What have you made your wife/husband/gf/bf do so you could watch the game?

as far as bribes i do not condom them. they lead to accomdation with her wishes. Like one day you will be axed to sit through a chick movie starring debra winger and and maybeMeg ryan and maybe a tv show about decorating toy ducks with little clothes. i just hate when that happen.once i was made to go see "An Officer and a Gerbil." Man was i disgusted.

After 12 years of marriage, I am sure you will, one way or another, accommodate her wishes. Call it bribes or peace offerings or whatever. It is money well spent. And there is no getting out of the chick-flicks every once in a while. You can delay and put it off but the request to cuddle and snuggle during a chick-flick is inevitable and cannot be defeated. And falling asleep does not count for time served. Tried that, doesn't work. Suggesting to watch figure skating is a nice alternative to the chick-flick. Usually works and is the lesser of two evils.

A man does have his limits though. I draw the line with Oprah. No way, no how. Won't do it. Can't do it.

I like Oprah when she gift away cars and when she begin a new effort to lose many pounds of off her linebacker frame. hey, i bet she could plug up our middle O line but she is rich and do not need a contract.

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
My gf knows Dallas Cowboys football is the priority. She doesn't like football though, so there's no arguing she does her thing I do mine

When I was married, my wife just left me alone to watch my games.
But Saturday's were her day, so usually went shopping with her.
Though now divorced, she is still a friend.

Dated a lady, Cowboys fan, went to games. But she was also from Philadelphia. Found out she wore an Eagles tshirt under her Cowboys.
Needless to say, we don't date anymore.

Dated another lady, huge Cowboys fan, went to a lot of games, watched others at her place, my place, at bars.
Not sure what happened, don't see each other anymore. She was a little off, a Harley girl, but I would not trade my Mercedes in for a Harley. Lol. But she will ask about going to games. I don't take take her of course.

I had an ex gf that wanted to go shopping with me instead of watching the Cowboys game. I dumped her immediately.

My wife puts on the Cowboy gear on game days. But she knows what game day means to me. She does her own thing on game days and leaves the TV to me. She knows just to talk to me at halftime or commercials.
Been together over 28 years, god I love her! LOL

When I first started dating my GF we came to agreement that I wouldnt bash her Huskers if she didnt bash on the Cowboys, and now two and half years later we are both Cowboys/Husker fans. And now we both get pumped up to watch them play on gameday lol

I break it down this way, there's 168 hours in a week - 165 of them are yours, these 3 are mine.

And my other is, you get to be menstrual for a week, I can at least get Sunday afternoons.

My wife has come a long way in 1 season, she didn't like or understand the game at all when the season started now she yells at the screen, has favorite players and hates Weeden with a passion. She watches every sunday

Honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico it was week 6 of 2012. Had to make sure to watch the Cowboys lose a heartbreaker at Baltimore. Luckily the resort had Sunday Ticket so we didn't have to make too many concessions, besides losing a day of sightseeing.

I've lied saying I have to work so I can watch the game .

As a man with an Ashley Schafer avatar, I definitely wouldn't put it past you.

Watch the Outtakes, particularly the dinner table scene - gets me everytime.

My wife and I do too. My son just started watching the games this year too and it's been pretty cool.

Both of our sons watch when they are able to, but they both work odd hours and are not always able to watch. The Cowboys is just a family tradition with us. If you are in our immediate family, you are a Cowboys fan. Plain and Simple.
Non-immediate family need not apply.:muttley:
