This thread has some really good advice. Its too bad nobody is listening. Also, to everyone who is saying to TT "you don't understand until you're married", you're basically saying "my wife isn't very smart and we don't communicate well with each other". If you can't have an intelligent conversation about poker with your wife, and make her understand very basic things like bankroll, you probably have a lot bigger problems than all the guilt she makes you carry for playing poker.

If you are a rocket scientist, and your wife doesn't understand aeronautical engineering, you don't automatically have a problem in your relationship.

Obviously if a pro poker player marries someone who has issues with poker, it's gonna be rough. However, I play poker recreationally. Married 16 years, playing poker 5 months.
Poker is to my wife what menstrual cycles are to me. I suspect this is the case for many.......doesn't stop me wanting to improve, nor does it impugn my wife's considerable intelligence.

That said, my wife's distaste for poker does not justify -ev decisions. It just limits my game time [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
