I am sorry to all sports fans, but I am just not interested in sports.

you are entitled to complain just as he is entitled to watch sport. if he's keeping you awake that's a problem to be solved by asking him to keep the noise down. otherwise that's just something you have to accept as that's what he likes doing. if you're feeling neglected then ask him to plan a romantic night once a week/fortnight. not unreasonable. if he's using it as an excuse to avoid being with you then you need to talk.

If it is after you have gone to bed, and he still gets up for work in the morning, then it is only him who will suffer.
However, if he is watching sports while you are there, and could be spending *quality* time together, then you are well in your rights to say something - don't cause a major row, just let him know that you are not happy with the constant sport watching, and that you think it will be nice if you could spend some time doing things together - even if it just watching something on TV that you both enjoy.

Of course you are entitled to complain... but what is it that you want him to do instead??? Is it something that you can be doing at other times??? What's occupying the rest of his time???
If you complain about him staying up to watch sports and you dont' have something else in mind, you're only going to sound like a nag. At the same time, whever you have in mind, if it can be done at another time, he will still think you are nagging. If he's doing stuff with you at other times already... guess what... yup... he's still gonna think you are nagging...
The result??? Short term... he will stop watching sports. Long term... he will find someone who won't nag him about watching sports.

We all need our individual space and interests to keep us happy and sane. My hubby loves to compose music, and when he has a tune in his head - it can take a full month of evenings at the keyboard. I have learnt to watch movies, read a book, surf on the Internet or spend more time with the kids to fill in the time. And when I really want to distract him, I pamper him with scones, his favourite drink, a foot massage, or I sit by him and caress him. He usually gets the message and will sometimes come to bed earlier to spend time with me. Nagging never works, don't try it.
Find yourself a hobby to do when he is watching his sports. That way, you will be so busy doing your own thing, you won't notice the time and his absence. However do agree on your special time together - ask him to include you in his weekly programme of activities. Make him suggest a night or two when he will do something with you and he must keep his promise. Also try just being inthe same room with him when he's watching his sports, doing your own thing - be it listening to your mp3, reading, knitting, or whatever. Your physical presence will be acknowledged and remind him that he has you to play with him too. Don't despair, you can turn this to your advantage.

If he ain't giving you the attention you want, then YEAH, complain...
Bet it don't get you anywhere...
Wear a Cheerleaders outfit and ask if he wants to make it with a Cheerleader... See how fast he moves... ;)
If you think he is staying up too late, then entice him away from the TV with an alternative offer... ;)

'entitled to complain' - you're in a relationship not a contract. go get married if you want to ask somebody's permission for what you do.

In life there is a balance with everything...if this is a hobby he enjoys, you find a hobby that you enjoy...then schedule some time in for each other by agreement

Instead of complaining why not try to get his attention in another way!!
