a girl that you LOVE said that she wants you to quit poker otherwise you can't be together anymore, or even if she didn't asked but if you knew that's the only way you can stay together. what would you do?

Poll: What would you do?
(Vote): QUIT HER
(Vote): QUIT POKER
PS: not saying this happened to me, I'm just curious
other questions:
do you think poker takes a lot from your life?
is/was it worth all the effort to become the poker player you are?
you think poker stole a big part of your youth by sitting in front of a computer all day or at a poker table?
you wish you could do all that money outside the poker world?
probably most people here can't answer all this questions but I'd love to read some from the most experienced players!
thanks

Quit her. If she can stop you from playing poker, trust me that won't be the first thing. If you quit poker, you will be whipped for life guaranteed. |

i can't believe you're even asking this question. if you actually 'love' her, you would do anything in the world for her. that includes quitting some retarded game involving cards and odds.
seriously wtf |

Your questions:
Poker takes a bit out of my life, but a 40hr job making the same pay would take more out of my life.
Yes it's worth it, not working under a boss, you decide how much you want to work.
Yes and no, the money won(I didn't win that much) sure helped a lot, and being a teenager at the time, $1000 can do ALOT.
I wish I could make all this money outside the pokerworld if I had a bit more job security. I can't say poker is secure at the moment, with a lot going on right now with the UIGEA, other countries getting their own sites, etc. |

Depends on her motivation really. There are some very good reasons and some very bad reasons to ask such a thing. 90% of the people would come up with the bad ones. |

Umm, she isn't the right girl for you if she can't accept you for what you are. You aren't doing anything illegal at all whatsoever and if you make a living off of it, then why can't she accept that?
If this comes down to 'moral' issues from the girl (she hates gamblers and believes poker is gambling) then you need to tell her that you understand that she doesn't like gambling and maybe educate her on the finer points of poker where skill is involved.
To Grindasaurus : True love isn't bent-over-backward sacrifice, it's about reasonable compromises that both parties can live with. |

Na man. Poker is a negative thing to do. We gotta at least be able to admit this. Some women don't want to associate themselves with someone who does something negative for a living. It is not really a failing of her. She just demands more of her life. |

hahahahaha this is HILARIOUS
the only reason you would quit poker if she asked you to would be if you agreed with her that poker is bad for you, which im sure you dont.. if you DO THINK that poker is bad for you, you shouldnt quit it BECAUSE SHE ASKS YOU TO, you quit it because you wanted to and this scenario would beg the question why the hell are you even playing it in the first place |

And what does self awareness have to do with anything you retard? srsly stfu. - baal | |

whenever you take someone elses opinion about yourself or something you do at face value, you are consenting/agreeing with that person thus its YOUR responsibility, always |
