As for the social isolation, I think this rarely happens to me because my wife is also a gambler so whenever I play I just do it beside her. Bonding between couples is important and it's amazing that gambling can be used for it.
Of course you wouldn't have that kind of challenge that husbands whose wife don't gamble and it is worse when the wife also don't like it too because there is difference between not gambling and don't like it and of course we can imagine what a woman can do in such aspect when she doesn't like something, she avoids it and everything that associates with it.
Your wife being a gambler herself makes things easy for you because she will also understand with you when you lose your game because probably she also would lose in the same game if she had same bet as you did. No doubt that you guys would bond very well because you guys are already same feathers and are flocking together
