Such things happen naturally when a person starts gambling in a new situation, no one can understand it at first. When they lose all their money and see bad aspects in their behavior, that is when they understand that the person is addicted to gambling. There are many people around us who are addicted to gambling but their families are not able to understand it till now. Only when they lose all their money and sell their assets, that is when they will understand that they are addicted to gambling.

Yes, but the point is that it could happen with anything that destroys the family or the family unit.
Even alcohol, or smoking, or drugs. The point is that addiction to anything destroys everything.
If you're playing normally for fun and a chat at the bar, i don't think it'll cause any problems. My partner and i had an experience.

Addiction is a very serious issues that if not handled in a reasonable manner could lead to too many things affecting the person involved and this could be their individual lives and maybe their marital lives a the case maybe. this isn't limited to gambling alone only that the context in which we are discussing it at this point is with gambling and so it becomes mostly that we wan to relate it with gambling but we know that even with things such as drinking and smoking can lead to hurts and harm on the individual and their families.

Even when playing for fun at any place with your partner, it is very important that you put into consideration the fact that you should avoid it getting to the point of addiction because even with your partner, you both could get addicted combinedly as a couple and that is even worse off.

Addiction is one of those things that creeps in slowly and before you know it you are caught up in something that takes control over your decisions it doesn’t just affect the individual but it spreads out to family friends and even work life it drains finances damages trust and makes people lose sight of what really matters. Many people think they can handle it because it starts small maybe a few games or a few drinks but when there is no control it builds into a habit that is very hard to stop once it reaches that point it feels like the person is no longer choosing for themselves but being driven by the addiction itself. The worst part is how it blinds people to reality they ignore the warning signs keep making excuses and tell themselves they will quit tomorrow but tomorrow never comes until something major happens like losing money losing a partner or facing serious health problems that is usually when people realize how deep they are in. To stay safe it is important to build discipline early always know your limits and never let any habit take the space of your priorities life is bigger than these temporary pleasures and no short term thrill is worth losing long term peace and happiness.
