Re: Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.
I'm happy you got rid of her. Sounds terribly controlling. It's very difficult to get some("most" probably wouldn't be a stretch here) women to be tolerant of gambling.
Like a few other posters in this thread, my gf was adamantly against it, having watched several of her relatives struggle through severe gambling problems. I made it quite clear that a. it would not impact my ability to pay for bills or fun activities with her b. this was(is) a hobby that I take seriously and will someday transform into a semi-lucrative part-time activity c. if she didn't understand a + b the door is thataway. She's started to come around as I repeated this a few times (the 1k last week from tourney wins didn't hurt, either). Doesn't sound like that would have applied to your situation, and you're probably better off. Enjoy being single.

Re: Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.
Dude, thanks for the story. One thing that does matter though, is whether you are winning or losing, and from your last paragraph, it sounds like you are losing. Anyway, this chick sounds like a douchebag, and it also sounds like she was looking for a reason to leave. You gave her one, and she left. Trust me though man, you will get laid again. It might not be tonight, it may not me tomorrow, but you will get laid again.

Re: Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.
My girlfriends dads a bookie, so she understands...luck of the draw I guess.
Seriously though, the only thing you can do now is prove her wrong. Good luck and keep us updated.

Re: Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.
Explain that you don't have a gambling addiction but enjoy the game of skill that is poker.
If she can't understand or won't accept that argument then you need a new girlfriend. I'm not kidding or being flippant.
