Sign up ×  I joined a duplicate bridge group and was matched
with a partner; we are doing pretty well when it comes to
points. Question: My partner sometimes criticizes not only me
but also opponents, sometimes offers unsolicited advice, and is
sometimes catty about other people playing in the room. What is
correct way to address this? It is not constant an often subtle.
Am I being overly sensitive or is this something that should be
addressed by me or by the director?  share|improve this question
3 Answers 3  It's tough for the Type A personalities so often
attracted to competitive games like Bridge, but all criticisms
of partner should be reserved until after the match. I suggest
noting to your partner "Make a note of that hand, and we'll
discuss it after the game." One or two violations per game, that
accept such a comment with a positive attitude, can be tolerated
in a partner - any more than two you should be looking for a new
partner, as the problem will get worse not better.  All
criticisms of anybody
