Just like anything else that takes time away from them, I have a spouse that isn't exactly supportive about my venture into the poker world. Even worse, she works at a hospital and is concerned about the addictive side of it.

It was easier a year ago when we did not live together but now it seems that if I hop on for an hour - and she's home - she gets concerned. I've explained about variance, showed her my positive results (profit so far), tried to get her interested but no dice.

Just wanted to get some feedback on how best to deal with this besides taking my laptop to the local coffee shop with internet access. Any FTR people ever had to deal with this? Obviously the relationship is more important to me than poker but I'd like to keep both as part of my life.
