I'm surprised no one has said anything about this subject.
Here's a question. How do you girls keep your men interested in you when it seems like there is football game all the time?...definitely there's plenty on Sat and Sun.
I've tried being a cheerleader for his team, which seems to be a turn on. But it gets tiring pretending to be into the game after a while.
Romance? Cheerleading for a
Romance? Cheerleading for a "turn on"?? You have got to be kidding. I take it you're a newlywed....
On a typical evening, once I've cleaned the petrified spaghetti sauce from the stove, loaded the dishwasher, bathed the kids while playing referee so they don't kill each other, read to them, gotten them in bed for the fifth and hopefully final time, mopped up the bathroom floor, fed the hamster and guinea pig, set out lunch bags and clothes for the next day, and sent my youngest back to bed for the sixth time, I can't even remember what being "turned on" means.

Does he not pay attention to you at other times? Sometimes the guy needs their space. You should use that time to do your own thing, go shopping our something if your not into football.

Nope...not a
Nope...not a newlywed....been together nearly 15 1/2 years. Both of us think the physical relation side is very important to our marriage. I also like when he does chores around the house...he likes it when I praise him. Understanding that has been key to the longevity.
As for the romance...I'm fairly lucky, except I do complain about football season. He's very into college and pro sports. And they all seem to dominate the weekend when we as a couple have more time for the romantic/physical side of things with work and two kids. I'm not saying romance is bad. It's not, but I'm just a little jealous of the time he gives the game.
I do try to give him this space. He does usually tries to make up for his obsession. But I've never been able to be totally understanding about his "football mistress." :)
we've been together 20 years
we've been together 20 years and ya know he likes his sports, and liked them over 20years ago when we were dating, so when I married him, I never thought that he would give up liking his sports once we got married or started having kids.. It's something I accepted along time ago. Im sure there are things I do that bugs him, but again he knew them and he accepted them. And still does. You shouldnt let something so trivial as this "season" get in the way, before you know it, it will be over.. And all the stress and fighting is worth nothing. Last thing you want is him to go to the nearest bar to watch the game, and some young trophy stroke his ego. Believe me I've seen it happen, and to the ones that always say "not my hubby".
" just my Opinion"
I agree with some of the
I agree with some of the other comments here - sometimes men need to do their own thing, and so do we..............nothing wrong with that. Can't you just wait till after the games are over later in the evening for "affection"?
I think they get annoyed if we are so demanding.......we run the risk of driving them to someone who does not nag so much and is just "easy" to be with......better a football mistress than the real thing......and do you really need that much attention? I would take advantage of that time to indulge in things that he doesn't neccessarily enjoy doing with you................. and let the guy to take in a few games in peace.
Personally, I could not care less about the amount of time my husband spends watching sports...sometimes I watch too, and sometimes I don't. We have season tickets to ASU football, and we go to the home games together with our son, so that makes it fun family time and something we all share.......but I have learned not to try and talk about other things while he's trying to watch the games and just sit there spending time with him. If he wants to watch other games on TV, I don't complain.......I know he enjoys it, and I don't want to get in the way of that.
Lord, I wish I have this
Lord, I wish I have this problem. My problem is I can NOT get my hubby's hands off of me no matter what. I can be so ugly yet I still turn my hubby on. I don't know why that is but he does drive me insane!
He is a former NFL lineman (LA Rams early 90's) and head coach for AzFL.

Well , some men are always Horny and want it from wherever they can get it.. Luckily for him , you there to give it or he maybe looking else where!

LOL to be honest with you, I have asked him to find a horny partner and leave me.....I told him that we are not at the same sexual intensity level. I love him but I just can't handle his enoromous sex appetite....!!!

well, if that's your thing,
well, if that's your thing, your husband fornicating with other women.. I'm not sure if your serious or just being sarcastic, but with this day and age, there are alot people out there that find nothing wrong with it.. I myself think it's immoral and contrubutes to the problems with have already in society..of broken families, children hurting and people withnno integrity, self-repect, loyalty and I could go, but would it really matter.. You might just find a mom on this page that will help you out.. again i wouldnt be surprised!

fornicating with other women? Is that a statement meaning cheating on me behind my back? If that is so, no - he is not.
Don't worry about us....we're still good one way or another.
Thanks,

I thought you said: "I have asked him to find a horny partner and leave me"" . Was that not the words you used??
Fornicating could mean cheating on you behind your back or it could mean that your giving him the ok do it...Either way i was just replying to what you said.. You cant think that if you post stuff on here that your not gonna get some sorta reply.....And i do like to call it what it is, others say "affair", I say fornication, cause that is what it is....

hmmm... I did NOT asked for being preached based on your beliefs and rash assumptions....soooo....let's end this discussion as I am truly not interested in adding the fuel to the fire you're trying to build. Thanks.

Not preaching, just responding to what you said... I don't know how what you said, can be taken any other way.. I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or not..When you said that you told your husband that.. But, it's your life and your family....

My bet is that she was simply being sarcastic and funny -- trying to make conversation, like most of us on here are. You might want to let go of this thread.....

Go get a pedicure or do the grocery shopping while he zones out on sports. He could be doing worse things. It gets old sometimes seeing my husband sitting and watching, you name it. My daughter and I moan "Not golf! "Not Nascar!" But hey, he is home on our couch and not somewhere else. We love him home and we just run errands or watch another TV, or read a book. Go visit a friend or your mom or sister/brother.

I usually go shopping or walk into the room naked at halftime, try to be his halftime entertainment, sometimes he misses the second half and never complains.
