Default Re: Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.

This is something you want to do. You're able to do it in a healthy manner, but it's a real bad sign if you can't share that with your significant other

Guy gets secretive, because he expects girlfriend to overreact. Girl discovers guy was being secretive and overreacts.

Sounds like you two were not meant to be. Try to find someone you can be comfortably honest with.

Damn it Bison, I'm the psychologist here. You are, of course, right. One of Milo's Laws goes something like, "If you need to hide what you are doing from your partner, you probably shouldn't be doing it."

In this case, it may point more to a problem with the relationship than with the poker. One major concern is that you reference not being able to afford to play poker. This suggests you are a -EV player. Another of Milo's Laws is "Never make a -EV bet." If you are losing money at poker, you need to figure out why, or quit.
