Default Re: How to tell girlfriend about amount of money spent playing poker

You're an idiot for lying to her for so long. The best thing to do, as others have already said, is to be open about it. Starting the conversation with "Honey, I've been misleading you for years about how much I gamble with, but you should know before we move in" is problematic, but it would be completely unnecessary if you hadn't lied for so long anyway. And if you wait until the stakes are higher (you've moved in together, you're engaged, etc) it's only a recipe for a bigger disaster.

Good luck, dummy.
