" Sundays are for football only!"

United States

I just saw an Mc Donald's ad where a women told her boyfriend about her friend's man saying this phrase and she thought it was so wrong and did he agree. In the ad he had to make up a lie quick! It got me thinking. Does he Really have to lie? And what is wrong with wanting to see a football game? I think once you Have to start hiding who you really like or don't like , the relationship is lost. If he likes football but she thinks he doesn't once the playoffs happen , he will have to lie Just to see the games! These days there are many women like me who love football so for him to lie seems senseless. Would you ever lie about what you like Just to date someone?

As long as the two sides agree. I personally HATE football, and so does my husband. For us, Sundays are made for the Croatian, Serbian, and German radio shows we like on CKWR. If anyone tries to watch a football game around here on a Sunday, they'd better run, or get a shoe up the @$$. I don't feel bad saying that, because if I was in your house, and turned off your football game to listen to my radio shows on a Sunday, I'll fully expect one of your shoes up my @$$. LOL

Fair enough. I have a mixed relationship, my guy isn't intro sports but I am. But we make it work.

I wouldn't pretend to like something I didn't or pretend not to like something I did, but I still might watch a game with him if he really wanted to -- at least once. Or I might provide some food while he and his buddies watched the game. If it was already a pretty secure relationship and he invited me to watch the game on TV, I'd probably say I had something else to do and then find something I'd rather to or needed to do, like shop or cook. I don't think people have to do everything together if they don't really like to do the same things. It's enough to have a few things you like to do together. Of course, I'm an old married lady now and don't think much about dating anymore.

There seems little point to me in lying about something which is so stupid. If you lie about something like that early in a relationship you'll potentially have to lie about it for the rest of your life together, or come clean at some time. It sounds far more sensible to me to just tell the truth in the first place. what sort of relationship would you have to lie about your interests in anyway? It doesn't sound very healthy or fulfilling.

Your last sentence describes my vision of my marriage.

I would make sure! That's why I would never marry a man I love! thankfully my guy knows that! The best way for him to break up with me is to propose!

A marriage is what two people make it. If you feel it wouldn't be very healthy or fulfilling for you, then I'm sure that would become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Noway! One lie breeds another and before you know it...the significant other doesn't even really know who they are dating. It can probably confuse the fire out of the person that lies all the time too after a while. Nope..if they don't want to be with me for wanting to watch something on TV..they aren't meant for me anyway.

I never have lied to be in a relationship. I have in relationships because I was scared of being yelled at (darn confidence problem I had)! I rarely do that now a days but it is a stupid thing to do! If a person can't handle the truth,the heck with them!

I agree! I will tell the truth and if they can't handle it , then they should move on.

Well, since I am not into football, I would say that Sundays are not just for football. But, thats me. If a person is a football fan and I know they are on Sunday, they should have the right to watch the game. Would I lie? No way. If someone doesn't like it, my answer would be, go see where you gotta go. See, that got the Brooklyn coming out.

Sundays are for worshiping God only! but in answer to your question, i think someone has to be flexible. sure my hubby loves sports and watches it but will put his family before sports if we wanted to do something on a Sunday.

Then I will happily go to hell because My Sunday is for both movies and football. If I were forced to Only Worship G-d Every Sunday I would end up Hating G-d! I agree , if it is a regular season game , TiVo and hang out with the family but... a playoff game? let him watch the game. It is do or die!

No...and I had to watch the Vikings game yesterday..someone would have had to sit next to me and suffer through it if they didn't like football.

No I wouldn't and this commercial seems to make lying an okay thing to do, that is purposely lying..Why would I lie to someone I was dating? What if we ended up getting married? Then that lie, it will come out because one can't live with another without the truth being reveal sooner or later and when it does, the one who was lied to, now has no trust or respect for the liar. When there is no trust or respect, the married might as well end..

I agree 100%. That is why I am going to write McDonald's and tell them so and my boycott begins now! Lying is the reason I will never marry. I would have to do a lot of it!
