I was willing to compromise a bit but she still isnt happy bout it. She says she is happy bout it but I just know she isnt. No point her being unhappy but I want to do this.
I could play 5 times a week. Mon, tues, wed, fri and sat. Am really serious bout it, I play for 2 clubs in 2 different leagues and even went to sports psychologist to sort out my mental game. Now I have found a coach, really great player who will bring my physical game up. Am also getting fit in between. Am doing everything I can to better my game and move up in the world of badminton

Oops, almost forgot about the thread starter. Hmmm, like this, consider how much you like badminton, if you can live without her or without badminton.
Try a find a gf who's interested in some sort of sports, be interested in her sports. Or hehehe, find some badminton fan here in BC, then both of you can go training together (ur gf will hate me for this).![]()
I believe as guys, we should never give in to our wives/girlfriends easily unless it is for the benefits of everyone(including ourselves). However, to give up a relationship(if it is a serious one) for something as meaningless as badminton, you must be kidding.
An imaginary conservation between Gingerphil's gf and her friend after they break up over badminton:
GF: I broke up with Gingerphil
Friend(F): oh, poor you... what happened?
GF: He preferred badminton over me
F: Are you serious? Badminton? He just came out of the closet, didn't he?
GF: That's what I thought, or else why would he want to spend more time with sweaty guys than me?
F: LOL
I love my wife and my kids but why would you call badminton meaningless? That's going a little far. Want to know the truth? I see way more failed marriages and relationships than I see people leaving their favorite sport so why would you say the sport is meaningless instead of the person? Can you not love a sport/object/activity... etc. as much or more than a person?
I plan on playing badminton forever, I also plan on staying with my family forever. How many people do you know that have quit badminton completely? Now how many do you know that are divorced?
Based on pure numbers it would appear that hobbies are more stable than relationships.
Back to your question: let me answer it with a question, how many people do you know have divorced because of an obsession with badminton? If so, those people must be out of their minds.
.That's right!! They would have been out of their minds to have got married in the first place. They don't get divorced because of badminton. Those badmintonfanatics avoid marriage to incompatible people in the very first instance![]()
So here, we have gingerphil79 who is really into badminton with a girl who is against it. If I had a girlfriend like that, well, I would change my facebook status from "It's complicated" to "Single".
Ahhhh.... but he was probably playing much less before and during the time when they started going out together. It is only recently that he may have decided to pursue his sport more passionately (with coaching, sports psychologist, etc.), so his g/f is feeling confused and threatened by his choices..If gingerphil79 found Badminton first, then it is strange for his girlfriend to be interested in him. Usually, one is attracted to another because of one's character, hobbies, interests, beliefs, occupation, life-style, etc......
.
And also vice versa. Gingerphil79 is already thinking that this girl doesn't have his priorities in mind either which reflects poorly on the girl and her status as a 'girlfriend'.From a purely socio biological point of view, the dating female is always, always (whether consiously or subconsciously) in some way or other, assessing her prospective mate for features and characteristics that would make him a good father for her children. So, gingerphil's choices would reflect poorly in her mind.
Hence, the reason why he and his g/f have reached this crossroads.
I was willing to compromise a bit but she still isnt happy bout it. She says she is happy bout it but I just know she isnt. No point her being unhappy but I want to do this.
