I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 1/2 years now and he has lived with me for all but one month of that. I have always kept a job and provided for the two of us. He held a job for close to a year but was let go. I fell into the oil and gas industry which boosted our income and with that position we have had to move quite a bit. After our first move he had no time to get a job and he told me that he was going to keep the house in order for me. My Project was terminated after only only a month and at this point we had been together for almost 2 years. We were walking through the mall just after I had been let go and we had always entertained the idea of getting married. He took me to a store and let me pick out "THE RING". He even got my size and applied for a credit card receiving one instantly. That was back in February of this year. We moved again and I started a job in my current location, he got one also but only worked for about a month or so before he decided he didn't want to do it anymore. I never told him that I was against it when he told me that he wanted to make a living at poker, or at least try it to see if he could do it. It has always been this dream of his and I am not one to tell him he can't do something. He has been playing 1-2 NL since then and has been bringing in quite a bit. I have not seen any of that money to help with bills and he does nothing around the house. I work 6 days a week and sometimes 7, clean, cook, and keep our finances in order. I could ask him to do a simple thing like take out the trash, not once, not twice, but three times over multiple days and I end up doing it on my own. Soooo I guess my question is what should I do? I am ready to start a life with him, and eventually a family. He makes no effort to do the same but man he talks it up like it's going to happen tomorrow. I have been badgered by my family about us getting married and making it official, plus my employer tends to hire on husbands and wives of current employees. If that happened we would be bringing in a quarter of a mil every year or even more. I need a guys opinion on why he will not take the leap already. Is there something that I should be doing differently?? All advice is appreciated.

You need to give him part of your salary to boost his bankroll so he can play bigger than 1-2. Prove to him you have confidence in his game and believe he is a winning player

Here's the simple truth for you.
You want to change him and most guys don't want to be changed. If you force him to change, he will resent you and it will never work. I don't know why women think that they can change men to fit their ideal.
You either need to get out now or accept that he is who he is. And whatever that decision is, you need to stick with it. Because if you leave and then come back to him when he makes cosmetic changes, in a year or 2 you will be back in the same spot. -

I offered to back him in 2-5 and he said that he wants to stay on the 1-2 grind. I learned how to play and read books so that I can better understand his perspective on certain hands while he tells me about them. His birthday is in a month and even though I will be between projects I am fronting the money for play and sending him to Vegas.

I have seen him counting it at the end of every session when he gets home, but I stated before that I have never seen any of that money to help me pay bills. I just want him to pay his own credit card bill sometimes you know?

3- upon reading the one line I feel as tho this post is questioning as to if you should let him put it in your third eye. that answer is yes. -

Thank you for your feedback so far, or at least those of you who are not ranting about pics and what not. I need real advice though, I love him but I need a way to tell him to get a job and stop sitting around smoking weed all day. Just saying. What else should I change about myself?

he sounds like a bit of a dick if he's making all this money and making you pay all of his bills lol. are you sure he's not a secret degenerate and blowing all of his money behind your back? -
