personally, if I was a TN fan, might be less painful/problematic in the long run, to go shopping with her today?

Is your wife not a southern woman? Down here we all know college football is just about as serious as religion! I just can't get past a woman not understanding that.....
However, if my husband wanted to watch pro-football, I would have planned something with my friends so I wouldn't have to watch that. Your wife should do the same and be thankful for some planned "girl time" without feeling guilty for leaving you behind.

Just a little advice for future reference from a guy whose been married to the same woman for a long time..


It is not just marriage that is all about compromising. WOMEN are about compromising. If you show that you are willing to make a deal, 90% of the time, no matter what the subject is, they're going to at least be willing to listen.

Go into any discussion with the idea that you're negotiating with them...give them a chance to express themselves, to tell you how they feel, and most of the time you'll get what you want...and so will she.

OK
I'm old and maybe I can help.
My EX tried to distract me with sex. I left the radio on while Herbert Simpson ran over ND. (It wasn't on TV.)
You could go shopping with her. Wear lots of orange and carry a radio. In the store, when Tenn scores yell "TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEEEEEE!!!" If Fla scores, say (loudly) "That MFer Tebow" She will not ask you to go again on game day.

I hope this helps.

You should have got up and went with her and told her you wanted to be home to watch the TN/FL game.

I believe there should be a Volnation Man Law for the big games. Florida, Alabama. Georgia....etc. :rock2:

In 20+ years of marriage i can say Football has never been an issue so i am lucky and married a great woman!!!

First off, this is partly on you for not letting her know how it would be from the get go during football season. The fact that you are not going shopping with her to watch football should not (if you had done this as you should) come as a surprise to her. That being said, let her be mad and go shopping. You will pay hell for it for a little while. But going forward, she will change her expectations. If you let her force you to go shopping today, you are only going to set a precedent that will carry forward. That's just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

This is very true....we are emotional at all times and the good ones are apologetic about it. Don't forget we women have secrets too, you never know what trick we have up our sleeves ;) If I were your wife I totally would have fed off that situation and bought me a little something extra (if it was in the budget) knowing you wouldn't have said anything about it since I know you would have felt guilty about hurting my feelings.

I'm sure you love her to death,but you need to man up and tell her,"don't you ever ever compare Tennessee football with shopping".

Lots of guys out there are not UT fans and will have no problem showing your wife a good time. Sometimes you need to put things in perspective by being miserable because if momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy.
