Depending on the situation but as partners, there should be no more secrets anymore. That's the reason why you're already tied up to your partner and you shouldn't hide any secrets longer. The reason for most divorce and break ups are not really affairs but about financial matters. And gambling is one of the reason why someone in the relationship is having a break down of his finances because of potential gambling addiction.
Of course, the impact is extraordinary. Sometimes, some husbands are reluctant to tell the truth and only share their work results if they win. Even if they lose, they will try to borrow money outside without their partner's knowledge. This is the beginning of the family's economic decline, especially if they are constantly forced to gamble and keep losing. Sometimes, if the wife has her own income, it's not a major trigger for rifts, but if she relies solely on her husband's income, it can be quite noticeable, especially when she already has significant expenses for her children, including school fees for both secondary and tertiary education.
If the partner is nagger, that also makes the husband to stop telling the truth and continue to hide secrets like his gambling activities. So, we need to be transparent with them and they will also reciprocate.
It changes nothing, telling me that you are gambling as my partner doesn't mean we are cool, I am not going to get into your head to see how responsible you are with gambling, and most of the time those who called themselves responsible goes out of track later on.
There are so many things to be worried about in life and one of them is taking care of my kid, not the financial side but the stress then I still have to manage my business too, now imagine I have a gambling partner too whom I will have to be worried about, monitoring a grown ass man to not become a addicted gambler is a lot of work me.
If anyone out there is divorcing because their partner is a gambler I won't stop them, there are just too many headaches in the world today, unless you want to end up locked up in an mental institution.
You're absolutely right, too many problems already to worried with and if someone just tries to divorce their husbands because they're a gambler. I get it that they don't like it but they're doing it because of the impact of gambling to their lives.
