Lies told to cover up gambling habit

[Mr. Magkaisa]

      -   There are people who love gambling and will do anything just to gamble. Now, to the point that we can lie because of gambling, I have never experienced it, but I only keep
my gambling a secret from my wife.

Maybe the time I lied to my wife was when I won gambling and I didn't tell her that the money I gave her came from my crypto gambling winnings. Actually, even up to now I played gambled without her knowledge although I know that it won't be a problem, but I just really don't want her to know what I'm doing.

Honestly, you can't lie to your wife, your wife always knows when you're telling the truth or not, if you can get away with lying about your gambling then you are that good at lying and you can pass a lie detector test.

Honesty is the best policy and your wife will always understand, even if she knows nothing about gambling, your body language when you win or lose will give you away so it is better to tell her so you won't have to tell a lie about what you're lying.

A wife can understand each and everything but sometimes she pretends to be not familiar with the fact and I think no one should hide any activity from his wife because hidden things can be termed as cheating with your wife which she cannot tolerate.

If someone's wife does not like your gambling habit then you should stop it because it is such a risky field that not only will you be in danger but your wife will also feel insecure. Your wife will definitely understand what is going on in your mind and most of the relationship becomes weaker due to the habit of a husband who hide most of the things from his wife.

The gambler had two types,one they play the game just for the fun.They like to play the game for the entertainment,So they love to play the game irrespective of expectations of profit from it.Second one is the gambler who consider the gambling as the money making machine.So mostly expect the profit from their capital investment.The gambler who had love to play the game never disclosures their involvement in gambling,because some day their wife or family members will ask to quit the gambling.This gambler will lie to their wife to save their game to the gambling site.

Maybe the time I lied to my wife was when I won gambling and I didn't tell her that the money I gave her came from my crypto gambling winnings. Actually, even up to now I played gambled without her knowledge although I know that it won't be a problem, but I just really don't want her to know what I'm doing.

The gambler who made the winning dollar are not going to lie to their wife,because they can say their wife absolutely the winning dollar to show their supremacy in the game.But some time this may back fire,after hearing this the wife may ask to quit after this game to avoid loss of money in the future.If you gave some dollars from the winning money means,she get more happy about your winnings.

Lies like that in the first post here in the thread are not hurting ones,they don't do any harm,quite the opposite they give the woman what she wants to hear from her husband and the husband can keep to himself that he loves gambling more than her at certain times.The only harm I see in such declarations is exactly the signs of addiction I see in here,if they truly care about gambling more than anything else then this is a big problem which they need to fix as it will undoubtedly hunt them after some time have passed,the wife will find out and that is how a big number of divorces happen,the biggest number in the country where I live is exactly from gambling.

It also depends on the individual, in my opinion, if the person is happy with the gambling they do, maybe they will not hesitate to say that they often gamble, on the other hand there are gamblers who win to cover up their gambling activities, so it is not strange if they tell lies, such as in the use of money that says what to buy or to use other things but the main purpose is to bet on gambling. You yourself must have your own reasons why you keep your gambling a secret, I myself keep it a secret from my family because I don't want my family to know that I like gambling, maybe if they know I like gambling they can be disappointed.

That's a sure thing guys hahaha 
In fact, I think there are also other people like that who do give the money they have to their wife or other family members but don't tell them that the money is the result of gambling. But I don't think it's a problem, because as long as they are happy it's okay in my opinion.

[dimonstration]

You can only get yourself involved with lies when your partner don't know whether you are a gambler or not but truth be told, when there's lapses you would look for an alternative to cover oneself up because you know if you don't defend yourself definitely there must be questions that would arise later or sooner how where about you spent money.

I think the contrary since if my partners don’t know that I’m gambling then I don’t need to lie just to cover up what I’m doing since she doesn’t have any suspicion on my gambling habit. I believe I will be more often lying if my partner knew about my habit since woman is known for being nosy to everything that we do especially if it’s gambling.

I personally don’t lie about my gambling habits since there’s nothing to be ashamed as long as I’m using my funds properly while I can still sustain properly our daily expenses and other necessities.

Lying about gambling only means that the person is not doing well on his gambling venture.

Yeah you are correct, you know most times we as woman we often tends to know the way about our husbands money although it depends since I joined here I have never took much part to what my husband does with his money, provided that he has his part to play in the family correctly I don't kill myself over his instead I focused here after doing necessary things needed to be done at home then I can make out time and chances to read here all though..

It’s nice read woman point of view here in forum because my comment about my partner is just my assumption and observation since I don’t confront here with this kind of trivial discussion or else I will be sleeping in the couch.

I usually just provide everything to my partner and just get my allowance out of my salary while the rest is up to her on how she will budget in. I guess what I’m doing is right since your opinion is same with that.

Most men who lies at those are addicted gambler, let say they fails to carry out their responsibility as Menh or as woman at home when there weekly or monthly allocation are being given to them to adequate care of the family and they went ahead wasting into gambling, at this point they could be pushed to cook up a story as lies to defend themselves which I think is not necessary to do that rather open up.

Definitely, addiction makes you isolated with your family since you don’t want to get busted on what you are doing because you knew it’s not right.

You didn't lie but you can gamble secretly from your wife, let me ask you, is your wife really love you? I don't think a person that live with you in the same house didn't know what each other doing. If she didn't care with that you do and don't want to dig deeper, then she might don't really love you.

No one can stay really anonymous with someone that live in the same house.

Every woman with the way they behaves, you might be providing your monthly allowance to her but she may not get satisfied over what you does with your money at times it might leads to question you if what you are earning as salaries does reflects to your real life, activity and investment then she could be led to speak out. The most important thing is be open to each others with this there will be much worries over you since she knows what you are into how the money are being spent out every day.

I don't think any woman will be worried over her partner's mode of spending money if those unnecessary expenditures ain't affecting his responsibilities to his wife and family. Most times it is not all about money, but the level of attention you give to gambling that might make your family yearn for your attention. I still maintain that gambling activities should not be done in secret, if you are gambling right, your partner will adjust and let you enjoy whatever benefits you derive from gambling. Gambling is not a bad game, what matters most is how you go about it. If your partner shows concern over your gambling habit, it shows she means well for you.  It is now left for you to prove to her that one can be a gambler and still be responsible.

[darkangel11]

I'm completely honest about my gambling and never had to lie about it. What I do though is avoid the subject. When someone asks me if I have some bonus money from somewhere, I won't even say that I participate in a casino signature campaign. It's not that I'm ashamed or anything, but I don't want the conversation to go that way. Usually I feel like people are starting to interview me when they hear that I gamble, pretty much like if I told them that I rob stores at night or that I'm in a MLM campaign. So, derail the conversation and you won't have to lie

Hiding your gambling activities or lying about it could sometimes be a sign of gambling addiction. Like if you come to think of it , why hide something if it's right or doesn't have something more to it ? One of the biggest issues of hiding gambling activities from the people around you especially family members is when they eventually find out without you breaking the news to them before then. Majority of the they view it as a scenario where the feel they are distrusted by the gambler.

This can cause relationship and emotional issues. Also , as a responsible gambler I don't think you should measure the love you have for your loved ones like your wife with the amount of fun you have when you gamble except you are probably an addict.

I agree it can be a sign of gamgling addiction, but I rather see it as the beginning of a long lasting addiction to gambling. Depending on the context, anyone could start to gamble in secret for a variety of reasons: it could be about religious stigma on gamblers, it could be because it is illegal for people to gamble or bet, it would be even because the person who wishes to gamble does not want the rest of their peers to realize he had money and wagered all of it on a casino.

Though, as losses accumulate and as the person continue to keep the habit a secret, it becomes more likely she/he will never address the problem and open up to their family and friends about it, perpetuating the gambling untill all the assets are gone.

That is one of the reasons I believe talking about losses with our loved ones is important, before they start to accumulate, so we can feel liberated from the guilt and shame which comes with all of it, I assume it helps to move on from behavioral addictions like problem gambling.

I believe that everyone does their things as they see fit to have their own benefit. In this order of ideas we can say that if someone does not harm Anyone, then they can hide everything they Want and do what they like the most, as long as they do not They hurt no one , that is something that is noticeable and that you always have to raise Awareness, so when you see all these things you can prioritize things, if it harms the family you can't be in a game, in a casino , at least I can't. be damaging my own blood, then when they hide it and it is known, many things can be destroyed, and that is why so many things happen, separating families , fathers and mothers, children suffer and a family is Broken it fades away, and of course, this happens thanks to Addiction.

Absolutely true. As long as one's responsibilities aren't neglected, there shouldn’t be an issue. You're right in saying that honesty is crucial. We're all adults here, capable of having open and constructive conversations, especially within a partnership. With mutual understanding and respect in place there really shouldn't be any problems with a partner being aware of and accepting the other’s preferences whether its gambling or anything els

It's unfair to rate gambling above a spouse then lie about it in their presence. That attitude could lead to trouble someday. Players are meant to enjoy the game and forget about entangling themselves with too many thoughts which could affect them mentally. It's not necessary having those thoughts in our brain as gamblers. Because of the future impact it may have on the gambler or his spouse, bringing up such thoughts can be harmful to the spouse. Jokingly, one would want to express himself openly and would say mistakenly the truth, something too annoying for someone so dear to hear. The thought is stored on the subconscious of the gambler and one day he'll cough it up. Personally, I think, the player just developed a thought within him, that makes him think he's lying to his spouse. Those thoughts are not necessary. Why hide or lie when everything could be done moderately.

Yes, lying here indicates underlying problems. A happy person is unlikely to fabricate stories to hide their harmless preferences. Typically, a person lies because they are ashamed: either they fear judgment, feel they are addicted but don’t want to confront the truth, or, despite not being addicted, they anticipate misunderstanding from their partner. Any of these reasons suggests issues both personally and in their relationships

same thoughts. Responsible gambling means enjoying it without letting it interfere with family commitments. Open discussion and management of gambling within the family context should be possible without secrecy or guilt.

This lies is just for self satisfaction of not there is nothing more to why any gambler will lie, because when you want to categorise lies we fine this kind of lies told in the ops to be self afflicting lies, because in his story his lies truly did not hurt anyone and also he did not direct it to any but self, so the action may be justifiable.
Diving into the issues of addiction in the ops story is a different ball game entirely because yes to some extent I believe why the man in the story choose to say such lies just to justify his actions shows he is heavily addicted.

Like I said your partner could mad at you when started noticing insincerity in you or maybe you aren't carrying out your obligation as man at home and yet she knows that you are working and earning salary at a times also believed that you are gambler then here comes her suspect, and here comes her monitoring to know your activities especially that concerns with your finance, and some kind of lost attention whenever you are being called or caught off at some secret place could be room or toilet, being alone, quiet at some point then this will generate suspicion for yourself as gambler.

Every gambler will definitely lie to cover up what he is doing with his gambling activities to the people around him, including family members.
Likewise, husband will definitely hide his gambling activities from his wife because he doesn't want it to become problem if the wife finds out that her husband is gambler because the wife will have different sentiments when she finds out that her husband uses some money to gamble.
Moreover, not everyone will accept or consider gambling activities to be good activities and most people have bad view of gambling.
But in my opinion, the only person we can prevent from knowing about the gambling activities we do is our children, as father I really don't want my children to know that I often gamble.
This will have much worse impact than the wife finding out, if the wife finds out it might just be angry but if it is child then it has the potential to make the child curious and want to know about trying gambling.

One thing is that no matter what the name of a lie is, especially if the lie is about something that has a bad point of view in the eyes of society, usually over time it will also smell or mean that they will eventually be found out that they are involved in gambling. For the initial stage maybe yes you can still hide it but over time I think your wife or your partner will still feel that there is something odd in the behavior of his partner who gambles, especially this is gambling which requires money in order to get involved and play which means there is a possibility that one day your partner will find a number of money allocations that are not known where they are going which over time the suspicion will definitely get stronger when they find something increasingly odd, especially if you are married which is usually really difficult to hide about finances to our wives or partners, they will definitely ask a lot of questions related to where you use the money, none other than because they know our monthly income from work so when they see that we have no money then obviously prepare yourself to answer all the questions that come with pressure.
