Dear David and Roz,
"The man I've been going with for several years now can be a lot of fun- but many times I simply can't stand some of his habits, things he says and does, his attitudes. My girlfriend says I'm lucky to have found anybody at all {I'm 60, he’s 66} and I should stop complaining. I tell myself nobody’s perfect but it still rankles me. What do you think?"
- Rosie O'grady
ROZ SAYS:
Dear Rosie,
I think you should stop complaining. If you've been together for some years there must be something holding the two of you together so maybe you should overlook whatever it is that annoys you and think of the good times! Life isn’t always a bowl of cherries - some time it’s the pits! But aren't the cherries sweet even with the pits? Hang in there. Think positively!

DAVID SAYS:
Dear Rosie,
Rosie where have you been? How in the world did you get this far with all these annoyances this man has created for you? They seem petty to me when weighed against his virtues, he is fun. Laughter and a smile can not be bought, they enrich those who receive them, it takes a moment, but the memory of them sometimes lasts a lifetime, they are nature’s best antidote for trouble yet they can not be begged, borrowed or stolen. I would count your blessings because if your man wrote to me asking about your nagging nature I would tell him to look elsewhere where you may be truly appreciated as a reliable source of fun, smiles and laughter which are such valuable gifts to the appreciative.

Dear David and Roz,
"I like to play cards - and now with the poker craze there's a lot of opportunity for tournament style games. Its fun for me, and so I will gamble a bit, like $10 here or there. Sometime I even get a pot! The woman in my life turns up her nose at this, she doesn't like gambling, says I’m throwing my money away. I say it’s my money, I worked for it and I enjoy this little pastime. I like her, but this attitude of hers bothers me. Do you think there's a future here? Or are we kidding ourselves?"
- Stevo
ROZ SAYS:
Dear Stevo,
I happen to have fun playing a little poker myself now and then. I’m not very good at it but I can understand your getting a kick out of it. As for the lady I think it comes down to her being understanding here as a good partner should be and recognize its a little harmless fun for you since you're not going overboard and mortgaging the house! I don't think you'll win her over to your side because I believe one either gets it or they don't and she obviously doesn’t. But she needs to accommodate these little games as long as it’s not out of hand as the price she pays for a loving relationship. Take her out to a fancy dinner, and tell her how you feel about it. If she's solid gold she'll kick in and your problems will be over. Good luck.

DAVID SAYS:
Dear Stevo,
Obviously the “woman of your life” does not understand the pure thrill of accomplishment and the skills that are required when the chips are down. Just as in business, the risk, the strategies you employ and the monetary payoff are the validation of your accomplishment. As long as you define your monetary limitations and it fits within your budget allocation for entertainment I believe your woman is a bit out of line unless your $10 bets are negatively impacting the quality of your life and your relationship. Perhaps the woman in your life should not be so opinionated and you should relish your time away from her doing the things you like to do. I would encourage her to activate her interests and concentrate on them and not yours or she will soon be playing Old Maids. After each shuffle the dealer always offers you the opportunity to...cut? It’s your choice.
