There will always be juicy games waiting for you. However, if you screw this up, there are no more shots with her.

Some might answer that there are tons of girls in the world. Still - I bet this problem will come up with them too.

Generally, anyone that needs to feel good about themselves by calling people losers, are generally guilty of what they accuse people of.

But to get back on topic; Remember in the Godfather when the Don tells asks micheal how his family is? then he states a man that doesn't spend time with his family isn't really a man. Now playing 8 tables is tough, but not as tough as being the godfather i think. Family first dood, and even if you don't consider your girl as "family" your sitll developing bad habits for someone that you eventually might.

Don't be looking for juicy games if you know you don't have the time / (insert other constriction) to play in it.

If you knew you couldn't play, looked at the games, it sounds more like you were looking for an excuse to not spend time with your girlfriend moreso than desiring to play in a particular juicy game. Could be subconscious, could be conscious, and I could be way off because I don't have nearly enough information to state this in an accusing form. Just wanted to bring it up as a mere possibility incase you haven't thought about it.

This would be my answer if this thread were something like "My girlfriend insists on talking on the phone for 3 hours a day in addition to going out 4 times a week two of which she stays over at my apt. even though we're both taking 15 hours of college credit and living in different cities so I never have enough time to myself to play poker even though I've confronted her about this," which is kind of sad IMO.

Instead this sounds like "I have a long distance relationship and can't put poker on hold for one week," which is also sad, but in the other direction.

No kidding.

My advice: Break up. You'll both be happier in the long run. Stay away from any and all intimate relationships until you've finally reached the point where you can think and care about someone other than yourself. Then, make sure you pick a partner/spouse who can do the same.

In the mean time, it sounds like all you're achieving in your relationships is sharing your misery with others.
