gambling and divorce

[mak013]

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses? does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

I think that it is true. But the first reason is a lie, gambling is only the second. First of all you lied your partner, after it you lost(mostly) your common money. If you win, your partner can forgive you and allow to continue the game. But if you play and lose it - it can become the first big step to break up a family.
About me - i told my wife that i plan to go betting, it would take lots of time and i would use for it only my money, but will share profit to family. She was sceptic but agreed and gambling didn`t become a problem for us.

It can greatly increase the divorce rate if the gambler is in addiction and does not care about his family at all, he has only one thing in mind and that is to gamble no matter what. Very few women if any would accept such reckless behavior and normally the amount of divorce would only grow by such persons, I know a lot of such persons who had a married life, happily married life and they lost every thing because of addiction to gambling. I was addicted myself but not to the point to not care about my family and thinking about my daughter brought me into stopping massive amounts of money thrown into slot machines.

Yeah that's true, there's a level whereby a gambler addiction would reach, at that point all their income would be for satisfying their addiction, some even go to the extent of selling properties just to gamble, not all spouse would tolerate that, and even though they've been tolerating it for long, at some point they'll get tired and file for a divorce. People who are supposed to be more careful concerning gambling to avoid addiction are those who are married cause the have more better responsibilities to take care of and getting addicted to gambling shouldn't be an agenda since it could destroy their family.

Of course, gambling has the ability to break the marriage/family. The reason for saying this is that when we get addicted to gambling, family can suffer a lot of damage. And economically too much can be damaged. So when we are gambling, it is better not to reveal to everyone. And if a husband expresses it to his wife and if that wife is like him, then there will be no problem. But if for some reason the opposite, then divorce should be normal. Because if a husband does not go to the words of his wife, the world is never happy. That is why we should gambling a lot of thoughts, so that our family and husbands do not have any problems.

Gambling can destroy your family if you gamble excessively, leading to addiction. Some people lose their fortunes due to gambling. This happens frequently in my community. Those who gamble and lose their fortunes end up divorcing their wives, and even having their families throw them out because they can no longer be taught to break free from the gambling cycle.

However, a wife needs a man who can control himself and lead his family. A man must create peace within the family, both spiritually and materially, for the sake of his family's life. If a man cannot do this, the woman will leave him.

Yes, divorces have an absolutely direct relation to gambling addiction. And despite the fact that there is such a broad concept as the experience of an addicted gambler, but still, if a woman sees that her man has lost his job or constantly lies, or now has no money at all (and even asks his relatives for a loan), then she, of course, will divorce him.
And, of course, in such a case, I always feel sorry for the children, who are completely innocent.

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.

There should be no secrets between couples but there could be time for individual pursuits or hobbies and this could include gambling. This doesn't mean that you should keep it a secret. At the very least, you should use your own money when gambling and do not touch the money for your family since it is for your own individual hobby.

[Versatile_choice]

Yeah,  gambling contributed to most of the divorce cases that has been happening lately. some people are addicted to gamble to an extent that they don't listen to what thier wife is telling them. And you know when one is addicted to gamble they   find it hard to listen to people's advice not even thier partner except they have decided to stop gambling that's when they can listen to people's advice and you know not every woman that can take such, once they ask you to quit from gambling for like 3 to 4 times and you refused to listen they will just do something you never thought nor imagine. And yeah, majority of this addicted gamblers lose thier partner just because of this  reason.

[nara1892]

I agree that a gambler should tell their partner about their gambling, especially if they are married. The reason is clear, because gambling can truly destroy family relationships. While telling your partner won't solve the problem, it will at least allow them to brainstorm solutions.

Honestly, in my area, there are several couples who ultimately divorced because the husband's gambling addiction caused them financial problems and ultimately separated. In fact, it's quite common here.
This discussion also reminds me that, whether I like it or not, I must stop gambling completely before I get married. Although I have a manageable approach, we never know when I might experience financial problems due to gambling.

Not only with regard to gambling but to everything.

The moment when a man marries a woman, it becomes a permanent union where the two will become one in terms of some aspects. The moment you hide something from your partner, the foundation of the family will start to crumble, thereby destroying the sanctity of marriage where trust is the essential factor.

Of course, especially if for example something that is hidden is gambling or other activities that also involve money and risk, honestly in my place there are many divorces due to experiencing problems due to gambling and it is true that when a gambler has become an aggressive or uncontrolled gambler then they will definitely experience financial problems, so from most cases especially those that occur in my place a woman asks for a divorce from her husband because her husband is in debt due to the gambling he did so that he can no longer meet the daily needs of his family, and that is the reason why I have the intention to stop completely before I get married, honestly I am afraid that my family relationship will be destroyed because of this activity.

Divorce is directly and indirectly related to gambling. When a gambler loses his money while gambling, he becomes mentally disturbed, as a result of which his relationship with someone in the family is not good. He becomes addicted to gambling and the situation reaches such a stage that he indulges in various kinds of misdeeds to earn money from gambling. A wife, as a well-wisher, tries to remove her husband from gambling, as a result of which two types of ideologies are created between the husband and wife, as a result of which various kinds of problems start to arise between them, as a result of which it is seen that when the problem reaches the highest level, the husband and wife get divorced. Again, there are cases where a gambler puts various kinds of pressure on his wife for gambling money, which is why many times the wife cannot bear it and divorces her husband.

within the setting of marriage gambling creates serious conflict mostly if the person gambling is an addict.most families don't support gambling,I will advice you talk to your partner/spouse very well as a gambler before you go into marriage,the person finding out after marriage can also end it because a spouse who often try to intervene and stop his partner from gambling,such efforts can lead to clashes of ideology and constant argument.
Trust me,as the addiction deepens,trust erodes, communication breakdown too and the marriage suffers slot, mostly if you have started having kids. Divorce is still certain in most cases when the gambler (addict) places financial pressure on their partner demanding and requesting for money to continue gambling,when it becomes unbearable separation, anxiety and divorce becomes the common outcome.

is there a connection between gambling and divorce rate?

From data Gambling and Divorce: Statistics and Information, that I have read and the worst and rising divorce results are globally due to economy and gambling.
Example:

Money problems are a common source of conflict in marriages, and gambling-related financial issues amplify these conflicts. Gambling can result in significant financial losses, leaving couples burdened with debt, bankruptcy, and an uncertain financial future. The strain of mounting debts, unpaid bills, and dwindling resources can erode trust and increase stress within the relationship.

For this reason, it is no longer a secret that we can see in the trial of the largest and general divorce case either the plaintiff or sued the biggest factor in gambling, it does not only happen in my country, global.

In my area for 2024 the divorce case of gambling factor of more than 2,923 cases this highest number compared to 2023 only 372 cases, I did not want to say whether it was a clear coincidence that all cases were caused by gambling.

If a woman doesn't know that her husband is gambling, then it's already a marriage full of lies. It means she doesn't know her husband and doesn't know what he's doing.
A married friend of mine had to sell his luxury car because of gambling. When he sold the car, his wife found out he was gambling, and now they constantly fight.

[Accardo]

Yeah that's true, there's a level whereby a gambler addiction would reach, at that point all their income would be for satisfying their addiction, some even go to the extent of selling properties just to gamble, not all spouse would tolerate that, and even though they've been tolerating it for long, at some point they'll get tired and file for a divorce.

Nothing would go wrong if a gamer opens up to the spouse about their gambling habit. Relationships should be made transparent. One party only can get upset if matters are left untold to them, and they get to find out when it gets really tough or bad. Most people whose spouses file for divorce where compulsive and also hiding the truth. Nothing can be made away from a close friend like a spouse without them finding out. Gamers who open up at first are one step ahead of problem gambling because the lover will be an indirect therapist, which would help in discovering any kind of emotional development that's not acceptable.

Usually, many things are kept secret during a wedding, especially when a gambler marries, they keep the gambling secret and get married. When a wife finds out about her husband's secrets after marriage, there is nothing she can do, but there are some women who cannot accept the matter, which can lead to incidents like divorce. I had a friend who, after he got married, found out that his wife was drinking alcohol and after a while, she started living separately from him. At some point, when the friend stopped drinking alcohol, his wife started living with him again.

A husband that hides his gambling activities from his wife might as well be cheating and he's hiding it since he's good at hiding something. There's no way a gambler is suppose to be with you and you'll not noticed some signs that they're gambling therefore if they can successfully do that then you should know that there are other things that they're hiding. As a husband, your wife should know things like you being a gambler because it'll be better that way than her finding out later and it becomes a problem. But the wife too should be considerate because maybe the husband was ashamed of telling the wife that he has gambling issues.

[HelliumZ]

One should not assume that divorce will occur solely because of gambling, especially in the case of professional gamblers who participate in gambling with self-control. Of course, they share their gambling with their wives and participate in gambling with their wives' permission. In many cases, their wives encourage them. A conscious professional gambler would never imagine divorcing his wife because of his gambling. They value relationships more than gambling and value their wives highly. By sharing small things with their wives, they try to understand each other even during upset times and keep the relationship strong.

I do agree with you, it is very bad for partners to be hiding things from each other especially gambling. In marriage there should always be mutual trust from both parties, a situation were by there is an issue of trust them the marriage may never work because once one partner start keeping secrets it will leads to doubt and suspicions. However, I believe the reason why most people do hide things like gambling from there paterns is as a result of fear and shame which I believe a little communication will definitely be of help. Talking to our partner in a language in which they will understand will save one the stress of wanting to keep a secret that will end up becoming a problem that may ruin ones marriage.  if a good reason is given to ones partner and being able to convince ones partner as regards gambling will be of great help than keeping it as a secret.

I agree, we shouldn't touch our couple's fund but if we've got some spare money. Then that's all what we're going to use. Some couples are supportive to each others' hobby and that's why even if they spend some quite large amount of money, it's fine. But don't abuse it because it could lead to addiction and misunderstanding for both partners. So, sometimes it's good to just talk about it and let both of you see your points whether you agree to it or not. As long as there's an agreement and understanding, it's going to make the relationship last even gambling is there.

For some reason, that is a very bad way to start up a family, at least your spouse should be aware of all the weak points that you need to work on so that their can help you to work on them, Instead of acting as if you are ok whereas you have something to hide from your partner who surpose to be the closest person to you

Keeping secrets can ruin a marriage in the long run, most especially if it’s all about finances that is one of those important factors to make a married life works. So if one is addicted with gambling, he shouldn’t deal with it alone, what’s the purpose of having a spouse anyway. You don’t make a problem solved alone, but you have a partner to help you with.
