Both sides in that story have responsibility the man shouldn’t have turned to gambling as a way to solve his stress or money problems but at the same time constant pressure at home can push someone into poor decisions especially if they already feel trapped or unsupported.

Family should always come first and both partners need to share the burden instead of blaming or demanding when money is tight communication is what’s missing in most of these situations if the wife had tried to understand his limits instead of pushing for more and if the husband had looked for better ways to cope instead of escaping through gambling the situation might not have gotten that bad. In the end gambling never solves financial stress it only makes it worse but emotional stress and lack of understanding inside the family can easily drive a person there that’s why balance and open conversation are so important especially when money is involved.
