Cut down on the responsibility regarding pool might be an option?
You could change the wording to about anything. For instance, I travel all the time for my job, is it worth ..... Or I play golf, is it worth ....... I watch football all weekend, is it worth ...... Etc etc.
Bottom line, there is always something. Two way street. Sacrifices both ways. You guys can either get along or you can't. :wink:

Just remember. If she has to go with you to the pool hall, you have to go with her to the yogurt classes.
Fair is fair. :smile:

Only you can decide if it's worth it. Maybe some compromising is in order, is there something she enjoys doing that you don't? If so you can go with her to that & she can come with you to pool sometimes. I had a boyfriend I was with for 10 years, he drag races & I play pool; we managed to do our own thing & support each other too. Good luck in whatever you decide 
Suggest a hobby for her. Do yours while she enjoys hers. Also have one you enjoy together. If she is not interested, go play pool while she goes shopping or out with her friends. If she insists that you can not do that, perhaps there is a control issue there.... However, if you live at a pool hall as some people do... she may have a point.
When I was a young man every girlfriend I had was pis*ed at me constantly for playing pool all the time. I missed dates, stayed out longer than I should have, stood them up because I couldn't walk away from some action. I've had girls stomp into the pool hall and scream at me in front of everyone. You name it.
Having lived quite a bit of life since then and realizing what is really important in my life. If I could go back... I'd do it the same way all over again. :wink:

Ask yourself which you love more, her or pool. If it is her or it is very close, you best be working out some compromises. If it is pool, save yourself a lot of grief and tell her it has been nice knowing her. The sooner, the better, it is likely to only get worse or more difficult than better.
Now, if she is knock dead gorgeous, wealthy, intelligent, sweet and can suck the chrome off a 1959 Cadillac bumper .... you may as well choose pool, she's likely going to figure out she can do much better than you before too long anyway. :wink: J/K, how I wish I were young again and had the opportunity to even be in your type of situation. Best of luck in working it out.

LMAO! That is funny! Anyway, to the point, I think it is about being together that is important not so much what you are actually doing. Im on a league and 1/2, my wife comes along and never complains, I dont spend much time at the pool hall, instead I put a table in our basement. I encourage her to play and she does a little, she also never complained when I was racing but Im also on my second wife, you just need to find the right person. If there are things she wants me to do with her I will gladly do it without complaint. It seems to me its not so much about what you do but who you do it with, my advice is if you cant work it out now you are headed down a path that will end very bad. One of my favorite 1 liners was always "my wife said its either her or the racecar, boy, Im really gonna miss her".,
It seems that humans have priorities in life , the first few are instinct ones
eat, sleep, drink, sex , 1st three you can do by yourself , last one you need a partner to do it with or your hand
As you age a little the instinct of wanting children kicks in, at least if not you, your girl's friend clock, so the decision then becomes harder
Work, we all have to work for $$, if you are a pro, and do not win events, then you are broke, your girl friend will dump you
The problem we pool players have is pool does not bring $$ other wise woman will kick us out the door to play,
Naturally, women want their man next to them talking to them, going places together all the time, they do not care, they consider pool as our mistress literally! unlike men, 5 min in bed (ok maybe 1/2 hour for you) and done, out to pool! it ain't gonaa work
Women like to be told when you going and when you coming back, do not like alcoholics or gambles much. If you can give her as schedule and stick to it she will like it, once you break it, you out at the dog house!!
It gets worse with kids, you will be lucky to go out more than few hours.
Remember for the fun of it, as you grow up some body parts do not function well and women will not like you then!!
i've been married for 33 years, my wife has been to watch me playing twice, one of those when she was shopping nearby and wanted lunch. she has never complained about me playing once. she figures if i'm in a room full of people, i won't be rolling around anywhere else.
if she can't handle it, it's time to dump her.

Come on guys, this is a justnum thread.
He doesn't have a girlfriend, and he doesn't play pool.
