It's simple. Would she go out of her way and attend every single event you may have? You have to be careful of someone who wants to take your interests away and make her interests yours. Everyone throws out the word compromise. But does she give up anything she really likes for you?............

Apparently it's settled now, nice.

So.....since I AM a girlfriend of a VERY serious VOLS fan...here's my advice:

Compromise.

My EX husband was a big college football player...so I've gotten used to having the Saturday/Sunday/Monday thing dedicated to football. And I knew going into my current relationship that the VOLS were especially a big part of not only his family's life(alumn) but his life.

Now...onto the compromise part. (Though I am a bit bias because I love football anyways and miss Eric Berry)

I know there are some games that just can't be missed....Bama, Florida...etc... the big games. But if the VOLS are playing one of the lesser teams, so to speak, AND it's an AWAY game(he has season tickets) He knows better than to deter from plans we could
make. lol ( and yes I know enough now to put on the calendar game days we can and can't miss or getaway)

She should understand that being a VOLS fan, you just can't miss those games. As for the "eh" games, then I'd say, support her at her competitions. This way you give a little and she gives a little. I mean football season is only until November....after that, you'll have the next 5 months of eye candy competitions to support her talents. Vols fans wait, what it seems like forever for the season to start and then it's done before you know it.

Plain and simple....she either get's it or doesn't. She just has to accept that, yes, even though it is only game, it's something that's a part of you. And honestly, if she loves ya, she manage.

If your girlfriend is a competitive cheerleader, I assume you're still in high-school. If that's the case, dump her over-grinnin' a$$ NOW!

You know they do that way past high school right? Even in college I hear.

Of course every relationship has it's own dynamics...but being in a relationship not only includes sharing common interest but discovering each others and new interests together. :) I also believe you have to pick and chose your battles carefully....

I remember when I had to tell my parents that I had gotten a girl pregnant and that I intended to marry her. Of course they freaked out and all but as time went by....they realized they couldn't deter me from doing what I felt, was the right thing. So a few months later my dad asked me to take a walk with him.....we walked for a while and finally he said, "so son, you're still going to marry Carolyn?" I said, "yes dad I think it's the right thing to do." My daddy stopped, turned, and looked me straight in the eye, raised his eyebrow and stated "well, you've had a lot of bright damn ideas in the past son." He started walking again and he says "ok, I've said my peace. If you're going to get married, I have one piece of advice for you. Once you're married, if you want to go do something......go do it. If you want to play golf....play golf. If you want to go drink beer.....go drink beer. I don't care what it is, if you want to go do it....you go do it. If you don't, you'll be underneath her thumb the rest of your life."

I didn't listen to him however my second wife doesn't mind what I do.......
