As any poker online player can attest, playing poker online can quickly become an obsession-it takes over your brain not only when you’re playing, but even after you’re done, it occupies your attention. Players will go back and analyze big plays that you’ve won or lost, going back and retracing your steps. As anyone with any relationship experience can attest, obsession in any form is not conducive to a healthy relationship. Poker is no exception-I’ve heard the term “online poker widow” for than once from a bitter spouse or girlfriend; it’s easy for a non-player to feel a bit left out when dating a poker enthusiast. It seems odd to those of us who play poker (and if you’re any good at it, chances are you’re obsessed) that anyone can find poker uninteresting, but step in your lady’s shoes for a minute-if you don’t know how strong poker’s appeal is, it’s easy to feel rejected when your significant other spends a significant amount of time playing it. The problem that most spouses have with poker is that it takes away from the hallowed “spending time together”. If your girl is feeling left out, overcome this issue by combining poker with quality time and enjoy the best of both worlds. Here are a few ways to get her involved.
