gambling and divorce

[Su-asa]

Another thing is, if you have less money and spend time looking for alternative sources of income in the hope of getting more money, then your family relationship can also be bad. I think that no matter what your income is, you should give enough time to your family and give top priority to fulfilling their needs according to your ability.

Family time is often ignored by many busy people. While we have to thrive and work for our needs. Sometimes, the important relationships are forgotten due to that. I don't think there is something wrong with people who are looking for alternative source of income to get more money. They know their situation and that's important to them because they are in need. But don't forget about having quality time with them still and for gamblers, do not forget to do that as well. Don't spend all of your time in gambling only, have some good time with them.

I don't see anything wrong either because we all are thriving to meetup some standards in life. Although I'm also guilty of this because we all looking forward to get other sources of income in other to make a living. Most of the time it's even difficult to make decisions but we have to make them because that's the main reason you are man. But spending more time on gamble than your family is very same as putting family (children) in danger.

There is a relation between them, gamblers especially chronic gamblers stake everything to the extent that it breaks their family, a chronic gbler is capable of staking his family for gamble and this naturally is enough for a woman to leave a marriage if it's not controllable anymore, hence research having it that it's a cause of divorce is very correct.

Additionally, hiding this kind of habit in a world that perceives it to be a bad behaviour will increase the chances of losing a marriage once they find out themselves.

Chronic gambling is a psychological condition that starts  gradually, some figure out that they are getting abnormally addicted and try to deal with that situation while others live in denial...like you said, there's a lot of dangers to this lifestyle, people who are chronically addicted to gambling only take it as their priority and can risk anything to gamble, this is why it's a psychological condition and stopping this would involve the intervention of an expert

It's both psychological, mental, emotional and sociological condition, for one to be chronic gambler it requires all the attributes to complete the actions, firstly they lose emotional control which is a direct cause and effect on their marriage and sociologically in some areas before one is known as a chronic gambler the stereotypes they face only could even lead them to unstable mental conditions and hence divorce is prompted. You see everything put together is usually in play and is a cause and effect relationship of divorce.

is there a connection between gambling and divorce rate?

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.

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

not to mention some people also spend money from money that both the partners contributed in

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?

It's good we tell our partners about our gambling habits so that they can get used to it and figured out how they can handle it but even if we didn't tell our partners about our gambling habits and they found out themselves maybe when we have gotten ourselves into trouble with gambling, that isn't enough reason for them to seek for a divorce because a man must live with a secret and it isn't everything a man should disclose to his partner. Gambling can only break up a marriage or a family when one partner is tired in a marriage or a family, and the person have been looking for a valid reason to use and seek for a divorce, which he/she see gambling as a way to break out from his/ her marriage or his/ her family.

I don't think that gambling should be a big secret that we have to hide from our spouse, they have a right to know that we gamble and if they are fine with it there won't be any problems. If a spouse doesn't know about your gambling and later finds out in the marriage that you gambles it will affect the trust in the relationship. There are partners in a marriage that cannot tolerate gambling for personal reasons and when they later finds out that who they plan to spend the rest of their life with is a gambler that means that the partner can either accept it, make the spouse to stop or divorce.

Indeed, and being a person who should provide the family needs, spending more time into gambling mostly lead you to love more money, it's better to have a balance between your gambling participation and your time with your family, havng that right mindset that gambling should be treated as part of your entertainment and not a source of your income would lead you to maintain the right balance with your time.

Spending spare money and let your desire to be fill out with budget amount for your gambling will lessen the chance of getting addicted, with good handling of your obligations and your time for your entertainment divorce or any deeper issues between your relationship with your love ones might be avoided.

You mentioned obligations, but sometimes it happens that people look for something else to avoid some responsibility, and sometimes this can be gambling. If everything is fine in the family, then gambling cannot become a reason for divorce, but if there are prerequisites for this, then gambling will simply strengthen it, because it will become another reason for reproach. So gambling can become one of the reasons, but here too everything is not simple and will depend on the player.

I dont see gambling as a direct reason for divorce. I believe that it should be a collection of problems and moments for one person to take a decision to divorce. Divorce just because a person is gambling, then there were no true love between people. If relationship are based only on the money, that is so wrong. Divorce if a person loses too much, and marry because a person has won a lot. That is so low.

Just be opened to your spouse and all this can be avoided, it's when you decide that you won't let them into the challenges that you're having in your life that there's going to be an issue. Anybody gambling without it being an issue won't have any problem with their spouse cause even when she finds out, but still your finances isn't in the mud, she'll understand that you're not putting any threats to the family finances. She has her own hobby too which could be shopping or other girly things she spends money on, as a man gambling is more like a hobby to us although there are now times that things begin to go out of hand but if you can gamble without getting addicted then everything should be just fine.

I would say that it's all depends on the type of partner you have, some partners do not just like money but love it, even much more than they love their partner, there are partners that they only time they are Everly in peace with their partner is only when the partner have alot of money to give them, but as soon as the partner goes broke for some reason, they both will start having series of misunderstandings and fighting.
-snip-

Misunderstandings and sad devastation when divorce results because of gambling.
Actually this depends on how open each couple is to each other about the gambling activities that are carried out,
because when they are dishonest gambling or any activity that makes bankruptcy it will be a problem that ends in divorce.

Any problem can lead to divorce, not just gambling and this depends on how each couple responds to it.
Professional gamblers who have lived with gambling all their lives can also have families who are very harmonious and they already know the limits so that it is not a problem in their family.

However some people also break down due to gambling because of lack of discipline, no management done and just being miserable addicts.

I agree with @taufik123 that this issue really depends on how open and honest the couple is.
Well, when that happens, divorce rates can be reduced. With openness and honesty, both partners understand their expenses and what they're doing.
And most importantly, discipline. If you gamble and are married, especially if you're living there, you definitely need to be disciplined in managing your finances. You need to know how much you spend on gambling and how much you spend on household needs. You need to maintain a balance.
So, the high divorce rate is likely due to a lack of openness between partners, which ultimately leads to mutual suspicion or even failure to provide for the household.

If a gambler tells his wife about his gambling, it may not break the trust between them, but the gambler should know whether his wife will allow to gamble or not. Many people know that if they share their wife about the matter of gambling, their wife will not allow gambling or they will make various comments about gambling, which is why it is better not to share. But if a situation arises that will break relation or the trust in a family, then I think it is better to share the matter of gambling. A gambler should not waste time only on gambling but also give time to the family, otherwise such problems will continue to increase.

Yes, gambling becomes a problem when everything goes wrong, but they are right when they say that it can be a cause for divorce, it is easy to fall into the trap and then inevitably the whole family will end up there, dragging them into an endless oblivion, and then the divorce will only be a bitter consequence.

Gambling is not really good, I have seen many families suffer because of gambling. In reality, there are a few gamblers near my house who are involved in online and offline gambling. They gamble almost every day and spend the money they earn during the day on gambling at night, as a result they cannot buy any food for their wives and children. When they come home after gambling all night, they quarrel with their wives, as a result the two parties fight and finally become the reason for divorce.
Only people addicted to gambling have such an impact on the family, so their wives and children cannot accept gambling. Every wife wants her husband to earn an honest living.

Communicating your gambling habit to your partner is a good thing to do. It will make your partner to trust you and you will have peace of mind in your relationship. If you gamble without your wife's consent, it will be easy for you to become an addict or an irresponsible gambler. But if your wife is aware of your gambling habit, she will tend to be the one to control your gambling habit. She will decide how much of your budget will go for gambling and you guys will stick to it.

The problem will only arise if she disapproves gambling and you try to force it down her throat. But if she is an understanding partner she will succumb with some conditions.

His wife will help him allocate the money to gamble. She will not let his husband spend too much money because they should think about fulfilling their daily needs. With the help of his wife, he can control his gambling habit and know his limit but he can still enjoy his gambling time. He will not let him deposit more money if he loses all the money because his daily needs will be more important than his gambling habit. Yes, it is better to share the matter of gambling with our beloved people so they can know and help us if we have a problem. They will not let us get deep into gambling because the problem will be bigger.

Despite being concealed, women are the strongest creatures in the world. She can already tell her husband's condition just by looking at his character and face, let alone if he has such hobbies. Yes, women are more sensitive in managing finances, especially when it comes to choosing what's important and what's urgent. I think partners sometimes give special allowances, but only if everything is well-organized for the month and not too often, because they know that if one spending chain slips, it will cause chaos in their spending records. That's what CEOs avoid most at home or in a family.

Yeah yeah, you've mentioned it. Because we're a man. It's embedded with responsibilities that are attached to us as long as we live. And we've got that obligation to provide for our family. We even sometimes get angry when our family meddles with our jobs or when we gamble sometimes. That's why a real connection is important and it's gotta take someone to be understanding in doing that. It's okay to gamble but, don't settle for less if it's about our family. Many relationships were destroyed by gambling in my country and sadly, some took their lives due to the disgrace it brought them.

If it's too much, then I think it could all come down to divorce. I mean, there are gamblers who are already having problems with their family due to their bad habit, but they fuel it more by not stopping to gamble. This could lead to more stress for the partner, and even if they gave them a chance to change over and over again but it won't happen. I think it could really lead to separation.

There's a limit on what a human can take when talking about stress. When it's too much, they will break down and will decide without thinking. Anger. If the gambler doesn't change, he is the one who is not in love anymore, not the one deciding to leave him.

Speaking of the effects of gambling on a marriage, the fact remains that with a steady bad habit, trust and a sense of security will be washed away. A partner might be content to wait without being cured, and whilst promise can be nothing more than a wound, when the promise is continually broken, that wound becomes more traumatised and will only be cured through the partner making good on their promise. In that case, divorce may look like the only means of ending the misery. In my opinion, the fundamental question is not who walked away, it is about who has opened their eyes and not loved and done what is expected of them. We cannot expect one to remain when his or her heart is still broken as all people have limits and they can not be pushed to their limit.

Just be opened to your spouse and all this can be avoided, it's when you decide that you won't let them into the challenges that you're having in your life that there's going to be an issue. Anybody gambling without it being an issue won't have any problem with their spouse cause even when she finds out, but still your finances isn't in the mud, she'll understand that you're not putting any threats to the family finances. She has her own hobby too which could be shopping or other girly things she spends money on, as a man gambling is more like a hobby to us although there are now times that things begin to go out of hand but if you can gamble without getting addicted then everything should be just fine.

I follow you with that being opened and setting things in a responsible ways will avoid any issues that gambling produce, if you know how to value your relatioship with your spouse, being open and letting them know the situation may allow you to also recieve advise from them, same thing with your example, there are things that girls do to spend their time and money as long as you are treating gambling as part of your entertainment and not to exceed to that, relationship with your spouse and family will not be harm.

When some one cross his limitation, the situation is no longer normal. At that time, there is no way to take any decision. If the gambler is addicted and does not care about the family, then it is natural to want to end this situation. At some point, the patience between the husband and wife is definitely lost. Due to which they try to break up their relationship. Although many times it is seen that no one can take the decision normally. When one becomes angry such acts are committed.
