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?

Men with wives that have hate for gambling would prefer not to say it to their wives about their gambling indulgent and may want to make it a secret. Sadly, this cover would blow and spoil the existing trust that was there in between. But should men with wives that hates gambling and wouldn't want the husband to gamble any longer despite knowing it's an activity the husband loves doing with his leisure time, should such men stop gambling just because their wives unapproved of it? Does it deny the man his right to freely do what he loves doing.

I think two couples can come roh and have a thorough dialogue on how to both compromise on each others fond of interest even when it doesn't align with the next person it's only by compromise they can work things together to help one another engage in the right and responsible manner at it.

When a man’s wife dislikes gambling and the man enjoys it as part of his free time, it’s a tough place to be keeping it secret might seem like a solution but that usually just breaks the trust and makes things worse in the long run.

Ideally, couples need to talk openly and honestly about their different interests even if they don’t agree they can find ways to compromise so both sides feel respected for example maybe limiting gambling time or money spent so it doesn’t affect the relationship or finances it’s not about giving up what you love but about making room for each other and being responsible so neither feels hurt or ignored.At the end of the day, no one wants to deny someone their passions but relationships need balance and respect otherwise one side’s happiness comes at a cost to the other so talking and finding middle ground is the only way really to keep things working without resentment growing. Also, knowing when to take a step back is crucial if gambling causes real problems or stress in the relationship it might be time to rethink how much you’re involved in it so both people feel safe and valued. In any case hiding things never solves the deeper issues over time it builds secrets and distance so it’s better to face the challenge together with respect and patience it’s never easy when interests clash but finding a shared way forward is what keeps relationships strong in the long run

Soninnall you're pacing at is that there is virtually no need to keep secret of what you love to do as the man from your wife whether she hates the gambling or not, she has to know about it. In that situation everything would go quite well on compromise with understanding spouse. Having a no understanding spouse is where the problem begins that's why as people in relationship you must create that closeness to know what type of person you're going into marriage with because there are those partners that wouldn't compromise on the husband's gambling behaviour when told about it.
