Are you a sports fanatic that has a spouse who isn't into sports?

Question

Do you wish they would get into it more, attend more events with you, etc... or do you think of it as some time to do your own thingf?

Answer 1

I am not really into sports. Nick however... well... he eats, sleeps, & dreams sports.

He has REALLY gone out of his way to get me involved. So I try. And so does he. He gets games and support and (mostly) genuine interest in stats and info.

I get movies, dinners, and family stuffs.

Give and take... SERIOUS give and take.

Find out what she IS into... what stuff she does like. Make a deal. These deals can really get... interesting... ;-)

I'm in Alabama, and here football is a religion. Our problem is not that one is a sports fan and the other isn't. Ours is that I am an Auburn fan and he is an Alabama fan. Neither of us is too much into other sports. I like watching bull riding and ice skating sometimes and he sometimes watches pro football, but that's about all.

I find that in anything, if one of you has an interest and the other does not, it is OK to do you own thing. As long as you make sure your own thing is all you do, and that you spend as much time involved in stuff together. Also, compromise, take turns attending things the other like to do that you don't and vice versa...

Answer 5

Actually I'm not a sport fanatic, but my husband is. Well he never goes alone anywhere and it's not because I make him take me, but because he wants me to go everywhere his friends invite him. I don't get bored because it's kind of fun.
