Guys, I need some honest help..

Ribs, cold beer and some flowers with a teddy bear with an "I love you" card should do the trick.

Step 1: Go get your favorite alcoholic beverage.
Step 2: Get hammered and watch the game.
Step 3: When she gets home smack her on the butt and tell her to go make you a sammich.
Step 4: Profit.

This should do the trick.

Tough situation, I feel for ya bro. If it was me I would tell her that I wasn't going to argue over stupid shi*!!! Tell her next time she wants to go shopping and drag you with her to plan it a little bit better so you can make sure you don't miss the game(s) you want to see. I think she is probably playin head games with you just to see if you "love" her enough to skip the game...even though love has nothing to do with going shopping or watching the Vols except for the "love of" shopping. Tell her she can go do what she wants for the day but you are gonna do what you want and that next time to plan it out and you can comprimise with her...Comprimise can be such a beautiful thing in relationships....

All that being said, if she doesn't listen and is still raising hell on you-Tell her to start packin and get out of the relationship before you are wearing a collar and performing tricks for her family and friends! I will be damned if I ever let any girl control me! (Unless of course it was Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolee ;) )

Good luck and by God GO VOLS!!!!!!

At four months, its a control thing. She doesn't really want you to go shopping, so much as she wants you to kowtow to the demand.

It is imperative that you draw a line in the sand on this one. Imagine three years from now when the Vols are in the SEC c-ship game and she wants to go to the outlet malls to shop for Christmas. You need to set the tone for that right now.

Incidentally, I do not do divorce law, but am willing to learn.

Lol....exactly what I was thinking, LIO....except my hubby is less of a Vol fan than I am. I love my Vols, and on game days, if he is'nt gonna cheer with me I tell him to go-just go! Anywhere, with his friends, whatever. He stays and cheers, and has learned to love the Vols also. Also, he says I have a completely different, slightly scary personality that comes out on gamedays. He is scared of me-her-us!.? lol....go vols!

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?

Speak her language,
tell her she hurts your feelings by testing you and asking you to give up something you love that is not hurting her at all.

Ask her if she would give up shopping for you. She probably has enough clothes and shoes, would she walk out the door over that issue? You would never ask her to give that up because you love her and you are delighted in what pleases her.

The key to a happy marriage is communication and understanding. Tell your wife you would love to show her and explain to her why the vols are something you care so much about.

Anything you can get your wife to do with you, you will do more. I do alot less backpacking than I used to, and I play alot more tennis. I also bought a gun for my wife as my birthday present last year because I knew she would enjoy shooting it and it would help me out when I wanted to go to the range.

I told my wife before we got married that for those 12 to 14 saturdays a year that Tennessee has a game to not plan anything you're expecting me to come to. I missed my cousin's wedding cause she scheduled it the day of the UT/Miami game in 03. My wife bought us tickets to the Nashville ballet(I'm not a fan but she shows interest in my things so i try to show her the same courtesy. Plus they serve drinks and The Nutcracker isn't that bad when you're hammered,)on the day of the Bama game this year and needless to say she rescheduled. This year we scheduled our trip to Disneyland for my daughter around the Tennessee bye week.
So 350 days a year my family comes first but i think I deserve my UT football for those other 12 to 14 days of the year and I think your wife owes you the same.

Set the ground rules early and whatever you do DON'T CAVE IN! I went through this same crap with my ex and ended up putting a booming "Colquitt" punt right in her behind!

Not to be rude but she sounds like she enjoys conflict/drama/fighting. There's no way (I hope) that she got married to you without knowing that Tennessee football is the thing you love most in your life aside from her and your dog, if you have one. I think it's inconsiderate on her part to start a fight with you about this on gameday, especailly considering all the hype that's been building up since CLK got hired. There's no way she didn't know you were planning on watching it today if you're a huge fan. I know it's going to be hard for you to enjoy the game with this hanging over your head but whiskey and grilled meat usually help alleviate that problem. Indulge. Girls need to know plans. Guys don't. In the future, just do something nice for her and spend time with her on Fridays. Something she wants to do. College football saturdays are for you. You need to communicate that scrit.
