yeah it's the world cup, but i still exist! :(

i'm 18 and living with my boyfriend, and i know how footie crazy he is. but how do i remind him i'm important too?

i tried being subtle...i tried being obvious, but i don't want have to tell him when i want attention. is watching the footie with him Really the only way?

:confused:

he also loves wrestling...probably just as much as footie...but i hate it. if he's not watchin it, he's playin it on ps2. again like the footie, i feel i've tried everything.

:frown:

Not a very good boyfriend is he. Id be well put out if my chap was finding other things to do other than paying me attention.

I supose if i was in your situation, id have to watch footy with him. Either that or go out with some girl mates and forget about men for 2 hours.

Go upto him nekked and say

"You know you wanna tap this... :wink:

"

If he's still watching football, then I'm afriad he's gay but isn't man enough [ :indiff:

] to admit it, using the World Cup as an excuse to not touch you.

I might be wrong but it sounds like you are too dependant on him, can't you have fun in other ways? If not then ask him for a night out or something.

In what way were you obvious? Did you state directly to him that you feel he is paying more attention to the football than you and that this is not on?

i guess i could try the 'neked' tactic :wink:

*giggles*

but to do that everytime might get irritating

Yeah

to be honest, football > you. its a month, get over it, youre a world cup widow, youll live. And to the person who said hes gay, he doesnt sound gay to me, just like most normal football loving men in britain, girlfriend = all the time, world cup = every four years. If i was watching england and my girlfriend stepped in front of the tv naked to try and get me to stop watching, id be angry. Pretty shallow obvious way to try and divert attention, as well as insulting.

I agree with Glory. He sounds like a pretty crap b/f, being honest. I mean, I like a game of Halo 2 as much as the next bloke. Okay, maybe a bit more...

But if I was living with a girlfriend, it'd be almost totally sidelined (unless, of course, she likes to play it too....which has happened....) in preference to doing stuff with/to her.

But if you're keen to keep him; the nekkid tactic'd probably work a treat....'part from that, you could try playing PS2 with him? No? Didn't think so....stick with the feminine wiles :biggrin:

Right, maybe a bit harsh. But did he give you attention before the world cup ? the ps2 stuff sounds gay... live football understandable, ps 2 over sex... no. If you dont like it, dump him, and lay me while youre at it, i'm horny as fooooooook

musicjunki

nah not really. his idea of giving me attention was telling me about the latest game release he was hyped about...not exactly affectionate :smile:

but he has promised to come to bed with me at the same time, instead of 4am as usual, so i guess we're making progress.

thanks for the advice everyone

:smile:

much appreciated

My bestfriend was like that, i used to go to his house and he didnt talk but play on his comp and sometimes let me play.

a relationship means alot more to me than any sport or any thing else really.

Well do you really need attention every time he is enjoying some football? Sure, compete for his attention during the inbetween times, but if there is a game on - whats the harm in letting him enjoy it?

I agree.... the world cup comes once every 4 years and lasts a month, its hardly the end of the world.

My opinion is that you dont understand you are not the only thing in his life and there are other important things - you should have respect for that...

If he went on holiday for a month you would see him less than you do now, but you wouldnt complain - at least you get him after 10pm and before 2pm. :wink:

Unless you are a true football fan you cannot experience the feelings it gives you - this is clearly the case here... Football is a way of life, and one which guys will never give up. :wink:

Count yourself lucky your boyfriend isnt like me, i spend thousands of pounds and loads of time going to watch football at least once a week, simply because for me it is an important part of life, Funnily enough i am single, but i think thats because i am an ugly git, not because i love football. :biggrin:

The world cup is excusable (one every four years as said before), but wresting? I stopped watching that a long time ago

Why are girls so selfish? The World Cup comes every 4 years, you're there every single ****ing day other than that.

Grow up.
