How do I get him to stop being so obsessed with sports?

Question

Its SOO annoying it drives me crazy!!

Everytime he gets the remote or the pc its espn or sports center. His myspace is completely covered in sports apps,he saves sports logos saying the opposing team is g*y and posts them in his myspace pictures,spends WAY too much on jerseys and sports hats,etc..He even wanted to have our wedding above a freakin baseball field

HOW CAN I MAKE HIM STOP?!

Its ruining our relationship...especially since I think its stupid for pro athletes to make as much as they do chasing a ball and teachers (people who actually make a difference) are making minimum wage trying to educate these idiots.

Thats not the point though...

HOW DO I GET HIM TO STOP?!

Answer 1

Dump him for a guy who dont watch sports, and explain the reason)))

Answer 2

You won't ever get him to stop, you should learn to embrace it. Watch some sports with him or make a deal with him. Let him have his sports time, but at a certain time or point in the day, you have your time together or do what you want.

Answer 3

There's pros and cons in your relationship situation. This only becomes a problem if he's letting this sports obsession go to his head that he is abusing you.

You must love him and you knew this about him before your involvement with him.

At least he's not cheating on you and he does have an interest.

If you wish to continue your involvement with him, you would need to break his will of this, not his spirit.

He may just burn himself out or tone it down enough to where you as a future spouse can agree at a level that you can tolorate a small intrest. A good relationship works well if you both have the same intrest.

And that goes for him with a hobby or intrest that you have.

Answer 4

You can not get him to stop....you might as well ask him to stop breathing......................

If you can not love him....the way he is...then you should not marry him.....But..........

You may find that......the grass is not any greener...in another field.

Answer 5

I doubt you will be able to.  Maybe talk to him and try to compormise.
