Partners just picked football over me?

[Janetsworld]

World Cup on Saturday- England are playing, we originally had plans to meet up and go for a walk in the park and visit some Xmas markets.

Today he said, sorry we need to cancel the footballs on it’s a big game. I had to question if this was serious. He in fact was serious.

AIBU here? I said that I’m annoyed that I need to replan a day out around the football. He disagrees.

If he's expecting the whole day to revolve around a football match at 7pm YANBU

If he's expecting to be able to watch the match at 7pm and prepared to do other stuff before that YABU

It’s once every four years
xmas markets are not that scintillating honestly

Too right!!

I'd cancel my other half for the footie, too!

You can walk and do the markets next week - this game is important to millions of us!

Try to be supportive. Maybe watch with him?

I’m so glad I married someone who couldn’t give a sh1t about ANY football match

I'm so glad my dp is Scottish lol

I'm so glad I am married to someone who doesn't expect me to provide 'entertainment' for him . ... he can watch football, play golf, go cycling or do whatever he likes ... and I do exactly what I like with my free time .... we are not joined at the hip.

My husband is Scottish too and he wouldn't miss the match.

Have I missed the part where it says why you can’t watch it TOGETHER? Or do the walk in the afternoon, football in the evening?

He hasn’t chosen football over YOU he’s chosen it over a walk in the park and Xmas market. Which I can’t say I blame him and also can’t understand why you can’t do that in the daytime therefore getting what you both want.

I echo PP it’s a big game, and we didn’t know until the other day we would be playing with it being the round of 16.

Usually I'd agree but it's the World Cup. My fiancé and I had tickets to a concert Saturday but I'm now taking my mum instead.
I just couldn't get annoyed at a one off.

I think the problem here that a lot of other posters aren't getting is that he hasn't just cancelled going to the park and xmas markets and chosen to do something else, he's cancelled spending time with you full stop. Why can't you watch it together?? Or do something in the day and then he can watch in the evening?? I would be unimpressed personally

Yeah it's a big game, suck it up! I'm planning around it x

It is literally a once in a lifetime occasion.

Usually I’d agree but I think a World Cup is different. I don’t particularly like football usually but wouldn’t want to miss it.

Do you see him once a month or for 10 days a month?
anyway, I hate football so won’t be watching but Dh has got friends coming round and their young sons, they’re all going to watch, ds is so excited.
dds and I are going to the spa 😂 I’ve been every time the england matches have been on and it’s been so bloody peaceful there during those hours, bliss!
I think yabu about him wanting to watch the football over walking through a dark park and round a Christmas market, they’re a tatfest. The World Cup is once a year (plus this is their last match anyway 🙈😜😂).

I can't believe this is a thread lol.

It's once every four years.

Watch it together?

Go for a walk and xmas markets then watch the football later. Isn’t it on at 7pm?

Everyone should be boycotting this World Cup. YANBU

It is a big game. If you can't deal with the fact that this is important to him, or make an attempt to enjoy it with him, you're not compatible. There's no point fighting it.

Do you mean boyfriend or partner- if you don't live together isn't he your boyfriend? I would say if you are concerned by this don't make him your husband as every 2 and 4 years you will be forgotten!

Oh sorry missed that he has cancelled being with you entirely- that's a bit rubbish! My DH has kindly offered for me to join him and his mates and watch it at mate's house after I have seen my daughter perform in her drama group. The alternative is going home to where my teenage son has 7 friends around to watch it! My DD hates it but tbf DH'S mate has a toddler who she adores so we will probably head there.

Don't mind me.

I'm same op.
Spent 150 pound on a Xmas day out with the kids back in September for Saturday, should have being a full day out not back till late, he's now moaning about coming home early for football.

Been there. Years ago now, date cancelled for an "important" game (cant remember if it was a world cup or some other tournament). I was not impressed, he didnt last long after that!

Why has my gif not worked!
