He should ban something that wife likes and he doesnt. For example dont let her shopping ;) Just 'hating something' isnt good reason to forbid your spouse doing it. My husband played poker and I started too. Actually its fun, because when we play together real game with friends, I can perfectly read him. Maybe try to teach wife playing? Or strip poker, just for two? ;)

I don't know. Does your friend lose a shit load of money and that's why she has a problem with it? If not then she needs to pipe down and eat that steak dinner that poker just paid for.

HAHAHAHAHA

This may be the best response to anything EVER.

Chief is right, though. If he isn't burning living money or family time then wife shouldn't have too much of a problem w/it.

Need to change my wife))). Of course I'm joking. I think that if the wife’s choice was conscious, then she should understand your hobbies. And everyone should explain their position, listen to everyone’s arguments and come to a single conclusion. Or be condescending hobbies of each other.

Leave her lol Im jocking of course. it is normal to have different hobbies or different tastes. It is also healthy that everyone has their own space where you can be distracted and at ease

my wife also hates me when I start playing poker because I spend a lot of time for playing and less time for her, but she is very happy when I win somewhere in a tournament or cash games and give gifts to her or give she needs the amount of money so that she herself buys something, maybe your friend can tell everything to his wife and maybe she will understand him and will support him in the game and it will be nice for him!

Meet halfway..

I would confess my poker playing way to her, ask what facet of poker irritates her.
Ask, don't demand, if you can play a limited amount of poker, that gives her some input, control; she is as important as ;poker.
You are asking her for input, looking for a solution, a third way.
Try not to make it binary: in or out, 0 or 1, etc.
Be open to suggestions, in poker terms, give her a lot of outs,possibilities

I am not ever going to have a wife, but if someone told me I can't play poker, I will point to the door and say "you know where the door is!" and "don't let it hit your arse on the way out!"

Honestly though, if someone did tell me I can't play poker, they wouldn't mean they are not allowing me to play, they would mean, I can't play because I suck at it :D

It is necessary to properly present everything to her in this case. If she has such a reaction, then he doesn’t pay attention to her correctly, because the girl must be understood, but this applies more to psychology and logic))))

Wife

Take care of the wife first. Make her a priority and give her all the loving she deserves. Once you have her satisfied ask her if she minds you playing poker. If she still doesn't go for it, consider teaching her the game. Start of by playing strip poker and let her win. It's a win win. Good luck!

He would try to agree and find a way to do it without disturbing either of them.

Choose a day or two of the week and at certain times.

Choose which live tournaments you can play and which does not take so many days.

Well ... at the moment I don't have that problem since I'm not married ... but if I decide to marry or live with someone the first thing I will do is tell her about my poker game ...!

I try win freerolls and show her that it could be profitable and I don’t need to spend our money. It’s like I never use our money playing poker so I can play how much as I want cause all the money I won from poker I spend back on it .
