Gambling addiction can betray even your wife or husband

[Fiasem20]

Ofcourse yes gambling addiction doesn’t even consider how close you are to a person it could be your spouse,children or friends.The internet has been posting news about gambling addicts and how they’ve destroyed the trust and love their loved ones had for them before,I could remember vividly was it not last week I came across a thread on this gambling discussion board about a woman that had multiple husbands and they were the ones funding her gambling lifestyle unknowing to them.It is clearly known that a gambling addict can go an extra mile just to satisfy their gambling desires and they’re the ones tarnishing the image of gambling,because when these news start circulating on the internet people would conclude only on the negative side.

This could just be as a result of gambling addiction, otherwise why would somebody used the money meant for his wife healthcare to gamble, isn't that insane? Well I see that the guy is a chronic Gambler who doesn't care about the implications he get after gambling. This one is even small case compeard to the ones I have heard. Some even sold their house to gamble and become homeless. While some gamble with company fund in their possession and they land in prison for that act, but I guess this will be a small money compeard to those story I heard, but However it is not a good idea to take money that does not belong to you to gamble, it is called stealing and it's against the law. If taking to court he will land in prison, so let's be guided and learn self control on how we gamble, to avoid embarrassment.

I quite understand your view about being your own manager of your money but when you look at it from the other from the other way,  they are couples and maybe the woman has not suspected the husband to be that careless to use money in his custody for gambling. You know there is a level of trust expected among spouse and I'm sure lessons have been learnt on that.

Life should be about people not to trust themselves, but they should also not try to betray anyone. There are situations that the person you trust will really disappoint you and in a way that the person will feel ashamed of himself or herself for disappointing the person or people that he or she wished not to have disappointed. My money that is not with me, I do not trust the person the money is with. Not even a friend or family member.

I believe the reason why we have addicted gamblers are due to negligence, some people neglect advise and correction so bad that they will never agree or believe for once that someone is right, they hsve become Mr right themselves and it is very bad and what comes next after this is addiction,  and it is also very funny and at same time not funny how some won't admit for a fact that they are addicted until they have become totally miserable that's when they will seek for help.

Obviously, that is one of the things that makes them become a victim, they thought that other people opinions don't matter, as everything they do its right for them, if they get the idea that sometimes they might be wrong, it will really help them to avoid some mistakes that would have ruined their lives and they won't be in some situations that will choke them because some times its for one to adhere to others advise, but its essential for one to verify before making use of it.

This is not supposed to be a strange occurrence in families where the husband does not know how to manage money.
There are families where either the wife or the husband spend money extravagantly and it will be too bad when the money is spent on gambling where it's not gonna be recovered.

At least when you spend money on food or groceries, you are seeing the value of what you have used the money to buy but when you spend the money on gambling, there will be nothing to show as evidence which can be seen as wastage.

Life should be about people not to trust themselves, but they should also not try to betray anyone. There are situations that the person you trust will really disappoint you and in a way that the person will feel ashamed of himself or herself for disappointing the person or people that he or she wished not to have disappointed.

This life is not balanced and I don't know why the good and humble people often end up with impolite or stubborn partner.
There is always been someone in a family that will be the black sheep and this can be unfair to good families with morals.
We don't have to trust people easily, they have to be tested and confirmed to be genuine before entrusting money with them.

These show that when a person gets addicted, he is not in it alone. His friends, family members, neighbours, and even strangers may likely get affected by it, both directly and indirectly. It will either be that the addicted person is stealing from them or is always begging/borrowing money from them to fund his addiction. Some go as far as selling off family properties or incurring huge debts, which will still be paid by their family members or those who care about them.

That is why no one should act like they don't care when they notice that someone close to them is battling with addiction or is nursing a bad habit that could lead to addiction.

Constant persuasion will go a long way. Offering help in whatever way possible will help the addicted gambler recover faster.

Gambling is very dangerous, just like I have posted earlier on this thread today, even people should not completely trust themselves. The husband could be a very good person, know how to handle life situations and also able to save money. But it could be that he later knows about gambling and such thing happened. Although, he has to be blamed, but spouses should keep their money themselves. This is a lesson that many people will still not accept until they learn when it happens to them. There has been other ones that I have read about before that are not a not about gambling addiction and not related to gambling.

Addiction is a cruel thing, even if the person who is addicted knows that something terrible happens due to their addiction they can't help it just like that, it is going to be a very long process to recover from it completely and in a healthier way. One should avoid any possibility to make gambling as their habit because once it becomes a regular habit then the story of long and painful process will arrive too and surely the loved ones will be affected mentally, phycially and financially.

You know sometimes they do know and accept that they are addicted but they are ashamed to admit it in public even if they know the truth, I have been in such situation before,
So they might be passing through some couple of things and thoughts within them, but they don't want to admit it in public because they are ashamed, and as a result they will argue and disagree that they are not addicted.
Although some individuals genuinely will not accept both in person and openly, but we also know that there are so E that are just ashamed of accepting it in public.

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.

Gambling addiction will push you to do something for your personal gains, even if your mind won't agree but your heart is telling you to do so, so you can't stop it once your emotions are into it. That's how bad gambling addiction is.

But in all honesty, not all gambling addicts totally lose control of their proper thinking. Some can even manage well their emotions, and stop when they need to stop. But most of them are totally blinded with their own greed, and continue to bet money that's not their own and betray their spouses, or even their parents just to have something to bet.

I have never had such a story and hope to never have it. I have been in heavily addiction before yet never to the point to use wife money for my desire of gambling. I know that addiction does not spare anyone and people heavily addicted have even done worse than using wife funds yet even have gone with arm to do robberies and they have been caught on the act, so lots of devastating things come from gambling addiction and using wife funds is one of them unfortunately.

These stories really make me think how stupid people can be to do such things. And how they prepare themselves to take such risks. I don't have any such stories. But even though I have kept myself in control, sometimes I have lost all my earnings by gambling. And then I have borrowed from friends for a while to support my family. But I have never dared to gamble with my own savings or the savings kept for my family. No, when I see such stories, I try to control myself even more and try to convince myself how dangerous gambling is and I must try to stay away from it. I can never become addicted.
