Girlfriend wants me to stop playing pool

Oddly enough it's a crime to just register and reply to an old thread. My appologies. It's good you have cut your days down to three nights week. Unfortunately I cut mine down to one night a week. I played pool and loved it if not more than you. It was my life since high school. But your post troubled me greatly when I read it. I was involved with someone for four years, went out when I wanted to go play pool. I had a twins with her, she left me because of pool and now I'm left paying child support. Don't want the same to happen to you. If I could do it over I would do everything over. I still love her and hardly play pool anymore.

Yeah, I know... you're too good for your SL... you need to move up :wink:

I understand and thank you for your effort to help me. If that happened to you, then I feel bad for you and your would-be family.

It's not a crime to register and reply to an old thread.... it's just that is was very "Troll-ish" and seemed very coincidental.

If you're not a troll, then thank you for your input, regardless of how harsh you were being.

If you're a troll then don't waste our time

I admit I didnt read the whole thread so I might be repeating here...

Do you have room for a home table? That would let you cut down on league and still practice every night. Most likely, your going to have to cut back at some point and time for a relationship now you just gotta figure out if this is the time you start. But if you do cut back, and then its not enough...=bad sign! LOL. Good Luck!

First of all, let's not kid ourselves. A woman will try to change her man's ways, end of story. I say you're lucky you have one that told you up front you needed to change before you moved in or got hitched.

Now the decision is yours. Cut back on pool for the woman you love or move on so you can wear out the rails.

Not if you find the right one. My wife and I do everything together, including pool. If I wanted to go to the pool hall every night she wouldn't stop me, unless money was getting tight at the end of the month, but she'd be right. But yeah, she'd go with me too. I feel sorry for you guys that get stuck with a woman that you can't hang out with all the time. I guess I'm just lucky.

.. so, thursday comes along last night and this is the night of the cash tournament that my 15 yr old son and I usually play in.. (and my girl usually goes and watches). Earlier in the evening she asks if I'm going to it... I say to her... No, because I have apa tri-cups saturday (and I'm trying to compromise and skip a night a pool due to this.. but I didn't say that outloud).. she just says okay.

.... Then later,,,, I'm not home yet, but my girl is at my place hanging out with my son... My son calls me and asks if we are going to the tournament.. I say no.... now HE'S upset with me because he loves playing that tournament.

I get home about 10-mins later and my girl says that my son is upset with me, then asks "Why didn't you go to the tournament?"

You have a 15 yr old and were out 6 nights a week? Granted, one night was with your son, maybe she thought this was wrong?

She sounds like a great girl, you obviously like her. Maybe she just has a problem with how much you spend time with your son?
She is probably looking for a father figure for her 2 year old.
Or she's thinking that "if I move in, I'm just gonna sit home and take care of his son too..."
