I'm scolded by my girlfriend, that I play a lot)

[madjek]

My wife used to say I played too much. I eventually limited how much I play. I kinda have a schedule so I still play enough to satisfy my desire to play but try to do as much with her as possible when we are both free. Her job is demanding so I try to play while she is doing work. Also helps that I've cashed a few times for decent amounts when we needed money so when we are broke now she'll say you need to play a tournament and win us some money lol. You definitely need to find a balance if you want to make it work.

My wife feels I play too much. I only play 4-5 hrs 3 days a week. I have never deposited any $ to a site.

I was also scolded a long time ago by my wife that I play a lot of poker and was afraid that I could lose a lot of money, but I explained to her that I play poker in free tournaments and participate in free leagues in which you can win money and then play tournaments for money which I win in free tournaments, unless you invest a lot of money in poker then talk and explain what you can play and win for free!

This is a strange topic, but I wonder if I'm the only one?
Just my girlfriend is afraid that I will lose a lot of money)
Haha)
It's just she really scolds me for poker !!!
And I love him and play it!

Your girlfriend is just jealous of you and this is normal) Try to raise your level of play and win some decent tournament. I'm sure this will help in your situation!:fight:

If you really lose money in poker, then your girlfriend is right.
And if you win money in poker, then you definitely need to share money with your girlfriend and I think she will not have any complaints.

 

[freestocks]

how much did she find?

A dollah fitty!!

I expect you are not the only one. Fortunately, I do not have your problem. I do not have a girlfriend and my wife of 48 years loves casinos. She plays slots, I play poker. I also play poker in home games. No problem. I play online, but do not invest online. So, she is good with my gambling habits because I am good with hers.


For sure, I lose less than she does in the long run. Sometimes one or both of us win.
Obviously your girlfriend is worried about your gambling - potential for addiction? Playing online poker and not paying attention to her?


Ask her to dance naked for you and see if that cuts down on your poker. If not, then you probably have a gambling problem.

If you are able to get a new woman to replace her then who cares what she says. If she is someone you want to be with then spend time with her, take her out on a date it will probably be more fruitful at the end of the night lol

Hello everybody. I shield this is a normal situation, the girl is worried about the family's budget and tries to prevent loss of money. Show her that you will responsibly go up to the game and that you will not feverishly let go of money during a down strik

I get scolded for playing poker all the time, especially at night.

Find a new girlfriend.

Can't believe if you are reasonable profitable player, you could loose your mind and become addicted and start just loosing your money. Until your name is Gus Hanson... :biggrin:
Seriously, how can come to these? You must become alcoholic or drug addicted first. Because if you are profitable player, usually you wouldn't like to change it at any costs, right?

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but Ill do my best to explain. Assuming I read your post right. The reason I don't lose my mind, is cause...

1. I never play with money I cant afford to lose.

2. I have a level of understanding of the game, or games. If I were to loose, I know I either played it right, or I made a bad play. If I made a bad play or read, typically I will rebuy, continue to play, take my notes, and try again. If I got it in right, and I lose. Then luck is not on my side and I stop.

Now as for getting addicted. It's funny you brought that up. From the age of 21-till about 25 I lost about 10k lifetime. I couldn't stop, obviously had a problem, and refused to do what it took to get better. Finally I gave it up at 25. Then right around when I turned 30, I decided to try playing again. I was in a better spot in my life, had some extra income coming in, and felt comfortable playing with money I could loose. This time though, I vowed to actually learn the game, get some coaching, train myself to review hands, and actually get better...

Since then as of Jan. of this year. (I, 35 now) I have made back everything I lost during the time I could say I was "addicted".

I hope that help clear up a little confusion for you.

These can be serious problems in a relationship for more reason than just money, regardless if you are losing or winning. When you place it as a priority, how much time is it taking away from real life and how much time are you spending together when not playing poker?

There are people who see poker as a negative connotation, regardless of how you feel or know it's not. If you are in one on those types of relationship, you might be in for more than you bargain for.

Somewhere there will be compromise and will there be enough to satisfy the time at the table.

My wife doesn't like me playing poker too!

My wife used to say I played too much

 

[guicor30]

I went through something similar, that's why I retired from poker for a while.
but come back after a break.

 

[Awrpze]

My ex thought that I was wasting my time playing cards. Thankfully I'm single now and don't have to worry about what my partner may think about poker.

Make her understand your dreams and desires, or the old trusty alternative.

 

[VivicvrMga]

Do you use her money to play?
If I do not think she should not give her opinion and her opinion, her money and her hobby.
It is a matter of respect for her to accept her choices.
if you were using all your money, stop working and fulfill your responsibilities to play she would be right to meddle if it is not and that is the case make it clear that the hobby and the money are yours.

My wife sometimes scolds me too, but in most cases she understands that it’s my hobby and I enjoy playing poker

My wife also does not like me to play, but I'm 7 years doing what I like playing poker.

On the other side!!!

This is to funny to read about. I am female and my husband bitches that I play too much poker. The way I keep him quiet is to give him half my winnings when i come home. LOL
I make sure if I have a very good run we go out to dinner also. Been married 30 years.
