ending my relationship due to chess
Sort:
I estimate that roughly 70% of the previous posters can't tell an obvious troll, even when he is displaying a huge sign "I am a troll, feed me" in the post title.
Sounds like she wants a break from you anyways (not for chess reasons). Let her go, she will come back when she misses you. In the meantime you can check out how she develops as a person.
If you get back with her, just talk about the self time you both get. If chess is not eating into the time spent together, it should be safe to stay
Sounds like you are looking for a reason to justify breaking up and you have seized on your (former) girl friend's distaste for chess as a reason that will do.
Who knows why relationships end? Maybe the chess playing had something to do with it, maybe the moving away, when the lady cools my own experience is she has often enough met someone else. Anyway good luck with getting it brought to a decent end. And good luck with the next thing that happens, work, chess, new girl friend, whatever.
stick to chess it's cheaper mate !!
When I first joined this site a few years back, this guy started a similar thread...but his tale was one where he became so addicted to chess that his wife divorced him, he lost his job, and he was at the bottom of the barrel. I could only shake my head...
I think both girls and chess may be too much for you matey. Stick to eating cookies and guzzling Pepsi.
No Cookie Monster...coke!!!!

been fighting alot besides me playing chess. for example ever since she moved away she has not made any effort to talk to me or keep in contact with me and if i do it seems like a bother for her to talk to me.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice your queen , to avoid loosing.
You say she has already left, and doesnt talk to you? If you want to continue with her, you must be the one to take contact. If not, she is out forever.
I demand full mutual respect, if that is not there, then you both are better off alone.
If you want to continue, you both should take some communicationclasses together . Most relationships go bad because the communication is not right.
Who would have thought that you would find so many relationship experts in a chess forum. LOL. I suppose troubled couples should join chess.com to get advice.
Very good idea, the experts have too much tunnel vision anyway.
Tell me she knows the poison pawn Najdorf in some depth at least.
Chess is immortal. Girls are not.

So what're you advocating? Chess or the gal?

Well, his girlfriend moved away, and won't return his calls, so I don't blame the lad for giving her up. Why, if a lady treated me that way, I'd dump her, too!
But that's not to say you can't have a relationship and play chess at the same time. You can, just make sure that if she blocks out time so you can be off playing, you make it up with time for her doing something she enjoys, like chick flicks or antique barn shopping or talking about your feelings and what whores your co-workers are.
If you're lucky, she'll let you have a few players over for blitz, and serve you beer and snacks and maybe wear that low-cut top to distract your opponent. But you will probably wake up first.
Made me chuckle because it's true :-)
I'm married 8 years now and my wife accepts and even encourages my chess. She will serve something if I have someone over for blitz, but she'll also let us know if it's getting late!
Once, when I had a tournament coming up, she surprised me by saying: "Shouldn't you be preparing? No point in playing if you don't try to win!".
Some of you would say I'm lucky, but it's not true because it's a skill you have to learn, to be in a relationship. You recieve as you give: I support her in everything too, and sometimes I have to sacrifice something, and I think that's the only way to have a good relationship.
Come back to us when is 28 years or more

well ms sunshine maybe u shouldnt be playing chess. and actually i believe that all guys do act like this.
No they don't.
I smell a shit test :D
If its a bad relationship, end it.
If its a good relationship, keep it going.
Chess should never stand in the way of a good relationship. Get your priorities straight.

so you got a girl who is willing to do anything with you, and your giving it up for a stupid board game?? hopefully not all guys are like this, this is sad.
Clearly she isn't willing to do anything for him if she MOVED AWAY.
If she isn't making you happy you made a good move bro. Don't make a date that won't make a good mate.
...when you get a little older you will realise that chess is not the most important thing...
What?! At what age is this going to happen?
