The terms “sports widow” didn’t arise out of vacuum. It’s a real thing! Many wives dread when football season arrives, or basketball, or hockey, or whatever sport their husband’s athletic addiction finds itself adhering to. There just seems to be something about the testosterone surge that switches on during an intense athletic event that captures the male hook, line and sinker.
If this sounds familiar, then you may want to read the 8 ways to tell if your husband is a sports addict:
One: He talks about upcoming games before the actually get here and makes big plans for each and every one of them. He plan everything including is meal, is outfit, and where he is going to sit.
Two: He has a perfectly matched outfit for game day. He usually chooses a lucky t-shirt, lucky sweat pants, or even a lucky wife-beater. He wears this outfit whether it is clean or dirty and if you were to dare touch it, he would have a fit.
Three: He not only knows the first and last name of every member of his favorite team, but he also knows where they went to school, what injuries they have had, and what they like to do for fun.
Four: One hour and fifteen minutes before the game, he opens his first beer and starts to pace. You even might see a bead of sweat appear on his forehead. An edge creeps into his voice and you know it’s not a good time to ask him if he put gas in the car on the way home from the convenience that morning, or tell him that you’re going out shopping with the girls. You know he won’t hear you anyway.
Five: On game day your husband is totally unaware that the dog threw up and that your son has the flu. You know you can’t ask him to keep an eye on your son while you go shopping. You know you’re the one in charge of kids, pets and all other living things, probably until the day after game day.
Six: The closer game time comes, the more he begins arranging things again. He places his cups and beer bottles, chips, dip, and everything he is going to need in a position such that he doesn’t have to take his eyes off of the television.
Seven: Once the game has begun you know he will be sitting in front of that television yelling and screaming and cursing and calling up friends to talk about everything that’s going on. He will make a mess in your living room and will forget where he is.
Eight: One week later he’s still talking about the game as if it was yesterday. That’s how you know your husband is addicted to sports.
Dorthy Weatherbush’s husband is really into sports so she bought him some wall art from FatHead.com. She allows him to put up the wall art that she purchased from FatHead.com only in their game room, which is subsequently the only room he can watch the game in.
