He Cares About Football More Than Me. by SamMilla1(m): 8:52am On Jul 22, 2009
I’m in my twenties and live with my 30-year old boyfriend. He has a good job and pays almost all the bills. I work in a bank and work on Saturdays as well. On Saturdays, my boyfriend’s close friends come around to the house to watch sports and leave the flat looking like a dump.

When I arrived home last Saturday, they were all watching football and there were dirty plates, cigarette stubs and beer bottles all over the place. I lost my temper and switched the TV off and my guy got really pissed off.

He tried to grab the remote control and I ended up falling down in an unflattering heap on the floor. Then I started crying and they all left to go to one of the guys’ flat to continue watching the match.

We haven’t spoken to each other because of the incident and I don’t know where our relationship is going. I can’t put up with his unfeeling behaviour much longer.

Got this from somewhere. I believe its an interesting debatable topic.

I know many girls hate issue like this, but switching the tv off while all his mates are there is rude.

Talk to him after, ask him to clean up all the mess. take time out to do something u like as well,
while he is busy watching footy, go out with the ladies or something,
Its not just her house, both of them own it.

No need being bossy and nasty infront of his mates,
Re: He Cares About Football More Than Me. by izeek(m): 9:17am On Jul 22, 2009
well i think ladies should know when to bring up issues like this.
dman! his friends were araound, dont taht count for something?
moreso, footie and girls just dont go along together, unless ur girl loves footie live crazy too.

Switching of the TV in front of his "mates" (especially while they were watching soccer) is like switching off his life support in front of his parents. His "mates" will NEVER like you and whether people like to admit it or not, its important that they like you at least fairly.

Point is, there are other ways to pass a message across.

Tough Situation that has been happening to my sister and I have never been able to pin down how to deal with it, I guess most guys turn to be monstors once they are comfortable around their women, I mean I cant handle that to my own sisters how do u handle it to ur BF or Husband coz those ppl tend not to listen and be stubborn, I think those kinda things requires both teams to sit down and talk about their concerns and how they can go about it but that isnt easy when the other party is as stubborn, guys can be a lot of work and stress at times and again some1 stands there and say get married so that u can be unhappy maybe? some things man just get out of hand, I mean my sister is been married to this guy for 10 yrs and he is been treating her like a queen and all of a sudden he changed to this monster that I dont even know myself

But Seriously now U shudnt have switched off the TV not in front of his buddies
Re: He Cares About Football More Than Me. by SamMilla1(m): 9:36am On Jul 22, 2009
I was disappointed after reading this topic.
The girl might not like soccer but she must like something.
I wonder if she considered switching off something she likes.
Plus i consider it a gross insult to do that in front of his friends.
They will never like her again plus their next line of advice to the man would be to leave the girl.
That is just the plain truth. Imagine what those friends will be telling the guy if he shows up in their house to watch soccer.
It is obvious they wont go to his house to watch anything again.

Trust me if i were in the house watching the soccer as a friend, i would have confronted the lady for that insult.
Her house or not. Rubbish!!

Maybe ur sister under-estimated him, she is used to been treated well, she failed to appreciate that, she might think its automatic to get those juicy treatment. He will not just switched off and start being nasty, something triggered it

And there is only one thing that change a man's behavior and that wud "He has or Got another pussy to Bleep" and trust me its always that or maybe he is hoping to get the new pussy soon so he is paving his way to a new pussy and now he wants his wife to be out of his case

The height of it was when she switched off the t.v set in the middle of a crucial match,I really don't know what i will do(if it were to be me) because i don't joke with soccer.
@Poster,
The only thing she can do is to profusely apologise and hope he forgives totally(which i doubt).

@sista in-law saga
the problem with us guys is that from the onset of arelationship, we tend to treat our ladies like eggs.
not like amsaying its wrong, but this ladies get soo used to the idea of being handled as eggs, dey refuse to accept any other form of treatment.
ur sister must have been used to being handled like a queen, and now that he wants to handle her like the the ordinary lady she is,
she is feeling like he wants to maltreat her.

what i just feel is ladies should know that u dont get queely treatment at all times.
and hey when me dey watch footie, i dont like being disturbed.

and hey not every fight with the wife means paving way for another.

Champions League Finale

Manchester United vs Barcelona.

Imagine your wife or girlfriend switching off the tele in the middle of the game,

Especially if you are a crazy supporter of Soccer,

Tracey maybe  u are right, it could be as well that ur sister pushes him away, he found a shoulder to cry on, it could be both ways,

Personally, when i'm hooked with one lady, nothing, i mean nothing will make me look elsewhere,
Just ask urself, why did him change? He has being treating her well for 10yrs, why the sudden change?

That serves the Girl right!!! You know guys are passinate about soccer, so you don't have to disturb them when they are watching soccer, what she did by switching off the Tv only made the matter worse, what she should have done was to ignore all temptations and just walk in, then after the match she should be outspoken and tell her guy what she dislikes,

Guys U cant be angry and think at the same time, its as hard as a honey guy to use his brain when he is with a sexy lady, so ppl some emotions cant be tempered with other emotions at the same time, do u have any idea how it feels to find everything all over the place and the person who messed all that up is busy enjoying soccer, yeah she was so rude and inconsiderate to do that so was the guy but it does not justify her actions but sometimes we do things out of anger and we regret after, no crucifying hey
Re: He Cares About Football More Than Me. by chiejik(f): 10:41am On Jul 22, 2009
gal your attitude in front of his triend is rude.there ways to tell him your mind.maybe she doesnt know,
1, afer making , you call him to order by that time he will listen.gal you have to appologise is wrong on what you did ok frankly is bad
Re: He Cares About Football More Than Me. by Nobody: 11:01am On Jul 22, 2009
always a bad idea to get between a man and his hobbies

while i'm not into sports and am a loner - i also get irritated when madam starts calling me when i'm in the middle of some great pc game / pc hack

women need to learn to accept that smiley

just as men learn to accept their wives hogging the tv to the E! channel

am trying to imagine mr spikey turning off her E! or TSN grin grin

now let me divulge a little.
Armed robbers came to attack me at home during the champions league final between my Barcelona and Man Utd. I had my attention focused on the match(while on floor cooperating with them as they looted) through out the ordeal and i got injured when I vehemently resisted the disconnection of my decoder.
I didnt know where the courage came from but i successfully resisted it and saw the match to an end. . .a bitter-sweet experience it was.
Now Sam & izeek
What do you think i would have done if the distractions were to come from my girl?

Re: He Cares About Football More Than Me. by whitelexi(m): 1:21pm On Jul 22, 2009
Rule number one: Make sure your wife/babe supports the same team u support
Rule number two: Ensure you both understand that the hierarchy must be as follows:

Football => Mates => Babe    

                Or

Wife => Football => Mates

That's why I always tell the guy upfront that "Dont do what u won't be able to till the end of this r/s" coz if he stops then that's when trouble comes.

Now back to the topic,
Her own is beta, my ex & hiz friends used to watch soccer and even play it on that play station which is more the same as the real soccer in terms of duration, it takes 90min as the real soccer & even have extra time if no1 scores. I didnt like it but I ended up playing it with him. You know what they say "If you cant beat them, join them".

I applied for one(via the police) but yet to get presently,I make do with a big machete.
and by the way, there is nothing bad in treating our ladies like eggs, they are meant to be treated like that but it behoves on them to reciprocate that gesture with relative understanding when it comes to crucial issues like soccer and friends.
