Its pretty funny/annoying because I will go into my office and shut the door and let her know I can't be disturbed for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon or a weeknight where we don't have plans etc.
So last weekend she interupts my session for like the 3rd time in a row and I say
"I can't concentrate and make plans with you at the same time"
her: "you care more about poker blah blah" being dramatic
me: "look its hard work and I need to concentrate and when I don't concentrate, it costs me a lot of money"
her: "well fine whatever, but don't call it work. Its not work." (tilt)
She sits there, watches me ship a small pot
her: "fine, you're buying me new boots with that pot you just won". (lol)
lol, this is/was my wife.
when i first started playing, i put 100 on stars, and my wife asked me if i was going to lose the mortgage money.
she'd have a hissy every time i wanted to go and play in AC. the first time i came home a winner (@200) i gave it to her. now she asks me when i'm going again, but now i get to keep my winnings.
but forget playing during the day- wimminz like their attention, and usually deserve it.
