Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[bangjoe]

The fact that impulsive gamblers have a destructive character in their environment, both relations with family or with people who are nearby, those who are impulsive in gambling have a negative impression in most cultural environments in this world and that is closely related to financial matters.

I think you can read the suggestions and explanations from other members, and that is not much different in the interpretation of what you ask here, I hope you get a satisfied answer.

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 cannot possibly affect social life but gambling addiction can really disrupt our social life,
- if you are addicted to gambling you will definitely beg your friends to borrow money and will never return it,
- if you are addicted to gambling you will definitely be at odds with your partner because You spend most of your time gambling,
- if you are addicted to gambling, all you can think about is money and your desire to commit a crime is really big,

so the problem here is not gambling but gambling addiction.

The answer is very simple: yes, gambling affects relationships with other people, especially when it comes to affecting them in a negative way. You don't need to do much research to find out about this. when most people play, they lose track of time and money spent and problems start at home, things get much worse when the life of a young couple with small children, if the man starts playing a lot he starts to ignore his wife and we all know that women tend to not like being ignored, the man also starts to ignore his children and as if that wasn't enough on this list of bad things, he starts spending all his money on casino

because of him spending all his money at the casino, they stay at home without paying bills and this creates violent fights at his house, his wife starts complaining about him to the rest of the family and the problem starts to escalate so quickly that even his friends and neighbors find out that he is a person who keeps playing in casinos and loses money that was meant to pay bills, everyone starts to hate him and this person goes into depression, as he gets in depression and loneliness, he spends more hours playing games and becomes addicted to gambling. I read many stories of people who said they loved each other very much, got married and lived happily according to them

but when one of them entered the world of gambling, life changed a lot for the worst to the point that every day at home there were intense fights, attacks and in the end separation because the person who entered the world of gambling became addicted and they sold everything they had, so they had nothing left that would allow them to continue being a couple, I remember 3 weeks ago I posted a link to a sad story about a person who was married, had children and a good job, didn't play anything, until who one day entered the world of gambling and in 4 months he lost his wife and job because he couldn't stop thinking about gambling

The thing is that this time around, gamblers see gambling differently, as not just entertainment but as a means of getting money abruptly. That's why you will even see some people gambling with money that isn't there, and imagine someone you trust using your hard-earned money to gamble against your will and In your absence. it's definitely going to cause an issue between you and the person, and you will end up losing trust in the person. In such a situation, the gambling habits of that person have just interfered with the relationship between you and that person. That's how it is with some people and their parents, some men with their wives, some fathers with their children, and other scenarios.

If there is no awareness among people that gambling is not a means of earning money, they will just continue doing it without stopping and even borrow money from other people. Those who cannot return the loan money, that's when their relationship will be disrupted and even if the money can be returned, their relationship with that person will still be disrupted. So your gambling habit can interfere with your relationships with other people, and if it is disturbed, it may be difficult for you to repair it. But if there is awareness to start reducing gambling habits, they can slowly improve their relationships with other people because other people will see that they can change slowly.

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.

The first example I set is when a gambler is always asking for money from their partner and using it to gamble, but yet they don't win, and even if they win, before they return home, they gamble off their small win. If it continues like that, it will definitely cause problems between the two parties. In a situation where the man has refused to handle the important bill and is thereby only gambling with the money, it can still cause issues in the relationship. Again, your partner can ask you to stop gambling because of the habit they have formed in you, but when you don't want to stop, it can still cause issues. Before, I was having issues in my relationship because of gambling, but I did not stop gambling; I only do things more properly, and it's not causing any issues again.

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.

Definitely. Gambling cannot make your relationship bad alone. Addiction does. When people gamble too much than they can afford, it leads to financial losses and maybe personal connections too.

However it can also affect relationships in a good way. Most people do gambling for entertainment. I also learned from this forum that there are people who do gambling to raise fund for charities. Responsible gambling creates income and genuine relationship with different people.

Unless his/her partner has a lot of money, this will not be a problem. But if you were just a average individual who works hard for your money and then your partner just keep asking for it to gamble, then I will say that it will be a big problem indeed.

I have this friends though, when we gamble and let's say my friends partner is winning, and he keeps on getting that win and then he lose in roulette, then I will hear them arguing, lol. Because the girl will reason out that she is winning but my friend just keeps asking for those win and in return he has string of bad luck and so he can't return the money. 

[Popkon6]

from the title I thought you were asking question, but it seems like you are trying to pass information to forum members.

I believe your title should have “gambling addiction” and not just “gambling” in it. Gambling in general does not affect any relationship the only time gambling becomes a problem is when the bettor fails to control their activities and eventually starts practicing gambling habits that are not healthy for example, accumulating debts to gamble, not managing their bankroll properly, chasing losses, and eventually getting addicted to gambling… those are some of the things that could lead to an unhappy relationship but if the person is disciplined and able to keep good practice then it won’t have any effect on them or their relationship.

So I don’t think it’s safe to generalize it, like I stated earlier.

If gambling becomes an addiction, it can be very costly and destroy relationships. And if the gambling is small then the gamblers' relationship is strengthened and knowledge is increased. Gambling is only a strategy by adopting this strategy the gambler can surely become fulfilled if he gambles regularly. I have seen the consequences for those who become addicted to gambling both dire and estrangement from relatives. But we are mainly slightly addicted to online gambling and indulge in small amounts of gambling. People who are addicted to gambling for a long period of time suffer occasional losses, they get tired of gambling, then they run towards losses and these people lose their relationships and their intelligence decreases day by day.

They make a decision on their own without hesitation, and they know the risk at the very first but they still choose having a play, the result will just come up when the game ends if the decision makes a good take or not, of course, if the player losses the game there's a possible outcome how they will response with this situation if the relative makes a discussion during and after the game the player surely will not respond or make a lot of conversation and open up whats happen. Only the gambler makes a good decision is once they recover of the shock they experience after the game. If you push them too much with that state of not good they surely make an impulsive decision that gives more risk to them or to their family.

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.

I have this friends though, when we gamble and let's say my friends partner is winning, and he keeps on getting that win and then he lose in roulette, then I will hear them arguing, lol.

This is like just a cute way of interaction with each other when both of them gamble. I don't see something on it but just how cute this relationship is and better to remain like that than arguing with serious matters because of how incompetent the other one in terms of handling the situation.

[Outhue]

Gambling can affects your relationship if you are a stupid gambler who don't have any gambling boundaries, who is less responsible and only think about becoming a millionaire through gambling, there is 1000 percent chance that the gamblers plan will fail and he will end up broke, this is why a gambler must learn how to gamble safely and responsibly, so that even if the gambling journey doesn't end well you will have other things going on in your life financially.

Everyone understands the risk but they fail to take it serious, I've seen few gamblers knowing how risky gambling is but they still end up getting nailed to the wall because of gambling, if they truly understand the risk why did they end up like that?

Gambling addiction comes with a lot of bad results, you will lose your best friends and your loved ones, you will end up be alone, because they are there warning you about gambling, trying to stop you from addiction, but you aren't helping yourself.

[Apocollapse]

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.

This means that your gambling is controlled enough so that you can limit your budget and also control your emotions. Sometimes when gamblers have become addicts, they often spend all their money, neglecting their family, wife and children, causing their relationship to fall apart, there are also times when they lose at gambling, they vent their emotions on their partner and We often hear news in the media about cases like that.

What is meant by influence in this thread is for gamblers who do not control themselves properly and as long as they can maintain a relationship with their partner there are no problems, I also gamble only my wife knows and even then she limits my weekly gambling budget, because I gamble often in weekends so he knows how much money to spend when I gamble, honest and open because I trust him and keep the relationship harmonious even though I often gamble on weekends just to have fun.

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.

The fact that impulsive gamblers have a destructive character in their environment, both relations with family or with people who are nearby, those who are impulsive in gambling have a negative impression in most cultural environments in this world and that is closely related to financial matters.

That's right, on average when they want to start playing there seems to be no hesitation at all from them, they deposit money very confidently. I think it's one of the hypnosis of gambling itself that makes gamblers like very sure of the final result that they think they will win, but in reality they lose again haha. I've honestly felt it and indeed we really don't think twice about depositing money because there is such a strong urge there, but well there I don't fully expect results that are always good because of course before playing I have agreed with myself whatever the results I have to be responsible. And well indeed the problem point is there, when at the beginning they expect victory but the final answer is far from expectations, and of course in that situation many do not accept the results and I say on average they will start to get caught up with their emotions,
then continue to deposit money with the aim of revenge, and well then they will enjoy a period of addiction that will greatly torment their finances.

Even if you do have tons of money but doesnt mean that you would really be just treating it as fine because we know that money cant really be unlimited and if you are really that spending that much or having that

kind of impulsive treatment towards gambling then for sure you would really be ending up on getting wrecked. This is why it would really be always wise that everything should really be in moderation and the most
important thing is that you do really be able to inform your partner that you are really spending money on that so that there would be no questions asked and would be having those trust issues.
Can gambling could affect relationship? Yes of course on which on the time that you would really be hiding something specially money which wife or spouses doesnt really like then you would really know on whats next. 

Gambling isnt bad as long it would really be in moderation and you are really that spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose or really just that less or not compromising
yourself when it comes financial aspects. Take everything in control so that you wont really be having no problems!

In any good relationship especially for gamblers life, antagonism can begin when one gambler constantly loses by borrowing money or gambling with the other's money. If a gambler takes money from his partner a few times and loses then his partner will become somewhat resentful of the gambler and at some point there will be discord between them. In such a situation, it is natural that the gambler's partner would ask him to take a break from gambling. If the decision of the partner and the the gambler are not same, there will be conflict and at some point the relationship between the gambler and the partner will be destroyed.

[TheSpiral]

absolutely yes gambling can effect relationships in many way, as first it will have impact on children of a family which will also be involved in gambling. There are lots of gamblers with which neither his family members wants to continue relationships nor his friends do so.

In today's era people don't make any relationships with those who are not financially stable may be he is a family member or some stranger. So the gambler is not financially stable therefore every person of a family move aways from him as they are in a fear that gambler will take loan from them and will not return to them back.

In short everyone wants to live a happy life and don't want a relationships with gamblers because gambler is mentally disturbed when he Don't have any amount to be use for gambling.

[passwordnow]

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.

[inthelongrun]

There are some countries that banned gambling. Yet most rich and well-developed countries in the world allowed gambling. The most livable countries in the world also allowed gambling.

Gambling should not affect relationships because what's the big deal when we're just having fun within our limits? Unless someone is paranoid or it has something to do with beliefs. What affects relationships are addictions. Addiction is a disorder so everything that is too much is a disorder and is not healthy not just within ourselves but also in our relationships. Addiction to the internet, liquor, food, computer and mobile games, sports, sex, attention, gambling, and many more. But isn't it obvious that addiction affects relationships?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

gambling cannot possibly affect social life but gambling addiction can really disrupt our social life,
- if you are addicted to gambling you will definitely beg your friends to borrow money and will never return it,
- if you are addicted to gambling you will definitely be at odds with your partner because You spend most of your time gambling,
- if you are addicted to gambling, all you can think about is money and your desire to commit a crime is really big,

so the problem here is not gambling but gambling addiction.

What affects our relationship is not gambling, but the addiction in it, how often have we appear to be without a relationship, but when we are gambling as an addicted type then it separate us from the close ties we have with those around us, this is talking more of our personalities, what are the constituents of what we were being made of, are good are be able to succeed in controlling the way we gamble such that others don't see the negative influence in it manifesting over our lives.
