"I will talk to him and I think for my own piece of mind, my own life, there is life beyond snooker. I still want to work and I'm sure I'll find stuff to do but I want to share my life with someone. I don't want nfl jerseys cheap to be living on my own, I don't want to travel around the world on my own feeling anxious, carrying these emotions. To be the real Ronnie, I need to get away from what's causing the problem."
While O'Sullivan was left pondering his future once again, at 14 years his junior and viewed as the heir-apparent to his people's champion crown, Trump has little to bother him.
The Bristol player's fearless style has already won him a legion of fans, and his ability to sink difficult, long reds helped him take the last two frames for a comeback win.
"I think I got outplayed, my safety wasn't great and I let him in first in over half of the frames," Trump said. "I got a little bit lucky to still be in the match but it's always nice to be in the last stages."
The afternoon's other second-round encounter was another thriller, with ugg boots outlet the two-times winner Ding Junhui seeing off the 2003 champion, Matthew Stevens, 6-5.
John Higgins followed O'Sullivan out of the tournament after leaving himself with a mountain to climb in the evening game against Stephen Maguire. Frame one could have gone either way as Higgins, needing a snooker, forced an unfortunate in-off from his opponent. However, he carelessly returned the compliment and Maguire took the frame.
He doubled his lead with the highest break of the tournament so far, a 144 sparked by a superb long red, then calmly cleared the colours to prevent Higgins pinching frame three.
Higgins finally got on the board in the fourth as a plant set up a break of 60 and Maguire failed to get the two snookers he required. Breaks of 57 and 66 after the interval helped Maguire move 5-1 up but Higgins salvaged some pride with a 101 in frame seven and cleared with 54 to cut the gap to two frames.
The comeback continued apace with a 95 clearance to leave Higgins just 5-4 behind but he overcut a black in the next and Maguire made a match-winning 70.
Neil Robertson beat his fellow former world champion Graeme Dott in the Vancouver Canucks Jerseys evening's other game. Robertson took the first and, after Dott levelled via a re-spotted black, the Australian regained the initiative with a break of 71 in frame three and was gifted a topsy-turvy fourth.
Dott missed a frame-ball red into the middle pocket after a break of 56 and though Robertson's first chance slipped away with poor positional shots to yellow and green, he eventually got over the line to take a 3-1 interval lead.
Dott battled his way over the line in frame five but Robertson took the next and moved to the brink of victory by sneaking frame seven, theatrically patting his heart after the final black wobbled in the jaws before dropping. Dott stayed in the match after taking frame eight on the black and got in first with 60 in the next, but he missed a difficult long red and Robertson produced a tremendous clearance of 68 to progress to the last eight.
