It’s not about gambling being legal in the country, but rather the people’s approach towards it.
There are people in my country (that’s if we’re speaking about countries) that are living out of gambling and all major sources of income comes directing from gambling and in situations like this, you’ll agree with me that, one’s spouse wouldn’t have any major challenge seeing their partner gamble since the results are positive and the winnings keep coming.
The truth is that, gambling isn’t generally a bad activity but in situations where the losses are becoming much more than the winnings, then there is always a cause for concern and when the results begins creating a negative impact on the individual where the gambler begins selling off properties and other valuables just to meet up with their gambling activities, then it will e tagged addiction and typically, no one wants to mingle with such persons not even their spouse.
Gambling goes beyond winning and losing. A mental trick that rewires your reward system. You chase the dopamine boost, despite its impact to your relationships, finances, and self-worth. Sure, your spouse may support you while you're rich. However, when you start bleeding money like a trapped pig, that may not last long. Gambling addiction hurts emotionally. It erodes self-esteem, control, and real-world functioning
Gamble for the right reasons. Do it for the challenge, adrenaline thrill, and absurdity. Try not to make it your identity, obsession, and life. You're playing with your sanity, relationships, and future, not just money. So gamble wisely. Know your limits, stick to your budget, and leave when the fun stops. If gambling gets you down, don't be afraid to seek help. Resources can help you overcome addiction and recover your life
