How to handle your "SO" (IE: wife)...

[Equal]

Hmmm I think there's something wrong with needing to compensate, or arrange for something to occupy the wife's time, just so you can play poker. Doesnt the SO have any hobbies of her own?

What is there to get? So your wife doesnt like it when you play poker. So what? Do you have to justify everything you do to your wife? Who put her in charge? A balanced relationship should involve activities that each person does away from the other, and that probably wont interest the other person. Bad news if one person in the relationship has to defend their actions and interests from judgment from the other side (within reason of course).

Logic, reason, and common sense will not work with a woman.
Kick her ass back into the kitchen.

I won a tourney and bought my wife a new freezer and a new dishwasher. That's usually good for two or three months.

Thanks. Believe it or not, although from the Philippines, my wife grew up in the United States and is not a mail order bride. LOL! I'm white, but have always had a thing for Asian ladies. I can take a joke anyway... BTW: I wound up busting out at 90th place out of 644 after three hours. Didn't make the money, but was close. My wife actually is more concerned that Internet poker is somehow rigged so that others can get the cards, or in some other fashion. She's actually "OK" with me playing at the local Bay-101 casino, which I think I'll take a shot at at! So, I guess we're making some progress. Thanks for the input.

My wife doesn't complain about my poker because I cut her a % of the profits as payment for her watching the kids (even thought they are asleep) and holding down the fort.

Good luck...

Cut her a % [censored] man. I do this as a source of income it all goes to her so she has to like it. (well not all but you know what I mean, I don't have to coax her with % I just give money for bills anyway, as long as I do that she doesn't care)

Your wife is weird. Tell her that the cards aren't rigged.
Although they can see into your living-room through your monitor but you aren't too concerned about that.

I agree with "marry someone smarter."

I don't approve either

Right now, it sounds like "cutting her a %" leaves her with exactly the same amount she has now, 0. If you were winning, then it would be less of an issue. Just make sure you spend some time with her.

I guess I have to just give her the big one to get her to stop complaining or quit. lol [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
