How to Encourage Your Husband to Cancel His Weekly Poker Game
Summary:
Here's how I persuaded my husband to stop his weekly poker nights and spend Fridays with me instead.
---
For years, my husband’s weekly Friday poker nights with his friends were a point of contention. Whenever I expressed a desire to spend those evenings together, he insisted it was his only chance to unwind with his pals.
Determined to share our Fridays, I tried several approaches. Initially, I tempted him with the promise of an intimate evening at home. While this worked a few times, he soon caught on.
Next, I attempted to entice him with events he might enjoy, like action movies or car shows. Unfortunately, such opportunities were not consistently available, leaving me back at square one.
After six months of failed attempts, I was close to giving up. Then, an idea struck me: why not challenge him to a game? If I won, he'd give up poker nights; if he won, I'd fund a trip to Las Vegas for him.
I dedicated my spare time to mastering Texas Hold’em, reading guides and practicing online. Occasionally, I even played at local casinos. With growing confidence, I proposed the challenge.
When I suggested he stop his poker nights, it predictably led to an argument. I seized the moment, requesting to observe his game. He declined, citing "players only" as a rule and doubting my poker skills.
Challenging his assumption, I engaged him with a bet: if he won, I'd fund his Vegas trip. If I won, he'd forfeit his regular game. Intrigued, and perhaps a bit suspicious of my confidence, he accepted.
We played with $100 in chips each, agreeing that the first to lose would concede. In the end, I lost, but he was so impressed by my skills that he quit his Friday poker gatherings. Now, we both enjoy playing together at the casino every Friday, and our relationship has never been stronger.
Sometimes, embracing your partner's hobbies is the key to deeper connection.
