Gambling can have negative impact on relationship and can cause untold financial strain on both persons involved. Excessive gambling can equally lead to trust issues and emotional distress. I have seen couples that have decided to go their separate ways because the husband is a chronic gambler and have even collected loans for gambling. Excessive gambling can bring financial crisis in the relationship.
According to Bureau of statistics, it is estimated that about 80% of chronic gamblers have relationship strain.

I completely agree with your points about the negative impact of gambling on relationships. The financial strain caused by excessive gambling can lead to severe consequences within a relationship. Trust issues can arise when one partner is constantly gambling away money, especially if they resort to taking out loans without the other's knowledge. This behavior can break down the foundation of trust that is essential in any relationship.

Financial crisis resulting from gambling can also create immense stress and tension in a relationship. The pressure of managing debts, keeping up with bills, and trying to maintain a standard of living can take a toll on both partners. Ultimately, this can lead to emotional distress, arguments, and potentially even separation.

It is worrying to hear that 80% of chronic gamblers experience relationship strain, as this statistic highlights the pervasive nature of this issue. It is crucial for individuals struggling with gambling addiction to seek help not only for their own well-being but also for the sake of their relationships. Open communication, counseling, and support from loved ones can all play a significant role in addressing the negative impact of gambling on relationships.

Yes, excessive gambling can have great impact in relationships. Most of the time, it leads to financial strain between both parties as one uses money that was meant to service both of them. So they end up struggling financially until one decides to cut off the relationship.

Non-gambling partners may feel betrayed and hurt upon learning that their partner has a gambling problem, which can cause them to become enraged, resentful, and lose trusting of one another. The basis of the partnership may be seriously weakened by this erosion of trust.

That is right. Most people do gambling secretly and when their partner finds out about it, they feel betrayed and can't trust them anymore. Conflict also arises when the gambling partner loses money that was meant to benefit both or the other partner, they will feel so angry about it and this could lead to breakup and divorce.

Gambling's effects go beyond the individual; they also impact friendships and family relationships. The emotional strain is frequently placed on those who are close to the gambler, which causes distress to spread.
