[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so happy that my DH is not into sports because I can't stand them and it would absolutely be an issue in our relationship. It was an issue with my previous boyfriend who followed all the Boston teams. The one time I sat down and watched a game with him and his friends (and I was probably reading, to be honest, not really watching the game), it totally freaked me out how they all yelled at the TV. I was just like, how can you care this much about something so completely irrelevant to your life? And then when his team lost he would be all sulky and in a bad mood for the rest of the day. Sports was not why we broke up but NO THANKS.

And for the posters intimating that it's abnormal for a man not to be into sports, give me a freaking break. Not everyone has to like sports. DH is a perfectly normal heterosexual man who just happens to enjoy other types of hobbies and entertainment. He has seen games, understands the rules of the major sports, and knows enough about what's going on that he can make small talk at work, but it's not something that he cares to take the time to invest in. We haven't had cable for over three years anyway. OTOH, my best friend, who is a really intellectual Jewish woman and someone I never would have expected to be a sports fan, loves football. People have different interests that don't always align with their demographic characteristics.  [/quote]

I also love that my Dh doesn't like sports. We take advantage of the beautiful fall weather. Last weekend we went geocaching and this weekend we are going apple picking. We actually sometimes plan our outings during games just to avoid the crowds.     [/quote]
