It's something i have been struggling about! My other half just loves to read and write! How about yours?? Any successful converts story?
 
Mine co-owns two pool halls, so I guess I hit the jackpot. She also plays to boot. BCA Women's Texas State Champ 2012.

Yes you certainly did. Do you get free pool or does she make you pay?

Mine plays on our team and we do Scotch. She does cut me loose whenever I want to go and play which is pretty much every waking moment.
I find that work often gets in the way.

My wife has a couple of her own hobbies. Painting, computer, TV and eating chocolate. I don't mess with her fun and she doesn't mess with mine.
 
I've written a book titled, Right On Cue.

It's a fiction novel, actually, a love story.

I think if your wife read the story, she might have a better idea of what makes a pool player tick.

I took my wife to every pool room I could find. She still found her way home.
 
I used to really want this but over the years, I have become undecided...

I dated a woman for a long time and went to tournaments with her, shot with her and basically couldn't get her out of the pool room. It was great and I thought it was the perfect scenario.

Then, things didn't work out after 4 years and she left, but still kept going to the same tournaments and pool rooms as I. For a while, I got to see her every day with every new guy she was dating. Talk about awesome.. haha

When most relationships end, the people involved go back to their respective lives and don't have much interaction unless they are co-workers or something. This just made it uncomfortable for me to go where I always went.

I am now over her completely, but I have re-thought what I want in a woman.
 
My wife wants nothing to do with the game and I'm good with that. It gives me a chance to go and do my own thing for a few hours a week. I think it is important you have similar interests and dissimilar interests. It makes a healthy relationship.
 
I tried to get mine interested. Did not work out. Yes I would like her to play and enjoy the game.
 
so far-so good

My wife has never played the game. Not once.

She has her own hobbies and I have pool.

We respect and support each others interests,
to the point where I travel with her to her
conventions where she convenes and I find the
local room. Or we travel to tournaments where I
play and she pursues her own interests.

I don't attend her things and she stays out of
the pool room. Her thing or my thing controls
the scheduling. I have been at DCC with her
and not seen her for 5 days because of how
much I play. We are cool with it.

This system has worked for us for 30 years.
Hopefully 30 more.

Thanks for reading.

I met my wife at a pool hall, she was a friend of a friend. She plays on a APA team with me and the first year she started the team won to go to Vegas. So she is hooked!

This ^^^^

:p
 
30 years ago my wife tried golf. It was the funniest disaster you've ever seen. She's wonderful, but she's not cut out for sports.

We have our own hobbies and give each other enough space to pursue them. Works for us.
 
I'm sure my wife would play at least one league night with me, but because of the smoking allowed still here in the bars, she won't go...which I don't blame her.

Once that changes I think she'll be all for it, even if she doesn't really get into it, it will be just one of those little sacrifices. I do it for her on some of her hobby things as well.
 
Yes and No
Yes because maybe she would see why I love the game so much
No because its my one release away from her and my kids..my time!
 
The thing I love most about my wife of nearly 9 years is getting the hell away from her for a little while. :grin:
 
Grady relayed a story told to him by another pro on one Accu-Stats video. I believe it was you should put an orange and a 5 ball on the dresser and as soon as your girl can tell the difference it's time to break up. I chuckled at that, and not to that extent but I have no desire for my girl to take interest in the game.
 
I have had a table at my house for over 10 years and my wife never played with me. I kept asking and finally she agreed. So a couple of months ago, I bought a beginners DVD, watched it with her and now I am helping her learn. The key is that the instructors are on the DVD telling her how... not me.

It seems like whenever I get a moment to practice, she wants to play a game now. I can't say no! I never thought about that!! And she gets frustrated if I run out on her and she doesn't shoot.

Now we play eight ball where she plays normal rules and I must make my balls in order and bank the eight in my last pocket. We are having fun together! :)

But... lucky for me... she will never go to the pool hall because of the smoke and general atmosphere. Otherwise, I might not be able to play who I want and when I want.
 
I vote no....let her believe that Earl is only a ball better then me :) I have no idea how she got such an idea :rolleyes:, but I have no intention of convincing her otherwise by bringing her with :)
 
No. She does her female thing with her female friends, and I do my manly thing with my female friends, errr WAIT! I mean with my manly buddies.

Someone once said "Be careful what you ask for." In my experience they were very smart indeed.
