Same here.

I started playing without her first knowing it. I knew she would be freaked out because the year before I had a little gambling problem where I lost about 15 grand on the slots. Then, there was this discussion on 2+2 about four months ago about whether to step up and tell the truth and fight for your right to Party, which helped me a lot. She freaked out first but I kept explaining and explaining. Now she is fine with me playing casual poker and winning $ 600 each month. I keep most of the winnings for my bankroll but also did the "holiday pocket money from poker winnings" thing. That helped quite a lot. Even my mother-in-law said to her that me playing poker is fine as long as I am winning. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
