is there a connection between gambling and divorce rate?

Research from the National Gambling Impact Study Commission and the Gambling Impact and Behavior Study indicates that divorce rates for those dealing with gambling issues are estimated to be around 40% for problem gamblers and approximately 54% for pathological gamblers.

i think the moment we hide our gambling habits from our partners that is the moment we will get in trouble because that is when trust crumbles and when you get in trouble in gambling and have to tell your partner you will be surprising them

not to mention some people also spend money from money that both the partners contributed in

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses? does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

Divorce is directly and indirectly related to gambling. When a gambler loses his money while gambling, he becomes mentally disturbed, as a result of which his relationship with someone in the family is not good. He becomes addicted to gambling and the situation reaches such a stage that he indulges in various kinds of misdeeds to earn money from gambling. A wife, as a well-wisher, tries to remove her husband from gambling, as a result of which two types of ideologies are created between the husband and wife, as a result of which various kinds of problems start to arise between them, as a result of which it is seen that when the problem reaches the highest level, the husband and wife get divorced. Again, there are cases where a gambler puts various kinds of pressure on his wife for gambling money, which is why many times the wife cannot bear it and divorces her husband.

within the setting of marriage gambling creates serious conflict mostly if the person gambling is an addict.most families don't support gambling,I will advice you talk to your partner/spouse very well as a gambler before you go into marriage,the person finding out after marriage can also end it because a spouse who often try to intervene and stop his partner from gambling,such efforts can lead to clashes of ideology and constant argument.
Trust me,as the addiction deepens,trust erodes, communication breakdown too and the marriage suffers slot, mostly if you have started having kids. Divorce is still certain in most cases when the gambler (addict) places financial pressure on their partner demanding and requesting for money to continue gambling,when it becomes unbearable separation, anxiety and divorce becomes the common outcome.
