Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.

I think you went out about it the wrong way. Most people don't understand poker. They see it as just any other type of gambling. You need to make her understand that poker is different from Blackjack, craps, etc. She was obviously very upset and you needed to do damage control. I have the same problem with my girlfriend (Although not as bad). I tell her that I play small stakes and not that often, and that I am a winner.

Maybe you weren't getting along and poker was the last straw, but it kinda sucks to think that poker was the only reason that your relationship ended.
