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?

Let's define what partners are first. As far as I know, when you have a partner in life, you shouldn't hide anything from each other. It's unfair if one person is completely open with you,
but you're not fully open with them. However, if you're both open about everything, it won't be difficult to handle unexpected challenges that come your way as partners.

Hiding things can become a root of conflict between a couple because it can seem like you don't trust them. If your partner knows you're gambling,
they can at least remind you when they notice you've reached your limits.
