Do you ever gamble with your spouse on a cruise?

[Fiatless]

In terms of privacy and how to gamble if it's right or not in front of your spouse, it should be based on the type of person you get married to. There is a difference between gambling at home and when you are on a fun date, cruise, etc., because it's all about fun, and if gambling is also part of the planned fun, then she can be part of it unless she doesn't like it, and then we can choose a different thing to do, not like you are forcing her to it.

In some religions, gambling is seen as a serious sin. This might be the reason why some people might not gamble in such a memorable event. Besides that, I don't see gambling on a cruise ship with your partner as something wrong. It's just part of the fun of being in that location. I have attended a religious activity where gambling was part of the occasion. It was nothing serious other than having fun with members of the religious organisation.

Even though I don't dare gamble at home in front of my spouse, the thought of taking him on a cruise and gambling there is a luxury. Actually she was not that kind of gambling friendly she is one kind of anti-gambling as well also the region where I live in that actually not the gambling friendly. The culture here actually doesn't look favorably on gambling. And because of this culture, even if I go gambling with my spouse, I will feel uneasy. So I think it's better to keep my gambling private. Lol.

Your words suggest that your married life is quite happy. This is because you respect your spouse a lot. Usually, in developed countries, most husbands and wives take gambling and drinking together as a matter of course. But in most countries, people do not even discuss these matters in front of their wives, let alone gamble with their wives. Because they respect each other. However, due to the luck of their spouse, it is better not to bring their spouse to gamble, no matter how much a gambler wins.

You're right. Gambling together, whether with a husband and wife or a boyfriend and girlfriend, can seem very enjoyable to some but very difficult for others. It largely depends on the country or society you live in. In many countries, gambling is considered normal; people gamble in public places without much concern. However, in other countries, gambling is viewed very negatively, and many people avoid discussing it with their families. Personally, I keep my gambling habits private, rarely sharing with friends and relatives, and I would never gamble openly with my wife, knowing she would react very badly.

If it's for fun, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. If you know how much you can afford to lose without it affecting your finances, then it can be an adventure in your life. I think a one time adventure with your spouse can even be fun, but if it turns into a regular habit, meaning you're playing together every week, it could turn out to be something bad. If you want to gamble and know how to control it, then do it on your own, without involving your spouse.

Being a routine activity every week is not a problem as long as you know the limits on the money you are ready to lose at gambling, after all finances are sensitive talks with couples usually, and when both of them are open so there is no problem gambling together and is an alternative to finding entertainment for both partners.
The problem is when the activity is routine but uncontrolled, that's what I thought before that could be a boomerang for the couple and could destroy the family, I prefer my partner to be more sensitive to the spending of money that I use so that I can limit it to a minimum for gambling, because if it is fully supported the man usually dares to bet massively which can destroy him, and that is a bad thing.

This reminded me of a saying that marry your type so they there will be peace in the home and you guys will go along together but if you marry someone that is not your type, there are many things you guys did differently. If you marry someone that is social and gambled before you guys got married. You can have fun in gambling. Congratulations for the anniversary and for the fun. Enjoy yourselves.

It is obvious they were just playing games and having fun as a way of celebrating their anniversary, and it is a good thing he had an understanding wife by his side who understood he was just gambling for fun, despite if they will loose or win and also decided to join him when the husband asked her to. You said if one married someone who gambles before getting married to them, then you can have fun while gambling. To me, it doesn’t matter if she gambled before or not, it just a matter of understanding and enjoying the moment, a woman who didn’t gamble before can also do that since it was just for the sake of having fun that day and not a daily routine.

To be honest I haven't had this experience yet. And the reality is that if my wife ever found out I gambled she would probably want to break up with me. I sometimes gamble secretly and my wife doesn't know. This might be a good guide for me because I'm not addicted to gambling because of her. When I start gambling too much together I remember my wife telling me not to gamble.
But I think you really had some great times with your wife during that cruise ship that I can feel.

[nara1892]

Reading your story, it seems like you really enjoyed celebrating your anniversary with gambling. We can't help but smile at that. If you and your partner could stop after winning, it might be more enjoyable, but it's okay as long as you use money you can afford to lose.
Personally, I've never enjoyed gambling with my partner. I don't know why, but one reason is that gambling is really negative in my country. I mean, most people view it as a negative activity, and I'm afraid that might change my partner's perspective.

A reminder to those who have never been on a cruise and want to gamble. When you go to casino there, you can either deposit own money to play, or use your cruise card (which is key to your cabin, your identity card, your wallet) to play. You spend money during cruise (buy drinks, souvenirs, excursions) or gamble, but pay for everything what you have spent when you leave cruise. This gives opportunity to gamble now (you dont physically spend money) but pay later. For someone it might be a trap.

Very important tidbit of info here, they do put a block on your card for that amount, because you give your card beforehand and not while paying. So if you book a cruise, you give your credit card information, and they block a chunk of it, not take it, like they are not taking your money, they are just blocking you from spending anywhere else, and saying "this chunk can't be used by us, the owner, or any other company and should be untouched", so nobody touches that chunk of money on your card.

Then, when you want to leave, whatever amount you spent there, they take it from there, so you can't just spend more than what that blocked amount is. If they blocked lets say 20k on your card, you can't just get 50k playing chips on the casino part.

[ZeroVinsonN]

As long S it's all fun and games then it's perfectly an okay thing to do, it's effectively a date with how lucky either of you can be and at the end of the day the money you spend there would have still been spent someplace else if you didn't decide to g to the casino that day, it's not an attempt to make money but one to make memories instead, something you can both laugh about when you talk about it after that day, it's ultimately all about building fun memories with each other.

Well, as long its all fun but I don't really like the idea because luck might not be on their side and when there is no money coming forth, they might begin to fight over loss of money. And then, its no longer entertaining. That is why whatever thing that one is doing in life or whatever decisions that one is making in life, they should consider both the risks and the benefits, for them to be on the safer side. Anyways everyone got what they like and also has the right to make decisions for themselves.

But that's my point, they are not just doing it to win they are doing it for the memory they are trying to create, in a situation like this winning or losing isn't the point, they are just there to have fun so the losses won't hit them hard and the winnings won't won't be the only good thing to happen to them there as well, the problem with doing something like this is if you are doing it for the money you plan on winning, gambling is too big a risk for someone to decide they want their spouse to join them so they can win more, it should not be treated as a source of income.

I am not married, but I have a girlfriend that I have placed a bet with before, but it's just once, and what made us to bet was because of an argument we had about on the condition of electricity in my locality. I told her that I believe that electricity has improved in my area of resident, she argued otherwise, so I told her to bet with me that as we are going home now, we are going to meet light at home.
 If my memory serves me right, I think we bet up to 10k Nigerian naira, at the end, I lost because when we both got home, their was no light, because I went to pick her from her place of work after I have already closed from mine.

So she used my 10k to buy suya that night that we both ate, but apart from that, I haven't gamble with her again because she doesn't even knows how to gamble on casinos, except put down money when we are arguing about something that she thought otherwise.

I recently gambled with my spouse for the very first time. It was a fun and exciting experience for both of us. We were celebrating our anniversary on a cruise ship and I talked her into gambling a little bit on some slot machines and roulette. She was my good luck charm on the slot machine I was losing up until I tagged her in (early before I lose it all lmao) good thing too because she came back and doubled the money we put into the slot machine. Then we kept going and lost it all 😂 but that was after we went to the roulette table and got some numbers in and broke even there, at one point we were going to bet like 60 on 25 red and it hit but i was too hesitant and missed what would have been the absolutebanger win and make it so much more memorable oooooff SHH lmao. It was fun though! We spend 1.5 hours and at the end of the day we lost 25 but it was worth it.

Is not every woman that will be okay seeing her husband gambling without complaining,  it is hard to see a woman that would sit comfortably watching her husband to gamble, they are just limited in number, especially with these scary behaviour that woman possess as a result of troubling behaviours often associated with gambling. What matters in marriage is mutual understanding, if the couples understand each other they will know how to handle every single situation. Since that was her first time she will definitely feel the loss even if you see it to be nothing.

Wife would be interested to worry when she observes how the family is wasting its money on gambling. In my opinion, truthful about money is the secret to marital bliss. Bonds of honesty can be sustained through communication of the boundaries with your partner. Attempt to hear what your wife is complaining about so that you can all go through this painful experience in peace.

It's part of the fun, as I also see it that way, but if they are from a religion where gambling is not legal and considered a sin, it would have been planted in their head, and they won't ever consider such an option even if it was offered for free, and anyone who is against the idea because of religion should explain it that way and not make it look like gambling with a spouse is something bad.

[henmark]

What's the point of making it so specific as to gambling on a cruise with a spouse? 😁

I guess mate that is because it is more romantic? Lol. But why not? I mean that was on a cruise ship already and for us poor, we haven't experience this yet. Even on just a brick and mortar casino is only like a dream for me and my spouse. We think we are too peasants to fit on these places lmao. So this is the reason on why we want to get rich and gambling or online gambling to be specific may be one the reason for that to occur.

This is too specific and narrow of a question.
As someone trying gambling here and there my ex was once interested in trying but I noticed she was a little too of an addictive personality. Like she was pushing me to play with more money and chase losses and constantly increase bets.

Maybe that was one of the reason mate on why she now became a memory or an ex . But yeah. We should only be close to the people that has the same mindset as us, as that can make us to grow successfully. As for me, maybe it is only okay as I am also a bit of a fan of gambling and as so as my wife. Good thing that she is seem learning now and not that compulsive anymore. When I see this, it also have a domino impact on me, which is nice overall.

I don't see it bad to gamble alongside with our spouse, all we just needed to do is to ensure that we have good consension together and that is the ultimate reason why things can work together for both, some are gambling and hiding it because they don't want to expose their irresponsibility being as a result of gambling experience, but when you are very sure of what you do, you will be proud of it and even your partner will be able to support you in doing same together with you.

I see very badly, have you ever wondered if your spouse wants to gamble when you're on vacation?
Here it seems to me that we only think about ourselves and only about the game.
This means, ask yourself a question and give yourself an answer, that you have some problem with gambling.
It's called addiction.

[abaeze]

Honestly, finding a partner with this same mentality is a matter of luck. Not all couples will have the same type of entertainment. The important thing is to respect each other's likes/dislikes and find something that both of you can enjoy. This mutual understanding is more valuable for a healthy relationship.

However, there is a lot to learn from your travels. Having a specific budget for entertainment, gambling and mutual respect in marriage. I have not had such an experience yet. However, in gambling if someone decides in advance to spend a certain amount of money only on entertainment and does not exceed that limit, it is seen as like watching a movie or any other entertainment expense. The problem usually starts when people try to recoup the loss or start spending more money beyond the set limit. Hopefully, your partner is treating you well after losing.

This just has to do with how both spouse see gambling. For those that believe that gambling is for irresponsible people or whose religion is against gambling it will be very hard for be both partner to go on gambling cruise. Therefore the mindset that people has built around gambling determine how they will treat others or perceive people that gamble. If gambling was to be part of a religious activity I don't think money will be involved in it because to many religions it will be considered a sin expect it is just for fun and money isn't involved.

Of course, it's difficult to find such a partner, but the point is that during such a fun vacation, we mustn't lose our sense of risk management, because otherwise, my girlfriend and I could lose a lot of money. And sometimes, this could even lead to a fight or even a breakup. I want to say that we need to focus more on the game, our strategy, and think about not exceeding the risk, although we might be tempted to do so. In general, we need to think about this in advance, but this is my opinion and I would do it this way, although I understand that many people won't think about anything, just playing for fun and living in the moment.

My girlfriend doesn't like gambling,she hate it with passion so I don't think she will buy the idea if I suggest we should gamble together. she doesn't like it because she sees it as a waste of money. She has even tried several times to convince me to stop gambling but to no avail. Since she dislike gambling so much she will scold me if I talk to her about gambling together. However whenever I'm bored at home and I feel like to gamble,I usually call my childhood friend and that is because he love gambling as much I do. We prefer betting on virtual soccer. We will chose our team and bet quickly before the countdown elepase. If we are lucky,the bets will play and if we aren't we lose our bets but since we are gambling for fun it doesn't bother us much when we lose.

[jeremypwr]

I have never been on a cruise but I do remember when I gambled with my spouse for the first time.
It was just something new to try and harmless way to have fun.
