      Thats good advice. Be honest.

      I'm barreled in, fancy a fvck?

        Not a chance in hell. This is what I do. She knows it and accepts it.

          I never understood why anyone would hide it from their girlfriend. I have always been open about it. I could care less what they think about it, it is me they are into not if I bet or not. I have found the best girl in the world and she knows I bet and it doesn't bother her and why should it? I include her in everything, we go out do things, travel etc etc... gambling on games is a part of my life and my time with her and doing things doesn't suffer.

            flyingillini has it figured out and that's why he is still with his girl.

            The guys who hide it are the ones who find themselves miserable in the long run. From what I gather, they are also the ones in here who also seem to have very little respect for women.

                The storm hasn't hit us yet. The worst will probably reach us tomorrow morning. Bread is sleeping next to me right now. He had a rough weekend. I am too worried about the hurricane to sleep. Hey...I'm a Michigan girl where the worst you get is a tornado or an ice storm. Ya know?

                  Exactly! It has to do with being honest with the person that you're with and not having to choose between a woman and something that you enjoy doing.

                  If the roles were reversed and a woman was hiding something from a man like a shopping addiction (it's real), the guy would be very upset that she was hiding it from him and wondering where all the money went.

                    Your being honest with her might be one of the reasons you are still together.

                              The difference is many of us don't own a business, or have the means to keep our women happy round the clock. So I think that's what causes a riff for many couples as it relates to gambling.

                                Me and my hubby have talked bout this alot. I was always raised with gambling being bad. It was hard to learn how much my husband gambled specially after being married when I knew exactly how much it was. I helped him become a better gambler and more of a money management that he didnt have before he met me. He showed me to have fun doing it as well. We both help each other and when either one of us is down the other is always there to support. It was really hard to accept how much my hubby gambled but communicating and coming to an agreement with him helped both of use. If someone truly loves you they will never stop you from completely leaving something you really enjoy.

                                    I've attracted more women into my life being a downright asshole, than Mr. nice guy. Women are interesting like that, know what I mean?

                                          Yea but you tell a super fine chick you like to sit at home and bet on football games she thinks "what a loser". And your history. I'd change (and have) for the right girl. Well, I'd give up some bad habits. Sure.
