My wife doesnt like it when i go. Probably about 20times season (live in London) thing is i get absolutely bolloxed before and after. always have done. I told her when we first got together that i wouldnt stop going to the match so there was no point trying to change it. I pointed out that she should be pleased I am out the house and also that I wouldnt dream of stopping her from doing something she really enjoyed. Shes got used to it but just sighs now. they are such weird creatures.

i am worried for you. Does she ever do anything she likes doing? You' only be out 2hours. How can she justify that?

She's known which side her bread is buttered since the day we met 9 n a half years ago
I remember when I first got my leg over and she said "What's that and what does it mean?" when she saw my 'Nil Satis Nisi Optimum' tattoo on my chest
She thought I was well cultured and worldly until I told her it was a football thing and the Everton motto
You have to put them in their place from day one or it all goes Dave Pearce

exactly
Not living in Liverpool I've only got to go to 2-3 home games a season for the last few years, which she's fine with as I tie it in with seeing old friends and family. I'll watch the rest in the house, which she's also fine with. Actually, she always brings me a beer and some food at HT, normally avoiding direct eye contact until she can make out if we're winning/losing/drawing. If she figures we're losing she leaves quickly, I guess to plan out the horrible evening ahead. Not that there's been many of those this season.
Fortuitously, when I was living in Liverpool and we were doing the long-distance weekend thing, there never seemed to be too many home matches on a Sat. Seriously, over two full years maybe less than 20, with the rest being Sundays and weeknights for some reason. Of those, I probably got to go to more than half but not all, which I thought was fair, even if I moaned about it incessantly and spent 3pm-5pm in complete silence.

Living in the US, the footie is on a 9am Saturday morning - we get every game screened live each weekend on Saturdays and Sundays, so she goes and gets her hair done, manicure, pedicures, grocery shopping - or she'll just lie in bed watching Lifetime Movie Network films, so I don't really get grief for it.
Occasionally I get a "You watch your games on a Saturday morning!" when we're arguing, but other than that, she's pretty sound.
Someone early on has said it before, but if you get the boundaries set early on in the relationship, it's more accepted.
We've been together 8yrs now and when we lived in the UK (Surrey) she didn't mind when I went to watch us play in either London or Liverpool.
First marriage - on our wedding night 7/8/99 we played Utd at home and drew 1-1 - in the hotel room I was watching MOTD - didn't go down well - should've seen the writing on the wall at that stage!

Thing is with my mrs is that she hasn't got any mates and I'm like her only form of communication, I always tell her she can have time to herself and then she uses the 'but I'm alone all week when ya in work' excuse. It never used to be like this I met in 05 and for the first 3 years of relationship I never misses a home game, then one day she just started getting a con on it's got worse ever since. How I got to wembley twice I'll never know!!!!!
Im usually up early to catch the 6:45am game too. I take my son to footy on saturday mornings though (i have to, otherwise he might get interested in them yank sports ;-)) , so often I miss the first half....although with NBC doing the footy now, you don't actually miss much because you can go back and watch from the start or just flick through the highlights. In terms of flexibility, NBC is the best experience I've ever had watching footy. Similar to SKY in terms of quality of commentators and analysis too
