I (17F) have been with my boyfriend (18M) for about a year now. He’s honestly amazing—kind, funny, loyal, and I feel really lucky to be with him. There’s just one big issue that’s been eating away at me for a while.

He makes a living gambling. Like, poker, sports betting, stuff like that. And the thing is—he’s actually good at it. He studies odds, watches games, reads forums, and he’s made decent money so far. He doesn’t live recklessly or blow all his winnings, and he keeps track of everything. But I can’t help but feel uneasy.

I love him, and I want a future with him, but it’s hard to imagine a stable long-term life with someone whose main source of income relies on luck and risk. I don’t want to be controlling or unsupportive, and I do admire how smart and strategic he is, but… I just don’t see how this is sustainable long-term. I’m thinking about things like rent, careers, families. And I’m scared he’s building everything on something that could collapse overnight.

I’ve brought it up a few times—not in an aggressive way, just expressing my worries—but every time it either turns into a fight or he brushes it off, saying I don’t trust him or believe in him. I do trust him, but this just feels different. I don’t know how to get him to hear me without making him feel like I’m attacking him or being unsupportive.

I feel like the bad guy for even thinking this way, especially because I know he’s trying really hard and he’s proud of what he’s doing. But I can’t lie—I’m scared, and I’m starting to question if we even want the same future.

So… AITA for being uncomfortable with the fact that my boyfriend is a professional gambler?
