicted are making life-changing money through gambling, but if you are expecting a life-changing income through gambling, don’t be surprised that you won’t make it.

Such a mindset should be able to be changed by those who have often experienced gambling losses so that they realize that they need to change their lives to not gamble anymore. They can indeed make money from gambling but won't be able to always make it every day so they need to look for other sources of income that can provide that. If they don't realize it, it's only a matter of time for them until they lose all their money in gambling. And when they experience it, perhaps this situation will have an impact on their relationships with other people because that person will become emotional and so on.

[Blitzboy]

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.

We all know that gambling is not at all a good sign for a person, but will create stress for his family in the future. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling he loses his mental strength and social isolation which affects his family a lot. So it is most important to avoid this gambling and when a healthy person gambles he can develop mental illness just because of gambling addiction. There are many people who gamble for entertainment but at some point they get stuck with the winnings, and later they can never get out of it, hence they become addicted to gambling. When a person starts gambling, they put their money at risk. Once they lose their bets, they decide to steal because they have no money, which is the worst. And what is the impact on their family due to which the family is much ashamed of the society and has to bear a lot of stress on the family and at some point they become destitute. That is why if a gambling addict is to recover from this condition, he must mix with his friends and outside people, so that he can stop gambling and slowly come back from it, only then a gambler can manage his life well.

Gambling can destroy the serenity of both the gambler and their family. You've beautifully described gambling addiction's downward slope from mental anguish to social isolation.

Increasing social interactions can help with healing. But encouraging the person to seek expert help is also vital. Addiction treatment therapists and counselors can help people regain mental and emotional equilibrium. They can help restructure addiction-fueling cognitive habits for lasting recovery and relapse avoidance. Professional support and a strong social network can help you overcome gambling addiction and move forward with strength and hope.

[Negotiation]

Don't really think its the gambling that causes relationship breakdowns, its when partners or family members are kept in the dark or deceived, which breaks the trust that's so essential in any relationship. It's up to us to make informed decisions, to be self-aware of our behaviors, and to ensure we're not crossing lines that jeopardize our relationships and personal well-being.

Depending on the individual, no gambler can win consistently due to the successful use of game theory. In such cases or in bankruptcy after accepting constant losses people get depressed when gambling becomes addictive self-esteem stress can cause anxiety and depression and it affects family relationships because an addicted person loses control and breaks up relationships. If you use it compulsively or feel out of control it won't take long for things to go sour. They abandon all the important activities of life to gamble they only look for opportunities to gamble and immerse themselves in gambling. But a responsible gambler has no such influence as they are able to control everything.

[348Judah]

Your gambling habit can definitely affect your relationship especially if you can't and don't know how to control your habits because when their is lack of control lose of finance is definitely bound to happen and in most cases addiction or that loss of fund can make you very aggressive to the point of even getting to the point of abusing your spouse because I have seen many cases of such scenario happening over here and most times the police even gets involved.

You are absolutely correct, mahn; that's the same thing I was saying in my previous comment. Whoever loses self-control of their gambling habit will definitely have some issues in their relationship, either with their own family, if the person is married, or with their parents or siblings, because by the time their siblings begin to quarry them for their gambling habits, they could get upset and cause some misunderstanding between them and their family. Some cases, too, can cause the man to engage in domestic violence with their spouse after they have lost some money at the casino and are confronted by their wife. I agree with you.

If we are gambling and lack self-control, it will definitely affect our relationship with the people around us knowingly to us or not, people study us even at unaware and the moment they begin to see some abnormalities with the way on how we gamble, they began to conclude on some things about us which may really affect our relationship with them, also being a gambler, let's try to ensure we gamble responsible in other to make our relationship with others unaffected, people were actually watching at us even though we are not sure of this happening.

The relationship that will have an indirect impact is family, that is the first thing if the player cannot have control. Don't gamble, even general things like daily money can damage relationships, gambling will be the same and maybe more bad. However, there are also many people who do not face any problems, because of good communication between the family, both with parents and partners and using reasonable money for gambling. Maybe, if someone want to maintain a relationship with their family, it's not just self-control, if possible, it would be better before too late, if husband/wife had control over some important money, so maybe this get caught up in wanting to gamble more which could ultimately affect the relationship.

[tusandii]

If we are gambling and lack self-control, it will definitely affect our relationship with the people around us knowingly to us or not, people study us even at unaware and the moment they begin to see some abnormalities with the way on how we gamble, they began to conclude on some things about us which may really affect our relationship with them, also being a gambler, let's try to ensure we gamble responsible in other to make our relationship with others unaffected, people were actually watching at us even though we are not sure of this happening.

It's still about self-control and yes, it is true that this failure of self-control can damage everything which can make the situation worse and it often happens that gamblers lose their families because they choose to continue gambling and it's all about self-control.
But in my personal opinion it all depends on each individual's thoughts, such as how the gambler thinks about gambling, whether he only thinks about fun or thinks of gambling as earning money and from here it is very clear that gamblers who come to have fun, they only gamble for entertainment, but for gamblers who consider gambling as a source of income, I think it is a very bad mindset that a gambler will lose control when experiencing the first loss and continue to chase losses until it reaches the addiction phase.
With this addiction,  gambler doesn't care about anything, even his partner's relationship or even his relationship with his family he won't think about it the most important thing is that he can gamble.

[passwordnow]

There is no problem if you're just the casual type of gambler who wants to spend a couple of bucks enjoying some dice or playing poker at a table and then when you're out of money, you're out as well. That's not an issue for some gamblers that know what they do and the limit that they're setting for themselves. The real problem starts when you gamble, you're also putting your heart and emotion on it and just like in relationships, you're not noticing that the actual relationship that you have are heavily affected when you're already out of yourself.

As we know that anyone should be like that, come only for entertainment and never more than that, then I make sure they will survive and will not be too down like other people who are addicted in general.

Well that's right, the problem point usually occurs when they experience defeat, they come with the wrong mindset in the sense of gambling for income and obviously that is a very wrong assumption, how can you come to make money in a place that is only limited to luck, it makes no sense. And well when they lose then they will definitely continue to chase victory to replace the defeat in the previous time, that's what usually happens when most of them end up experiencing addiction.

While many believe that it's impossible to make money from gambling as an actual gambler, can look at those pro and typical gamblers that make some and lose some. It really varies as per gambler if they have a specific game that they're making a lot of money. E.g poker and sportsbetting. These two are not just all about luck although luck still plays a part on it but most likely, it is the gambler's ability to look and create their own strategies depending on the situation in poker and the same goes in sportsbetting.
