Everytime I'm looking at TV he 'steals' the remote control and zap to the sport channels! One of those days I'll go mad! What to do? Helllllllp

I'm afraid I was not clear enough! This guy I love has his life built around the English Premier League, la Ligua, Bundes ligua, etc ... this is not 18 weeks a year, it's something like 365 days a year... When there's no foot on TV, there's a match at the stadium! or theres a match to play with friends! and even on PS2 with my son... Did I say the son was just like the father?!! I'm in minority here...
I don't want to change him, I want him to be moderate, and for those who said 'as if you didn't know', believe me, in our first years it was more love than foot, and now is foot first and the rest after!!
And no, I don't like football, I tried to watch the matches with the two guys, but I fell asleep most of the time, whenever I didn't, i'm was so bored after 45 minutes, that I'd rather watch Inspecteur Derrick (which is torture) than staying there!
Theres a saying which says if you can't beat them join them, sorry but it's going to be: If you can't join them beat them!

First send your son away to e.g. friends for the night. Dress up in a very sexy football outfit with high heels and let your imagination do the rest......

I'm sure you don't watch any SOAPS or girly shows in front of him, do you? Deal with it, he works his azz off, so when he gets home, sitting down and watching a football game or ESPN is relaxing for him, not some over dramaticized made for tv drama. Lord knows he has enough of that is his daily life at work. The last thing he wants to see or hear is that crap at home.
My advice to you is take a chill pill and learn to like it. Otherwise your relationship is going to go down the tubes. Besides that, Football is not on everynight, and only last about 18 weeks of the year. Its what you are not doing those other 34 weeks of the year that are starting to bother me.
From what I have just gathered he spends 2-3 days per week, 18 weeks a year watching football. That equals 54 days, what are you doing the other 311 days? Think about it like that. You are already controlling 85% of his life. you can't give him 15%.
Damn you must be a nagging b*tch.

I feel your pain! My husband is the same way but also with NASCAR! He will record an entire race on DVR...
So, I made him get a TV for the basement. That is where ALL sports are to be played, they are not played on the main floors of my house!
If you don't have a basement then I'd suggest getting a DVR if you have sattelite tv... This has bee wonderful for us because I can record anything I want while he watches and then I'll go in and do my hobbies for a while! Keeps us both sain!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!! My husband is the same way and when we first met he said i could take it or leave it the sports I mean not me.After marriage that is all that is on the T.V.I made him go and buy me my own t.v. to have in the bedroom.It is so much better.I watch what I want and he can watch sports.He watched a hockey game 3 times one Saturday I couldn't believe it.Just get your own t.v. because they will not give up sports.My husband also gets really drunk watching football and I don't drink,I hate it but we love each other and times go on.Good Luck to you I wish the best,But seriously get your own.

Get to learn and watch the sport yourself! You'll be surprised on how entertaining it is to watch a football game, but I don't know about A LOT of games, I'd go nuts! Compromize!Find a common ground between the two of you, one day you watch your tv and the other day will be his turn.

Another tv wouldn't hurt, unless your desire is to watch tv with him. If that is the case, forget about it, the two of you have different interest. You can express a desire for him to watch tv with you (some program you like) at a different time when he's not watching his sports and express that sometimes you can watch sports with him too, to balance your request.

There is nothing you can do, just accept the fact.
He is the way he is and you knew that before marrying him so don't complain now. If this was a problem for you, you should have picked someone else. You made a choice, now you need to live with it.

being a guy, i also love football. but i understand that my gf doesnt want to watch it every single day. you have to reach an understanding so that he has some time to watch sports and you have your time to watch whatever you want. its hard to get that balance but it'll help you out.
