DO YOU LOVE SPORTS? THEN GET IN HERE!!
Well, I love some certain sports (though not really a fan), but then there are some certain limits I think everyone should have when it comes to hubbies. For instance, someone who loved football while single should create some level of limits to his or her love for football after marriage. Your spouse should not be considered second after football. In most marriages, the wife feels like she is the second wife whilst football is the first wife.
The man gets home,pulls off his shirt (sometimes they don’t even have time to), then runs off to the parlour to watch a ‘very important’ match. Oh guys, this can be very frustrating especially if your spouse is trying to get your attention. We women love attention. We love to see you listen to us talk about how our day went. We love to see you notice that we look stressed (even when we are not actually stressed).
Some guys immediately notice that a particular team has changed their jersey but won’t notice that their wife has changed her hairstyle no matter how much she flaunts it in his face. Some are so addicted to movies that it becomes a challenge telling him anything as long as there is a movie in his face. Some men will tell you the name and story of everything that happened in every movie that is being advertised but they do not even know what class any of their kids are in or the story of how they got there.
I am not saying that you should drop all your hobbies once you get married but please kindly notice how much your wife wants you to reduce it. Discuss it. Find out how much it affects her because in the long run, it affects your home as much as it affects her.
I will tell you a story. I went to visit a dear friend. Her husband was in the parlour watching football with a friend. Infact, most times I tend to subtly equate people who are addicted to a particular hobby to people who drink. This is mostly because, these two tend to create time affection, and attention to friends who love this same hobbies as them. Well, after waiting for a while for my friend to come out, I asked from her husband who just pointed at the room. I went in there to find my friend on the floor writhing in great pain. Alarmed, I screamed out and you will not imagine that the two grown up men in the parlour were too distracted to hear me. I had to rush her out to the parlour and switch off the TV set before I could get their undivided attention. Turns out, my friend got back home with a serious headache and tried calling her husband’s phone to come and help her get paracetamol or at least, help her out in some way as their kids went to an evening service at a nearby church. Her husband said that he saw the phone ringing and thought that she maybe wanted to have a quicksie and didn’t like the fact that she was interrupting his football watching session for sex. She eventually opened the side drawer to their bed and took an old paracetamol that she thought was still okay for consumption. Imagine what would have happened if I did not get in when I did. Thank GOD for the swift action of their family doctor.
Like I said earlier, I am not saying that you should entirely drop your hobbies, everyone has one. All I am saying is this, find out when it is becoming an issues in your home. Do not let it go overboard. Your wife deserves your undivided attention at all non business hours.
NOTE: If you want to find out if you are addicted to your hobby, discover a day that your wife is in a very happy mood, then drop the question; “honey, do you think that I’m addicted to this hobby of mine?” (I wish you good luck with the answer dear).
