Girlfriend says I have major gambling problem and need help.

Sorry to hear your house payment went up so much. These things happen. In the long run, having her walk out is probably +EV.

Short term looks bad, but really, long term you are better off. Life is too short to take that kind of abuse and control from anybody.

Damn that chick sounds like a huge bitch.

Good thing you figured that out sooner than later.

Why did you have to refinance because she moved out? was the loan only in her name?

no doubt, good thing she's gone, you'll be better for it. Find a nice chick who likes poker, they are out there. Any complaints about poker can usually be solved by unnecessary gifts bought with poker money.

I finally came to the conclusion that if I could not do the things in life that I enjoyed what is the point in even living. In order to remove her name from the mortgage I had to refinance. Another scam by the banks to rake more needless my from us.

I bet if she was posting her side of the story the responses would be different. Is it possible you are focusing your energy on the way she acted and not truly focusing on whether you have a real problem? I'm not saying you're wrong or she's right: I'm just saying that maybe you both could be partially correct.

Lol, a gambling problem with online poker is laughable. Mainly because I don't have one. Seriously though, don't degenerate gamblers usually favor slots or video poker? I would think real poker doesn't provide enough chances to "hit the big one".

Did your girlfriend look like this?


She is just hypersensitive because of the line of work she is in. She is projecting the issues she sees every day onto you. In the long run, you will be much better off without her.

I have 2 friends who have serious gambling problems with online poker. One has lost every cent he has and just sold his car to go to go play 6-12 at Canterbury. I think the poster is fine, and I'm not saying he has a problem. I'm just saying that it happens, and it's possible. She stepped across the line when she tried to overule a professional. There's no question about it.
