it depends on the day , when you are about to play maybe you love the game but there are days when nothing hits and you start cursing the game in an insane way lol

You must be playing for the wrong reasons, losing is the nature of poker, even the most successful poker players in the world, have a lot more losses than wins, don't let that influence you, always play the best you can and try to get better every day. , is the only thing you can do.

I'm hopelessly in love with poker, and only wish that it didn't expect me to always pay for everything. :(

We spend a lot of time and attention on poker it's love. Another question is do we love to lose and how does it feel to lose???

Its like a normal relationship. There are highs but also some lows. But you knew what you must give and what you get. Shortly it could be a rollercoaster. For example in the important freeroll in the month the 1.000 dollar cc. I had a good stack and loss the main stack with a9 against a7. Then i fight back and in the itm. Important win. Maybe i reach the final table, it would be great love for this evening.

my relationship is very complicated, it varies a lot when i gain pure love, when i lose total hate.
Hi.
I understand you very well. I have a very similar situation. My girlfriend hates poker and sometimes it's hard for me to find a compromise, but somehow we find it :)
You just need to be able to negotiate :)
Good luck.

It depends largely. Today especially is hate as I lost 3 sit and go's in a row by 6 players on the river. The players at the table looked like they were playing bingo, calling with nothing in their hands and getting lucky on the river.

My attitude to poker can probably be described with the words need, necessity.

I love to play poker- but I hate it lately. Way too many bad beats over winning. The odds should even out a bit.. and I hate that the odds are still going against me.. how long can you run bad?? Seriously!?

There is a saying that hate is born from love, I think that sometimes I love it and other times I hate it hahaha

No matter your relationship with poker, your relationship with yourself matters, the better you feel and are happy with yourself and with what you do, the easier it will be to learn to play, make decisions and not blame yourself for the mistakes you may make at the tables.

Poker is a very casual girlfriend. She wants a very open relationship and I'm cool with that. I tend to disappear and ignore her from time to time. She doesn't care and will be there for me when I return.
Sounds great? It usually is but once in a while she brings out a big strap-on.
