Nice for you that she likes sports. I did the opposite. I don't like going to sporting events or watching them on tv so after being raised in a family where the guys took over the tv for hockey - I found a guy who didn't care about watching or going to sporting events. We all do what we have to do.
Wow - how many restaurant vouchers did your ex give you for Christmas? Last gift I got was 9 years ago and it was a jar of kumquats. Whatever they're for. It was obvious that maggot picked it out. UGH! Mostly I got a kick in the teeth.
