Ha, I'm glad to help. You know, you really don't have to go to every league night. But it is a pretty big deal. STBX watched me play just twice in ten years. Both times I won the tournament. Both times we hung out in between matches, had dinner, hung with my friends, etc. We had fun. I enjoyed including her in my life. I enjoyed sharing this part of me with her (for me it is very intimate as it is so personal). But it was just twice, of all the times I competed.
It was so strange. Like if I wrote a book that went global, and I was getting interviewed on TV, and making money, and getting mildly famous...I'd kind of like my W to read the book, even if she thought it was boring. But I'd kind of hope that she could find something to like about it. In a way that book is me. Like my pool game is me.
So don't go every week or anything crazy, but I do think it's an important act of service to offer now and again, and to do for him.
PS- it's a lot less boring when you know what's going on and what they're trying to do...especially if you play and know how hard it is and what thoughts, doubts, and decisions they're wrestling with. Have you ever tried getting in to it, not to play, but just to learn a bit? If that has failed, there's one fool proof way to spice it up. Bet a lot of money on the side!!!
