Re: My girlfriend wants me to stop playing!
1) She sounds like a controlling bitch. Tell her that if she really loved you she would accept you for who you are and not sit down and have an intervention about how much poker you play.
2) If you agree to this, you lose forever. First it's poker, then it's hanging out too much with your friends, etc. etc...don't fall into this trap. Make a stand for what you want to do with your free time.
3) The way I handle this with my girlfriend is to make sure she is the most important thing in my life WITHOUT sacrificing my own personal life. This might sound like contradictory advice, but it's not. For example, you can wine and dine her every week and say nice things and make sure you are there for her when she is having a bad day. But you also let her know when you are playing poker and that this is not up for negotiation or argument.
