My wife loves football. My issue is we have opposite teams for NFL (me Saints and her Cowboys). This sounds like something that should have been worked out before you got married (like who does the cooking, etc.).

For the first 10 years of marriage she didn't like it, but I watched it anyway regardless of complaints. I'm not nearly as into it as when I was single, but I told her it's something I enjoy and I'm going to do it.
Now, she goes with me to most of the Saints games by her choice.
Seriously, why do you even concern yourself with such a petty complaint from her?

Sounds like I will just watch football alone now
What the hell is wrong with that? Better than the nagging and questions, " Why does the man with the ball always run at the players on the other team? Why not run around them?"

Did she know you loved football when y'all got married? If yes, then tell her to Shut up.

You are a world class pussy. It's not about football, it's marrying and listening to a sour slut who doesn't want you to have a life. Why would you entertain staying with someone who doesn't want you happy?
Congrats, you are that guy we all laugh at who's who're runs his life and tells him when it's ok to smile.
Loser!

My GF has team/school loyalty, I don't think she actually cares about football.
She does care about not hearing shite from rival teams/schools, the social aspect of tailgating and watching games, and the fact that watching and going to football games is pretty much as Texas/Southern/American as it gets.
If she ever gives it up my plan is to compare her to SJW liberal types and I imagine that'll solve it.

The reality is you could be doing a hell of a lot worse than staying home and watching football. Tell her to think about that for a bit.

I tell every girl that I date that Alabama football was my first love, and that on Saturdays in the fall, Alabama football comes first. I don't mind missing a big game to do something with a lady friend, but I'm not going to miss an Alabama game to do something with a lady friend. That's enough compromise for me. I always tell them that if it appears things may get serious. Like oh by the way this is what happens in the fall, and that's just how it is.
Basically I put my foot down early on that. Since I love Alabama football and it makes me happy to sit down and watch them play, I really couldn't care less if some girl is watching it with me or not, as long as I'm watching

True. But some more important information. My wife is from a non football watching family. Her dad and brothers do not watch football or really any sports. Sucks that I can not discuss sports with her family when I visit b/c that is easy for me.
My family from Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles, all the way down to siblings eat and sleep LSU/Saints football. We all grew up that way. If we are not watching the game together we text each other during the games and discuss it.
I guess it is a culture shock to my new wife right now but hopefully she will grow into it. It is just a different way of life that she is not used to. But right now I'm ok watching the games alone while she does her stuff.

She's probably getting some strange on the side, I'd watch out bro.

As long as it's not affecting your professional life or your relationship then she just needs to shut up about it. If it wasn't football it would be something else.

I like you grew up watching and attending sporting events. Before I had children I didn't care for anything outside of college sports or the Saints. That changed when my son started tee-ball. She'll come around. Best of luck to you and congrats on the marriage.

My wife hates football too. Along with all other organized sports.
My advice: do your thing and let her do hers. If she can't accept that, then leave the bitch.

I've gotten to where I honestly just don't really care about watching football anymore(not even LSU football). But don't care if my husband watches it. I'll sit on the couch with him and sometimes watch, but usually just find something else to occupy my time while he watches(reading, playing on the computer, etc).
However, I understand that if his teams are playing(he's from AZ so he is a huge AZ Cards fan), he's gonna want to watch the game if he is home. I can go in another room or leave if I don't want to watch.
Marriage is about compromise....and not expecting the other person to change and accepting them they way they are(you talk about her gaining interest, just accept she doesn't....would you want her wishing you lost interest in football?) As long as she respects that you want to watch the games and doesn't whine about you watching them, I say don't stress over it.

I promise you if you get into the social scene to watch the games, your wife will change her tune. My husband watches as many games as he can Thursday through Monday. On Saturdays, he has three tvs set up in the living room, but you know what? My husband is here at home, a room or two away from me, enjoying himself. Why would that bother me? I would much rather him here (not drinking and driving or riding with someone who has been drinking) than out at a bar. Plus, it gives me time to do my own thing.

Our first LSU Bama game together was the 9-6 game. I figure if we could make it through that and all the Alabama LSU games that have happened since then, we've got a good thing going here.
I was there as well....great atmosphere. And yeah, if y'all survived that night (for your sake) and she's surviving the rapeage since then, y'all are good!
