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 . .

Kgdavid: used to be as mad as anyone about the game and im pretty sure ive done very unimaginable things for football. e.g quit a job cuz i was called to work on saturday and united were playing at that time. now i was a teenager devoid of responsibility at the time which has changed now and i see that its very unreasonable to be addicted to anything and the fact that so many other men are like that simply does not justify this. if football controls you this much then unfortunately football is your master which would be sad. some can postpone weddings for a game?? really?? that i quite sad... it shows a deep level of selfishness and immaturity which seems to be quite pervasive in our society and leaves me inclined to believe that that we simply are not ready to make progress as a people.


WTF? Quit a job cz of ManU match?...wit al due respect, dt was very unwise of u. Evry match has a RESHOW. U cld av easily waited for it na. M a united fan,,bt cn't quit my job cz of a match.they r makin dier money,,so y cn't I make mine

God bless you too much Ujujoan....... You and your hubby no go die young. I haven't seen any reasonable comment from a lady like this before about men and their soccer-life in my life.

Americans (any gender) can die when it's time for their super-ball - ordinary egg ball called football. How much more real football...... African women should stop taking their hubbies' love for soccer as their rivals.

i does not agree with you. your advice is nothing but bad character. u encourage breakup and divorses for the advice. for the fiance to calling at that time shows important of issue in discuss. why cannot the man say excuse me to other mens and step outside picking the call? what if the fiance is in critical emergencies? not picking the call may be catostrophical in conclusion. my felow mens, we should learn devote times to ur ladies becaus it is excellent.
ss for the poster, you does not have to be defeted. seat him down and talk senses in him. i belief he will repent. may God help your marriages. amen.

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[b] be more important than the conversation with his fiancée[/b] in a distant courting relationship?

I can bet my left butt cheek that the fiancee had nothing important to discuss but just wanted attention. He had a life before he met her and will continue to have one after he marries her. When a woman starts thinking of what is important and what isn't it in cases like this, a man better watch his step cos She is an ultimatum candidate

@pkween just let him be. Because there's no miracle on earth that will make him understand. I think it's also a good thing for you when you do stuff he doesn't agree with. You give him back his advice that he be 'considerate' and there's nothing you can do to get 'your priorities' in order. wink

Very simple case. Ask her to sit him down and request for the timetable of his clubs matches. If na anyhow club na 1ce a week but if na better club like Manutd na like 2wice or thrice a week. Free him during those times ! Except if na emergency.

50 matches may be played a day but as a fan of a particular club, you are most interested in your favorite team match only. Mostly, fans leave after their favorite teams match.

in rare occasions you want to watch other matches if the result of the match will have an impact on your team position but most time u want to hear the result of other matches only.

send a txt and get one back the issue can wait for all i care.

Yes, every other thing become nothing. I can watch match 24/7 if possible and my wife respects my football privacy. So, just accept the man or go find another one and allow him be. Football is stress remover.

lol sorry to say, but she has tried to work his hobbies around his family. He's probably just one example of a man not fit for marriage tbh. I worry because now I see her fed up of tears and being left alone with the kids. She'll walk eventually, I already see it.

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.

Absolute bullshiit!. It's like you don't know soccer is just for 90 minutes, once a week or couple of weeks and not 24 hours, 7 days in a week. Believe me, emergency can't choose to happen within that 90 mins of soccer unless the wife is possessed. If a hubby needs sense talk because of that, then I guess the wifey must be a pain in the a-ss type who always sees herself as rival to even the smallest thing hubby loves. God please don't bring such wife close to me ooooo. Amen!!!
