Football or sex? Genuinely asking. As I sit here waiting on the god damn football to be finished so my DH can come to bed.

11 mins added time go to sleep

iamnotalemon · 25/08/2025 21:57

Clearly football but who cares, go to sleep

AntiBullshit · 25/08/2025 22:26

Entice him and see which he chooses

dontforgetme · 25/08/2025 22:26

Sex at half time.

booboohoohoo · 25/08/2025 22:26

My man would choose sex 100%

Pepperedpickles · 25/08/2025 22:29

I wouldn’t fancy sex with someone after waiting for them to stop watching the football. Just write it off and go to sleep.

AhBiscuits · 25/08/2025 22:30

They are equally important for my DH, and also the only two things that bring him joy apparently. Men are pathetic.

This. It’s about as aphrodisiac as a cup of cold sick.

Dontlletmedownbruce · 25/08/2025 22:33

Sex when there is no football on is a very different thing to sex when there is football on. Even if DH could drag himself away he would be totally distracted and mentally replaying penalties or whatever so it would be a no from me.

Nourishinghandcream · 25/08/2025 22:35

Would not happen here.
Luckily my OH detests football (also rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, F1 etc) as much as I do.😁

itsachickeninnit · 25/08/2025 22:39

Mine would choose football every time.

Confusedhormonal · 25/08/2025 22:54

Football wins all the time. My holidays are very much dictated by home games as he is a season ticket holder. It used to be all games. But I got fed up with my life and weekend plans being ruled by 90 minutes.

desl is now he goes to all home games and away games he doesn’t watch if we have plans. Also summer breaks and international breaks he is mine.

thankfully it’s only one team he watches and doesn’t care about other sports

FknOmniShambles · 25/08/2025 22:56

If its the Newcastle game, you need to cut him some slack because it was a banger!

Pastaandoranges · 25/08/2025 23:48

Mine doesn't watch sports much and hates football. One of the main reasons I have stayed for so long despite his many other faults!

WrylyAmused · 26/08/2025 01:36

If you want to trade him in, go for a nerd/geek, and you won't have to compete with football.

A couple of girlfriends have liked watching rugby, but the boyfriends have been a thankfully football free zone!

TwinklyNight · 26/08/2025 07:02

Sex.

I don’t know why anyone thinks a ‘nerd/geek’ wouldn’t be interested in football!

I agree! My DH is quite geeky (eg he is good at maths, worked hard at school, likes to keep things tidy) and he's a football fan.

My personal experience. All my male friends/past/current boyfriends are nerds/geeks (as am I, though I'm not a software developer) and none of them like football.

May not correlate in your world, but it does in mine.

SummerFrog25 · 26/08/2025 07:52

I have an EX who was a multi tasker. At home, not at the pub! 🤣

Tinyyetsatisfying · 26/08/2025 20:50
