Last year DH and I joined David Lloyd. We signed up for the extra racquet sports so we could play together and spend time together. Neither of us had really played tennis before so I wasn’t expecting amazing rallies or whatever but thought we might improve together.
Anyway first time we booked a court DH really showed us up. He was throwing himself on the floor, running into the net and “bouncing off it” and at one point threw his racquet across the court. I kept telling him to stop messing around as people were looking but he made out it was all accidental and he was just getting to grips with everything. We tried a couple more times but he acted the same, it was totally pointless as I’d hit the ball and he would either miss it or whack it into the wall. I spent the entire time just stood there waiting for him to get up off the floor.
We tried an outdoor court but that was worse as the ball just went flying and DH would run after it through the courts rather than just leaving it and using a new ball. We ended up arguing the last time we were there and havnt been since.
Anyway as a NY resolution he wants us to go back. I said no initially due to his messing around but he promised he won’t so I agreed.
We’re meant to be going on Friday but I’m dreading it!! It’s just too embarrassing and frustrating. Now that I’ve said I’ll go I’m thinking of using this as a last chance for him to take it seriously before cancelling the racquet sports completely or AIBU and taking a “fun” hobby too seriously?
I just don’t see the point!! I just end up stood there watching his dramatics!
