Love(relationship) or Gambling - What would you choose ?

[tehsik]

i think it depends on your background and religion vision ... i have noticed in the past that many people who goes to church will hate this kind of jobs, businesses and so on ... lol

My wife and I both work on our sites and we love what we do. With that said, love is always first. I work so that I can give to those I love, putting that above gambling and/or promoting it. Easy answer for me!

As of today, i'd chose "online marketing" to love.
How the hell are you going to live with someone who hates you for your job... Does not make sense for me, whatever you do for a living, if you enjoy it, should not be changed for anyone. Unless it's really illegal

If she can't accept your job, then she'll likely have problems with a lot
of choices that you make in life, so better that you just moved on.

Well, I don't like it if people force me to make a choice where there actually isn't any need of making a choice. So in that case a girlfriend will lose it. If she cannot appreciate the ways I try to earn a living, she'd better look somewhere else.

This choice I'll make with more "Me or your ..........." forced dillemas. The answer will be almost always 'you'. There are more girls than online casino's so nobody has to worry.

If questions are reasonable, I'll think about it, but "me or your gambling things" is not a reasonable question to me.

If she felt I needed to switch a career, I would do it.

No. Just no.

[Triple7]

No. Just no.

I could not agree more. I won't led my life the way she feels I need to. I'm old and wise enough to make up my own bills.

Yep, exactly the same here. It's taken me you don't even know how many years to get to where I am today, if some girl came along and said, 'hey you know what, I don't like this gambling stuff, I think you should stop" I would just laugh and show her where the door is.

It's a very immature thing to believe that you can come into someone's life and change that person and make choices for them. I believe in freedom and trust, we all have choices and we all can make our own decisions.

The sort of people who would try and tell you what job to do, are probably the same sort who decide they don't like certain friends you have, or your parents or speaking to any members of the opposite sex. Before you know it you're trying to justify where you're going, who with, when and why. Nope. That aint no life for me.

Exactly. If she really is having some moral problems with gambling, she should not even date with a guy working in the gambling industry. In any other case she should at least respect the way you're earning your living. I would do exactly the sameas you would do. If she would force me to make a choice, be sure that no bookmaker would give any odd for the result "She leaving the building".

I think people should look for a partner that suits in their bigger picture. Not for a partner with the idea to change him or her completely. If a girl is doing things that I really couldn't stand, I won't even date her. But that would be things like using drugs or having an extra job as a prostitute or some extreme things like that. If she plays f.e. tennis 4 times a week (i really don't like tennis), i won't make any problem of it. It's important that both parts of the relationships are having their hobby's and things they do like.

I believe in Slippery Slope. It starts with the first dilemma's and where does it ends. Like you say, in the end she probably will control your life almost 100% deciding which friends are good for you and which one not, planning your free time, etc.

I'll pass for that in quite a early stage -> after the first "Me or..." she's out.
