gambling and divorce

[Sonia_123]

Addicting is the most dreadful part of gambling, and the reason mots people hate gambling, if your friend or relatives peradventure fall into addiction then you'll understand how difficult  it to have an addicted gambler around because of all their thoughts are chanelled to how they can play and won huge. But the worse part is they never admit that they are doing the wrong thing and that Is why they keep doing it, even when you advise them to stop, it seem they've found something very unique unknown to them that it's just a trap

Many people view gambling as a bad activity because many people misunderstand gambling, becoming addicted and experiencing significant negative consequences. However, this is ultimately due to their own fault for misbehaving while gambling. However, when gambling is done with proper limits and discipline, it won't lead to problems like recurring addiction.

Addicted individuals tend not to easily recognize that their actions are wrong, and they are likely to continue doing what they desire, which is none other than gambling for the chance of winning big.

As an individual, it is important that you inform your spouse of all your activities mainly when it has to do with gambling, because it is better they are aware earlier and them finding out later when the person has lost everything due to addiction or otherwise, keeping it as secret will only leads to divorce because of lack of truth and trust, therefore avoid not telling your spouse .

At times you might think your spouse will be mad at you,but later they will turn out to be supportive in other to help you manage your gambling life for those that really love their spouse. Alot of gamblers gets addicted because they keep their gambling activities secret from their loved ones which will later affect their future when their is no longer any way to manage the situation anymore.

Alot of families that I know got separated because of gambling because they could not control they their gambling activities and ends up using the family savings for gambling and even use their property as a colateral , since they can't control their habit .

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?

Men with wives that have hate for gambling would prefer not to say it to their wives about their gambling indulgent and may want to make it a secret. Sadly, this cover would blow and spoil the existing trust that was there in between. But should men with wives that hates gambling and wouldn't want the husband to gamble any longer despite knowing it's an activity the husband loves doing with his leisure time, should such men stop gambling just because their wives unapproved of it? Does it deny the man his right to freely do what he loves doing.

I think two couples can come roh and have a thorough dialogue on how to both compromise on each others fond of interest even when it doesn't align with the next person it's only by compromise they can work things together to help one another engage in the right and responsible manner at it.

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.

Gambling is a high-risk activity, and if someone does it excessively or crosses the line, problems will inevitably arise. For everyone, when gambling goes beyond limits, the same financial problems will arise. They may spend more money on gambling than on other things, including personal needs. It's not uncommon for divorce to occur in families where one party is addicted to gambling.

As you said about risky activities in gambling it is actually not that risky if you can limit yourself. Limiting means playing within your financial capacity and not gambling beyond your financial capacity. The most effective method is to gamble according to your bankroll every week. Limit the time you spend playing and managing your bankroll in line with income. Addiction will have a negative impact on family life in many cases divorce is also observed. Therefore, not only gambling addiction but any addiction can have a negative impact on your family life.

Well, it's very common indeed owning up to the fact that this has happened to someone whom I was a friend to, I've talked about this some weeks back on this same thread in some pages back.
Addiction to gambling is very bad and it can lead to a lot of negative things happening to the victim, if as a man, I was married to a woman who gambles, and every time I would give her money to prepare a meal for us, she would use the money to gamble and possibly lose it, and then go borrow money to make thr meal and later, I will be the one to pay back the money she borrowed, my marriage with such a woman or lady won't last whether or not child or children are already involved.

And same goes for the woman whose husband is an addicted gambler, she may likely try to see how her husband can come out from the addiction but if all her efforts proves abortive, I will not blame her if she packs up and leaves the marriage.
It is very important for all who gamble to gamble responsibly and avoid getting addicted at all cost.

Maybe husband should also consider leaving his wife because when they get married, they must have given each other vows to be together when they are rich and poor, when they have joy and problems. Now wife wants to observe how husband try to solve addiction problem instead of helping. Love joined them, but money separated them. From my point of view this wasnt a real marriage then. I would leave a partner if money is what only matters to her.

In my observations, if there are financial difficulties in the family, the relationship between the spouses deteriorates and most often the wives blame the men for not being able to provide for their family. Conversations about equality quickly fall silent when it comes to earning money, because women often earn less and this is clearly not enough to provide for the family. If there is a gambling addiction, then this will only complicate everything, but this can also be dealt with, the main thing is that there is a desire for this on both sides.

All I am wondering is how much snoring is causing the divorce because it is pretty high and one of the common reasons for new couples to break up.

I doubt just gambling is causing this but the partner lying to the other creates misunderstanding and it just keeps on building over many things so gamble or not gamble just be transparent and if someone likes you that way then that is the right person to spend the life. Not someone who wants an ideal husband or wife.

[AprilioMP]

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 very situational. But I think if I were in that position, I wouldn't talk about my gambling habit with my partner because it could be the beginning of a relationship breakdown if they view gambling negatively.

The beginning of a family breakdown can be caused by one of the partners' gambling habits. If one of the partners' gambling drastically changes their habits, such as no longer providing for daily expenses as usual, or running up debts, then the relationship will be psychologically damaged.
Conversely, even if one partner continues to gamble and their needs are met, it won't destroy the relationship.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

That's correct, some people who truly love their partner will even see the situation as minor problems and would make sure they try to talk the person into abstaining from gambling if it was a lifestyle that they don't feel too comfortable with, it's better that way than to divorce the person and not minding all the money spent in marriage.

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?

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.

This depends on how much income we earn, it is indeed better to tell than to hide it, but almost all wives do not agree to their husbands' requests even though the husband has asked his wife for permission. In situations like this, have an open and honest discussion with your wife about why your husband wants to gamble? and how to ensure that gambling doesn't disrupt the family's finances? Listening to your wife's concerns with empathy is also important as a source of self-introspection for your husband. And husbands also need to evaluate or think a thousand times whether gambling provides benefits that are commensurate with the risks and negative impacts on the family, especially finances and trust. If gambling has the potential to damage family stability, it is advisable to consider reducing or stopping it.

Watch out, a marriage where both partners or one of them decide to hide their gambling habit comes with a lot of problems, deceit, lies, even cheating can be ongoing in such marriages.

Gambling is one of those evil tools that mess easily with any body's emotions, it can make you do something you've vowed to never do, if you are not ready for the challenges it's better to marry someone who is not into gambling.

Gambling involvement in many divorced cases is very high, just know yourself and what you are dealing with, a responsible gambler will always want to be looked after because they still can't tell if they will do it wrong or not, telling their partners to look out for them shows they are the goat.

I believe divorces don’t happen  because someone gambles or engages in some other activity, but rather because one of the partners doesn’t take responsibility for their actions and is simply emotionally immature. When partners in a family are not on equal footing, it often leads to dissatisfaction, resentment, and eventually divorce as a consequence.An emotionally healthy and mature person cannot build a relationship with someone whose psychological age is stuck at 8–15 years old. We enter marriage to be partners, not to become parents to our spouses.

I dont know, this thread seems really surreal to me. If we're talking about gamblers who have a gambling problem, i can agree with you, but even in other contexts of alcohol, drug and other addictions, we have the same anomalies.

I don't know what you want to prove with this thread honestly.

Oh man, I would be grateful if my partner willing to share household expenditure even though she earn less. It's not about how much she can give, but it's about the mindset both of them working together to pay bills.

Imagine if you live in a country where the man must provide EVERYTHING e.g. household (yourself, your partner and your baby), your partner's desire, your parent and your parent in law.

Even your partner is working and get paid higher than you, she will treat every penny she received is for her alone.

Some gamblers are so irresponsible and they allow their gambling lifestyle to be a problem to their marriage life. Atleast before getting married one must have known what gambling is more about,  the uncertainty in gambling and as a game that you don't need to depend on for money. Getting married,  it is better to put the marriage first and to alo reduce one's gambling activities because marriage is not a joke because whatever you are doing to make money money it has to be very sure.  People needs to understand this very well, gambling is not sure and their is no need for people to allow it to be a problem in marriage .

I will continue to say it, irresponsible gambling is a habit that's formed overtime, I think people has to check themselves, in as much as I know that addicted individual needs help, I think they should help themselves too, being an irresponsible gambler don't do marriage good, and I think the only thing that can salvage this situation is individuals having a good source of income and a job that takes much of his or her time too, one thing everyone one should understand is that once you're married, you're meant to know that you've entered another level of life as such making your marriage work becomes a priority that shouldn't be joked with, so at this point you need do away with things that can cause havoc in your marriage and I think gambling shouldn't in the first place come in between partners, our family is too precious for that.

When a man’s wife dislikes gambling and the man enjoys it as part of his free time, it’s a tough place to be keeping it secret might seem like a solution but that usually just breaks the trust and makes things worse in the long run.

Ideally, couples need to talk openly and honestly about their different interests even if they don’t agree they can find ways to compromise so both sides feel respected for example maybe limiting gambling time or money spent so it doesn’t affect the relationship or finances it’s not about giving up what you love but about making room for each other and being responsible so neither feels hurt or ignored.At the end of the day, no one wants to deny someone their passions but relationships need balance and respect otherwise one side’s happiness comes at a cost to the other so talking and finding middle ground is the only way really to keep things working without resentment growing. Also, knowing when to take a step back is crucial if gambling causes real problems or stress in the relationship it might be time to rethink how much you’re involved in it so both people feel safe and valued. In any case hiding things never solves the deeper issues over time it builds secrets and distance so it’s better to face the challenge together with respect and patience it’s never easy when interests clash but finding a shared way forward is what keeps relationships strong in the long run

Yes of course gambling can break up marriages and family relationships, just imagine you use all your resources to gamble and loose everything without leaving anything for the family and you are also the head of the family, you have broken the family relationship already except your family members don't know you got down financially through betting. That's why when gambling responsible it very important that you make it open to your partner,let him or her know and hear their response towards it, because if your partner doesn't know you are gambling and things goes wrong, you have broken the thrust in that relationship, and have definitely scattered the relationship.
