    Gambling has ruined my relationship!
    He use to love doing things for me, now it's like "can you wait for another hour?" or something like "I have alot of money on this game, and I don't wanna miss it"

    We're not a couple, we're exes and bestfriends.

    Yes, gambling did do us aparted, I didn't care how much he won or lost, all I cared about is spending time with him...


    Any ladies at SBR that has husband/boyfriends that can give me any advice on how to deal with it?

      You have all the power in the world and you're not using it. Lay down the law:

      If you don't turn off the TV and spend time with me, no sex for a week.

        Just wait until the day after the all-star break. There's no games then, he'll be sure to take you out.

              i can assure you that every guy here that gambles that has a girlfriend, or wife.. goes through this on a regular basis..

              who wants to spend time with a woman when you have a big massive bet going on and it's the 2 min warning in football and you are down 4 and your team is drving and you need a TD.. then the woman calls you in the room to watch a movie with her that second..

              YEAH RIGHT.. like we're really going to go now and leave this game with 2 min to go and we are about to win or lose big money. they MUST wait.. and women hate this and that is why gamblers and women DO NOT MIX..

                  Holly, I personally saw first hand you asking Dante to pick you up and take you somewhere, and he was too busy glued to the TV checking scores, that's what gambling does. It's better off you two cooled it off because it'd be more heartache just like that, we need to stage an intervention and help Dante get his life back on track.

                    And you joined a gambler's hornets nest to complain? Listen lady, take your bitching comments and run away. We are compulsive gamblers and we ain't changing for some whiny pussy. If you don't like us hit the road. Gambling is more important than relationships. Got it?

                            i assure you if jessica alba was really his GF, then he would leave his game to spend quality time with her, and perhaps even quit gambling for her. if jessica alba was the GF of any poster at sbr, and she asked you to quit gambling for her, i assure you 100% of us would quit for life..

                                                  fiver,

                                                  there is just absolutely zero chance that if you live with your wife or GF and you gamble every night, that you don't go through this all the time.. it's just impossible.. every gambler goes through this.. that's why you should check out the divorce rates amongst gamblers. it's the highest by far. .. when a man gambles, it really ruins a womans life completely.. she's like a prisoner.

                                                      Man, what's wrong with you? I'm biased because I don't believe in relationships, but seriously, just leave if things aren't working out. Do you honestly think he's the only one out of thousands of people that can make you happy? Do you not meet new people? If you meet new people on a consistent basis, you won't mind leaving him as much. Guaranteed.

                                                              Holly,

                                                              The ONLY way to win him back your way is to give him a reason to not make the next bet....which is to give him the best sex from any woman he's ever had so his mind is diverted from gambling to you....

My girl took a long time to come around, as well as I changed alot to keep my gambling and to keep her at the same time. Communication is the biggest key to keeping the best of both worlds. If you both really want to make it work you both will sacrifice and give up a little to both have what you want in the long run gl

OR how about when she wants to go to bed with you, but the late game is still on and you want to watch it, so she has to go to bed alone. Or how about when you are getting killed one night and losing your shirt, and then she wants to go out after, no way you are going cause you are too depressed to leave house and you are thinking of how you will win this money back tmorrow.

                                                                      dante, my last 5 GF's have all dumped me on acct of this.. they all hate me now and still tell me how much i ruined their life and how much happier they are now with their new man.. women hate me dante, on acct of gambling.
