Dealing With A Football-Addicted Fiance by pkween(f): 12:57pm On Apr 18, 2013
A fiancée called up her fiancé yester night and the reply she got was, this is a bad time to call me because I am seeing a match. Tell me, can his watching of football match be more important than the conversation with his fiancée in a distant courting relationship?
Re: Dealing With A Football-Addicted Fiance by Nobody: 1:09pm On Apr 18, 2013
Fist off, if he's in a public bar, the noise will be too much for you guys to have a reasonable conversation. It'll be better if you waited for him to get home.
Secondly, what is so important that you couldn't wait for a 90mins game to be over? undecided
This is one area I don't interfere with in my man's life . .
I used to think football was just a game until I met him . . To these fanatics, it's more than a game. It's like their life!
Every day Chelsea has an important match to play, I pray and fast for them to win cos if they lose, I'll have a lottttt of consoling to do!
I won't lie, it used to be veeeeery annoying, but that's men and football!
Just because he's your fiance doesn't mean his life has to end . .
What will you do when you guys are married with kids crying and running all over the place, and his ignoring you and concentrating on SS because champions league finals is on undecided undecided

When a man is watching football, every other thing has to freeze.

Sorry, but just accept men as we are.

I can postpone sex to watch a match. Can't tell how many times it has caused quarrels between me and wifey. It's how those of us who played the game for donkey years are wired. Even now, I still play with a club. So OP, you think yoiu have seen football addiction? You never see jack!

Just deny him "the thing" for some time ..... he will then realize that footy is not as important and will pick race to receive your call grin
On the other hand, try and understand small - if it is just a casual conversation that can wait, the game will be over sooner than you think.
I hope he is not an Arsenal fan though, because it is quite likely he may be very vexed at the end of the game wink

Very well said Ujujoan.

Op, you just have to get used to it, cuz unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it.

90% of Nigerian men don't joke with their football. cheesy

Football is very important to most men.#TeamArsenal
But a man should not ignore his lady because he is watching soccer and please ladies, if its not important, 90mins is not that long.
