Husban/Wife or Life Partners Bowling, Do you bowl in a leage with your life partner?

[Perrin]

I bowl with my wife in 2 leagues (that is all she bowls) and I bowl in 2 mens leagues (sub in a third) also.

It's fun for the most part the only bad thing is if what happens on the lanes comes home...

She does love the occasional time that she beats me for a game or the 1 time she beat me scratch series

Congrats to all of you that can bowl with your partners!!! My husband and I bowled in a league for the last four years (we've been married 3). He finally asked me to find a replacement for the second half of the season in January, as our bowling together was becoming detrimental to our marriage. We just approach the game differently, and I saw a side of him - that was NOT pretty, and I couldn't deal with it and my bowling sucked, and as such, the attitudes then drifted into the truck on the way home and sometimes way after.

Now he is happy just going to open bowl by himself once in awhile.

Although, to his credit, he did sub for us a few weeks ago. Bowled well, no temper tantrum, and a good attitude (win or lose), and all was good. Wouldn't want to chance it on a weekly basis just yet...maybe in time.

Good, should have a good time at this sport. Cindy (my wife) like I said is really new (this is her 3rd year) I'm proud of her, maintaining a 127 average (High game todate is 195). But we have good nights and bad nights, and our teammate and us like to win but never put blame on any one player if we loose. Don't get me wrong we try to win, we laugh and help each other out.

When Cindy is having a tough time, I just inform her of what I see wrong, let her decide how to move forward and just cheer her on, same with our teammates, if they see things wrong and tell me, awesome, I try to correct and it helps 90% of the time.

Like tonight in the travel league, our 2nd game. 4 out 5 of us had Turkey 10th frames and loved it (wink TCCStudent). It was all good. Then I get stuck with the "Hello Kitty" dice, last one "Hung" has to take them home (TCCStudent Thanks, they hung me in the 9th on the third game).

I find going to bowling alley, relaxes me, lets me unwind, and I try never to bring down anyone including me bad game are learning tools.

She picked up the game really really fast 1 yr and holds close to a 140 avg. high game was a 245 I about S my self she's a way better Bowler then me. Ha ha ha. On a side note what's wrong with Hello Kitty my phone case is hello kitty right now
