| I had to marry a non-fencer after some of my past experiences.....
Ever been assigned to ref a pool with 5 of 6 competitors being current or ex significant others? (1 current, 4 ex. at the time- for the sewer minded) And the 6th being a person of great wit, and determined to have the most fun with the situation? Loooooooooooong pool.
Things like that will keep you out of the very small gene pool that is our beloved sport.  | |

| I believe that's when you INSIST you have a conflict with that pool and demand another. | |

one of the odder experiences was watching my boyfriend fence (in the round of 8... or 16? something several rounds in...) and totally losing track of my event, only to discover that i was fencing, RIGHT THEN, and that my first DE was against my boyfriend's roommate. who also happened to be someone i had been involved with once upon a time. awkward.

Although this story makes one wonder if you are not the Don Juan of epeeists, cutting a slothlike swathe through the ranks of those dewey eyed, gently bouncing maidens with large feet and large swords.
Unless of course you're female... Or unless you date foilists (pointy people stick together, I guess) or sabreuses (heaven forfend!)

| Yes...normally it's a great way to get out aggression, and not really a problem. Until the day that he beat me in DEs and I missed my C by 5 points  . I did speak to him on the drive home, though. | |

| I tried not fencing my partner for the longest time, but it just didn't work... I started fencing when I was 9. I fenced for 10 years and then left the sport for the next 15. When I decided to get back into it, my partner decided to give it a try. Now, I can't get away with not fencing her. It's good for working out frustrations, but I wish we didn't have plaster walls in our house! ;-) | |

| I'm lucky - my wife took up fencing last fall, and seems to be having a good time of it. She's a lefty, though - pretty sneaky...
