Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[Yamifoud]

Denial is also a mechanism that helps them settle.  But this will not prevent the relationship from crumbling when everything is already affected. Usually, it is money that breaks apart relationships. Even in the absence of gambling addiction, family crumbles when money is not coming in, and it will be worse when there is a reason to blame each other like one is addicted to gambling.  The worst thing that could happen is losing custody of the kids since this is also ruining the lives of the kids.

I totally agree to this. I have personally witnessed several wives who have been just looked totally fine with how addicted their husbands to gambling simply because they have enough money to feed the entire family and they are still able to buy their luxuries.
Gambling itself may not be the primary reason for a family to be broken, it's most probably just being 2nd to money.
I've also seen a lot of marital separations due to unemployment of the husband more than being a gambler.
But it could be the worst if someone who is broke and still managed to gamble lol.

Well, for rich gamblers, losing money doesn't impact to their financial capability which is why it never incurs problems. But for poor to middle-class people, that is a big deal and most of the time this would be a reason for a broken family and relationship. It is not because they don't understand their husband but it is because their husband doesn't understand the situation that they have. If you are a responsible husband/wife, you don't have to prioritize or spend more on gambling rather than use it to buy food.

Isn't it a question of relativity for any person in the world except for maybe some billionaires for whom it should be impossible to gamble away their fortune? If a millionaire goes into the casino and loses a few million dollars in just one night, that could mean bankruptcy for that person as much as could mean that to a middle to low income person depending on how much debt or lifestyle cost someone has to serve. The relative expenditure is what decides whether someone maneuvers themselves into trouble with gambling or not. But it is true that it is more likely that middle or low income people are probably gambling money away that has existential relevance for them and it is not that likely for a millionaire who amassed a fortune to be playing with existential money. But it does happen as well and can end in a catastrophe, too.

I like the points you make, especially for ordinary or poor people who love to gamble. as you said, when a couple has financial limitations or, let's say, only earns a mediocre income, the impact of gambling by the husband/wife will have a big impact on the relationship they have had so far. The breakdown of the relationship will gradually occur, whether it ends in separation or someone has to give in and realize that someone's actions are excessive. but if someone has been dominated by addiction, ego and the fantasy of getting rich in one night. So, usually damage to family relationships is inevitable. in the end, one of them will leave or end it with separation.

I am sure that a phenomenon like what is said in this post is not a foreign phenomenon to us, especially to the lower classes of society who tend to prefer gambling with lotteries. Usually, the expectations are simple. hoping for a miracle by getting the jackpot from lottery type gambling. The key is to understand that the priority of family needs is number one. For gambling, whatever the reason, whether for fun, entertainment or wanting to get additional income from it. The focus is that money is only prepared to be lost on condition that it does not interfere with the family's financial problems. or in other cases, excessive gambling can also damage a couple's relationship. The key is to play less and share time with your partner.

In the case of a rich person, it is true, losing money on his gambling will not have a major impact on his relationships. However, if someone does it intensely, plus a large amount of money is at stake, but unfortunately they always lose, then the potential for damage to their relationship can occur. The point is, play within your means, only using the money we have budgeted, without disturbing other interests. which in the end, will not affect the breakdown of a relationship.

Addiction to gambling is undoubtedly a severe problem that can negatively impact both our life and the lives of those around us. It's not only about the money; it's also about the relationships, mutual trust, and emotional health of all parties. Many people first attend casinos for amusement purposes, just for fun. However, it can turn into an addiction very rapidly, isn't that right? And when that occurs, the goal shifts from simply making money to enjoying the rush of the chase and the need to keep winning

Just the tip of the iceberg is financial difficulty. Relationships suffering is when the true anguish and devastation occur. Isn't the true suffering experienced when relationships are shattered, secrets are maintained, and conflicts arise? And isn't it true that trust is extremely difficult to regain once it has been damaged? It is imperative that we exercise caution, maintain awareness, and take action to stop gambling addiction before it starts. Because recovery can be a difficult and protracted process once it occurs

If those people could still use gambling for entertainment and fun, they would not experience relationship problems with the people around them. But once they get too deep into gambling, their relationships with others may start to suffer because when they experience losses, they will be sad or even angry. And when they are angry, they will take it out on the people around them even though these people have nothing to do with gambling. The condition will worsen if the gambler cannot realize his mistake because he has brought emotions from gambling into his relationships with the people around him.

Gambling addiction can disrupt a person's financial condition and even his family if he is married. And if that happens, the family may experience small problems such as being unable to meet their living needs because the money is used for gambling. They use their money to gamble because they think they can win some money to meet their daily needs but that's not the reality.

Actually, the cause of the breakdown of a family or relationship does not lie solely in economic conditions, it could be due to other factor such as infidelity, a temperamental partner, lack of attention to the partner are also factors that cause the breakdown of a relationship, so gambling is not the only cause of the breakdown of a family.
Gambling addiction really has a big impact on your financial condition, but as long as you can use gambling wisely, I think your wife or partner will understand it provided not go beyond reasonable limit.

Gambling addiction can disrupt a person's financial condition and even his family if he is married. And if that happens, the family may experience small problems such as being unable to meet their living needs because the money is used for gambling. They use their money to gamble because they think they can win some money to meet their daily needs but that's not the reality.

all of this is due to insufficient financial factors to meet daily needs. I mean when someone is married and their income is unstable or they really need money every day and sometimes someone immediately thinks about gambling to double their money but that is a wrong thought but I often see people who are married have a bad mindset like this.

and for me it not matter if a gambler who is married is addicted to gambling if he has a very large income so that no matter what happens his finances remain stable and can meet his daily needs and that is very rare.
sometimes this mindset is very influential for a bettor and if he is married and is the head of the household it would be better to reduce his gambling activities and prioritize his relationship with his family rather than spending money on gambling which ends up having a bad relationship with his wife.

[Negotiation]

It still depends on your partner if it accepts you. Gambling will only be a problem if you are already addicted to it like if you have been in debt and you already have no time for other things like work or family. I've seen a lot of married couples whose wife are okay with the gambling activities of their husband because their husbands can gamble responsibly. So it is not about the partner it is about how you gamble so that it won't affect yourself or people around you.

It is right that gambling should be done in such a way that it does not affect anyone therefore one should learn to control oneself before becoming addicted. Once it becomes an addiction, however, gambling addiction can lead to serious psychological problems gambling addiction has a very negative effect especially on marital and social life. The best way to start a conversation with a spouse is to empathize and reassure them that you are not going to judge them. It is also important to understand that they may hide their gambling because of the stigma attached to it, which makes it more difficult to disclose.

If someone is married and his income is unstable, he should stay away from gambling and look for a better job to meet his daily needs. If he thinks of gambling to double it, it will not work well but he may end up losing and losing his money in gambling. But if he could get a better job, he could make money from his salary to make ends meet. Instead of gambling and not being able to make money, finding a job would be better for him.

If he already has a very large income, he shouldn't gamble because we know that gambling can give someone problems. Even though he can now control himself well, there are times when a person is weak and ends up gambling and he can lose control of himself. That's when he will find it easy to deposit more money to gamble and that's where problems after problems will start to emerge. He can find enjoyment from gambling that can make him return to gambling more often than when he first gambled.

you provide a good summary of your opinion about this and indeed if you already have family ties or are married and have the responsibility to provide for your family, it would be better to stay away from gambling to avoid very bad risks in the long or short term.

and for someone who is not married or is just dating and not married, it is up to them whether they want to take wise steps to avoid gambling or continue gambling, but for me reducing gambling activities and always using a small budget would be better.

And it's best if they are not married, they don't need to waste their money on gambling or unnecessary things such as shopping for whatever they want. It's better to save the money to prepare for the future, especially if he will get married in the near future. He must learn to manage his life well and not need to gamble to try to earn a lot of money. But he can gamble with a small budget and stay within the limit to keepshis money.

And even though he is not married, if he has a gambling habit, it can interfere with his relationships with other family members. He may be more closed to other family members because he feels he is an adult and can control his life. So he acts or gambles without anyone knowing. This will further endanger him and the rest of his family.

This is why on the time that i do have plans on getting married then i would definitely choose up a certain girl which does have those qualities of being not that materialistic and something that have that a good practical view on things around and do really give out importance on how she spend and not really that wasting up money on which it would really be reflecting out when it comes to her qualities on which i could say that it is one of the things i do really look at before tending to tied up myself with married life which we know that having a partner something like this would really be that be a good
characteristic which would really be that building a secured future when it comes to finances.

As his husband then of course you should really be doing your part on which being that responsible on whatever actions you would be making.Yes,you are the provider on which it would really be just that
normal that you would really be having that moderation and control when it comes to spending. Spending money on leisure things arent that bad as long it would really be that in control
and doesnt really compromise things specially when it comes to family financials which we know that it is really that something important.

Actually, the cause of the breakdown of a family or relationship does not lie solely in economic conditions, it could be due to other factor such as infidelity, a temperamental partner, lack of attention to the partner are also factors that cause the breakdown of a relationship, so gambling is not the only cause of the breakdown of a family.

Agreed, if you are gambling but also providing for the family, spending time with them, not always angry or shouting or scolding everyone in the house, and giving time and attention to your partner, you should be good and your partner or family wouldn't have any problems.

Gambling addiction really has a big impact on your financial condition, but as long as you can use gambling wisely, I think your wife or partner will understand it provided not go beyond reasonable limit.

The thing is, when you get addicted, you basically forget the count of the money or time you are spending on your gambling activities and that is where the problems begin. When you are gambling with a limit, you are all okay, but as soon as you start gambling excessively, spending a lot of money and time on it, not providing very well for the family, and don't have any time for them, then your relationship will surely be in danger.

That's right, of course gambling activities will greatly disturb the economic or economic factors in the family, there will be a lot of negative impacts that they will feel in terms of finance, and this is especially for those men who have full responsibility in the family for financial matters to support their families, honestly this is very feared and if they cannot stop their bad activities then it is very possible that things that are not wanted will happen. For example, now there are quite a lot of cases in households in terms of gambling, not even infrequently they end up separating because they are not strong with the economy that is getting weaker due to one of their families entering into gambling addiction.

And yes I understand it's very difficult to get out of the addiction zone, but there is no other choice for them but to stop, because if not then obviously the impact as I have mentioned above is very likely to occur. So the point is that it's better for you to stop now, it's hard but you can start slowly and keep fighting, keep your mind away from something that can make you gamble, get out of the gambling environment. I think for those who are not married and still in the dating phase I think there is no harm in stopping gambling, the relationship is not a benchmark for you to stop, and even if you are still living alone there is no harm in stopping because it is better, and yes it is true that reducing gambling activities and also by reducing the budget can be an effective way to stop slowly.

Well that again goes back to the character of the girl you're in a relationship with? You see, some ladies do not care about your source of income or what you do to get those cash. All they are after is the affluent itself. Can you afford to sponsor their bills and make them feel good behind the close doors. That's what some girls are after.

I have encountered ladies, and it's even becoming more increasingly popular, that will show you they love you but you already knew what they love in you. Not your character, your outlook but your resources and generosity. They can go extra miles to show you love but the moment those things disappear, they vanishes too.

One aspect where you can fire me on is the inability to control my expenses on the love of my life. Especially when I noticed she's not their for the money. I'm more of an introvert than an extrovert, despite that I try to strike a balance between the two. I love to show that love and respect for my wife and lady when it comes to spending
.I see it as a mark of respect to know what she wants and provide it for her. I know sometimes it is good to always be on a budget, to spend. Unfortunately, that's one aspect I'm struggling to adopt.

I have also noticed from my own observations and judgments that ladies generally have more discipline in terms of expenses than men. And that's why when you find a lady lavishing money and spending extravagantly, you can easily guess at the source of the money. 80% of such money comes from the boyfriend or husband and not their hard earned money.

[Lida93]

A person can become more closed in nature when he has experienced a gambling addiction, one of which is from a financial perspective, everything he can do, such as having a lot of debt after being addicted to gambling, even to those closest to him (his partner).  He doesn't want to open up if he has spent a lot of money on gambling, this is always kept a secret, causing communication with his partner to become disharmonious

That's because no one is willing give a loan for gambling purpose, if I were ask you a loan for gambling, will you give it? 100% nope. But if I were ask you a loan to buy foods or medicine, will you give it? it's not 100% you will accept, but there's a probability you will give.

Why addiction would ruin a relationship? they will ask a loan or force you become a gambler by convince you can make money through gambling.

Allowing oneself to be convinced that he can make money or get rich through gambling is one of the highest forms of stupidity in disguise. Because the conviction will make you ready to do anything to have access to every available money that meets your eye so you can use it for gamble just in the quest to make wealth from it

People like that ends up not having close friends, relatives/family or spouse because they must have been sting financially by your gambling addiction behavior in one way or the other and they just can't keep on enduring your addiction which makes isolation from you their best solution ruining a once loving relationship.

and doesnt really compromise things specially when it comes to family financials which we know that it is really that something important.

That is why if someone wants to get married, they must be able to choose a partner who can understand their situation and accept whatever the conditions are. This is important so that he does not experience arguments with his partner and can live happily with his partner. And it is true that by having a partner, our lives can be more organized and we can plan a good future with them and have children who will pass on the goodness that we have taught them and later, they will teach it to their children.

And if we already have a harmonious relationship with our partner, we don't need to spend time gambling. We should use money for daily needs because that will disrupt our family expenses. We must be able to really manage our family finances. That way, we will not experience difficulties in marriage and can enjoy what we get with our family well.

You're right to say that. But it won't be like that because there are still girls who will accept their partner as they are and not think too much about someone's wealth. They can help their partner work for their home life, which is difficult to find in this day and age.

And if you are still gambling while building a relationship with your partner, this might disrupt your relationship with him, especially when experiencing a big loss. Your emotions will increase and if there is something you don't want, you might get angry and that could trigger a fight between you.

Of course the hope of getting rich by gambling is just empty talk. No one can get rich from gambling, even if the amount may be very small (like someone who wins the lottery). Additionally, most people will spend the money they got from the previous day's jackpot. So win or lose, the money will still go to the casino because it can't stop after getting a big win

I think if we only have one source of income and no extra money then it is better not to gamble. Gamble if we have excess money so that our lives are not disturbed mentally and socially because of gambling. Never gamble with money from debt, because it will end worse

[piebeyb]

And if you are still gambling while building a relationship with your partner, this might disrupt your relationship with him, especially when experiencing a big loss. Your emotions will increase and if there is something you don't want, you might get angry and that could trigger a fight between you.

Not really, I think gamblers who have become addicts won't have time to have a partner because they will spend more time gambling so I think it would disrupt the relationship if the gambler was in a relationship with someone but it doesn't seem possible to do that because The average addicted gambler is only busy thinking about gambling rather than making love.

Except for gamblers who can still control their time gambling, maybe they have more time to have a relationship and have time to date so they won't get emotional easily just because they lost at gambling, usually people who can control their time gambling will also definitely be able to control their emotions both when gambling and playing. with someone he is in a relationship with.

[Bitinity]

Additionally, most people will spend the money they got from the previous day's jackpot. So win or lose, the money will still go to the casino because it can't stop after getting a big win

In fact there are some people who get rich from gambling, most of them are professional poker players, sports bettor and lucky people who won lottery then stop gambling. It is possible to get rich from gambling but the chance is small especially if we are talking about luck based game.

And if you are still gambling while building a relationship with your partner, this might disrupt your relationship with him, especially when experiencing a big loss. Your emotions will increase and if there is something you don't want, you might get angry and that could trigger a fight between you.

So the one that disrupt the relationship is not the gambling, but the ability to control emotions. Emotions might changed up and down because of many things (not only gambling), even your job may make unable to control your emotion. The point is, gambling will not affect your relationship unless your partner hates gambling much while you are gambling and you hide it from her.

[Godday]

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

People who have become addicted to gambling and think that they can generate income from gambling, are examples of people who will have damaged relationships, whether family, business, or partner. I often meet people like that. When they earn $500 in a month then they use almost 3/4 of their income to gamble. They hope their bet will be good several times over. Some people can use under 10% of their income to have fun, but the problem is that not everyone can control their desires so they don't get addicted.
