To divorce DH immediately for this

[vvviola]

DH is a Kiwi. I am Irish. Rugby is a religion in this house. We usually have a very simple system - when the All Blacks play we both support the ABs, when Ireland play, we both support Ireland. When they play each other, all bets are off.

Ireland came very close to beating the ABs in 2013. The ABs only went ahead in the final minute. I may have not spoken to DH for an hour afterwards because it was clearly all his fault

I am making DD2's halloween costume in the sitting room - and DH is rewatching that game on YouTube. The whole bloody game. And repeatedly saying things like "how did you lose this one?" "So far ahead with only 20 minutes to go..."

WIBU to divorce him immediately? Or at the very least make him teach the DC the words to Ireland's Call as penance??

He is rewatching

YABU to leave him. Make him leave. Right now, sling him out with a flourish and then drop the contents of hs wardrobe on his head immediately. If not sooner.

I just like to watch all their strong, sweaty thighs.

I'm taking notes... Although I think the suggestions of Wallabies supporting next week are really just a step too far

He's now making me tea to get back in the good books

(Although entertainingly, I think living in Ireland is getting to me. In the last few minutes he started shouting at the tv as though he could change the outcome! )

Maybe don't divorce him.

Just send him to spend every night until Christmas in the shed with his laptop to keep him warm.

(Getting to him. I'm obviously conpletely sane)

Buy him an Ireland rugby shirt for Xmas.

And green socks, green pants and a little green pixie hat.

Tell him they are from the dc and the dc will cry if he doesn't wear them all day.

Then take loads of photos and upload them to every social media site and email to all his kiwi friends and family.

He will learn.

My dad and DH Do this all the time. Usually accompanied by muttering about something or other.

I don't think it helps that in the past he has coached some that have gone on to play internationally so seems to think he may have some sort of divine knowledge

As if they can actually alter anything by yelling at a flat screen

Don't divorce him. Just support the Wallabies during the final

You could buy him a pet wallabie named Cooperman.

Change his ringtone to Ireland's Call and then bombard him with calls when he's out in public. Or with his mates.

No need for divorce. Murder, on the other hand...

He sounds like a gloating kiwi, which I have found to be quite a popular trait in my kiwi friend.

Yanbu, LTB.

KILL

I have read him out some of the suggestions. I think he is now afraid to go to sleep...

He he, he probably shouldn't rusk it or he'll wake up with Cooperman the (actual) Wallabie at the end of the bed staring down at him

You could set Waltzing Matilda as his alarm tune

'Change his ringtone to Ireland's Call and then bombard him with calls when he's out in public'. Love it!

Somehow, this reminds me of the time the Wee County were playing the Royal County in the Gaelic (I feel like I'm speaking in code here ). My sister's ex was a Meath man, and when Nan started cheering Louth, he said 'pick a window, Nana, you're leaving '

'pick a window, Nana, you're leaving

Eve That would be a fine example of cruel and unusual punishment!

We have plenty of sports related banter in my house - myself and my husband are both Irish, but I'm a Dub and a Leinster supporter and he's from Limerick and a Munster fan. We also support different football teams - I'm a lifelong Man U supporter (from a family full of Liverpool fans, funnily enough) and he supports Everton. We've both done things like what the OP mentions to wind each other up so many times...

ThIs is stupid and making a mockery of all of us with REAL DIVORCE on the horizon.grow the fuck up

It is a LIGHT HEARTED thread.

Don't be so rude!

I am actually currently going through an extremely acrimonious REAL DIVORCE through DV!

Play the long term game and take the high road Just make sure the dc's support Ireland and treat the ab's with the same contempt that you do when they are playing each other all the time Each and every ab match that you cheer on, get in "but of course if they were playing Ireland we'd all want Ireland to win wouldn't we kids" It will pierce him through the heart each and every time they agree with you.

Rundown25 seriously, your post is completely ridiculous.

I'm sorry if it offended you rundown, I was just joking around.
