She knows I am a huge Vol fan. As far as the shopping goes, it's an hour and a hlaf away. so we would be back around 6 with her. She's playin the sacrifice game, and all? I mean, this is the worst fight we've had yet. She thinks that this game is more important than spending time with her...uh~

You could play that game too – She thinks shopping is more important than spending time with you.

Sigh. All this talk of dirty clothes reminds me of a bunch of stuff I need to do before the game comes on.

See y'all later.

GO VOLS!

well i take my vows very serious. I believe in one marriage, and I will do anything I can to make sure that I only have one. But I mean this is something that she knows that I love. Its one time on a saturday and she cant see that I want to watch this game and that is has nothing to do with how much I love her

Women can be completely crazy one day, and completely rational the next.

Last week I bought a flat screen TV to put over our fireplace. I had been very careful for the 2 previous weeks finding out exactly how much it would cost (buying the TV, the mount, the shelf, the cable and electrical outlet installation, getting estimates at multiple stores and electric companies...)

Eventually, I found out that the total cost, including electric installation, was $1750. I asked my wife, last week, if she was okay with me spending that much money. She said yes. So, I took care of everything. It actually ended up costing about $100 less, and I got a free HD DVD player with the purchase, and a $30 reward card from Best Buy for the purchase.

My wife's reaction the day after I bought it: "WE SHOULDN'T HAVE SPENT ALL THAT MONEY! WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!?!"

That's women for ya....

I've been married 3 times, the first 2 were a nightmare, fighting all the time over stupid crap. My wife was married twice before with the same crap. We've been together for 12 years now and we don't fight. Don't get me wrong, we disagree on things, we just don't fight about it. Fighting doesn't solve anything, it just hurts feelings. You've got to learn to agree to disagree and move on. Everyone is unique, so you're going to have differences. My wife loves football, so we are good there. I love basketball she doesn't, she loves baseball, I can't stand to watch it, but we compromise and watch a little of both. Talking is important, and doing it with out escalating into a yelling match. Just my $.02.

So I have been married for 4 months. Sure, it's had it's rocky bottoms but this morning it just got alot worse. My wife, wanted to head out and go shopping today. She wanted me to go with her, and when I didnt show concern for going, she made me feel horrible about it. Say's I would let her walk out of the door over football. That I would rather spend the day watching football than with her my wife. Football is only a few short months out of the year. Is it so bad for me to want to stay home and watch this huge game? It was a huge argument and she just left very pissed off at me. NOT GOOD!!!

What in the world should I do?

Why did you not lay this foundation of UT football passion prior to the marriage?

Any kids? - if not, file the papers before you get in any deeper. Marriage mulligans are commonplace.

Can't tell you....I've never been faced with "If you loved me you would go shopping instead of watching football". My wife is secure and sane.

Just to remind her how much you care, I would send her a txt message everytime either TN or FL scores. Odds are... you'll be texting with her all day while she's shopping!

I didn't think that me and my wife were going to make it after that first year of marriage. We are both hard headed. But we learned to give and take. You are not in a win-win situation. If you stay home and the Vols pull of an upset, her being upset is going to take some of your joy away. If the Vols get slaughtered and she is mad at you, you will be miserable and so will she.

I don't envy you, but it sounds like a typical 1st year marriage obstacle.

I am shocked at the outpouring of advice for you. So far 10+ pages of Vol-pinions. Good luck. Hope you make a wise choice.

BTW... made my wife sign a prenup before we got married. Included in the terms are that I get Saturday's free from September thru January, I can golf 50 times a year, and I get to have sex twice each week... just wish that she was there with me to enjoy the sex part.

Saturday football, Sunday her.

Like others have said, this "Saturdays in the Fall" thing should have been worked out pre-wedding.
