Are touchdowns on tv putting your relationship on time out?
If your like most girlfriends or wife’s of a football lovin’ man then you probably feel like between the months September and February that, fantasy football made you think that your relationship was just a fantasy?
Ladies, you are not alone! I am a busy woman. Between work, kids, cleaning and cooking along with everything else in life. Usually by the time I do have free time to spend with my hubby he’s always busy with what? FANTASY FOOTBALL! I mean it feels like Tom Brady & Patrick Mahomes have a better relationship with my man then I do! Like wtf?
For example, sitting down next to my husband after a long day, I ask him a series of questions getting the brushed off version of an answer because god forbid we take our eyes off the Television for a second in fear of missing one of his leagues players score some points....
I get it girls, we all deal with it but what I have come to realize is this... There is no use in being upset about it. What we have to do, instead of trying to steal the attention back from the NFL and Fantasy Football is set a schedule with your guy.
Tell him that he can only have his football days if you and him have date night at least once a week and on those nights he cannot bring or look at his own phone and there shall be absolutely NO mention of Trades, touchdowns, running backs, quarterbacks, points or value of players during any point of the evening.
Oh, and if you’d like to take this to another level. You can even go as far as to type and print out a cute agreement to which you will both sign and date. Tape it to the fridge and remind him one day prior to your agreed date night that he must prepare.
Don’t feel bad if he forgets or even if he seems a little draggy about it all, I’m sure once your both in the bedroom at the end of your date night he’s gonna feel like he scored the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl!
