pR0JEkT 21 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Yeah, I think that she should supoort your hobbies and interests cause I know damn well thet there is something that shes interested in that you probably dont like..um like maybe soap operas or maybe ice skating hell I dont know thats not the point. The point is Ive dated chicks that dont like football and Ive dated chicks that love football. The thing with me is that during the football season I watch high school football on fridays and then NCAA on saturday and then NFL on sunday and monday night. So mine is a lil more intense as far as watching football. If she still has a problem then you either need to get rid of her or tell her to go do something that interests her for a few hours each week. A little separation would keep things fresh anyway! Thank god for me Im married and have 2 kids with a woderful woman..I made her my wife. I wonder why? lol, Shes a hard core Broncos fan! So we get along..I go for her team in the AFC and she goes for mine in the NFC. So its totally cool. My daughter likes her team and my son likes my team..thats the way to do things. lol, anyways its better for you to date a girl that dont like football than dating a chick that likes the Cowboys you guys would definately be breakin up!

SkinsBry Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Tell her to find or start a support group for wives and girlfriends of football fans. They can get together and occupy their time together while the guys watch football. If she won't go for that, send her on her way. Neither of you will be happy and that will spread from Football Sundays to other days of the week and onto the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins0128 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Just wanted to add my opinion, from a female.....Lose her. Now. A lot of good points have been made about compromise and selfishness. There's a LOT of female Skins/football fans out there, trust me on this one! And 3 1/2 hours a week? That's nothing! I've been playing fantasy football for 10 years or so, and I'm completely addicted - Skins first and foremost, have been my whole life. But if I'm not at the game, I'm watching....all of them....ALL day/evening. Tell her to go to the mall and shop, or whatever it is "normal" chicks do 3 1/2 hours a week? :paranoid: That is just gametime, what about tailgating? That makes Sunday home games a full day event. My wife is not a fan of football, but she understands my passion with it. Supports it in fact by buying Redskins stuff for me etc, by not complaining about me having season tickets etc. She has her things she likes to do, and I have mine. Gets us a little "me" time with just friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeApe Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Dump her. It's only been a short relationship. If she can't accept something that you love, your relationship has no chance in the end. None. My wife doesn't like football, but allows me to watch as much of it as I want. You have to give and take in relationships and it sounds like she just wants to take. Get out now before you invest anymore time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Fever Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It sounds to me like she has some control issues to work through. Today she wants to take football away from you; tomorrow you’ll be wearing a skirt and holding her purse while she shops at Basket World. Run away now. Believe it or not there are women out there who are the total package and who dig football, or will at least understand that you are a fan and give you some space. Let her go find some Nancy Boy who’s only allowed to watch the Super Bowl every year (and then only because there is a party). Run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Flames Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 your together a month, and she's acting like this, drop her like a bad habit, someone will come along that doesnt mind football, or actually enjoys it. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin-one Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 When my wife and I first started dating she wasn't much into football. She got tickets for me for my birthday one year. We went and the experience made her just as big a fan as I am. I think she likes going to games more than I do. We have had season tickets for the last 5 years. Take your girlfriend to the game and see if she changes her attitude. If not, bye-bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Give her a hug and tell her you totally understand. It's just a game after all. She's a living, breathing vibrant person. You'll miss the Skins at first, to be sure, but take those three hours and do something with her. Go hiking, join a club together. Live your LIFE. Who cares about sports? Kidding! Seriously, if she is making a concerted effort to repeatedly point out her hatred of something you like, that's a problem. You should never have to apologize for being you. For having interests, freinds, a favorite color ... whatever. I'm not saying flat out dump her, but I might, next time she goes off on an anti-football tirade, ask her why she's going out with you if she can't stand something that's so important to you. That's a legitimate question, and an important one to ask before you get too involved with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have lots of nice furnishing for the home! Sseriously, much like eveyone has stated already, she has control issues. I'm in agreement with everyone else. I vote to run away. Tell her you met a fantastic woman who doesn't see anything wrong with you watching football and even pleasures you while you watch.... by "pleasure" i meant by bringing you beers. God, you people have filthy minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 My fiance' comes from a family that doesn't watch sports. ever. I'm willing to say that they couldn't NAME a player on the Skins. So I decided to teach her about football. I put togather some terms and watched a MNF game with her. She concluded that she doesn't understand any of it. Also that John Madden frightens her. So I guess we have that in common. So that was a dead end. To put a wrinkle in this, a friend of mine has UMD season tickets, so I go to lots of those games as well. We've had a few fights about this becuase to her, there is "Always a game on." I understand her frustration, when we couldn't see eachother much when I was away at school during the week and watching football games on the weekend. Now that we live togather and see eachother every day, it's not such a big deal. There may be the occasional tiff about it, but I won't apolagize for watching the Redskins. I won't. Sports and myself and a package deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 That's pretty selfish of her to be so unacceptable of something that you enjoy so much. She obviously has some control issues. If she's trying to control you, after one month, over something like football. What's going to happen when she meets your friends, will she be telling you that you can't hang out with them? Next thing you know you'll be living her life, instead of yours. I think you need to tell her that, there needs to be some sort of compromise. Just like everyone else said, she can go do something she likes, or something. If she can't even go that far for you, then she's not worth it, honestly. I mean, Karina (my fiance) was never into football when I met her. At first she would just leave me alone and let me watch the games. Now she'll sometimes participate in the festivities with me. She went to the Panther-'Skins preseason game with me, and she had a ball hanging out before the game and at the game. Now she's all excited for the 49ers game and Hogfest. I hope it all works out for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissU28 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 not like football?!?!? :doh: That's horrendous. I know that I personally won't date a guy who doesn't like football....seriously. (or if I do, I'm not that interested bc I PRIORITIZE my time around skins games)... But in this case it's not even about the football, it's about her not accepting something you love. If she's like this about football, think about days down the road when there's something more important that you're discussing (not that there's anything more important than football )....what then? it's only been a month.... i mean if you really like her and u can look past it, keep on truckin'. But it doesn't seem like she'll support you in what you choose, and that's not a good thing in a relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsonny Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 ouch!!! thats almost as bad as dating a Raven, Eagle, Giant or Cowboy fan give it up - Football is in our blood - she is of another species - Let her date some non-football wuss unless the sex is really good, then you'll have to figure out a way to work around football in the fall and winter months - geeeeeeez its only a game!!!!

jbooma Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 My girlfriend HATES football. She can't even talk about it (or listen to me talk about it) without getting incredibly angry. It's honest-to-god become a serious strain on our relationship as the season starts up. She thinks I am addicted to football (obsessed was the term she used) and that it is a horrible sport. Of course she can't explain why she doesn't like football, and has given little effort to understand the greatest sport ever.I don't get it. We've been going out for about a month and it seems to be bothering her more and more. I don't see what's so wrong with budgeting 3 hours a week for 1/2 a year towards something you love doing. I try to explain it that way and put it in a context that she could comprehend and she still refuses to budge in her disgust of it. She loves photography. I asked her if she was only able to take photos and develop them for 3 hours a week, for half the year, what would she do when given the opportunity? And wouldn't she be looking forward to taking photos when the opportunity is near? She says they aren't even similar situations. I don't get it. Has anyone been in this situation before and how long was it until your love for the Redskins and football ended your relationship? Hate to say this but it might be time to move on. I can understand if your girlfiend doesn't like football, but her to be mad at you for it, that isn't right. You might want to to straight up ask her if your love for football will be an issue from now on with this relationship, maybe she will realize that it is not a big deal. I am also suprised about how many on this thread also say their wife or gf do not like football. I know a lot of girls that love football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
