I don't see the two have a happy ending,
it always ends worse,
we need to choose one out of the two.

This is not necessarily so. Gambling can be fun if you don't risk amounts which you can't afford to lose. Gambling can even help in making a relationship last, when both partners are engaged in the process. But you are right in the situation when only one partner is a gambler, then indeed one have to choose either gambling or the relationship. Gambling consumes too much time and if you are not with your partner in it together the relationship will end sooner or later.

You put on a joke, LOL. Gambling does not have a good thing and only has a lot of evils and losses. Gambling games must be removed from a relationship. Whatever the way that do not ever include gambling in our lives. If you consider gambling as an entertainment then I think it is a mistake because entertainment will never destroy a life. And when we consider gambling as an income then it is a stupidity because there is still much more convincing work and making a lot of money than just hoping for a gambling game.

Well probably not everyone would agree to your statement where it only has evils. Because if you think about it it would really be your self where you let greed destroy your life but if you manage it I think it would lead to a better outcome. It doesn't hurt to have entertainment once in awhile but thinking you could make a lot of money there would be stupid.

That's right, that's when gambling becomes "evil" when people start thinking of it as of a source of income. Treating it as an entertainment you can enjoy it and you can be with your partner in it strengthening your relationship.

... entertainment will never destroy a life.

Oh, really? What about mountain climbing, scuba diving, sky-jumping and many other activities which are entertaining but take the very lives of people, not only their money? What about alcohol drinking which takes tens of thousands lives yearly? I'm not going to stop drinking my beer in the evening just because other people abuse it and die or end up in the hospital. I'm sorry for them, but alcohol should not be called evil because of their abuse. Same refers to gambling. Just don't abuse it and you'll be fine.

Thank you for agreeing with me. I hope that a lot of people would open their eyes with the possible addiction that can come from entertainment. It's saddening that people died because of their hobbies and entertainment to experience happiness maybe they are looking for something else that they think would feel their holes in their hearts. Maybe that's happens when you abuse something or take too much for granted.
