I'm afraid my b/f is addicted to (of all things) golf. He plays golf every Sunday (this morning he left at 7 a.m.) I asked him if he wanted to come by my house afterwards and he said we'd talk more later. Well later- 8 hours later and he was on his way home, he says he is beat and asks if I wanted to come to his house. i wonder if he thought i would say no and stay home, well I went. Low and behold he sat on the couch watching more golf till and was when I left 2 hours late. He plays in all tournaments, goes on golf trips and plays at least 1-2 days during the week. Even friends and just people I barely know make comments to me about him and his golf. Am I crazy for staying with this man. Would a die hard golfer find time to spend with his woman. Oh yeah after the game today- he did mention he had stayed and had 3 pitchers of beer with his buddies. Paranoid I guess but would you all think he really didn't want to see me afterwards?

I golf 6 or 7 days a week during my school team. For golf, you need to pretty much eat, sleep, and breathe golf.

Well, everyone needs time for themselves. I am an avid golfer, but I'm single presently. How about you take up the game yourself and maybe you will get hooked. That way that is something for the 2 of you to do together. Couples tournaments and leagues, scrambles, and the 2 of you can go on golf trips. If that doesn't appeal to you, then I guess you are gonna have to sit him down and come to an agreement on what is an acceptable amount of golf. Try this on for size. He is allowed to play 18 on Saturdays which will take 4-41/2 hours then another hour for the 19th hole which is food and drinks after golf. The same thing on Sundays and an occasional monthly tournament.

If your boyfriend is really into golf like you say, he is not going to give it up. You need to either find a hobby to take up the time that hes golfing, or you need to learn the game. Golf is really a great game and atleast if you try to learn it, it is something that you can do together. You can take some lessons from a professional and get the basics down really quick. I was married to someone that hated golf and all sports and she really gave me a rough time when I would play and although our divorce was not because of golf it didnt help any. Good Luck!!!

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

If you marry him you will be a "golf widow." You have three options:
1) Learn to play golf and love it.
2) Learn to live without your man every nice weekend of the year and every time a golf tournament is on TV.
3) Dump him and move on.
Sorry to sound so harsh....but I do know what I am talking about. It is the truth.

He plays once a week and you are complaining? Man, I wouldn't marry someone that needs too much attention and thinks about her own needs all the time. On the contrary, my wife just bought me a putter. And she tries to understand the game instead of hating it. And when she wants to watch a boring romantic movie, I always come with her. Well you don't have to like the same hobby, but you just have to spend time together.

Based on your comments I think you answered your own question.
He's very interested in golf and he's more interested in the relationships he has on the course than he has with you. Don't take it as a snub on you, that's just what he wants to do.
It's evident that you're looking for a different kind of relationship that he is looking for. Nothing wrong with that. It's just two people with two different goals. It's great that you realize that now. Move on for both his sake and yours.

well if your boyfriend loves golf and you know that he loves you then there is no problem. but if your relationship has suffered because of him going once a week then you don't have that great of a relationship but um maybe he was really tired this time if he usually comes by and sees you and today was rare then don't sweat it just keep him close and make sure he loves you and it should be all good

You need a boyfriend who goes to church every Sunday morning. The guy isn't ready for a commitment. You don't want a relationship that is in trouoble to start with.He sounds selfish. Unless that is if you are someone who has something you do a lot of, but it doesn't sound like it.
In my opinion it would be better to be single than in an unhappy relationship.
