How to Encourage Your Husband to Spend Fridays with You Instead of at Poker
Is your husband’s weekly poker game cutting into your time together? Here’s how I persuaded my husband to spend Fridays with me instead.
For years, my husband would head out every Friday night to play poker with his friends. While he insisted it was his only chance to catch up with them, I longed for more quality time together.
Attempting to Compromise
At first, I tried enticing him to stay home with promises of romantic evenings. This worked a few times, but eventually, he realized my intentions. I also proposed alternative activities, like action movies and car shows, but suitable events weren’t always available.
A New Strategy
After six months, nearly ready to admit defeat, I decided on a bold new strategy: learning poker myself. My plan was to challenge him to a game. If I won, he’d give up his Friday night poker; if he won, I'd pay for his trip to Las Vegas.
I invested time in learning Texas Holdem through online resources and practicing on video poker sites. I even visited local casinos to gain experience.
The Big Challenge
Once confident in my skills, I brought up the topic again, sparking the usual argument. I proposed joining him at his poker outing, expecting a refusal. When he suggested we make a friendly bet, I knew I had my opportunity.
I wagered that if he won, I'd fund a solo trip for him to Las Vegas. But if I won, he'd step away from his regular poker nights.
The Outcome
We played with $100 in chips each, agreeing that the first person out would lose. In the end, I didn’t win. However, my husband was so impressed with my poker skills that he willingly stopped attending his Friday night games. Now, we spend Friday nights playing at the casino together.
Building a Stronger Connection
Sometimes, the best way to bridge the gap is to show interest in your partner’s hobbies. Our shared poker nights have strengthened our relationship, proving that compromise can lead to unexpected rewards.
