You expressed yourself well.
I did smile about "get in the zone and beat these machines..."
I was always chasing my first big loss of 18 years ago. Lost heaps by betting big, betting small, early morning, midday, evening, collecting out after small wins or leaving in to accumulate blah blah..
Tried to find a winning edge.
Even if I did win I kept playing until it was gone. Maybe I was addicted to losing so I could get angry and try to quit AGAIN!
Your partner is doing the best thing to control finances. Saves temptation. No matter how noble your intentions are this cruel addiction can take hold anytime.
GA believe once a gambler has crossed the line into irresponsible gambling they can be controlled but never cured. I believe this.
All the best to you on your 'gamble-free' quest.
Enjoy your beers - far more enjoyable and social.
