Re: I need some help for my football hating wife
My wife isn't a football fan either but she respects my feelings for it. I in return am not a fan of Broadway which she like to go to with her mom and sisters. You don't have to like the same things but there should be an understanding and support for what's important to the other person.

Re: I need some help for my football hating wife
I thinking pointing out that publicly putting down her husband in a very immature passive aggressive way would probably do it...
Either that or just ignore and buy season tickets and put one in a ring box for Valentine's Day and ask her to go to opening day with you. Like that movie Fever pitch...

Some say that bigamy is a man having too many wives. For OP, that's also the definition of monogamy.
My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Re: I need some help for my football hating wife
That is the rational way to approach this. Trying to determine the nature and direction of a relationship from a single facebook post and sketchy information is a fools errand. However, I'm going to play the fool.
The situation as explained is one person in the relationship trying to change the other more to their liking. It seems clear that the OP loves football and is being told by their spouse that what they like is dumb and forbids him from enjoying what he loves. That by itself is unreasonable in a relationship. When he felt strongly enough that he went against his wife's wishes she publicly flogged him to their friends for not obeying her demands. That is disrespectful and demeaning. Based on this microcosm of the relationship if the rest of the relationship is like this then he should run far and fast.

Re: I need some help for my football hating wife
"Honey, the Ravens' Super Bowl win means a lot to me, as it does to a lot of people in Baltimore. I'm sorry you can't let yourself be a part of this once in a lifetime community experience. I think it is the kind of event that kids and adults alike will recall as a "where were you?" moment. It's a pity that we can't enjoy this as a family memory. I am also personally hurt that you made our disagreement a "public issue" via Facebook. I don't want to stop being a spouse, a father, or a Ravens fan: I think all 3 roles are not mutually exclusive."
That's all I got, assuming your goal is to patch things up. Give her a Ravens Super Bowl Champs something or other for Valentines Day (but for chrissakes make it a cheapie!).
And she gets absolutely no sex from you until a full apology or next season, whichever comes first.
Be strong, man - that's why they invented porn!

If it's an isolated incident let it go. If it's chronic behavior to disrespect you, fix it.

Re: I need some help for my football hating wife
Ignore her and go buy a $30,000 boat so you have something for you and your daughter to share without mom. Nothing happened at the parade and all is well with your daughter, right. Also, tell her that when the Ravens repeat next year, you're going to do it again. That will piss her off. Have fun with the boat!

Re: I need some help for my football hating wife
No offense, but she sounds like a nasty bitch. Divorce.
In all seriousness, some others have given good advice. She, at minimum, needs a serious attitude adjustment. She doesn't have to like or understand football or even other things that you care about, but ridiculing you publicly about them is simply unacceptable. That's gotta change or else things are only going to go more downhill. Good luck.Last edited by esmd; 02-07-2013 at 05:31 PM.
