Gambling addiction can betray even your wife or husband

[Rubuchi]

Gambling addiction is very bad, it can completely destroy the gambler, so it is good to gamble with discipline, as a result of which one can control one's emotions and greed and maintain self-control over oneself and protect oneself from big losses, as well as keep oneself free from gambling addiction. An addicted gambler can easily do any heinous thing to arrange money, so it is very important to always be aware and gamble.

once a guy stops deceiving himself thinking gambling addiction can not affect them, that’s when they become more exposed to the dangers and the trap of gambling. Gambling is addictive and it should be written boldly on the walls of all gamblers that GAMBLING IS ADDICTIVE and that should serve as a reminder to all the gamblers who get carried away with the gambling game and forget to be just with it. Gambling is enjoyed as a game of entertainment and not as an avenue for you to make exorbitant profits else you will be consumed by it.

This is no longer new, with gambling addiction, you can do things that you think you're not capable of doing from the beginning, even betraying your own wife by gambling her own funds for her medication. This is the worst thing a husband can do to his wife, but the truth is, even the husband itself has lost completely his own logic and wise thinking.

He is just a victim of gambling addiction, that's why if you can't carry the risk with gambling, better not to enter gambling even once.

Do you have a story of betrayal caused by addiction to gambling?

There are many cases like this in my place where a husband addicted to gambling often prioritize gambling over their family, spending their salaries on gambling instead of fulfill their family needs. When they lose they often borrow money from others just to fulfill their daily needs. Gambling addiction made the husband blind to their priority it could ruin their kids future because money that should be spent on education but used for gambling instead.

I wonder what the husband in question was thinking at the moment. Could it be he was looking for a way out of the marriage or trying to dodge his responsibility of care to the wife, or was trying to rob Peter to pay Paul?
Now he's been found guilty, am sure he must have a good explanation and if he doesn't, it really doesn't matter. What matter is that he will pay double both by serving a sentence and paying off a huge debt, making him twice the fool of a stupid addiction of gambling and greed.

Addiction to gambling can betray your loved one; it's hard to imagine the husband spending his wife's care funds on gambling at casinos. As her husband, it is his duty to ensure the funds entrusted to him are used for her medical needs, but instead, he gambles them away.

The truth is that any relationship in which there are secrets or betrayal (of any kind) is doomed to fail!

Since betrayal is not just about "sleeping" with another person, it can also be using money in secret, going to places and not telling to your partner (even if it is not a physical affair). welll.... if there is no trust between a couple, then the relationship is unlikely work out.

Now, using money that had been saved for medical care!? That is an outrageous!
It is a sign that he is probably more sicker than she is. Gambling addiction is a cruel mental illness that can make people to commit terribles acts without thinking twice.

I hope that, despite the pain, she manages to recover financially and continue her treatment. As for him, maybe a few years in prison could cure his gambling addiction... forced treatment

let me tell you sometimes it is not a fault of a gambler because when is doing those things and gambling he does not know, when you addicted in gambling you will do things that people will be surprised of you doing, gambling can make you to steal money from another person that you are not supposed to Steal if you don't control your emotion, I do emphasize that gambling have a negative influence but most of us does not work on such comment or idea, so we need to know our budget in gambling and we also need to set a limit so that when gambling will not gamble above our limit, but anything that makes a gambler to be addicted in gambling it can do otherwise important to gamble and the satisfy his wishes and urge in gambler

I highly agree, gambling addiction can betray those people the person himself loved.  Person who is addicted can also betray himself. 

If we look at how gambling addiction affect a person, we can see that gambling addiction makes the person lose control.  As gambling addiction is explained, uncontrolled gambling urges.  Meaning the person who is addicted can lie to his partner and other people around him about his financial activities.  A husband who is a gambling addict can lie to his wife that his boss witheld their wages and that is why he don't have money for their family needs.  That lie is a betrayal of the wife's trust.

At the same time, betraying oneself because the husband wanted to support his family, but due to uncontrolled urges to gamble, he couldn't stop himself from gambling.

Do you have a story of betrayal caused by addiction to gambling?

I know someone who is a very close friend of mine who suffers because his husband got hooked on gambling.

[stadus]

I've seen lies. Well, it's almost betrayal, too.

I have seen friends lie to their wives just so they can keep on gambling. It's not really robbing from their wives because it is their salary, but they always keep some amount for their gambling problems and will just give what is left, promising that it is the only salary they received. Yeah, I think it's also betrayal.

Many of my friends love gambling on cockfighting, and I don't even understand why they get addicted to it. They will sneak some money from their salary so they can gamble in the cockpit and go home a loser, most of the time.

Yeah that's still betrayal. But I think the weight of betrayal isn't that much, given that they are still using their own hard-earned money.

Unlike of this news, the nerve of the husband to gamble funds for medication, shame on him. Even if we'll say gambling has made him do that, but hey everyone can resist gambling so that it won't reach to its addiction. But I guess the husband must be enjoying her wife's money, not until he lose them all.

[Sonia_123]

This is too bad , what was his reason for gambling with are medical bill, does he thinks he can quickly recover the money from gambling after he must have won, that is why it has being adviced to gamble with what you can afford to lose.

This is the problem of addiction, you will not even reason about anyone but only about yourself , they don't care if one is dieing, all they are after is to satisfy their urge.

Do you have a story of betrayal caused by addiction to gambling?

In my environment there was a married couple whose relationship was ruined by gambling. The husband lost everything, even his wife possessions of gold and some other valuables have been sold to fulfill his gambling passion. Debts are piling up everywhere and until now have not been paid off. Actually, cases like this are very common, but reading the incident you are making the topic here feels more sad to me. I didn't know what to say, what I thought was that the man was completely crazy for using the money that was supposed to be for treatment.

Very few people with gambling addictions can maintain a healthy relationship or marriage for a long time.
If such a relationship persists, it is often the other party who has to make huge sacrifices. They are constantly understanding, trying to pay off debts, and doing everything they can. But this person begins to compromise their own life and happiness. Gambling addiction isn't just a financial problem it also destroys trust and family stability.

Its not even encouraged for one to gamble to the extent of even becoming an addict to it because it will cause one more harm than good in their lives, which includes their marriage and other things that are valuable in their lives. That is why gamblers are advised to ensure they avoid anything that will lead them into becoming addicted to gambling, because if they become addicted to it, it will affect their families, works and their health but for the sake of their mental wellbeing, practicing healthy gambling lifestyle is very essential.

Those who are addicted to gamble didn't know how it happens, they just see themselves gambling like every other gamblers not until they start experiencing some changes in Thier lifes. And it was that very moment they should have stopped gambling for the main time until they come back to Thier right senses but instead they just continue gambling with the hope that they will control themselves, but instead they got controlled by gambling. However, As a gambler once you start noticing some changes in lifestyle all you need to do is to take a self exclusion break maybe for 3 weeks or one month so as to clear your help because there is no how you can clear it when you're still gambling instead you will make it get worse.

Most of them know, they know the rules of one being responsible when gambling, yet they will go against those rules and gamble the way they want, thinking that way will help them out in gambling, which they want to force luck to happen due to greed or selfishness in them, that is why most gamblers become addicted to the game. But, if they stick or stayed grounded to the right rules of gambling, I don't think there will be any way gambler will get addicted to the extent of it affecting their lives.

The thing is, once you fall into the trap and get highly addicted with gambling, the only way you can fulfill your gambling urge is to betray the people around you, most especially if you are not earning your own income.

Betrayal is never new to gambling, everyone makes lies and betray their wives so that they can find means to stay gambling. But this kind of news has gone so far. It's a different thing when you are betraying from the person who's currently fighting for his life, while you are gambling her medication money, she is gambling for her life.

[Maslate]

This is too much. I understand how some men trying to create lies to their wives just because they have plans to gamble their money. Most of the gamblers are actually doing that, especially if their wives are against with gambling.

But I don't think any gambler should steal one's money medication, especially that he is the husband, and one should provide for the medication, not the wife who is lying in bed trying to heal her injury.

No gambler gambles with the intention to lose, although losses are inevitable in gambling you can be sure that the husband must have hoped that he would make some wins and even profits on the money he was entitled to save but, he chose to be smart and got it all wrong. He would have conceded the idea of returning it at some point but, not being able to meet up with that seized to be his alibi.
It’s always a lot of risk gambling with funds that isn’t yours, loosing that always puts your under so much pressure as you are bound to refund it.

[danadc]

gambling addiction isn't a valid reason to betray a husband or wife, because the casino doesn't do anything, unless someone goes there and meets with them, and that's where they might commit infidelity. I think that betrayal stems more from a lack of trust, if one of them starts hiding things, something as delicate as money, or spending the other's money; that's a lack of trust that can arise.

[Achalugo BTC]

The most surprising thing of the matter is that there are several news about gambling addiction and how it is very bad and which I know most people would have read about. Another thing is that it is very possible that some people have even seen how some people in their environment get addicted to gambling but still they decided to let gambling to be controlling their lives just because of greed. They just want to look for money from gambling and which is not good at all. They will not understand, they will think they can be different until they become addicted.

That is stupidity and you know, people don't really learn, even if its the hard way they won't still learn and this is why they think of they try their own luck, things might turn out around but still they will end up like the others. And its hurts when I see those who gambles and get addicted along the line when they are aware of the potential risks involved but still choose to do things their own way, when the rule clearly stated that the game is for one to get fun and be entertained by it and not to make money by it, one can only be luck to win but that's not always, which they will do the opposite as it will hurt or cause them pains in their lives and their relationships as well.

[r_victory]

Even knowing that addiction is uncontrollable, something like this is unforgivable. Worse still, just like this guy, there are many who use money they shouldn't, such as money intended for child support or the purchase of medication, as I've seen happen here where I live.

Do you have a story of betrayal caused by addiction to gambling?

Addiction can really change a person's mindset to be bad or reckless, cases like this in my opinion are no longer Strange even though they may only occur occasionally but the basic problem is that addiction is not strange anymore, because someone who is addicted does tend to be more daring to take risky actions that can even endanger himself.
I myself have never encountered stories of betrayal caused by gambling addiction, and I hope I did not experience it.

There are several people who know the risk of being addict to gambling, however they think they can avoid these mistakes that others have made. After a few successes, that trust is lost and they start playing for higher returns, and ultimately higher losses. Desperation, stress, financial hardships and the need to recoup lost funds can contribute to addiction, as can greed. When gambling begins to have an impact on honesty, trust and family responsibilities, things get much more serious. One individual can even cover up losses or deceive their spouse to keep gambling. Hence. Gambling should always be considered as a pastime activity and not a means to solve monetary issues.
