Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[Twentyonepaylots]

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 has caused lots of strain in relationships especially from the standpoint of addiction.

Gambling itself may not cause a lot of problem with people involved in the relationship, but if gambling consumes more time, or worst becomes an addiction then it is not only the relationship will have an issue it will be also become a personal issue. I believe mere gambling would not caused that much of a problem if you only entertain yourself.

The financial imbalance caused by gambling isn't cool with the parties involved, it makes parties prioritise gambling over responsibilities thereby leaving a sense of neglect to the other party.

Finance alone would heavily affect, more problematic with gambling. Both end should meet in the middle if one party do really want to gamble, and would not touch the finance problem, again because of addiction.

The negative effect of gambling on relationships can never be overemphasised.

I don't think there is a word 'overemphasize', best to describe it is that gambling affects basically everything from personal to finance.

Normally Gambling is not something that  will just affect some one relationship mostly well managed, but what can cause that is being addicted to it when you're gambling non stop to cover your losses really fast and end losing more in that process can lead to financial difficulties, mostly when you start using your hard earn cashes when supposed to be using cashes  you risk. That may also lead mental break down and anger issues affecting your partner.

Gambling can affect the relationship whether it is well managed or not, that is if either of the party didn't like it and it was never shown before the relationship or marriage began. Some character can be hidden during the beginning of a relationship and they start displaying them when it has gone into the relationship. If the other party later discover especially if the question about such character was asked and it was denied.

For example pertaining to gambling, some ladies don't like their men to gamble for their own reasons, like such women usually feel it is wasting of money. So if the man deny being a gambler in the initial stage and later start displaying it, it can cause problem.

That would be annoying to anybody, and sound like a deceit to most women. It's important to inform her about our gambling habit, same applies to a woman who gambles. Most men wouldn't be comfortable marrying a gambler because it could look like she's irresponsible and may not be able to stop. So, while the situation would differ from one person to another, it's safe to say that some people don't care if their spouse gambles, provided he's doing the right thing. On the contrary, the society has painted the gambling niche with a negative review and it's affecting lots of gamblers who are married. In that case, if a gambler doesn't inform his spouse about his gambling habit, he should be safe by hiding all his gambling activities. One would say for how long would that continue, before she finds out. Well, we'd always talk to gamblers about the importance of self-discipline in such a situation. It's better to conceal the information than to have gambling cause a problem in the marriage. Gambling addiction can erupt out of marriage problems or divorce, as the high rate of divorce is circulating in society. Only a few people want to remain in a marriage. Hence they're only looking out for a small problem, to file for the divorce. These challenges can cause a mental disorder to both spouses, but the gambler would suffer more losses. As he'd be vulnerable to addiction. Moving forward, nobody would want to tie the knot with a divorced gambling addict. Life could happen to the gambler, and things begin to fall apart. Like in a thread where the gambler, asks about loneliness as an enforcer of gambling addiction, if a gambler begins to feel rejected in society, he won't be able to think straight. Thereby, making multiple gambling mistakes. In a nutshell, I'd say that the player should keep hiding it when married, the same way he did during courtship.

If you are addicted, not only will your relationship with your partner be damaged, but your business will also be destroyed, everything will be destroyed if gambling becomes an addiction. Usually, if someone has experienced an addiction, the negative impacts are very real, starting from finances and attention to our partner will also decrease because we will be busy thinking about gambling and forget our duties towards our partner.

[hedgeh0g]

Definitely yes, I think that the one who gambles tries to hide it from his partner, because if he finds out, it will have a bad effect on their relationship. It is unknown how far the player will go. If the game comes first for him, then the partner will leave immediately, because he does not want to live with problems that can drive him into great depression. It will be really hard to get out after this. But there will be those who will remain and constantly support and try to fight this problem. I can't say that this is good, because your partner condemns himself to long suffering and sinks to the bottom along with the player. This will not be a full life, it will be a constant struggle.

An irresponsible gambler that becomes addicted will affect everything that he does. Job, business, family, etc.

Be it known that everything that's going to make him money can really be affected because he's irresponsible. And that's one big challenge whenever a gambler faces that.

The sure thing with that is he's going to notice all of the changes and even if he want to change for the better, he'll have hard time.

Some partners do not actually like it in a relationship when it happens that their partners are into gambling and thus would like them quite and have them do another thing with their time and in such a case if they didn't, it might likely result in both of them having issues, while another angle where gambling could affect a relationship is when a partner has become so addicted to gambling in such a way that they are no longer giving much attention to their fellow partner in that relationship, and no one likes it in a relationship when less attention is paid to them.

The gambler will not choose his life partner who was in gambling,it was good to have friendship then sharing your life.Because if the gambler became your wife,he know how much you are spending in gambling.So he will ask to quit the gambling,but if you many the non gambler as your wife.Then you are lucky to have a good relationship.Because she doesn’t know what is gambling,if you play the game without her knowledge.Then you will have peacefully gambling game,they won’t ask about your expenses until you had stopped the money giving to her family expenses.If you manage the bankroll will be the better deal to live happy life with gambling.

However he hides his gambling activities from his partner but his partner will definitely suspect him and he will find out too, he will be suspicious of a change in bad behavior because irresponsible gamblers easily get emotional about things and they also attack their partner even though he has not done anything big wrong. So it is better for you to be honest with yourself, whether it is appropriate for you to hide gambling from your partner or gamble by implementing strict rules for gambling as entertainment and determining limits on the use of funds, so that you do not experience gambling addiction and family relationships will remain good, he also believes to allow to gamble because you do not use high money for any bets.

There is a difference between couples and maybe people who are just dating. If it is ordinary dating, it might not mean much if the man does not reveal to the girl that he gambles and the relationship can be smooth without issues. But once it is marriage, I seriously advice that as a man, your wife should be aware of your gambling habit. This will enable her to be a check on you when you are gambling excessively. But blanking your partner out totally will cause a big problem and trust issues when she discovers.

[Huppercase]

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.

Most of the people that I know who gamble do not do well are those who are addicted to gambling. Things get worse for most people like that, but if you are gambling for fun, then I don’t see any harm that gambling will do to the person. But don’t always pass your limit, just have fun whenever you feel like it. Don't have the mindset to make money from gambling.

When a man has nothing to do and has no way of making money and see only one option, they make sure that the option gives them what they want no matter the cost and that cost is what addiction brings to gamblers that want to make some money without having another means of making money. As a gambler, your main focus should not be gambling money but as a side way of making money because it is not guarantee in any form, by the time you have less than $10 with you and use it to bet and win nothing, you will be angry and you might want to recover that money lost which in the process can cause you more damage.

If I am in a relationship and my partner doesn’t like gambling and she requests I stop gambling, I will ask her first why she wants me to stop gambling, and if she can come up with a reasonable excuse and I notice it is really worth it, then I will stop gambling. But if she doesn’t have any serious reason, then I will let her know that I gamble just for fun and am not addicted to gambling. I will just try to convince her and am sure she will understand.

I can gamble and nobody will know, when I deposit money, nobody knows and when I win, nobody knows no matter how closer youa re ti me, that is how seretive I'm with betting, I don't interfare with gambling and my relationship, each have their own time and I'm sure that my wife will not tell me to quit gambling because I'm not giving her all the time she needed, unless she is that a bitter and selfish person that doesn't like me to gamble and I will not quit if she doesn't give me a congent reason to quit. Gambling kills time and should never bring rift between two people in a relationship unless there is problem of addiction.

[JunaidAzizi]

Yes, you are right that gambling disturbs many relations and isolates the person from the rest people but here I am giving my point of view on it. People some time ago did gambling just for refreshment and to spend some time with their friends but with time it Changed and people used gambling as a source of income. Many people want to become rich quickly and for that, they gamble all their savings and when they get some profits they do not stop and do it again. You know gamble if full greed, and the human race wants more and more. When he lost all his funds in one gamble he became frustrated and did violence at their home though their relationship got disturbed and in my view, this is the reason. I am not against it but if you are doing then do use a small amount and when you feel better then return home.

I agree with what you said, gambling can really destroy a relationship especially when a person's gambling is out of place. When you become addicted to gambling, you will lose everything, everything you worked for will be wasted. We know that it is very difficult to stop gambling addiction, so let's avoid getting into this situation.
We know that gambling has ruined many lives and relationships, let's not let that happen to us.

Most times, why gambling could result into bad situation in a relationship is when the partner neglects they fundamental responsibility and gives all the attention to gambling,  this time they are gambling with family resources, or worse still selling of family properties such as a house or land just to gamble with, at that level, that gambler is already an addict and should have some medical attention to get some treatments if possible..
But if the partner still gamble in moderation,  it can still be worked without having such a negative reality on the daily life of the gambler, but then if you are into a relation and your partner did not have of see anything wrong with gamblin

Yes, it would really vary on which there would really be those people who would really be that having those kind of relationship into other people whether their fiancee,friends or family members.
On the time that it would really be that affecting your relationship into others or becoming that toxic then it would really be just that right that you should really be that stopping it immediately
because if not then when things turns out to be messy then it would be a choice neither you would be proceeding on doing gambling and messing up with that relation or would really be
completely stopping and trying out to save it out? It would be your choice. We do make out choices which would really be that basing up into our own life decisions and the outcomes
that it could possibly give.

The error of trying to control someone elses spending habits might be the bigger problem really.  Is spending money on shoes you dont need a bad idea but plenty of people buy clothes and fashion stuff they dont need.  Its a hobby, bad idea to interfere with someone spending their own money.  The real fair argument is the proportion of money shared in a relationship to address bills etc.  keep people safe warm and well fed, that is a fair argument but within a budget let people spend the money on gambling or betting horses whatever they like, its their free time leisure they can spend it however they like.   Just have a set budget and theres no need for an argument past that, clearly you wont be into everything a partner might be interested in.

[panganib999]

It could, but it shouldn't. The thing is that if you allow gambling to become a major discussion inside your relationship, you already have a problem going on for you. Gambling shouldn't be a major topic for you and your partner just as with any other pastimes you involve yourself in. You don't make a convoluted topic about crocheting and how it takes up so much of your wife's time that she could've spent on you yeah? So why should you let gambling even be worth the time to talk about?

I say quit gambling if it already came to this point. Gambling's not worth anything you're dropping for it, that's the truth. If you're choosing between your partner and indulging your gambling tendencies you might wanna take a step back cause you're already cooked in the brain and honestly, I'd say you're addicted to gambling already, so make the choice that will make your life for the better and don't let gambling be anything other than a pastime you partake in when you don't have spare pennies lying around and you don't know what to do with it.

In normal sense can make a union to be separated if time is not taken, because I know quite well that the place that gambling can make issues to manifest in relationships is the area of concentration and I believe that gambling is all about concentration and when you gamble and lose you will not like to give your partner time because you will be battered in mind, so I don't have anything to say concerning gambling and relationship, because a man who doesn't want the family to be shattered does let the family know that he is into gambling because anything that happens in your house the wife of the man will think that it's because he has lost in gambling that is why is behaving indifferent

I understand the aspect you are coming from and it is very logical to reason so. The reason be that some gamblers are very much aggressive when they lose. I mean if their bet goes wrong, virtually everyone will know due to their sudden change of behaviour.
@Onyeeze is suggesting that gambling can cause domestic vawulence at home. Especially when both parties did not determine unanimously to be gambling. Gambling among couples should be an agreement but if thean things he can hide it forever from his wife, good luck.

Yes it is real when a man gets addicted to Jaya he is not like a normal man. A person addicted to gambling becomes a fairly unbalanced person. A gambling addict cannot concentrate on his religion, his family, his business, so a gambling addict becomes a very bad person to his family, to his partner, to his religion.

Yes, when most gamblers lose, especially when they lose large amounts, they will have quite significant changes in behavior so that this kind of thing will have big impact on relationships between families or social life.
But I sure there are quite lot of people whose attitude changes tend to become emotional levels that are more easily uncontrolled and of course this will lead to more complicated problems.
One of the best ways when you experience defeat is to leave the house for a while to just get some fresh air and win yourself over or you can also be alone in your room to rest.
This will be quite effective in avoiding bad things that could happen regarding attitudes and behavior when we experience defeat from gambling.

Of course, because we ourselves are men and when we have wife they will definitely not give us permission to gamble for financial reasons or addiction, this is wife worry when she finds out that her partner or husband has been gambling.
I sure that most gamblers prefer to hide what they do regarding gambling from their partners in order to avoid disputes and problems that could occur.
Likewise with me personally, when I knew that my partner would be angry when he saw gambling activity, I decided to hide it from him, avoiding the problem would be much better than solving it.

Yes gambling addection creat distance inside family. For that reason many relationship break. But now days gambling is common and some people taking it as a profession. Because if someone can be a professional gambler then there is no chance to look back. In this game it has huge risk and it also give huge profit. But if someone in gambling and he or she is the main earner of family if full family depends on him or her then that's the problem. Becose gambling addection is very bad if he or she have money they play all in that create financial problems. That type of greedy work of gambler mainly affect in relationship and also their economy.

If someone is addicted to gambling, he will not prioritize the interests of his family but will only want to fulfil his desires. His desires will be more important than the interests of his family, and from there, there will be arguments or fights with his family because he has changed and no longer pays attention to his family. A professional gambler would not do something like that because they have good self-control and can take good care of their family to balance everything. Apart from that, they also always try to avoid gambling addiction because they don't see that it will provide anything meaningful for their lives and their families. But if someone uses gambling as a place to make a living, he will have difficulties because gambling is not a place to make money. And that person should be able to think of other ways to help him make money. Many other places can give him the opportunity to make money so he doesn't need to make a living from gambling because it won't be easy.

Gambling addiction is like any other addiction in that it can have devastating consequences for the individual and their family members. Instead of spending time with their partner and family or fulfilling commitments, gamblers may choose to spend their leisure time gambling. This can make a partner or family member worry that the gambler no longer cares about them. It's not just couples who suffer. Parents, siblings, and children can be deeply affected by a family member's gambling addiction. It is leading to the irreversible breakdown of the relationship.

Addiction to something, gambling, drugs or alcohol will not do anything good and will only pose worse risks to him and his family. When someone is addicted to one of these three things or even all of them, it is not only him who experiences the problem but his family also suffers. That is why we must be able to take good care of ourselves when gambling so that we can avoid gambling addiction and not cause problems for our families. And that will clearly destroy the family relationship between us, so if he marries, he could experience divorce and not be able to maintain his household. And it is indeed better if we spend time with family so that our family relationships can become closer and we can look after each other.
