My g/f almost certainly thinks i spend too much time playing poker but then I didnt ask her to move in with me and to be brutally honest, it's only the poker which allows me to put up with her.

my g/f is a clinical depressive who used emotional blackmail to move in with me when i wasn't prepared for it. this basically ended my 15-year career in an excellent job as an I.T. consultant that travelled Europe. whether i couldnt do the job because of her neediness or whether i just couldnt be bothered anymore because of pathetic situation i got myself into would be up for psychological debate. what i'm saying is that if i didnt have the outlet of poker i would probably have long been found up some alleyway with a needle in my arm.

hows that for brutal honesty among poker players?

the irony of this is that i actually make a reasonable living out of poker - it pays my bills, and i enjoy it.
