When I say I hate the game, I mean I HATE the game. Period. I've never liked it. Never will. End of story. When I know he abosolutely hates something I don't harp on about it. He hates chick flicks, I don't subject him to them and if he comes in while I am watching one I don't discuss it with him other then to say when it will be over and he can have the TV back. Not him with foot ball its always...did you see.....? arrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!

Consider buying another television set. Take turns between use of the one with bigger screen. As far as why he keeps trying to talk football to you when you've clearly stated you hate the game you need to break him of the habit. An effective technique in breaking any negative pattern of behavior is to identify something he really hates. It could be the sound of a barking dog...what ever--but WHEN EVER he starts with the football talk---start barking like a dog and don't stop until he stops talking about football, if you use this technique consistently his hardware in his brain will link football talk to you with the obnoxious behavior you implement to deter him. Negative response...JOLT IT UP!!! ..who cares if he thinks you're crazy, ( you know you're not) and if it ends all that football talk you score the final goal! Good luck sister!

Girlfriend, he's sharing with you. It may be about football but none the least his sharing. Show some interest. There are many other woman out there that would listen and have input even if it is stupid.If u was to find out he was talking football to some other woman u would be hurt, crying full force drama. Football excite him. Give it a try a betcha he will even watch a chick flick with u. Come on your a wife stay on top of your Game.

Take it from a woman who LOVES football. He isn't trying to get on your nerves or bother you. Watching football is more fun when you watch it someone. He is only trying to share the joy and excitment of watching a football game with you. If it bothers you that much, do something else while he watches the game, Secondly, you can try to find a football team or a player that you like. Sit down with your husband and watch a game. It's fun and it's time that the two of you are spending together. Try it!

I see a red flag here. If you want your marriage to stay healthy and happy, you must understand that what your husband LOVES, you must tolerate with kindness. He should do the same for you. If he loves sports, you should listen to every exciting thing he has to tell you, smile, and say "I love you." If he loves you, he'll take you to a chick flick now and then, or at least listen as you describe the latest one. I have been married to a football fan for over 30 years. I don't particularly enjoy the sport, but I have learned all the rules, the players of his favorite team, and I have attended enough games at the stadium to appreciate the game now. I'll never love it, but I love my man. Marriage is all about COMPROMISE. You need to get started. You can hate the game, but if you love the man....listen to his exciting accounts with patience.

He does this because he like it so much and he wants to share things with you. If you start shutting him out about football then soon he will stop trying to talk to you about anything. That is the last thing that you want to happen. The key to a good marriage is good communication. When you shut him down over and over again, he will eventually stop trying to talk to you at all. I understand that you hate football, but can you not just sit there and listen to him for a few minutes, talk about something that he likes. I bet that there is something that you talk about that he could care less about, but he listens to you because he loves you. A marriage is about compromise, a little of give and a little of take. So in this situation you must take a few minutes of your time to listen about football, it will not kill you; it may bore you but it wont hurt you.

Ok honestly, my fiance' does the same thing. Although I don't mind football. He feels the need to talk to you about football because it is important to him and it's something he enjoys. So, with that being said, he probably feels that he should tell you how he feels about something he loves. Sometimes it's best to acknowledge him, nodd and say ok that's great. Because when your in a relationship you both should be making sacrifices in regards to what each other likes and dislikes. Hope this helps.

He wants you to hate the game for some reaason. He likes the attention you give him because of that. He hate chick flicks? Talk about chick flicks, see how he likes it.

He's a man, ain't he? Just try to be patient, act like you're interested for a minute or two and he'll stop.
