Well, there are wives who really support their husabands in the sports thy like even if the wives don't really like that kind of sports. There are others also who don't. They just live their husbands alone or sometimes don't permit them to go or attend to their sports. In my case most of the time I will just let my husband enjoy what he wants to do for sports activities. There are other couples who make it a big issue about this sports thing of the husband. I know of a couple who always had into arguments because the husband want to go to his sports activity and the wife would disagree and won't let him go. Well, how did you deal with this problem? Maybe you have some sweet ideas to enlighten some wives. Thanks for your ideas.

Do people really have disagreements about sporting events? I have no interest in watching sports. My husband knows this and doesn't push the issue. I do not care if he goes to a sporting event or watches it on the television (as long as I don't have to listen to him talk to the television). He is smart enough to know that if we have something planned then he would not be able to go to a game. I attend one game a year with him and that is to his company's night out at the minor baseball team here in Toledo, Ohio. I go to support him with his job and sit out in the sun and burn while he watches the game. We have an agreement of what time we will leave before we go that way I don't have to say "alright I'm sick of this crap let's go" and all is well between us. We don't ever watch sports together because honestly I can't stand someone talking to the television and I like hockey and that is the only sport he won't watch. So our life is good that way. I must say I am shocked that couples fight about going to a game or whatever.

Oh good!! I like that when couples agreed in this area. yes you are right!! there are couples who fight and argue about how the husband spend time in sports than anything else in the house. Well, it depends upon both partners. At least you still suppotr you husband's sports even if you don;t like it. Thanks for sharing.

I have to support him because he supports me in everything I do. Even if he doesn't like it or even agree with it!

My boyfriend loves and plays pretty much everything. Mostly Football and Baseball. and he wrestles. I don't argue with him over it or anything. I love watching him play. I'm not big on watching football or wrestling when he's not the one doing it, but we watch baseball togetheer all the time and when he goes out to play I do what I can to support him. I go out to watch and whatnot as often as I can. Basically just being there is good enough to most men. Just showing a little bit of interest can really lighten up the relationship.

Oh!! that's a good idea. Just being there is a good support even if you don't really feel liking it but since you love your mat, you are always there to support him. That's cool!! Thanks for sharing.

My husband likes swimming very much. And therefore, I do what he likes. In summer we tend to go to swimming pool much more. Besides, sometimes we will have a travel to the beach although I am sensitive to the salty ocean. As long as he is happy, I will be happy. I love China

I don't like sports, so when hubs is watching them this is what I do. Football: I put a helmet on his head and throw footballs at him. Baseball: I put a cap on his head and swing a bat at him. Soccer: I put a net behind him and kick balls at him. Hockey: I put a helmetmask on him and hit hockey pucks off it. My hubs thinks I'm a little too fanatical about sports. Do you? LOL

Mine likes billard and basketball. I cheer for him when he is playing. And he prefers me being there rather than doing housework at home.

Well, it is the other way around for me...I am the one that likes sports (really just basketball), and he doesn't like sports. He has no problem with me watching a game on tv, or even attending a sporting event. Usually he is right there with me. He really gets a big kick outta watching me fussing at a tv screen when the ref makes a bad call, or when a player doesn't do what I want him/her to do. I think that is why he doesn't mind letting me watch every basketball game I want to watch...but I don't push it by watching too many games.
