Match goers: How much stick do you get from the missus...

[johnnydawg68]

...for being gone every other Saturday (or every Saturday if you go home and away)? Or do you lay down the law when you get together that this is how it's going to be, take it or leave it? Or have you partnered with women who understand?

LOL

I would love it if my missus complained, would give me the perfect chance to get the PIMP hand out.

To be honest shes just happy im out the house, ya know?

Everytime the Mrs complains about me watching football I merely point out that I could be drinking or gambling heavily instead. This sets her straight.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I understand you 100%.

Except you also drink and gamble heavily...

She knows the score tho, I told her pretty early on in our relationship that I would never love her as much I love Everton, she accepts that and shes ok with it.

She comes with me, home and away. If she can't make an away she will watch it at home or be at work. She knows Everton come first and she knows to never ask me to choose. She enjoys it but whether she's doin it to spend more time with me is a possibility

You're an example to all the youn'uns. Use that pimp hand early and sparingly for the very important things like this, and you will save yourself a ton of grief over the rest of your life.

 

[johnnydawg68]

I guess I've never been lucky enough to meet a woman who understands this. Certain things (very few) come first and don't ask me to choose.

I'm still single.

Blues before hoe's innit.

You can't make idle threats JD, she has to know you can carry it out

And you don't know why you get so much stick!
This will not end well for you.

Great point.

......should sort these things out and set the standards before you get married. Saturdays were always for footy. When courting I didn't see my missus on Saturdays and since we've been married (30 years now) she doesn't see much of me on that day. Sorted.
