boyfriend loves to go to the casino twice a week to play poker. I have expressed my concerns to him but he says he is playing against other people and not the casino so it really isnt gambling.. is this true? He claims this is what he does for fun and he makes good money doing it for years at a time.. should I be worried? and should I marry a man who goes to the casino that often?

Heck no. Time and time again I've seen people on tv in financial ruin because of gambling problems. Normal people would probably visit the casino once a year not 2x per week.

lets think about this?
If you were in love with your BF then his gambling would not be an issue. any questions like this are not a good sign for a lasting relationship. Think down the line when you bring home a paycheck and a week later its gone thanks to your hubby? No thats NOT okay and if i were you i would break it off with ur BF right now. As much as that sucks if he is going every week think about how much time is spent away from you. I know how you feel and this guy will be better off with someone who does not care about living with a roof over their heads. And from the looks of things your BF is getting himself into trouble- with people and with the bank!
Get Out Now Sister!

If it was me, I wouldn't marry him. He's addicted, and sooner or later, the house *ALWAYS* wins. If he has anything to prove to you that he's winning, he should show it. If he won't show it, then he's hiding something from you. That's no way to start a married life.
And whatever you do, don't have a baby with this guy. Even if you don't marry him, you'll have him in your life forever. So either cross your legs, or take care of your own birth control.

If I were you, I wouldn't!
Your guts instincts are telling not to; Your head is telling you not to!
Why get yourself in a situation you know is going to be a trap you're going to find very difficult to get out?
A gambling addiction, is a tough one!
Any addiction is;
What's more, when money is involved, it can get really ugly and painful.
Use your head, your heart will thank you later!
Good luck.

It sounds like he's got an addiction. I would stay away from marrying a man who seems more involved with gambling than his own wife.

No, it's gambling, and he'll take you down with him. FLUSH him.
If he "makes good money" then he won't mind showing you his profit and loss statements. He also won't have a "real" job, and will be completely self supporting from his gambling, with no consumer debt.
See? Busted. RUN.

Yes you should be concerned. Hopefully it is not bordering on addiction, but I would be leery about marrying someone that has gambling issues.
