For women

Good nite Marge, I am going to bed now, it is 2:00am. I went to sleep and woke back up. Marge diid you notice how they reate you just seen this when I got back on mylot. 79/100 MyLot reputation, have you ever seen this before? I have never seen this? it is like they are grading you. I guess that = to my star. that's theonly thing I can think of.

I'm so stubborn that my hubby has learned not to bother me if it's something I don't like watching. He's tried it, and I've usually ended up falling asleep on him! hehehehe

I would read a book or either talk on the phone or polish my nails. I don't like football but I love basket-ball and base-ball. anything but football.

It's a pain. I tried reading or putting on earphones and listen to music but as my mother-in-law ponted out (she's a football fan) that I was being rude. Then I tried crocheting but it didn't really help. Now he is one of my exes so I don't have to suffer anymore.

I sit with hubby for a bit and make myself watch. I curl up close and enjoy the closeness (and let my mind wander!). If is is an extended game or I get so bored I'm about to die, I will go and get a sudoku book and sit very close to him and do sudoku. He knows I do not enjoy any sport except a few college basketball games, and understands that it is a huge compromise for me just to sit there! He suffers through some shows I enjoy like home decorating. Marriage is all about compromise!

My other half used to be a huge sports fanatic but isn't quite as much compared to how he used to be. Occasionally we will flip through the channels together & he will stumble across a game & will want to know the score. Instead of sometimes just refusing to watch the sport that he wants to watch.. I will sit there with him & watch it. I find sometimes you need to compromise on things such as this. As I know I am sure he doesn't always like some of the shows that I may watch, but he is still willing to sit there with me & watch them. So I do the same in return so that it's not only fair.. But at the same time so even though one may not like what the other is watching.. They are still willing to sit there beside the person because they know it makes the other happy. I know this is how it is for us. So I know when it comes to mine & my other halfs relationship we will sometimes be willing to sit there with each other watching the show the other person likes.. Even if we don't like ourselves. If I am truly not in the mood to watch sports, I will instead allow him to watch it on his own. And do my own thing. I find there is always so much to do around the house, so I will either clean up for a bit or bake something to get away from whatever it is I am not wanting to watch on that particular day. I find instead of trying to start a fight over what the other person is wanting to watch.. It's better sometimes to allow the person whom you love to watch what they want for a bit.. Or to compromise on watching something that the two of us may like. I know that I am not a huge sports fanatic.. I actually kind of dislike it quite a bit.. But I know that sometimes I have watched or even attended football games because it's something that interests my other half. And to me even though I may not like it.. I find sometimes what my other half may like may rub off on me.. Or I can go ahead & sit down & watch a game with him or attend a game.. To see what is so interesting about something such as his favorite sport. I mean attending a game may not help to change my mind or opinion about sports in general.. But I like to keep an open mind & do things that my other half likes.. Just as he does the same for me.. For the most part though we tend to watch television shows or things that we both like together.. If one person is wanting to watch a particular show we are always willing to compromise though at the same time.. Though sometimes of course I want to pull my hair out but.. I think willing to compromise on things is a lot better compared to picking a fight over something as silly as sports. In conclusion.. Even though I dislike sports I try to keep an open mind since I know it makes my other half happy. Though in all honesty we don't watch much sports compared to when he used to be more of a fanatic.. We tend to watch things that interest us both. But I know that if something on television interests him I will flip to that channel & allow him to watch it, as he does the same for me in return.. And if I dislike what he wants to watch I find other ways to occupy my time until the show or sports game he is watching is over! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

I will usually sit with him and watch. we both like football and that is really the only sport he watches except for nascar. we both like nascar also.

When I first moved out of home, the first rule I made was no sports on my TV. I guess I am lucky my husband is not interested in many sports. My father was sports mad to a point the TV took over the household for Sunday Night Football as a child I hated having to tippy toe around when it was on. I don’t mind finding out the results in the State of Origin (Qld v NSW) Football but I’m happy to just hear results on the news. I have a cousin that has joined A grade football, and I keep half an ear out on how he is going. But unless it is his team playing, I’m not bothered.

We do not do sports. Not in this house, the deal is if he wants sports then he goes to the stadium or whatever. If it was that he wanted sports and me with him,then I would demand my own half time activities.

If my husband wants me to accompany him to watch a live game then I will gladly suffer going with him. However is he wants to watch sport on tv then I will go to another tv or go on my pc as there is no way that I will sit and watch sports at home. He knows I don't like sports so he wouldn't really ask me to watch them. He would rather watch them on his own.

I fake it. I pretend to like the sport and make my get away as soon as I can. There is a couple I don't mind watching and they are curling and nascar. I hate football, so i will ask him questions to make it look like I am interested. When he watchs golf, that is like watching paint dry. Usually eventually I can make my mistake and I am back to my computer, housework or maybe even sneak out for a game of bingo.

Sorry for my replay .. but this topic is interesant to me.. Because I don't like to watch sports on TV.. I like rather to watch some movie than sport... or to spend time on the internet.. :) Why to watch some people while they earning money and I don't get anything for that I'm watch them... Does someone watch me when I'm earning..? The answer is NO... :)

Sometimes it happens with me, I don't like WWE at all, but my hubby likes it too much. (I think its the problem with many women)But, I still sit & watch that with interest (atleast showoff that)for some time. Frankly, I had developed interest in that too. Its necessary that u should take interest in partner's interest, otherwise u can't expect same from him. Don't give much time,keep room for self too. All the interest ares will never match & hope they should not,it will create more problems than this.

I go shopping, or come up with a reason not to be home, like visit my family. He hates that and doesn't want to go. he is a race fan so he can sit for hours watching a race. Sometimes I fall asleep- take a nap. My advice is go shopping, even if I didn't buy anything it would make me happier.

I will watch it with him. As a matter of fact we are getting the kids ready to have supper then we are all sitting down to watch NASCAR!

Well I would sit with him but I would not watch it lol I would probably sit and read my Book while he is watching the Sports lol

I will do handwork, read a magazine, arts and crafts, take a nap. I am pleased to be with him when i can, even if I am a sports illiterate.

My boyfriend is free to watch whatever sports he wants if that is what he is interested in. I appreciate it if he asks me to join him, but if I'm not interested I feel under no obligation to do so. I am perfectly capable of finding something else to do. He knows that I don't mind if he watches, and he doesn't resent that I would prefer to do something else. When it comes to my Hockey games, I am glued to the TV for the entire game as well as for the post-game show- for every single game. He watches with me sometimes, but also respects that this is what I enjoy and if he is not interested he will do something else. I have tried to get interested in Football and some of his other sports, but I just don't enjoy it and he respects that.

Well my hubby hates sports, but he watches a lot of things I hate. He trys to make me watch them, but I just get up and leave or read my book. I would think it unfair for anyone to impose on their spouse like that, ans they should be considerate in enough to not do so. I would suggest leaving the house and going out, reading or some other hobby you like doing.

I love sports...man doesnt.. haha. I'd read a book or something while sitting there with him. Its the time together that counts.
