LL....if you had a dog, you wouldn't spend time and energy wishing it would behave like a cat, would you? Your husband loves sports...he's a football fan, so he's going to behave like one. I know, mine is,too. Mine loves to watch sports of ALL kinds...so adapt. Think of it this way, he could have an obsession with porn and want to watch porn all the time...or he could want to go to topless bars all the time...or he could want to chase hookers....etc.etc.etc. So, football is a lesser evil...LOL
You NEED to make time for yourself. Find a way to get some time off...you are responsible for your own happiness.
Don't ASSUME this is going to be a bad month or two. ASSUME it is going to be a wonderful, family holiday time. Do things to make it special this year...focus on positive...I know you can do it! Think of this year as a challenge...it's your challenge to make this the best holiday season ever....and you can!
