Well, I'm sure this has happened to a lot of you. I was mildy given the choice of:
A) spending more time with the girlfriend or....
b) Playing pool.

Now, knowing that I was a Pool hall Junkie right from the start and that If anything, I was planning on spending more time playing pool she shouldn't have been suprised when I chose to play pool given the ultimatum.

Oh well, as they say plenty of fish in the sea.:D

I truly believe in this...good one Jimmy!

I've lost a few boyfriends over pool (when I was playing)....it hurt but I didn't lull over it much because they should KNOW how much it means to me. Also, THEY should be your #1 supporters not your #1 headache.

Another 2 cents,

I gave up pool to stay home and raise my kids while Alex is out there playing tournaments. IT WAS AND STILL IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO DO. But BELIEVE ME - if he wasn't winning anything and not bring home the cheese, HE would be stuck with the kids and I would still be playing!! You can't fault someone for being away so much, when he's doing what he does best, and WINS! Or at least makes a good amount...lol!
 
My last serious girlfriend new I loved pool, but then after we started dating one day after I told her I was going to the pool hall she looked at me and said "Pool, pool, pool, all you ever do is shoot pool..." and I looked at her and said, "Yep, did you think that would change?", to which she looked at me and said "YES!", I just picked up my cue case and left :D

Celina.....She's been to the fast eddies events every now and then. She can't stand smoke so she hates me playing pool. She's quite the attractive girl and I'll introduce you next FE event in town. She thinks I gave it up and that I'm working volunteer work at night......:D That one will only work for so long, I need to concoct a list. :p

Can't ever explain to them that their back rub has just taken a back seat to your 50 dollar sets. When will they learn.....:D ??????
 
I couldnt resist this thread but I have to make it known a deal Ive made with my present day GF. If/when we move in together/get married. I made her the deal that she buys me a new diamond 9ft table (1 piece slate/smart table). I would gladly be ready to give her a kid. As Ive said we both would have our hands full.

My problem with this situation I don't think necissarily is that my GF hates me playing pool as much as it is me and her have limited time together due to my work schedule and her school/work schedule. I work 12hr shifts at nights so I can't play pool and on my weekend (3/4 days a week) I usually try to hit up the pool hall at least 2/3 nights a week in part due to league but mostly due to me wanting to play alot. I met her there when I used to spend almost all of my days off there (which I still am close to). She went there mostly to hang out with friends. I don't think she realized how much I liked pool when we started going out. I just need to get her out there more to practice but she's worried I won't play with her.

You will make someone very happy someday! She clearly wanted to mold you into what SHE wanted you to be. You will find a good woman who loves you for who you are. One that will not be jealous. One that will enjoy a person who lets her do her thing too. GOOD move!

You hit the nail on the head! If a girl wants you to give up something so important to you just because she wants more time, she's not worth it.

I think it's pretty obvious... You didn't care much for the girl to begin with. So your decision to choose pool appears to be a no-brainer, since you're not sacrificing all that much.

But watch out. Once THE girl comes your way whom you genuinely care for, you'll willingly and instantly sacrifice something as trivial as pool for lifelong companionship. If not, then you get better wish you find a girl who is also a pool-junkie like yourself. ;)

I think you're right that the girl didn't mean much to him, but....

I don't know how you can say pool is trivial. It may be for you but you have no idea how important it is to the many other pool players on the planet. For some people it is what they live to do, just like anyone else who loves what they do. Also, chances are if a girl comes along that I genuinely care for she won't make me give up doing what I love, unless I had a really bad gambling problem or something.
 
Elementary decision

It is pretty elementary:

One makes me money, and the other spends my money...... duh!

If you hand your balls over to a woman, she squeezes them when she
wants to, not when you want her to.

It has been a very looooong time since I had to deal with girlfriend issues, but I still remember it. My rule of thumb was always if she doesn't like you just the way you are, or you don't like her just the way she is, say good-bye, the sooner the better.
I've been married to my wife over 30 years and that is because neither of us had any illusions about changing the other after we were married.

On the other hand, pool isn't worth giving up the rest of life for. All things in moderation.
 
gf

how about going out with one of the hotties at the pool hall then you get the best of both worlds.

Many also run out of the poolhall to answer call so that wife/GF couldn't hear balls colliding...:D
 
Several posters already pointed out the key issue here. If the relationship is going to work, neither person makes the other person sacrifice who they are and what they love to do. Love means not wanting the other person to change.
