How to deal with a football obsessed DH?

[Cheekychops84]

my DH is totall obsessed with footy:( he will not only watch his own team but every single match which could be a Wednesday night 2 matches Saturday and 2 Sunday as we have sky sports which he pays for. This means we do nothing as a family such as cinema swimming park etc I do it alone which is tiring as we have 3 DD's youngest is 4 weeks. If football isn't on he is v good but during the season it's up to 4/5 matches a week. It's getting me down . I've spoken to him about it , raged about it, stayed out all day but nothing works he jus doesn't compromise :( .

Am I being damn right selfish? Or shall I grit my teeth and get on with it? I dnt want to say we split because of that stupid game of football as wen it's not on we are doing fine ?

Get someone to babysit for you one evening so that the two of you can go out and seriously discuss this, face-to-face, out of the house.

As for the trip on Saturday, it sounds Catch 22. You've said he doesn't like your family but I presume you've invited them because you know it's 99.999% sure that your husband won't be going so you'd appreciate some adult company.

Why doesn't he get on with your family?

He doesnt dislike them but he wouldn't go out of his way to come to family things I go to his family things but recently I have stopped I dnt go to his family parties etc as I was getting fed up. The reason I asked if my dad and bro wanted to come was so he has some male company but look like that backfired.

Look, this guy is a lazy, boring loser.

He spends the best part of the week watching TV.

That's not a hobby, it's just being a couch potato.

I don't think it would be at all drastic to hope for a more interesting life for you and your daughters, without this TV addict sitting in the front room ignoring you all.

The football season is practically year round these days, so this is just who he is - a boring, no-mark who wants to watch TV all the time and doesn't give a fuck about his family.

I know it sucks and I've had it :( well I've had some good suggestions I'm sure once littlest DD is weaned I will get back at him off by going out on the p**s and meeting someone nicer
