Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[Wiwo]

I mean obviously it could if you are not careful with what you are talking about. That doesn't mean that it will, it just means that you could be getting to a serious point where it may not be all that easy. I think it should be pointed out that we are talking about relationships in one big brush but normally that is not the case and should be very important to note that down.

I personally believe that we should not be really doing anything that is generalizing every single relationship that way. While it may hurt some relationships, it may enhance some others, there must be some couples out there who gamble together, and having fun with it as well, whereas in some others people break up or even divorce because of gambling. Both of those cases must be true somewhere out there in the world, which means that both sides of the relationship should be aware what kind of person the other one is and act accordingly if they want to keep the relationship going.

We have recorded a lot of stray relationships due to gambling habits and characters this is because you find out that a partner is a chronic gambler and already hucked messed up addiction,  this could become an unmanageable situation and the only way out could be to let the relationship go as long as you as yourself won't end in the same mess or become homeless

For sure we also have a few relationships that could cope with a gambling partner and for sure in some cases,  gambling could become a such of entertainment for them and if that is the case,  it then relies more on individual differences as you said,  what this person may not take,  the other person may take it and manage around it.

This is very much on point.

A gambler that is responsible to his duties and obligations will less likely have a problem regarding his gambling routine and to the people around him, and this includes his connection and relationship to the people important in his life. If someone is disciplined enough to practice moderate and responsible gambling, there will be no spouse that will complain and be irritated about the gambling practice. If the needs are being met at home, no wife will be a nagger and there will be no argument. So as easy as that, you should be responsible to your financial obligations to your family and to yourself so you will avoid trouble.

Additionally, you should practice allocating just enough time in gambling so you could have some spare for your family and friends for bonding and relaxation. Having enough time for your family will make them feel loved and cared for and if you lack hiving it to them, they will feel neglected resulting to negative effects to your relationship.

I agree with your opinions on this
When someone is gambling responsibly, I don't think gambling is going to have any negative effect in his relationship with his people around him because he's gonna be time conscious and also know the ideal time to gamble and when to give people around him the necessary attention they need.
It's a gamble addict that  will always dedicate all his time, resources and energy in gambling which in return will affect not just his relationship with people around him l but also with anyone that he's got business deals with. These are the reasons why every gambler have gamble responsibly.

Well that totally depends on your partner, as even if you are not addicted or losing too much, relationships have more people then ourselves that we do need to consider. And their values and opinions might not match ours in every issue.

But generally speaking, everything you do in life can affect all kinds of relationships in life, both in negative and positive way. And thing is, it depends on the relationship. Sometimes things that are casual to us, and we don't see any harm in them, are hard thing to accept by other half of that relationship. Then we need to talk and often compromise so we can be compatable enough to continue the relationship. But especially when it comes to addiction. May it be gambling, substances or anything really. It comes so many times before relationships. So, yes, it can strain them, or even end them.

Thing is, it's not the gambling that is doing that, but the addiction. Addiction can be towards anything people get hooked at. And people get hooked at various things.

It really depends on how you work out your relationship but major reasons of partner's misunderstanding is when one of their partner is involved in gambling activities, worst is being addicted into it. Disclaimer, there's nothing wrong in doing gambling but it's a different matter if your partner is already addicted to gambling and it affects your relationship especially when it comes to time and money. If a person doesn't want to take the negative effect of gambling, He should be responsible enough to avoid such trouble and disappointments from your partner and family.

We know that gambling doesn't do any good to people especially if it's already affecting their finances. If you are gonna commit to a relationship, you know that some lifestyles won't be the same anymore as you have more responsibility in your life which is your partner or your family. There's nothing wrong with gambling especially if you are just a single person and have enough money to gamble. Just imagine the time you are spending into gambling where you can do many things already with your partner or family like bonding with them. You can actually gamble once if you are financially stable and have spare money to bet. If the case is your partner is already addicted, I think it would be better to seek professional help.

[Accardo]

Respect and progress is what everyone spouse would want for herself and her family. Addiction to anything is bad and would obviously give a bad look on the family and a strain on it’s finances.
Someone with an addiction to gambling or other vices are weak minded and easily swayed by things around at the moment. Being hooked, it would be easy to overlook what repercussions would follow from their actions, and if married, this would definitely affect the marriage. Unless the spouse is an addict. Then they’re both screwed.

Addiction to anything can definitely affect relationships especially when it's a romantic relationship, be it gambling addiction or addiction of some other kind, it always have a way of affecting most relationships because one partner will definitely not be fine with the addiction and will want the other to quit of course which isn't an easy thing to do.

The only time it will not really be a problem will be when both spouse happens to be sharing same addiction then they collectively enjoy it or want to look for a way to quit such habit, with gambling their financial life will definitely suffer at some point and this will get uncomfortable with either of them and that's where the problem sets in because the one addicted will always try to convince the other with the mindset that they have got hope of winning big some day meanwhile they are suffering in the mean time.

Gambling doesn't affect relationships, but addiction does affect people's relationships. And we need to be diligent in gambling responsibly to stay on the radar of safe relationships. When addicted close relatives, loved ones, would decline their relationship with the addict and stop being close to them, due to the rigorous bad acts of the addict. However, if a gambler stays responsible his spouse wouldn't have a hard time with the gambler, he can even earn respect from his girlfriend or family members. Because they already have this insight that gamblers are always compulsive and act in strange ways, when they come in contact with a gambler who doesn't possess an ill behavior like other compulsive gamblers, the woman would respect the man. That's why we all are expected to maintain a good name for gambling. Being addicted only spoils the respect people have for gamblers. Some people due to their experience with addicts, will never acknowledge the hard work responsible gamblers put in to avoid losing control.

In a family where both spouses are addicted, it'll be a disastrous occurrence or experience. As the finance meant to build the family would be used to gamble, which is not bad. However, if a gambler is in a relationship with a woman who is seeking consistent attention, she may not find it conducive staying with a gambler, compulsive or responsible. Gamblers do have special time for gambling and their spouse may also need that same time for discussion and attention to themselves. A gambler who doesn't comply with that lifestyle or attitude of hers may lose the woman, thereby affecting the relationship. When deeply attached to the girl, a responsible gambler can get addicted due to the heartbreak the breakup caused him. I prefer that the non gambler engage in gambling discussion with the gambler, so that they can always have a great time together. Gamblers tend to love people who are interested in gambling, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the next person would be a gambler. Having a positive perspective on gambling is enough.

In fact not all gamblers have the same life situation so emotional turmoil, social isolation and family problems may not be the case for everyone. I spent a lot of money and time in life but got no response from the social side but faced some obstacles from the family. I earn the money i need to gamble myself so i have no debt accumulation and financial privacy so i am free from family pressure. But those who become addicted to gambling from unemployment have problems in all aspects of social and family life because they collect money from family. However i prefer to work in privacy myself so i may disagree with you.

I think gambling will really benefit when people come with the right goals and point of view, so I think it's less likely for them to overdo it which can certainly cause them a lot of problems especially with their finances. Obviously if someone wants to enter a serious phase and commit with their partner to become a family then inevitably I think it's best that they stop, I understand it's difficult but maybe you can do it slowly starting with reducing gambling activities and the amount of budget allocated because of course there will be many needs that must be fulfilled.

Honestly I think that even if they have pretty good control and boundaries and also have fairly stable finances in my opinion there will always be concerns that are likely to occur. The worry is when you unconsciously enter the addiction phase which can eventually affect the finances of your family, so I still think stopping is better and you can do it slowly.

When you're single and rich, it's fun. It's different when talking about a family. You must prioritize now that you have duties. Money can't be scattered like confetti. You're no longer alone. I'm not saying gambling is evil. No, no. If you can responsibly do it, that's your business. However, moderation is vital. Don't let the pleasure of the gamble distract you from what counts. Talking about your family, partner, and kids. They're your jackpot, not a casino victory. If things are out of control, don't be ashamed to seek for help. It's okay to admit to gambling addiction. All of us need assistance sometimes. The smartest, most successful people I know? They know when to seek assistance. Professional help can make all the difference. So stand back, reassess, and realize that the house doesn't always win

Whenever someone is addicted stopping gradually can be hard to say is better to stay on the neutral than becoming an addicted gambler. We know as family or someone who is into relationship the man per say should be extremely careful with the way he gambles alternatively should have other source of income to be able to finance the family so that such person won't entirely rely on gambling to be able to sustain his family this is both a thing of concerns to the partners otherwise if they don't control themselves the family will end up being ruined. Anyone who can avoid greed can as well control himself from becoming a gamble addicts because it whenever someone is trying to recover what they have lost they ends up becoming a gamble addiction.

The gambler will be the isolated person most of the time,you can ask any gamblers.They will be isolated or try to being isolated himself from the relationship.The reason was the family members wife or mother,both will do advice to not play the gambling.The reason behind this was many gamblers will use their hard earned money in the gambling site and loss it.In order to save the important money,the female member of family will ask to stop this one.If the gambler play only with the free money,then the family will not be affected.

They doesn’t have any situation to be involved with your gambling business,because they get their money from you regularly.The gamblers should be more disciplined in the game play,because they should not involve themselves in the family members expenses money.

[uneng]

Talking about your family, partner, and kids. They're your jackpot, not a casino victory.

It's true. When there are partners and kids tied to the gambler, they become the priority. Hobbies and parties stay in second plan. Now the main goal of the gambler isn't to hit the jackpot anymore, but to maintain, protect and take care of his jackpot, as the most precious treasure he has.

If things are out of control, don't be ashamed to seek for help. It's okay to admit to gambling addiction. All of us need assistance sometimes. The smartest, most successful people I know? They know when to seek assistance. Professional help can make all the difference. So stand back, reassess, and realize that the house doesn't always win  

Everyone needs support in certain moments of life. That is part of being an imperfect human, full of potentials, but also with plenty of faulties and difficulties which in order to be overcome demand external help from another individuals, who may be our family itself, or professionals who are specialized, educated and skilled in helping others through efficient therapies and counseling. What someone must never do is to pretend being an omnipotent subject, who thinks to be self-sufficient. It will only makes things harder to deal with, especially the relationship with beloved ones, who will tend to become more and more distant...

[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.

Most definitely, at least at the point where it becomes a problem and not a rare casual bit of fun. When you're gambling once a month, or every few months, then you barely give it a second thought and get on with the rest of your life. However there are some that sink into addiction, which can eat up all your waking moments and drive your day. When you no longer have money or motivation to do anything else, then you could understand where a relationship would break down. Everything in moderation is key. When you are committing to someone it should mean that you prize them above all others, including gambling, so if they are fighting for first place then don't be surprised if they end up looking elsewhere for the attention they deserve.

I do not understand this. There are many gamblers in the world. Many gamblers are not addicts and have no problem financially because of gambling. What you are referring to are addicted gamblers. If you are not an addict, you can feel free to let your wife or mother know that you are gambling. It is not what they will even realize because they know that you are not wasting money on it and no disturbance from anyone. If you are responsible and being the one responsible for the finances of your family and taking good care of your children and you are moving forward financially, your spouce will value you and not think of your gambling or not. Just do it responsibly and not waste money on gambling.

I think this is important, gambling requires privacy for yourself without involving your family. If you involve your family, even if you are not addicted, there will be problems in the future.

Moreover, if there is a problem, women will definitely bring up gambling, so it is not surprising if we see news about people getting divorced because of gambling. And it is also important to be smart in allocating money for family needs and for gambling. Don't mix gambling money and money for your family.

What a story! Your situation is even the inverse to what many would have thought and based on the context of this title itself as you use gambling to cover for your finances and still have it as the hobby that helps you deal with the family pressure. This is one of the reasons why I say that it is not always the same with everybody, to some, it might be that gambling itself that is helping them to avoid a lot of issues and fight overthinking and depression at times. It is all about how you play it and take it the activity, that will determine what will eventually be imparted to the person by it. I hope gamblers will all be approaching it with all minds of sensitivity, they need to be calculative and be time conscious about it. I can't imagine myself gambling excessively and still wasting too much time on it. I am thorough and decisive on this and in all my gambling style, I don't think I have spent more than 3 hours at ago.

Personally, the fact that gambling could even affect one's relationship has never been my thing, although I do think it towards the angle that if the person is so irresponsible in his gambling, there could be a possibility for that, but if the person is responsible in his gambling, there is no possibility for that unless he just gambles when he is having issues with his relation to cool us. This could be good for some people instead of taking alcohol and others. But for the person who is playing responsibly and does not have issues with his relationships, gambling shouldn't be a problem as there will be a time for gambling and there will be time for family/relations. The two shouldn't mix at all, and one shouldn't deprive the other as there are wide gaps and time between them in living.

Dealing up with something isnt really that bad as long everything should really be in moderation. You cant really just that make yourself that ending up on a disaster if you are really just that responsible and mindful on the things that you are really that doing. It isnt really just that limited to finances but also into relationships as well on which we know that once you have compromised something which it isnt really just that limited money but also with time and treatment into your loved ones or other people then this do really signifies that there's  something wrong into the things that you've been doing.
Actions would be made would really be just that depending entirely on you on how you would gonna act into this one.

Can gambling affect your relationship? Of course on which on the time that you have kept a secret into your loved ones, compromise time spent and other related things then
it is better to stop and get rid of gambling immediately before you would be losing your loved ones and pretty much sure we dont all liking for it to happen.
This is why it would be best that you should be wary on the actions that you are taking.

the relationship with the wife is always the first to be affected when a person is addicted to gambling. when the money runs out, it is always a factor in a broken relationship. a family can't stay whole when finances are not sufficient, and then the wife will have to stand up and find a job to support their kid.

there have been stories in movies about this, you couldn't believe it would happen to one family in real life but it does. money plays a bigger role in a family.

The gambler who get affected by the gambling loss and they took a loan to rejoin the gambling to target the loss.Such people are gambling addiction in my opinion,because of his loan not only he get affected.The family of such people also affected in real life,because they didn’t have any funds for their proper food.The family may suffer with the monthly expenses,but they will play the gambling by not interfering with the financial struggles of the family.The important thing in the gambling addicted people mind will be to recover the loss in the gambling site at any cost.But they fail to understand it’s impossible until the gambler had good luck.The skill also plays important roles in the gambling winning and make money from gambling site.

Moderation is surely vital. I think gambling could still be fun when you’re married and rich. If you’re an individual who finds gambling fun when single, you could still indulge in the activity when you get married provided you strictly moderate your time indulging in such activities.

Also, if you’ve got enough money to comfortably afford to put some away to gamble whenever you want to, then money problems won’t pop up. With a lot of frequent gamblers, issues with money seems to be a common theme so as an individual who’s married and has the means to still comfortably afford his gambling lifestyle, then I don’t see how it could affect the relationship.
We’ve just got to be responsible with our activities most especially when you want to settle down.

[Doan9269]

We should not allow gambling to affect anything we are into, this is not about relationships alone but the work we do and other aspects of life we are into, we must learn to be able to make balance of not making things got affected by one for the other, so many gamblers already have made alot of mistakes that have cost them the sacrifice of the prestigious relationship all because they couldn't manage things up as they should with gambling.

Well said, no matter for the rich or the poor - money is the top reason of marital conflicts.
And in this matter, gambling addiction + more losses than wins definitely will make it worse.

Its ok to gamble as long we have a steady income and able to spare some of it for gamble and never hide it from our wife or gf.

[Wakate]

Relationship is something we need to make sure we protect and we don't allow gambling to affect us for a very long time. For us to safe our relationship, we are make sure that we keep anything about our gambling activities from our family. Relationship should be solid and we should try everything possible to make sure that we always keep trying our best to make sure that gambling do not affect us too much. Addiction is one thing that can disrupt us and make our family to know about our gambling activities and if this continues, it could affect us in a long time.
