I love my husband so much and I feel so lucky and blessed that we married two years ago and I’m expecting our first child. The main problem we are facing now is football. When we were dating, I knew my husband was a serious fan of sports. He follows football, basketball, tennis and all that. Anytime I visited him, he was watching one form of sports or another. I on the other hand enjoy movies a lot. I don’t like sports at all. I have tried to follow football with him and I get so bored I sleep. He has tried to follow some korean series with me and he tries more than me but he also gets bored.
We used to fight over the remote and I am so loud and refusing to yield that many times he leaves the remote for me and goes out to watch football matches. I also hate the fact that he goes out and comes home late and I kept complaining about it. So one time I was home when he brought a new 50 inch television. He fixed the TV in our spare room and during that week he cleaned the room and fixed one of our sofas there. The TV in our hall is 40 inches and I told him to bring the new one into the hall rather. He got angry about it and that became another fight. He is not being fair to me as I am a pregnant woman and I need him by my side. Instead of my husband watching TV with me, he will go to the other room and be watching football or basketball on DSTV.
Then things got worse. My husband started inviting his friends over to watch EPL and all that stuff on the new TV in the other room. They can be shouting loud in the house and even forget that there is a pregnant woman in the next room. When I complain he will say he hasn’t stopped me from bringing my female friends to watch Korean series on Netflix. When he tells me that I feel so hurt and it makes me insult him. One midnight, we argued so much until I got dizzy. My husband panicked when he saw that and he took me to the hospital but it was nothing serious and we were brought home some few hours later. Since then he has been trying to be there for me and I appreciate it.
But now that the football season has started again, it has even become worse. His friends have started coming to our house again and I can’t handle the way they shout all the time. At least with the series I follow on Netflix I don’t have to shout and It is easier for guys to follow rather than football. Please this is a serious issue and I want to know how to let my husband get interest in the series I follow and also some ways to help him be sensitive to my needs as a pregnant woman because he is being selfish.
