DH has always liked football and watched England and World Cup. And followed along his local team in a very low division and a premiership team.
we have been together 10 years
recently he got back into supporting his team and bought a season ticket for 24 /25. I have no issue with this. He goes to the home matches. But he won’t miss a match AT ALL. everything schedule around it, even holidays and Birthdays. He then goes to al the other matches too that are at home - non league ones. I get its nice to have a hobby and would never ask him not to go but if we get an invite he will turn it down.
Now this year it’s escalated to watching almost every match in tv whatever team. So some weeks there can be 3 football watched on from 7-9 each evening. Plus weekend TV or match.
then there is Saturday - if he is not at a match he is glued to tv.
For an evening match he just puts the TV on and doesn’t ask me and that’s it for 2 hours. Of course I say something non confrontational .
now he started streaming you tube matches onto the TV with a 7pm kick of from very obscure teams. I’m now quite pissed off because if had know I would have gone out.
I have said if he want to watch football to tell me in advance so i can plan to do something. I’m not sure he will though. I often don’t have anything major to watch but I can’t sit in the room with it in it really annoys me (and that is my issue but I am quite tolerant of 1-2 matches a week plus’s attendance at all the home games)
AIBU
YES- YABU football is a nice hobby
NO - YANBU he is too obsessed -it’s not normal level of interest and he is being thoughtless
