The fucking football season has only just started and already has become the third person in my marriage. I can't stand the game. It's full of arrogance, sexism and, frankly, is incredibly boring and perpetually disappointing.
My DH loves it. He plays, coaches one under 16s team and one under 12s. This week he's out coaching / playing 3 evenings and one entire afternoon. Every weekend during the season, football takes up entire Saturday's (DC2 training am (DH coaching), DH playing pm) and Sunday am (DC1 playing, DH coaching), not to mention all the emails, management meetings, club bar shifts etc.
I do my own thing. I like my space, independence, however what never fails to piss me off is the general expectation that this is just how it is, totally acceptable and not even worth letting me know or discussing.
DH writes all the football fixtures down on a calendar, which I always forget to look at (because, hello, it's football therefore very low down on my radar as I find the whole thing boring and tedious AF), however fails to actually speak to me about matches, dates, times etc.
Then when I challenge him, or just question the fact that he's out three evenings a week in a row this week, he kicks off. I can't say ANYTHING negative about it. I am officially the ball-less third wheel in my relationship.
I may be BU, however I had to get off my chest that I FUCKING HATE FOOTBALL, I HATE IT.
