Your husband comes home from work a little early and he's in a great mood. He hugs and kisses you and is smiling ear to ear. He's a little more cozy, lovey/dovey than usual...and you are thinking: "Wow! What a nice treat!". Not that he's usually an a-hole or anything - there's just a usual hustle and bustle to the evenings that seems lifted on this particular night.
And then it hits you - his football team is playing tonight. As soon as that tv goes on, you will cease to exist for the evening in his mind. It isn't a special treat! It's Monday night football!!! Grrrr.
As the game starts, you think, "This isn't so bad. As soon as I get the kids to sleep, I'll have the whole night to myself! I'll read...no, I'll watch tv in the other room, no the baby is sleeping in there...so, I'll read... or work on a long overdue project. The possibilities are endless really, and it's great to see him so happy.
And then the other team scores and you remember that if his team loses, he won't be SO happy anymore. And, it looks like his team is gonna lose. And suddenly your night seems kind of bleak, and you're not sure why- because you don't even really LIKE football. Most likely you will go to sleep long before he makes it to bed, because he will probably fall asleep on the couch watching highlights.
Anyway, just wondering if this sounds at all familiar?

This is actually funny but true and more common than anyone else may think. :) I have to put a smiley face a the end.
Oh yes, way too familiar..... Hope your new air conditioning system has kicked in. Renee
I always say "we now interrupt this marriage to bring you the football season".
Ha! So funny and so TRUE!
