Would you prefer to have your man out in the street somewhere?
He's at home playing poker. You know where he is. Stop this selfish non sense and give him his one night .
If you keep this up he'll be out of the house playing poke her!

I don't see the harm in your husband wanting to play poker with friends in his home. I myself have my own table and i play a lot at my place with friends and family almost everyday. It sounds to me that he may be spending to much time playing and not enough time with you. But you make it sound like poker is dangerous to your children, but it is a fun game to play and people have to find some way to relax and have fun. You have things that you like to do for fun that your husband may not like but I'm sure he puts up with it, and if poker makes him happy then there should be no issue unless he is spending all your money on it. Just so you know i have 2 children who are 8-10 years old and a girlfriend who supports what i do because it makes me happy, and things that make me happy gives her joy as well, plus she goes to the mall and has lunch with her friends all the time and although i sometimes think she hangs out to much with friends i know it makes her happy as we'll so it is give and take, you only have one life so make it a good one.

My husband used to play poker with his friends. They took turns hosting the games at each other's houses. We have two sons. Do you prefer him to not play at all or is it just that you don't want it being done in your home? I found that I was able to relax more when it was done in our home. I wasn't waiting up, worrying about whether or not he was okay. I then used the opportunity as a sort of tit for tat. I used the same amount of money he used as a buy-in to go out and hang out with the girls once a month. It allowed me to have some time with women I had friendships with and it gave us something to do other than staring at each other doing the same things we always did. It broke the monotony. Good luck.

You are being foolish... whats wrong with having friends over (to your house) and playing a game? would you rather he be sitting in some bar someplace?? As for your family? don't you think this is healthy seeing dad having fun and enjoying friends? Enjoy life and allow others to do the same. Family life is very important but theres more to family life then just sitting in the living room and watching TV and hiding from the rest of the world. Thats anti-social life. Be happy that he wants to stay home and enjoy his family AND friends.

Be lucky that his poker games are in-house. He could be out cheating on you. Everyone needs to have their own interests. Don't you?

Talk to him about it...ask him to locate another place for it...or ask them to keep it down (noise) and don't allow the children down there on poker night.
