My husband does not spend money on sports because we don't have any, but I still feel like he is obsessed. He watches it on TV, he reads about it on the shitter, he reads about on the internet, he reads about it in the paper and he listens to it on the radio. he also talks about it nonstop the moment he encounters a man. I'm just getting sick of it, but I feel like the more I complain about it the more it pushes him towards it.
Are there any wives out there that have obsessions their husbands complain to them about? (don't say shopping).

So, let's see...He's not screwing around on you, he's not lying to you, he's not blowing the household money on stupid s%^&? He comes home to you at the end of the day, and just wants to watch a game??? That's the problem??? Me, I don't watch that many sports on TV, but, hey, everybody needs a hobby. So your man doesn't beat you, and waste his paycheck on hookers and blow...you're just upset that he likes to watch sports? He isn't obsessed with downloading porn constantly, and expecting you to preform to that level? Sweetheart, you got NO complaints...grow up.

I'm a sports widow too, hahaha, but I deal with it much better than I used too. My husband is home watching a football game as I type this. I say if he loves you and is good to you, then gee-whiz leave the guy to watch his stupid games (or read about them) and find something to occupy your time. I'm not saying to go find something to become obsessed with but to give him some space to enjoy something that he is so passionate about. For me its a small price to pay for a very happy marriage to a man I love enough not to nag.

Stop the laundry, stop the cooking, stop everything that supports his lazy obsession. In other words "go on strike". If you grocery shop - nothing for him to snack on - only things that must be cooked from scratch. Make "ON STRIKE" signs for the yard, but stay inside watching lifetime in the A/C. No need to exert yourself marching in the yard for him. Talk about child molesters loudly and the other sick lifetime stuff on the phone in the room he is watching sports. Give him as good as you get. And when he gives you that dumb "HUH". Ask him which game is the most important on Sunday. Then make an appointment to talk without the TV on for the entire length of that game. If he says no, go back to the phone and shout your lifetime discussion to no one on the other end. Drive him as bats as he is trying to drive you.

My ex complained that I was too into trying to find my own business, I guess that was my obsession. Everyone has something that peeves there significant other. Just make sure you find something to occupy your time so you can ignore him just as he ignores you. Then he may get mad and you'll have your day of revenge.

I can empathize with you-but I love sports, too, so I'm right there watching along side my husband.
You just have to find other things to do or to entertain yourself with. It doesn't have to be shopping, either.

It is one of the things that destroyed my marriage. They call us sports widows. One night I sat down in front of the TV and actually said "Hey, didn't we watch that same show last night only they had on different uniforms?" He didn't get it.

When he whacks you and buries you in the back yard just to get you to shut the f up so he can watch the goddamn game!

Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
