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?

I think that this is a tricky situation.

And what I mean by that is that if there's no problem, then there shouldn't be a need to disclose anything...

But if there's a problem, then I think, it would be beneficial for the gambler to disclose this so that the problem is actually dealt with early on....

The longer this problem continues, the longer it is going to affect the lives of everyone involved.
