gambling and divorce

[lionheart78]

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses?

I believe if one has a partner, and they are married, one must disclose anything about the gambling activity.  This way it will lessen the impact of unknown gambling activity.

We all know that overengagement in gambling affects the players time spent to his family.  And when unlucky, gambling irresponsibly often eats up the family budget.  And when a family is hungry or has insufficient funds for daily living, conflict between partners arises. The couples will keep on arguing until one had enough and think of a break up.

does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

As much as gambling can make two strangers become friends, it also has the capacity to break up relationships, including marriage.

Well I don't see the actual connection between Gambling & devorce. If you ask me it's the mentality and the commitment to your partner for the reason of Devorce. If you are gonna steal your partner's money, or express your stress , dissatisfaction on your partner's than it should lead to devorce. You should be truthful to your partner.

Irresponsible gambling can lead to a broken family.  That said, gambling has a connection to divorce and breakups.  It is a series of interconnected relationship of event. When a person became an irresponsible gambler, he tend to gamble excessively to the point that he won't be able to sustain his family needs.  When there is insufficent supply and hunger, the partner knowing that the reason for the family suffering that fate is gambling will speak to the gambler partner.  From there conflict and misunderstanding occurs.  If the misunderstanding and conflict not fixed and extended for  long time, the other party will have enough and just give up the relationship resulting to divorce.

Divorce often occurs when a partner engages in bad behavior, and financial factors are also common. It's true that gamblers often divorce because of gambling, as this is the case in almost every country. This may be because they gamble irresponsibly, neglecting their household needs.

So, can gambling destroy a marriage? This depends on the individual gambler. If you gamble but never meet your household needs, this will inevitably lead to divorce. Therefore, it's best to gamble when your household problems are resolved, or in other words, when your household needs and finances are stable. Perhaps if those are met telling your partner about your gambling won't be a problem. However it's best to keep your gambling problem to yourself, and not to tell your partner even if you gamble responsibly. Because people generally view gambling as a negative thing.

Depending on the situation but as partners, there should be no more secrets anymore. That's the reason why you're already tied up to your partner and you shouldn't hide any secrets longer. The reason for most divorce and break ups are not really affairs but about financial matters. And gambling is one of the reason why someone in the relationship is having a break down of his finances because of potential gambling addiction.

Yes, it is true that one of the reasons for divorce is financial crisis. And gambling can put a person in a financial crisis. There are very few records of a gambler maintaining his financial condition through gambling. Everyone thinks of winning something big very quickly to strengthen his financial condition but what happens to them is always the opposite. And such an activity can definitely increase the risk of divorce. Because when someone loses everything through gambling, the life partner will not go to spend his life with him if he cannot fulfill his needs. This is a normal calculation.

i think the moment we hide our gambling habits from our partners that is the moment we will get in trouble because that is when trust crumbles and when you get in trouble in gambling and have to tell your partner you will be surprising them

It depends on how big the gambling problem is—because we know that many problems arise when they lose a lot of money gambling and there is no money left for family needs, so obviously this will be a big problem.

So how do we manage our finances well for gambling? Rest assured that you will not have problems with your family.

Wives should know about our gambling habits, whatever their response may be, the important thing is to let them know.

Research from the National Gambling Impact Study Commission and the Gambling Impact and Behavior Study indicates that divorce rates for those dealing with gambling issues are estimated to be around 40% for problem gamblers and approximately 54% for pathological gamblers.

When I'm ready to settle down, there is nothing my partner will not know about me all the way from my health life history down to the things I do for fun but will be limited with investments, she will know things I do but wouldn't disclose the amount but gambling wouldn't be among things I'm going to limit. I will tell tell her the things I do for fun and will know all the this things before we becomes one family, even though I'm not a reckless gambler, I think it's important your partner knows much about you.

If I have a sister, I will want her to do the same with her man. I will not be happy if my sister end up marrying an addicted gambler, I will not even think twice if she decided to leave man that has refused to quit gambling because they got addicted but I will support as well if he is ready to change. To be sincere it's easy to see your partner sell off your property because of an addiction, those people careless about their family before they make any difficult decisions.

I think it is better to disclose to your partner we are gamblers from the very beginning, it would indeed save us much problems of trust in the future, if one takes the courage and talk about it, then it becomes easier to control it, as there will be someone beside ourselves taking care of our money and taking the necessary measures to gamble responsibly.
It is worst if one becomes a pathological gambler and our secret is discovered by our partner in a bad way, it would undoubtedly create problems in the marriage. It is better just to be open about it.

Yeah it is very important and necessary that you should all your partner knows that you are a gambler than pretending not to be a gambler because if your partner eventually finds out that you are a gambler and it happens that your partner is the kind that doesn't want you to gamble since it involves winning or losing of money, it can course divorce between two partners, so it is very advisable to always show up who you really are from the beginning when you are still in a relationship and if your partner will truly love and marry you for who are, that could be better than hiding what course harm to a relationship or marriage.

Obviously gambling has the potential to aid divorce or even breakdown of family, mostly if it involves secrecy, financial strain, and also addiction. The statistics you sited displayed how seriously it is connected to great divorce rates. The major concern shouldn't be gambling itself rather the trust and money issues that accompanies it.

From my view, for one who is in a meaningful relationship, it is wise to be transparent about your gambling habits. You might claim to gamble responsibly yet hiding such from your partner can make them feel used, and can be worse than the act of gambling on itself. It is hard to fix a broken trust.
Therefore gambling can tear apart families, but truthfulness with your partner about it is safer route.

And the first one that will be affected is obviously the family if someone falls for the addiction of gambling. I would say that it will be a catalyst, specially in cases you mentioned, if the gambler hides everything from his spouse for example. And when it's time to settle the bills i.e. rent, electricity and there is no money despite the person has a good and decent paying job but as a degen gambler, money is gone already. Maybe in some society the opposite can tolerate it, but the worst is that if the other party finds it out and so it means that she or he could file for a divorce because of someone's addiction.

[MainIbem]

I kept wondering what relates gambling with divorce but then, a partner could get tired and frustrated concerning the spouses addiction and file for a divorce, that's one of the disadvantages of gambling addiction, it could affect a family thereby leading to separation of two spouses, I think things like these should be talked about when informing gamblers concerning addiction cause I believe it would go long way to help gamblers take precautions and gamble responsibly so they won't get addicted and cause problems in their family.

Honesty is very important in a relationship, especially in marriage. Even small things should be communicated honestly between partners, unless it’s something truly sensitive that doesn’t necessarily need to be shared. In the case of gambling activities, we should be fully transparent with our partner. After all, no matter what happens, our partner is usually the one who can truly help us if things go wrong

does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

Gambling isn’t really what causes divorce or breaks up families. The real problem is the mindset of the gamblers themselves, who often misunderstand how gambling should actually be done. If people saw gambling as something you only do with extra money after covering all your needs, and not as a way to make money, then things like this wouldn’t happen. Unfortunately, a lot of gamblers today have the wrong mindset and end up ruining their own lives because of it.

Gambling has the capacity to make up a marriage and also break up a family, it all depends on the person getting involved. If the both spouses are responsible enough to maintain family finances and knows how to risk enough, then the possibility of going successful with gambling is there, there are family where the husband as well as the wife is involved in gambling where each of them is aware and nothing wrong with it because they are responsible gamblers.

The opposite criteria are really for those who are not responsible enough to understand each other, gambling will eventually ruin such family apart, break every piece of bond created and scatter the family.

Is that even a question we should be asking, why marrying someone you can't tell all your secret. No marriage should have secrets or that's the starting point of the marriage not lasting. Your spouse should know the things you spend money on so that you both can plan yourself and the future of your children better when you know how much is coming into the family and how much is going out. With gambling causing lost if problems already I won't be surprised if it's also getting into couples divorcing. I can't imagine staying married to someone that couldn't trust me to disclose their gambling activities to me. That'll make me lose trust in them when I find out.

Recently I came across a story of a guy that used up the money that was in the savings account of his wife meant for their wedding, this led to their divorce. When gambling gets to this point where you hide things like this from your spouse it becomes a problem. I don't blame some people if they file for a divorce because gambling addiction is dangerous, especially when the person affected doesn't put in effort to change

Your story got a little bit confused, though.
How did they manage to get divorced of they were not married to being with? Perhaps, meant to say that girl was a fiancee, like you know... Those two were engaged and planning to get married, but the guy blew it with his greed and love for money.

Honestly, that is something I would have done as well, of I had a fiancee who spent all my saving on online casinos, when trust is broken in such a way then it becomes difficult to even picture sharing one's life with someone who keeps things as serious as those away from one's knowledge ...

Of course, the impact is extraordinary. Sometimes, some husbands are reluctant to tell the truth and only share their work results if they win. Even if they lose, they will try to borrow money outside without their partner's knowledge. This is the beginning of the family's economic decline, especially if they are constantly forced to gamble and keep losing. Sometimes, if the wife has her own income, it's not a major trigger for rifts, but if she relies solely on her husband's income, it can be quite noticeable, especially when she already has significant expenses for her children, including school fees for both secondary and tertiary education.

If the partner is nagger, that also makes the husband to stop telling the truth and continue to hide secrets like his gambling activities. So, we need to be transparent with them and they will also reciprocate.

It changes nothing, telling me that you are gambling as my partner doesn't mean we are cool, I am not going to get into your head to see how responsible you are with gambling, and most of the time those who called themselves responsible goes out of track later on.

There are so many things to be worried about in life and one of them is taking care of my kid, not the financial side but the stress then I still have to manage my business too, now imagine I have a gambling partner too whom I will have to be worried about, monitoring a grown ass man to not become a addicted gambler is a lot of work me.

If anyone out there is divorcing because their partner is a gambler I won't stop them, there are just too many headaches in the world today, unless you want to end up locked up in an mental institution.

You're absolutely right, too many problems already to worried with and if someone just tries to divorce their husbands because they're a gambler. I get it that they don't like it but they're doing it because of the impact of gambling to their lives.

[DaNNy001]

For someone to be your spouse or partner there's a level of trust that you must have for that person...you should be able to communicate when you have challenges you are dealing with instead of hiding it, this is actually what breaks marriages apart, secrecy doesn't solve the problem it only makes things worse...instead of hiding your gambling addiction speak up to your spouse about it, that's why the person is your partner

[SUPERSAIAN]

It's related, and I assume this rate is high. Couples have responsibilities in marriage, and these responsibilities also include financial ones. If someone loses the family's income to gambling, the outcome will be divorce. I've also witnessed couples becoming addicted to gambling together. If only one person has a gambling addiction, they should be supported.

Yes, it can be a difficult situation, but couples have supported each other through difficult times, even in the worst circumstances and situations.

[Nathrixxx]

If you're a divorcee and also an addicted gambler, then something serious is wrong with you because this two aspects can't allow you to get yourself in order, it has happened to some that they got affected in their marriage with gambling addictions leading to their divorce in marriage, this is because they couldn't afford to manage running them together and having the ability of managing each without leaving one unaffected.

Most definitely, gambling have the capacity to break up marriage or family if the gambler is irresponsible and addicted to gambling, I've seen a situation where an addicted gambler used money meant for his children's school fees to gamble and unfortunately for him he lost the bet and was left with nothing. We should always disclose our gambling habits to our partners from the beginning of our relationship so that they would know what to expect eventually, it is the business of your partner to know about your gambling habits to avoid shocking surprises when you get into trouble, your partner have every right to know from the onset so they would choose to stay strong regardless or quit.

For me, gambling has never been a problem with my partner as she knows what I do. Sure, she’s not happy when I lose, but when I win she’s just as happy since she also gets a share.

I know gambling can sometimes ruin relationships but I don’t see that happening to me because I only treat it as entertainment. Divorce or broken families usually happen when people who don’t earn enough see gambling as their vice. They neglect their partner and their responsibilities, and that’s what destroys the relationship, not gambling itself.

That’s why I believe we can’t blame gambling. The real issue is with people who gamble irresponsibly. If you can’t handle it, then you shouldn’t be gambling in the first place.
