Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[piebeyb]

And if we talk about  gambling effect on relationship,  there is many incidents that friend  ki*lls his friend  for not getting the gambling money. Every thing has bad effects of addiction same in this case. So I think it should be taken only for entertainment purpose not in addiction. Here Self control is the  main fact.

Yes, it's true that anything related to addiction will have an impact not only on yourself but on your relationships with family or friends, that's why it's necessary to control yourself before gambling because so far people have come out of the right mindset, gambling should just be for fun, not for fun. making money instantly is clearly impossible, especially since not many people are rich in this world because of gambling.


If you want to gamble, make sure your close friends know about your gambling activities or your family, for example your wife, to make it easier for you and remind you when you exceed the limit, at least someone can alert you and stop you later, but my advice is to never hide your gambling activities, we should be open and Be honest with people you trust because that will be better.

I have personally watched several family got seperated, and it's all as a result of husband man always gambling away money that the wife believed would have been used for something much more important.

In my area where I live, there have been several instances where the neighborhood had to rush out to separate fights between husband and wife, and when tracing the root cause of the fight, it was discovered that husband man is unable to properly fend for his family because he spends more of his money and time gambling.

A very good friend of mine got seperated from his wife and kid, all as a result of his addiction to gambling, till today, this friend know not where his wife and kid are, it's more than 5 years already.

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 changes a person's financial status. If you win from gambling, the financial condition develops and if you lose in gambling, the financial condition worsens. So since the whole financial situation is involved here some effects can wear on the relationship due to gambling. If you have money, you will have good relations with all your relatives, including family, and if your financial condition is bad, you will lose relations with everyone. So gambling can definitely affect relationships

If gambling is just for entertainment then I don't think they should be chaotic in many ways. After all, the fact is that there are still those who gamble as an income and with these existing factors, it seems that gambling can no longer be said to be entertainment. Because after all, if gambling is entertainment then those who gamble should feel fresher and better after gambling. But the truth is, most of those who have gambled will feel difficult because maybe, with the loss of money they have then it makes them mentally disturbed too. Also maybe, there are still many bad effects which will result from losses experienced in gambling. Therefore, gambling has a negative impact on your social life and yes, especially on your partner or relationship too.

This is a sad aspect of gambling, isn't it?

Can the husband and wife come to some mutual consensus that the husband will allocate a certain amount of money to his personal hobbies and the wife will have no objection to it? So the husband gambles with that money or does whatever he likes, and the wife should never get upset about it.

Similarly the wife will also be given some money by husband and she can spent on makeup or whatever hobby and husband will have no objection about it. Until or unless there is mutual agreement and understanding between husband wife, it will only result in the end of relationship.

[coin-investor]

Everything that is excessive can affect not only your relationship but everything in your life like wealth and health but it has a big impact on relationships because you will have no time for your family and all you can think of is how to gamble and where you can find money to gamble.
Many cases of divorce come from betrayal, loss of confidence deception and its roots come from gambling addiction although there are many gamblers who can take care of their family and their relationships with them these gamblers are those who know what their priorities in life and it's not gambling.

Gambling is meant to compliment and not dominate a person's lifestyle, so for me, the moment a person start letting his/her gambling activity starts to dominate & affect how he/she relate with others in the society, that's a first sign for call to action, as that is how gambling addiction gradually begins without the user even taking notice of it, so on that note, it's good to people to have time for everything, as too much of everything they say is bad.

If only such consensus would work, well, it can sure work, but only with a couple who are financially comfortable, not for couple living from hand to mouth, imagine where the husband goes out in the morning, comes back in the evening with money that is not even enough for the family to eat and enjoy what they really want, the wife have to managed the money to put a thing or two together, and then on of that, the husband demand to be allowed to set some money aside for his personal hobbie, and when asked what that hobbie is, he replies "gambling", I can imagine how furious that wife must be at the man .

The truth is, for a man to be gambling while the wife is aware, and they still both live peacefully, it's two things.
Either the husband and the wife are both gamblers or, they are so financially comfortable that the woman doesnt care how her husband choose to spend his money as long as she always get whatever she ask for from the husband.

Doesn't this all depend on the mindset of each gambler?
As in the title of the other thread, gambling must be done carefully, gambling must have a healthy mindset and this is what I remember from these two threads, an example is that all gambling activities carried out by a person must remain committed to a healthy and mature mindset governing everything. finances for daily needs and gambling when you have money left over from daily needs and most importantly, if you already have a wife, giving money to the family is the most important thing.
So if one day your family finds out that you are gambling, it won't be a big problem or it won't be a relationship breaker because even though you are gambling, you are mature enough to be able to share your money fairly.

I guess you emphasized the important part not enough in your post, which is that the user does not even take notice of the issue. I think this is the most dangerous about any addiction. It's like the person that gradually raises alcohol consumption from twice a month, to once a weekend, to twice a weekend, to one beer every day. Since the doses seems to be under control because it is only one beer a day, the person also thinks that everything is fine, but is it really?

I just heard someone saying in a Youtube video that the easiest way to find out whether it should be called an addiction or not is to just say "ok, I don't do this or that for 14 days in a row". No matter what it is, but any habit, which quickly gets confused with addiction. You could take coffee and caffeine as well. If it's only a habit, then break the habit for a while, but most people can't and I fully admit that I know what caffeine addiction is. I've been on it like a maniac and stopping is hard. Gambling addiction must be way worse because it has a whole different level of dopamine pushes. Can't compare it with a cup of coffee or a RedBull of course.

Gambling does affect relationships.

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

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

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

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

What kind of relationship are you referring to? Is it our husband's, if there is one? With relatives or friends?Actually, all of that will affect what I mentioned.

I think OP refers to any relationship. It can be the relationship with husband/wife, with kids, with family members, with friends, or with the neighborhood. Gambling habits can bring both positive and negative impacts to the relationship, it depends on how we manage our gambling habits. When we spend too much time and funds, it probably brings negative impacts. But if we only use small funds and spend only some minutes or few hours, it seems to have no bad impacts.

But gambling also has a good effect when you win a large amount of money from it. And when that happens, of course, your own family and friends will be happy for you.

Other people only can feel happiness when we want to share the prizes.  
I mean when we win good prizes, spend some money to share with others. For example, use some money for a holiday with the whole family members or treat friends to take a lunch.

But when you often lose gambling and your behavior changes because you have an addiction to it, your relationships with your family, relatives, and friends will definitely be affected.

Sure, when we become an addict, the behavior may change. We can't control ourselves to limit the funds and time for gambling. We also becomes too obsessed with the prizes. Because we spend too much time and funds, we forget to communicate with others. We probably are getting rarely gather with our close people. This is surely to ruin the relationship with others. That's why we must remind ourselves to avoid anything that can lead us to addiction.

Well, I personally think that even a little time and money spent on gambling can still affect a relationship, most especially, if the partner is not one that like his or her partner gambling , he or she can demand that the partner stop gambling totally, and when he or she refuses to stop , it becomes a problem which if not we'll managed, could escalate into something bigger and serious.

For example, I myself don't like my wife gambling, and when we were  dating, I asked her if she liked to gamble, said no, that infact, she hated gamblers because they always appear irresponsible to her, I was happy for the fact that she does not gamble, because I didn't plan on settling down with gambler like myself, it wouldnt make sense.
And she also told me she hated gamblers as they always appear irresponsible to her, this made me never open up to her that I gamble , and lucky enough, I am not an addict, so it's very difficult for her to find out .

i can say you're lucky that up until now, she has not found out about your "secret" life in gambling.  but i guess, when the time comes that she learned it, maybe, she will be more accepting if you can tell that you have full control of your gambling activities.
but if you are just playing occasionally, i guess, there's no harm done here. as you know how much budget you can spend and the time you allotted on the games.

Let's hold on and think for a second from the other point of view in romantic relationship. Can gambling actually ruin a romantic relationship where the both couples are gamblers? I don't think so. Birds of a feather flock together as they say. The bond between two or more persons becomes stronger when they share a common goal, dream, and vision.

I haven't seen couples who are addicted to gambling but I know there are. My prediction or guess is that their bond is stronger. I may say,  a couple that gambles together, stays together.

In a relationship you must limit a lot of things, either good or bad things, whether you are a gambler or not, so there will be no problems in your relationship.
Addicted gamblers can not be in some relationships because not everyone will like to be with someone who is addicted to gambling. Many couples have separated because of too much gambling. Some gamblers have bet on their houses and cars. Now they are left with nothing and their relationship is nowhere to be found again. I have a belief that there is no medication required for an addicted gambler, but there is a lot of medication that a drug addict can take to quit drugs, so as a gambler, we should gamble with care, if it takes us to keep or gambling habits as a secret just to save our relationship with either our children, parent's or love ones, we should do so for the relationship not to separate.

Gambling can basically cause various impacts, but all of the impacts can still be minimized if a gambler does not gamble beyond his limits. Someone who no longer controls their gambling tends to experience bad impacts from gambling, so of course these impacts can affect many things, including family relationships.

I have seen the fact that gambling can take away much of the addict's happiness, but only if they have completely failed to control themselves in gambling. If they gamble wisely, then gambling is just for fun, not to spend all the money without limits.
