WHAT TO DO? – OK
We play bridge once a week in the evening. We are twelve in all. One of the men is very impatient, very critical, very loud and annoying. He was my best friend’s hubby. I remember when she was alive she would call me and complain about her hubby and how he upset everyone. Well he is still doing it. We don’t know what to do. Last night he really upset my friend and now she doesn’t want to play anymore. I don’t know if we can kick him out of the group. I think we should just start another group. So some of us would play twice a week. He just can’t accept or understand that some of us just don’t see the game as he does. He just wants to win. We only play for three dollars. What’s the big deal? My hubby is a much better player but he is very patient.
I think it’s time to talk to him and tell him if he can’t behave he will have to leave the group. There are at least five weak players who dread having to play with him. Why should we have to face that every week?????? Maybe I’ll ask my hubby to talk to him.
It’s awful when that happens.. I only like to play for fun.. but it gets so that it isnt fun anymore.. I think it is a good idea if your husband would be willing to have a kind, tactful word with him. Good luck!

If your husband would agree to talk to him, that would be ideal. Someone needs to, and it’d be really nice if your husband would do it. Some people don’t listen to ANYone, but hard-headed men are a lot more likely to listen to another man than they are to listen to a woman. If he refuses to act better, I say, kick him out! He’s ruining other people’s fun, and fun IS the point of getting togetherto play cards! If he thinks he’s a Pro, let him go on the Pro circuit! hugs, Weesprite

someone needs to remind him it is JUST A GAME !!! He obviously doesn’t take a hint so someone tactful but assertive needs to tell him plainly that he is over-the-top and loud, and that he has to consider what everyone wants. Good Luck. hugs P

Yes, you all need to start a new group. This man is spoiling what should be a fun time. Some people are like that – they just HAVE to win and it is way more important to them to do so. I would surely hate playing with him!

if your husband will agree to talk to him that would be great. since he’s the way he is, i doubt if he’d listen if a woman talke to him. maybe start another group or kick him out of this group. start another group and then just don’t show up for the group he’s in. take care,
