AIBU that football should not affect your mood

[EvertonSuck]

Everton have just lost. I now have to deal with a very pissed off husband - AIBU that my husband shouldn’t get too emotionally invested in something he has zero control over?

I’d understand a little bit more if he actually played on the bloody team!!

Ew, so unattractive. YANBU at all.

Lost? It's not even half time yet.

How pissed off is pissed off?

I completely understand being disappointed and it brings your mood down a bit but not enough to ruin an evening etc

Apologies I’m not actually watching. He just stormed through saying they had lost so assumed it was full time

I’m a football fan and follow my team but I wouldn’t lose sleep over a poor performance, or let it spoil my
evening.

Never met a football fan who didn't strop about like a toddler when "their" team lost. It only seems to appeal to people who struggle with an adult emotional reaction. After all, look at the spikes in DV when the national team lose. Instant red flag for me if they have anything more than a passing interest.

No advice but I'm in exactly the same situation.

He's basically told me he's going to stay in bed all weekend 🙄🙈

It's utterly pathetic.

I despair.

I have a scar on my lip due to getting caught up in a fight at a pub when england were in the world cup semi final in 05/06?

They basically went mental and started flinging glasses around and one smashed on my face. So YANBU I cant stand it, even on a smaller scale.

Ridiculous, my husband has had a season ticket since he was 10, is high up in the Supporters Trust, travels to Europe with the team. This has not been a good season When the match is over, he is able to function as a perfectly normal human.

Ahh I feel for them. They’re fighting relegation and this game would’ve made them safe if they’d won. It’s a high stakes match.

Being passionate about football gives people (men, largely) a socially acceptable and very regular reason for different types of bad behaviour - swearing, getting angry, sulking, drinking too much. You’d almost think it was less about the game and more about having an excuse for these behaviours.

So glad I married someone with zero interest in football. I have friends who have husbands who get in a strop, it's so unattractive, like being married to a toddler.

You should have been in Scotland when Glasgow rangers got beaten last night in Wendy all in Spain, by a German team. No I don't understand it either.
Work on the construction industry and the absenteeism after a Glasgow rangers or a Glasgow Celtic is appalling. They are either drunk because they won and are celebrating, or drunk being gu''ed after losing.

Utter losers.

YANBU but just for context, everton pretty much needed to win this game to stay in the premier league. It's looking to be unlikely that we will not be relegated. Fellow everton fan here but he is still being unreasonable ofcourse! He shouldn't let his misery bleed into the home 🤣

I have met several.

DH is a die hard Liverpool supporter. When they have down appallingly he's a bit/quiet down for a short while but none of that sulking or angry aggressive shit.

As others have pointed out, it’s half way through the game. Of course a fan is going to be invested.

For more context, Everton have been in the top division on the football league since the 1950s (the second longest run since Arsenal) but are at real risk of being relegated this week. It’s certainly a very big game for them.

I do think people whose whole weekend is ruined if their team lose are a bit pathetic, but people becoming emotional during and in the immediate aftermath of big games is understandable (depending on how that upset manifests, of course, and assuming that it’s not a particularly regular occurrence…which I doubt it would be for an Everton fan).

Come on Everton!!!!

Sorry that was in response to @Onlyforcake

Years ago I lived beside a fucking arsehole who would come home and kick fuck out his wife when Rangers lost a game.
I was in my early twenties living alone with dd. He would kick my door and call me a Fenian bitch until one time he done it and my brother opened the door to him. He tripped down a full flight of stairs and never looked at me again.

Hmm it's okay for it to affect your mood, and be sad or upset. In the same way I'd be happy if we wond gold in 100m in the Olympics, or sad if say Emma Raducanu was knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round or lost a major final.

Dp and I support and watch football (and many other sports) and will be sad and upset over certain results. As fellow Everton fans this is a big game and loosing could mean relegation, so I can in some ways understand why he's particularly upset about the current score line. We don't storm around and sulk about it though if the score isn't what we want.

I have a friend in the police who worked in the Domestic violence unit, its a well documented fact that DV incidents go way up after football matches, especially if the local team lose so YANBU

It’s only half time.

My husband supports Arsenal, so on Sunday one of us will have a happy husband and the other a grumpy one.

Tell him Burnley just scores, that might cheer him up.

(don’t do this)
