The football season isn't forever. A lot of guys like to watch their favorite sport. I enjoy watching too but I can't watch with my guy all the time. Make plans with him after a game is over. Something you two use to enjoy doing together. Let him know in a non nagging way how you're feeling about him and you would really like it if he spent more time away from the tube. Tempt him with sex. That might get his interest. If he's not willing to change his ways a little then you really have a problem. Maybe he's bored too. Like with the marriage. Talk with each other when a games not on. Maybe you'll find out what his problem is.

i suffer the same problem with my boyfriend, hes only activities are football and poker. I tried taking an interest in both just to get to spend some time with him but he ends up pushing me away (suppose its not a girls sort of thing he would say.) I do believe he needs to spend time with other males ans prehaps football and the likes are their "bonding" times.
Ive tried to get him intested in my sports and activities eg. surfing, horse riding and kick boxing but he just tosses the eyes to heaven.
Its a good question and a serious problem as I have grown to found out. The answer- im not really too sure. Prehaps your leisure time could be spent productively -gardening or boot sales. Or prehaps even dining out together. Good luck and ill be keeping an eye for others answers.

What i did was purposely sit with him during football games and cheer on whatever team he wanted to lose.He soon gave up watching football all the time.I never had to go to these extremes but you might want to make plans to where you two will be away from the house during most games.My husband will watch a game evry once in awhile now which is fine with me but he knows now that if I say in the third quarter that I need help with the kids then he will get off the couch and help.

Sounds like he does know what to do with his leisure time - he watches football. It appears to be you who is at a loose end and you are being selfish by taking it out on your husband.
Surely you knew he likes to watch football before you got married?
Get a hobby yourself, go and see a friend/ family member.... you could even (and I know this is pushing it a bit here) watch the football with him!
What is it with you people who don't understand that football is bigger than religion? Accept it and life will be much better for you.

Divorce is not the solution. That's far too radical. Change comes about slowly, so you need to come up with a plan that involves some ingenuity and imagination. Only you know what your husband is like and what makes him tick. Or how he could see your point of view for a change. I think you need to consult with friends or other family members on this before you do anything too hasty;something you might eventually regret.

Talk to him....not in the middle of a football game, you will need his full attention. Tell him that you need to have fun too, and that you both need to put more effort into your relationship, because you didn't marry the TV. I don't think he needs to give up football, but he does need to appreciate you with as much passion that he appreciates football. If he is unresponsive then I think you need to take some serious steps to assure happiness for your future. Life is too short to waste away years being unhappy.

hide the remote control or cut the power out. and offer him to play football with you instead in the bedroom! go see a movie, walk in the park, go for a picnic play games together! if not its time for a serious talk, and tell him how you feel that this can cause problems in your relationship. nothing wrong watching football but he have to spend quality time with you too. otherwise he will end up having no wife . take care

Football is not on 24/7 and when it is not on try and suggest things to get him out of the house and into life. Either that or start to like football. Actually that may work go and watch the games and start yelling when a guy gets the ball yell run run run and when he gets a touch down yell " hot digidy damn" that is what my mom use to always say when I was growing up whe the dolphins got a touch down lol

Stop trying, you also do what you enjoy doing. After all he enjoys his football and you don't want him to give up his enjoyment for you, nor you do the same. Mind you, this is the start point of drifting apart...

Walk around in front of him naked. If that doesn't work, get a handsome male friend to come over and flirt, flirt, flirt. If he STILL doesn't notice, you need to consider moving on...or at least talk to him about making dates for certain days of the week that he absolutly must remember and participate in without complaint. If he's not willing, put him out with the trash and keep your handsome male friend around...and sell the TV!
