boyfriend addicted to poker?
Posted by admin
Seriuosly, this is getting crazy. My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 months and every weekend for the last month or so he has been at the poker hall. I don’t know what to do, I know he loves to play and it’s cool with me if he goes and plays a couple tournaments on the weekends, but he will go and spend the WHOLE weekend there. I thought the weekends were supposed to be for couples to hang out and stuff. But, all he wants to do is play poker. I want to just sit and watch a movie or something, just be together. I got mad today (I have told him how I feel in the past) and he told me he didn’t care if I got mad, and just left the house. I don’t know what to do, I love him and our relationship is really good otherwise, I just don’t like feeling second to poker. Is this normal or am I just overreacting?

Your boyfriend has a gambling problem.He should go to a group called gambling annanoymous and also get counciling. If does not admit to this gambling problem.It will only get worse and worse before he gets better.

With men, trust me you have to oh so painfully clearly tell them exactly what you want. Women usually don’t like to do that but it works, it works, it works. Be anything less than moronically clear by female standards and your words will just fly away, never having landed on your boyfriend’s eardrums.
First put a lot of thought into this and figure out what exactly you want from him. Have it thought out to the last detail such as how many weekend hours you think he should reserve for things other than poker. Details, details, details. The more detailed your ideas are on what you want, the easier it will be for him to give you what you want. It can be that simple, believe it today.
Now, you will be ready to talk to him about this. Pick a good time to talk to him and maybe even give him a heads up beforehand that you are feeling very unhappy and need to talk about the relationship.
Men will just do what they want until they have a clear idea of what women want.
Good luck and hope you get some more boyfriend time out of this!
