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?
Although this is not directly related to relationships, gambling is also one of the factors that can cause a person's relationship to fail with their partner, but this only applies to addicts or irresponsible gamblers, because they usually lie to their partners when they want to gamble, so that's where the beginning of disputes with their partners arises, which becomes increasingly complicated, especially if one day the gambler uses savings funds that are saved with their partner to gamble, then it is very likely that their relationship will end badly if the funds are no longer left for their living expenses.
