it isn't just watching football, its the football on the internet, the ps2 football games, it is all he does and he gets upset when I want to do other things besides sit around the house and do nothing while he is either on the computer, playing ps2, or watching tv. I do like watching football with him, and I told him he could watch his Chiefs games.

Girl you just gotta pray for him. Have others pray for him too if it bothers you that much. Whatever you do don't nag. That won't solve anything. No, you shouldn't leave this is only seasonal right? This isn't worth you leaving over. Are you putting God first yourself? Is he seeing you get in the word? You need to be an example. This is coming from a Christian not someone tainted by the world so take my opinion or leave it.

If he's doing nothing but watching football or playing it on the PS2 24/7 it's a problem, he's probably avoiding you, have to find some way to get him to talk to you about what's up with your relationship.
If he's just setting aside Sundays during football season (and maybe Saturday and Monday night), then he's a normal average American guy. He's not trying to tick you off, guys just love football, most guys wish they could be on the field playing, give him some space, or better yet take an interest in it. You'd be surprised how much better a relationship can be if you show a bit of interest in something that's important to him.

I KNOW I WROTE A LOT, but it makes sense.......
It depends. How negatively does his behavior impact you and your family? You need to figure this out first.
Is he being abusive towards you? If so, is he making you and your children unsafe? Is he neglecting things like: paying bills, buying food, keeping car on the road etc. because of his football. If so, he has a problem...maybe gambling.
If he just enjoys watching football and the rest of the week he is a good father and husband, he is doing nothing wrong...No, I wouldn't leave him either. He is normal and just a guy. Most guys enjoy football on Sunday. It's fine as long as his passion for football isn't destructive to you, the home or your kids.

Look you Need to think about what you said really should I leave you are wanting complete strangers to justify your desire that you already have to leave your husband. think hard about what is going on. football season is only a few months a year and yes it is exhausting but can you see a better life with out him ? and are you using God as a way out? He puts football before God ? well come on is that your concern? meaning I am a Christian too but please would you care Half as much if he paid more attention to you? you can lie to your friends but not on line strangers we can read between the lines. What you really want is for him to pay more attention to you and being Manipulative and leaving can back fire I have seen it happen to others ,he may stay gone. If you really want help go to marriage counseling.

If your husband works hard all week and all he wants to do is enjoy a little football on sunday, then I say lighten up on him.
Give him a break and let him enjoy a day to himself. Why don't you sit down and enjoy a game with him, worst thing that could happen is you might enjoy it.
Now wouldn't that be a hell of a thing to end a marriage over.

Learn all you can about the sport. Ask him what his opinion is on something like the Texans choosing David Carr for quarterback. He will appreciate the fact that you value his opinion.

Limit his football time, and spend more time doing family activities that you insist he attends (soccer games, spelling bees, etc.). Also, contact the Latter-Day Saint missionaries (also called--very rudely--Mormon.) THIS IS THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION IN THE WORLD!

Rather, football widows are getting interested in football as well.
Can't beat them, join them.

He needs to control his obsession. Set up with him some sort of limit to all the things having to do with sports or else you are going to go out and spend all of his money while he is watching sports.
