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?
Depending on the situation but as partners, there should be no more secrets anymore. That's the reason why you're already tied up to your partner and you shouldn't hide any secrets longer. The reason for most divorce and break ups are not really affairs but about financial matters. And gambling is one of the reason why someone in the relationship is having a break down of his finances because of potential gambling addiction.
Yes, it is true that one of the reasons for divorce is financial crisis. And gambling can put a person in a financial crisis. There are very few records of a gambler maintaining his financial condition through gambling. Everyone thinks of winning something big very quickly to strengthen his financial condition but what happens to them is always the opposite. And such an activity can definitely increase the risk of divorce. Because when someone loses everything through gambling, the life partner will not go to spend his life with him if he cannot fulfill his needs. This is a normal calculation.
