We all have addictions, some worse then others, but they're there. I have a shopping and returning addiction, Macy has a Dora addiction, Raegan has a birthday party addiction. We have multiple "birthday parties" set up around the house daily. Kurt has a sport addiction. More specifically, a football addiction. I loose him every winter to NFL.I'm not going to lie and pretend that it doesn't bug me, because it does, but I've come to the conclusion throughout the years that it will never change, and our family will continue to be ignored (not purposely) during football season. Kurt has football on continually, and not only does he watch every game, he watches Sports Center, PTI, and all those other awesome sport shows all night long.
I have tried to embrace it, learn the game, and watch it, but I find it horribly boring and I just can't do it, it's like asking Kurt to scrapbook, or watch Dancing With the Stars. He doesn't want to do those things, just like I don't want to watch a bunch of men line up and crash into each other, only to have to stop, set up, and do it all over again. I hate it.
To all you other wives who's husbands suffer with sports addiction, I feel your pain! I understand what you're going through! It's rough and we've got to stick together in these fantasy football, BYU, NFL crazy times. WE CAN DO IT!! WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS!!
In my self pitying in the past, I've decided to be grateful that he has a sports addiction. There are so many other more horrible, terrible, no good, addictions out there and I should be glad that Kurt is addicted to sports and sports talk rather then any of those other things. So, although I don't always love hearing crowds cheering, and announcers talking throughout my house all day on Sunday, I'm glad he's here and not at the bar.
