hi Kelly,

thanks for your thoughts. I don't hate football...infact lonf ago I used to follow it...that is until it became something I was not welcome to. H is not only a big fan of the local team but also a season ticket holder...so when I was interested and wanted to attend the important games I was not invited instead his buddie or brother would go with him. The first year we were married this happend several times..the game I got to go to was one that was meaningless and I soon realized that was the same game I was invited to each year (if I was lucky enough)...the crap game against a team that has no bearing on anything. I've offered to buy out the second seat (h could easily hold both seats himself) for the season and sell random games to his buddie or brother to ease the cost.

When the c asked why h wouldn't consider making it "our" thing...h's response was it's something he does with the guys.

At this point I don't really care to choose my extra curricular activities based on h's interests. Since sports is not something I would go for on my own at this point I'm not going for it.

H can sit on the couch (or go to the games) and rott.

There's more to life than work and sports..h apparently knows this else he wouldn't have had much interest in spending time with ow but alas he's forgotten.

I've decided I'm not putting any more effort into the r, I've already waisted enough of my time on that.

fwiw today h and I will be married 7 years...d'ya think I'm itchy.

I know another person wouldn't be much better...I don't have dilussions of being swept off my feet if only h were someone else...I think I've just realized that m just isn't for me but it's too late now to change that.
