Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[TopTort777]

the one I witnessed was a man his wife told to stop gambling due to the fact that they hardly feed well and the little they have the husband will use it for gambling , so when she tried so hard to stop the husband and he refused so she had no option but to leave the man.

That's so bad. Why don't people select partners who love what they are doing? I see that some partners have issues because of the love their husbands have for football. If I want to get married today, I want to make sure that my wife is someone who likes what I like, and vice versa. Some gamblers are the reason why their relationships also get ruined, just like the example you gave. Someone who has family to take care of is still wasting the little money they get on gambling, and they don't even make any wins. They are the kind of gamblers that even stake on big odds because of their greed to make a huge win. I know I gamble, but I don't spend a lot on gambling; there are more important things to take care of. Even if I gamble, I will only sacrifice a small amount for the fun at that moment.

Maybe the reason is that before they get married, they didn't discuss each other's hobbies and vices? because for me, if I know that my partner is having an obsession in gambling which may affects in our future marriage life, I'll think twice before I agree on getting married not because I don't love him but I want to know first if he can sacrifice to leave the gambling for the sake of our future or not. I don't want to suffer to the things that I didn't do in the end. If you're partner doesn't want to change for a better then think and decide what should you do.

But isnt marriage or relationship is about finding compromises for each other, finding unite solution and making sacrifices. We are all imperfect. Ok, you will think twice before marring a guy who has gambling obsession. But he might also think twice before giving you a ring if there is something that does not suit him in your relationship. If your future husband must sacrifice gambling, what will you give up to make things equally? It is hard for an adult to change habits, and making changes "just because" isnt correct, as I believe everything must be balanced.

I have many friends who have long become gambling addicts in a way that I personally did not expect. I can make a comparison between their personalities before and after indulging in gambling. The changes that occur in the personalities of gamblers can never be hidden because their behaviors and habits change to adapt to their new psychological situation, given that gambling addiction falls within the category of psychological diseases and all of its symptoms can be studied based on analytical psychology.
What is most striking is that spending all their time gambling makes them busy all the time and they do not have opportunities to pay attention to other things, and thus they become neglectful of themselves and their relationships in their small environment.

Honestly, it is easy for people to judge whether someone is a gambler or not, by looking at or paying attention to both the psychological and physical condition of the gambler. People who have been involved in the world of gambling for a long time will eventually see changes in themselves, such as appearing restless and quiet when they experience defeat.

Yes, that's right, I have also seen gamblers who are busy with their gambling activities such as online gambling, every day they are busy playing with gadgets so they forget and are not aware that there are activities that are more useful for them. In their daily lives, they tend to be closed and busy playing with gadgets at home, they rarely communicate or socialize with friends around them.

There's always sacrifices when dealing with things like this. Honestly speaking, it's tough to embrace someone with knowing that
there's a possible gambling related issues.

To be fair with your future wife, are you also willing to embrace a girl with a possible gambling problem? But, I like the way you provide your opinion.

It's a balance that both individual needs to weight before taking the responsibility. There's always a way if both parties will discuss and
talk about the possible way to balance their relationships.

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.

Aside from financial instabilities, emotional turmoil and social isolation the most and common problem is your time with your love ones. Since you spend more of your time with gambling you will miss the precious and quality time to bond with your family. This is where family problem will emerge due to the gap between the family members.

The problem is most people think gambling is easy not until they try it for themselves . And when they try to prove a point that they can conquer this with their sportting knowledge, emotions get the better of them and this doesn't only negatively affect their financial well-being but day gets runied and whoever they come in contact with can feel the negative energy coming from such a person , hence gambling can indeed ruin a relationship!!!

And the worst thing about gambling is that if you aren't winning,you could find your self in debt and if you fail to payback this could ruin your business relation with creditors, and if creditor is your friend this could be the end of the road for such a relationship.

[moneystery]

here we should be able to differentiate between gambling and addiction. whatever it is, if you are addicted, the impact will not be good for yourself and the people around you. gambling will not affect our relationships or other things if we play normally and can limit ourselves. but if it has entered the addiction stage it will clearly damage ourselves and affect our relationships with the people around us, including our wife or children.

If so, we must control our gambling activities so that we know whether we have started to become addicted to gambling or whether we are still within the limits of reasonableness so that we can still gamble while remaining careful. If everything is still under our control, we will not have any problems with gambling, and of course, it will not have a bad effect on our relationships with the people around us. For this reason, we must continue to learn about self-control and not lose self-control because that will cause many problems to happen to us and the people around us.

Numerous people think that by learning a little about sports, they can easily guess the result and win a lot of money. Sure, but as you said, its not that easy. Feelings are strong, especially when money is involved. And what happens when those feelings suddenly explode? It can definitely make the whole day bad, and everyone around can feel it.

Worryingly, gambling has a lot of negative effects. It can be hard on relationships, and when you owe money as well as losing it, things get even dirtier. I think its important to remember that business and personal ties can overlap, especially with creditors. The problem is so much messier if the creditor is a friend. A real web of problems, isnt it?

In their daily lives, they tend to be closed and busy playing with gadgets at home, they rarely communicate or socialize with friends around them.

This can be easily explained based on psychological findings that say that there are certain types of personalities that are more likely to be addicted. These types are unproductive and do not have skills, and therefore their awareness of a happy life is summed up in quick profit based on luck and not on employing capabilities or skills. The more advanced the age, the more the person becomes defeated in the face of his whims and the less he believes in himself. In this analysis, I mean the majority of addicted gamblers and not that group of wealthy people who like to spend time spending money at the casino tables. These people have the same diseases but different diagnoses.

Gambling can actually cause problem to our relationship when we put all our mind,sould and emotions in it,and it is also then that we become addicted to it.One time ago when I was less busy,and the only thing I had to be doing was gambling,I had problems with my girlfriends almost everyday because she hates it,and I couldn't help myself but to continue in the act that she hates.Sometimes I see that the reason why some persons gamble is when they lacked something serious to do,it will make them think of nothing else but to gamble.
It takes an understanding girlfriend or wife to cope with this and tolerate all of these all in the name of love.

No matter what the topic is, conflict of interest sometimes really disrupt relationship especially if you are really into it. It just depend on what you will do to resolve the situation, will you adjust, cut your gambling, or cut your relationship, it will hardly depends on you. Each people has a different vision on gambling and majority of people don't like it given the fact that it has a financial risk in it and of course the horror stories that made other people fall on their all time low because of gambling. It's hard to change peoples mind that why it will all depend on the gambler in your situation on how will you weight your love.

Even if it's not  gamble related, I believe any relationship that has addiction involved there will certainly be a problem in it because the addicted spouse always tend to cause problem. A gambling addict is someone with poor thinking and this type of mind is not good if one wants to maintain a healthy relationship because a sound mind and respect is what every lady wants.

I disagree with you on that statement. Most everyone you see restless or look frustrated is actually a gambler. It’s difficult to really tell or look at a person through whatever means and tell that the person is gambling. Some have their individual problems that they are facing. So you cannot just conclude. The best way to identify a gambler is when you see the person gambling.

And likewise it also takes an understanding boyfriend and husband to be able to mix both gambling and quality time and yet not having issue with his girlfriend or wife when they need your attention the most, which maybe she must have been seeking your attention, and yet you go about  ignoring her while you choose to gamble, because one thing I have noticed about ladies is that they are a jealous being, who could go an extra mile just to protect or have that which belongs to her. So on the nutshell, gambling can not afford any relationship, but it takes an individual's maturity to be able to maintain relationships. As we are ought to gamble responsibly with an amount you can always afford to lose.

being a gambling addict will never be able to provide benefits for an individual, in fact you will only suffer losses. there are many couples who end up separating because one of their partners decides to choose to be a heavy gambler rather than looking after their family. Gambling addicts will always have the intention to lie, they will always do it in order to fulfill their desire to continue gambling, there are even many husbands who in the end do not give money to their wives because they prefer to gamble. Always make gambling just for entertainment, nothing more, don't get caught up in your thoughts which are misleading because of gambling.

If you don't have seperate accounts and seperate budgets, it might. Or even if you have and you end up playing from shared account, your relationship will be on thin ice.
I would advice anyone that if they want to gamble in relationship where you are planning purchases together, you might want to talk with your partner instead of hiding your hobby.
Because if your partner is correct for you they will understand and they might even help you manage your gambling, so that it won't get out of hand.

To bad (or not lol) I am already married First of all I would like to point on that gambling is not a problem for me, so this isnt a "possible gambling problem". I dont think that gambling addiction appears because of person gambles to much. It is more emotional and personal. One can become addicted after first bet, other can start and stop his gambling hobby for years. I am lucky to find woman that shares my vision of balance. We dont bother each other much and speak out every single possible problem or misunderstanding between. As long as gambling does not interfere family, I or my wife can freely gamble. As to balance things, I dont bother her on stuff like spending money on manicure or other cosmetic procedures. That is just her, that is non of my business. If she wants to do it, then she is free to do it, as long as this does not harm family or lives.

This is misleading, and it is a gross generalization. Not everyone who suffers from personality disorders, whether behavioral or mental, is necessarily a gambling addict. The exact definition could be as follows: “Any personality suffering from behavioral addiction is necessarily a personality suffering from other diseases, and the opposite is not true because not everyone who suffers from these disorders is a gambler.”
The pathological nature of these habits cannot be denied, and therefore this is the closest possible explanation to logic, according to what I think and according to what I have read in many articles and scientific studies that have studied the subject.

When there is a breakdown in communication and quarrel about finances then expect that gambling is negatively affecting the relationship whether it is between husband and wife, friends and co-workers, when you only think of gambling and you allocate more money on gambling than what your family should be getting then yes gambling has a negative impact in your behavior and relationship.

In fact, this is the first sign that people will notice when you are too deep in gambling, you forget your obligation to your work and family, and you like to talk about gambling more than your relationship.
Even if you're gambling you need to prioritize your family, your family is everything and it cannot be replaced by gambling.

[Ojima-ojo]

Allowing gambling to get involved and affect your relationships is bad and at some time it will be better if we don't gamble at all and just to sustain our relationships, and this is when your immediate family say your wife/husband so you have to let it go.


So for that, we need to have a basic understanding of our spouses before we decide whether to gamble or not and if your partner and family are okay with your gambling habit it then means that you may be free to do so and if the other then staying off becomes the only option.
