So, when I came across that post on reddit, I couldn't help but laugh really hard, and also imagined how many of us gamblers out there are telling one lie or the other just to cover up our gambling habit..

I don't think the person telling the story lied to cover up his habit of gambling, his wife may have known about him gambling but what she didn't know was that he considered gambling the favorite part of his day and not the time spent with her. Telling the wife the truth that whenever he gambled was the best time of his day is a statement capable of ending the marriage. He is a chronically addicted gambler who does not want his partner to know how addicted he is to gambling, and an adicted gambler who will not easily change.

It's really sad and puzzling. Why do people stay in relationships that bring them less joy than gambling? This could indicate a dependency, or perhaps it suggests a need to find a partner with whom they can truly be happy. In any case, if you're engaging in activities that don't bring you pleasure (be it gambling, relationships, or any form of entertainment) it's a clear sign that it's time to stop or make a change
