The odds of you getting a divorce have been revealed by a new study
A new study has ranked the likelihood of you getting a divorce, based on the country you live in.
The research, conducted by online casino finder bestcasinosites.net, analysed 87 countries from around the world and stacked them up based on the amount of divorces within the adult population.
The data found that the country with the highest divorce rate is Russia, with 1 in every 154 marriages ending in divorce.
This is closely followed by Belarus and the United States, with American marriages ending in heartbreak 1 in 189 times.
For British citizens, the stats don’t look quite as bad but our marriages are far from total success.
The UK made it into 18th place on the list, with 1 in every 287 marriages failing.
But for some nations, it seems that most partnerships are long lasting.
