Someone you are dating is complaining about how you spend your time when you aren't with her eh. Just ask her what she wants you to do, the do it. Don't worry, it will get easier with time, afore you know it you will have completely forgotten why you thought you should have an opinion about anything anyway.
R.I.P. :)

Sometimes it's not about logic. It's about emotions. Worry is fear, but concern is caring.
If she's communicating concern, don't try to be right. Accept that she cares and you are communicating.

She just doesn't understand. I think she still has the mindset that poker is just like any casino game (where you can never win)...

I tell you what i got lucky my qife yells at me when i dont play poker and be lazy hahahaha. All i had to show her was the possibilities of money and of course had to win a few to show i was an alright player lol. It can be difficult because gambling is frowned upon by lot of people who dont realize poker is more skill than luck.

Careful...

"Her main concern is that I play every night mon-fri"

While I might agree that you probably play a bit too much, her statement is just the first step down a slipperly slope, my friend. Forget about the money because it isn't about the money it's about the time and your choice of how you choose to use yours. I'd stand my ground personally. Sometimes there are principalities involved man! Just my humble opinion.

Good luck grindin it out while it lasts! (pun intended)

All the best of luck in the relationship. It seems to me to any reasonable person you did an amazing job of explaining how things work to someone who is not familliar. (Congrats on your winnings BTW). Maybe the issue is more personal with the amount of time you spend maybe she will feel that time spending is not enough. While this is none of my business all I can recommend is spending quality time with her on the weekend to make her forget all about that poker.

Also spending a LITTLE bit of your BR (hahahah) on something special may incept her mind with POKER IS OKAY! ..... as long as you keep the winnings coming hahahaha JKJK
