I guess am the only man who doesnt love soccer. I nearly had heart attack a decade ago when Nigeria lost a match, even one man died of heart attack then. Since that incident, I stopped watching football.

The only reason I will watch football even again will be for betting and gambling, if my team wins, I go home rich, if not, I mourn my financial loss.

Ujujoan: 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 . .

Great comment, but it does not sound feminine. If truly it's from a female, she'll sure have a beautiful home with understanding and love for her man. Most female believe once you are married or in a relationship your social life is traded for the relationship. I love you lady.

I never liked football till I met my Hubby. We went to viewing centres together during our courtship, over time I grew the interest of watching football. Right now I watch football alone when he is not @ home. We discuss matches, managers, players, transfer, table, etc. My dear, the best thing u can do is to develop interest so u can enjoy ur man and the game.

pkween: 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?

His watching the match shouldn't be more important than talking with his fiancee. Even if he couldn't speak with her. I think there are better ways to relay it to her than saying, "this is a bad time to call me..."

If it's that important...send him a text message!

dang!

Lol . . I trust you to be sentimental about this!
You know we women like to be the centee of attention na . . wink cheesy
But don't worry, she'll learn with time!

@ Poster, my advice to you is to get become a football fan yourself.
It's only when you experience what they feel that you can truly understand!
I became a Chelsea fan too for a while but meeeen, they almost gave me a heart attack this season!
Now I just stay away from football to avoid further heart break! sad sad

My dear u would learn to deal with it in your own way.
I had issues with my husband when we just got married.I Kept nagging and whining but it didn't help.
I had to encourage him to buy the decoder and watch at home instead of going out and tried to learn a few names of d players and clubs.He is still a football freak but I'm glad he stays home.
Don't let it get in the way of ur relationship if he has all other qualities u want.

I agree . . 100%
It's insanity when your house is on fire and you are watching Chelsea match . . . or your wife is in labor and your are watching Real Madrid!
But if it's not an emergency, nothing wrong in letting him enjoy a 90-mins game without disturbance.
It's healthy to have hobbies . . . doctors recommend it to relieve stress! cool cool

I'm an exampls. My wife hates footbball with a passion but its no longer the case today. She now watches it with me even she doesn't know what's happening.

Dude, You are saying this because you don't LOVE football...I'm a lady & I love football with all my heart, everybody around me knows I don't joke with football. Anytime, my club are playing & my guy calls, once I say "I'm watching our game" he will be like " Ok, will call you back" because he knows I'm not listening 2 any thing he's saying at that moment especially if we are loosing so my dear, is all about understanding, knowing when to let him be. I suggest, u try and develop little interest on his team so you will know when his club are playing, when they loose & when they win so you will know how to handle his mood at that particular moment. My guy, never liked football but developed interest because of me & also likes my club now....lol he calls to Sympathize with me anytime we lost a game even without me telling him so is all about compromise. #teamManunited# heading 2 our 20th league title, can't wait 2 see Vidic with the cup...lol
