Until my Mom moved to Las Vegas two years ago, she and I played duplicate bridge for almost 40 years. We enjoyed the game and played once or twice a week. Of course we loved to win, but since we didn’t take the game seriously we didn’t care if we came in last. We had fun anyway, knowing we might always do better next time.
Now that I play with new partners I don’t enjoy the game as much. Several of the players hate to lose and thus criticize my playing to place the blame on me. Yesterday, during our game and on our drive home my partner kept “hashing” over my mistakes. Of course, it was unpleasant, but it also irritated me because she too made mistakes, though hers were never discussed. On top of that she told me several times to stop interrupting her, even though she continually interrupted me.
I can easily put an end to this unpleasantness, by simply giving up bridge. But since it’s a fascinating game and I do want to continue playing, I’ll have no right to complain.
