Hatred of football

I need some help to try and get less wound up and annoyed by football.

Having a lovely weekend both myself and DH have had time away at other activities/ hobbies. This afternoon while we had no plans he’s choosing to watch the football, all fine but he’s then in another room not watching the kids and MIA for 2 hours.

i wouldn’t mind but I have nothing similar, it’s not like I put on a 2hr movie and just ignore my family once a week or sometimes even more. We both go to gym / out for meals with friends /
cinema and I don’t mind….maybe because it’s less often?

It just seems to be on the telly all the time. If its
not cup A, then it’s cup B and so on. It turns him into a mindless drone and affects his mood.

I think I’m almost jealous of football, I feel like he would rather spend his time watching it than spending time with me….which isn’t completely true, if he have plans he’s ok not watching it but if we are just at home i swear it’s always on (or feel like it)

Not really after anything just wanting to
rant!

Anything that anyone is interested in can be made to sound ridiculous if you break it down to it's bare bones. Would you want to marry a man who didn't have any hobbies or interests?

Why not get involved and visit him at half time with a hot dog and some pop corn!

Maybe you and the kids could surprise him with a cheerleading routine.

She could dress up as a maid while she's at it 🙄

Could be worse, at least he wasn’t watching rugby

Agreed now that is boring.
