Many people keep gambling a secret and many do not like to keep it a secret, but those who lose regularly in gambling have more problems in their families. And the gambler admits it only when he is able to win repeatedly in gambling, but it is not possible to win in gambling always, sometimes he has to lose.
But the problems start when the gambler loses more money than he should lose, then the problems arise in the family. And due to the creation of problems, later separation can occur between the two, but I have seen such problems in the family of gamblers in marital situations.
Some people doesn't keep their gambling habits secret but yet they still lose so much money and face gambling issues that leads to some family issues. You can remember the incident of some addicted gambling partners that stole from their wife or girlfriend just to continue gambling, while some stole their kids school fee and went to gamble with the money. But the worst of it is when you get married to a partner that doesn't like your gambling lifestyle and you then have to keep it a secret, meaning that any day she finds out, the marriage is over.
Of course, it won't be very pleasant if she finds out, but essentially not telling her, but continuing to play, this can already be considered cheating. Literally 2 days ago I read a story in which a husband stole his wife's savings from a safe, which amounted to 25 thousand dollars. She was simply shocked and called the police, to which he said that he would return everything, although she did not expect that he did this, because she seriously thought that some stranger did it. It turns out that 2 troubles happened here at once, the first is that there is no money and the second is that that loving husband will no longer exist and they will part forever.
