and they really liked poker...Im talking in an obsessive kind of way....would that change the way you felt about them if you were considering something with them long term?
Would it change your perspective if they had a gambling problem and had 2 children? Elaborate your opinions please:) |

hmmm I've never thought about that. I have heard it can be a real addiction! If it takes away from money the family needs to survive, then yes, it could be a problem.

hello angelface
 I think children should come 1st.If you have extra money after bills are paid then a little gambling would be ok as long as you had the spending under control

Gamblin is an addiction that can destroy a family so I would have a problem with it. If they were in some kind of treatment and actively tryin to beat it then I would consider that.

I agree that if they were allowed a certain amt after the important things were taken care of....but in this case...I dont think he thinks that far ahead... |

gambling can be an addiction just like drugs/alcohol. Just as the addict/alcohol will promise not to use/drink the gambler will promise not to gamble but will find himself giving in to the temptation. It has torn families apart. It doesn't mean the person is a bad person just a person with a problem/addiction that they need to deal with. It can be overcome if they are willing to face it.

If they are obsessed with gambling, and you try to confront it or correct it, they will most likely just do it behind your back.
GOOD LUCK! (no pun intended)

If the person has a gambling addiction then you should help them get some help before you start a relationship.

You cant help someone with an addiction, they must help themselves. Thats not being mean, just they must admit they have a problem and seek the help themselves.They cant do it for you...
If the person has a gambling addiction then you should help them get some help before you start a relationship. |
