When some one cross his limitation, the situation is no longer normal. At that time, there is no way to take any decision. If the gambler is addicted and does not care about the family, then it is natural to want to end this situation. At some point, the patience between the husband and wife is definitely lost. Due to which they try to break up their relationship. Although many times it is seen that no one can take the decision normally. When one becomes angry such acts are committed.
Gambling is a high-risk activity, and if someone does it excessively or crosses the line, problems will inevitably arise. For everyone, when gambling goes beyond limits, the same financial problems will arise. They may spend more money on gambling than on other things, including personal needs. It's not uncommon for divorce to occur in families where one party is addicted to gambling.
Well, it's very common indeed owning up to the fact that this has happened to someone whom I was a friend to, I've talked about this some weeks back on this same thread in some pages back.
Addiction to gambling is very bad and it can lead to a lot of negative things happening to the victim, if as a man, I was married to a woman who gambles, and every time I would give her money to prepare a meal for us, she would use the money to gamble and possibly lose it, and then go borrow money to make thr meal and later, I will be the one to pay back the money she borrowed, my marriage with such a woman or lady won't last whether or not child or children are already involved.
And same goes for the woman whose husband is an addicted gambler, she may likely try to see how her husband can come out from the addiction but if all her efforts proves abortive, I will not blame her if she packs up and leaves the marriage.
It is very important for all who gamble to gamble responsibly and avoid getting addicted at all cost.
