I don't know about all you "taken" ladies, but my boyfriend is a DIE HARD football fan...or should I say GIANTS fan. Every since we started dating 4 1/2 years ago I was made WELL AWARE that Sundays are for Football and that's it. From 11am until 10 or 11pm his toosh is on the couch (in one spot, and one spot only...don't you dare sit in that spot). When he first told me this we were still in that "honeymoon" phase so I was all okay no problem whatever you want. But then once it approached I really wasn't looking forward to that. But, then... it was that first football Sunday and believe it or not I really enjoyed it. Besides all the yelling at screaming it was pretty relaxing. His family puts out a ton of appetizers and snacks to munch on throughout the day. I will sit and text and chat with friends or catch up on what people are up to...maybe nap on the couch or TRY to pay attention and understand what's going on (four years later I still don't really understand). To me, Football sundays are the days I sit and do NOTHING...and, it's nice! I don't even dare, or can't dare to try to talk to my boyfriend while the games are on because it will go through one ear and out the other. Some people don't understand how I "allow" this. Well, I don't "allow" it. I can't "allow" anything. You shouldn't try to control the person you love... let them enjoy what they love. There are those days where I really don't feel like sitting there watching football all day and when those days come I do one of two things - I either 1.) Suck it up and watch it or 2.) make plans and do something else. You do need your "me" time too! Take advantage of this! We still have our "us" time when Football Sundays are in play. We just do whatever it is we want to do either Friday night or Saturday - day or night. Ladies, whether you agree with me or not... Your boyfriends/fiances/husbands should do what they enjoy. Do you want them controlling what you do? Keep you away from what you love? Sure...through the Summer Sundays might be the time you spend together but life is about change. Relationships are about compromise. You may not think so but at the end of the day If you want to spend the time with your boyfriend that day - just chill out and watch the game with him. You are there with him, and he will appreciate and enjoy the fact that you're willing to try something that they love to do. They may not say it but in there mind they are thinking it. Now, once that first football Sunday approaches...sit your toosh on the couch and RELAX! |
