Love vs football: a match made in hell?
continued from page 2
Trade off
You've probably realised by now that the key to an argument-free football fest is to support your partner - either by joining in enthusiastically, or by letting him do his own thing. But this isn't - and shouldn't be - a one-way traffic. Your partner should realise that his devotion to the game is not yours, and that that this is going to impact on your love life.

You've probably realised by now that the key to an argument-free football fest is to support your partner - either by joining in enthusiastically, or by letting him do his own thing. But this isn't - and shouldn't be - a one-way traffic. Your partner should realise that his devotion to the game is not yours, and that that this is going to impact on your love life.
Which means that you can reasonably expect him to be willing to give a little back.
Suggest a routine 15-minute 'touchdown' every day - no delays and no excuses - after the two of you come home, and before he embarks on the football frenzy. That useful little ritual will keep the two of you communicating and will keep you bonded.
Or suggest a long weekend away after the final. That will give you some quality time together - and repair any friction that's occurred.
