Is your husband or boyfriend acting a bit like a diva today? Controlling every TV in the house, hogging the newspaper and the computer? Commandeering your game day schedule? Losing his mind over delays at getting to the stadium?
Well, just for today, let him. Wait, wait, hear me out.
I got frustrated with it this morning, and even threw a little fit. But then I realized just how important this game is, and how much it means to the guys. The only comparison I can think of is a wedding day for the bride - it's something she's dreamed of for years, she has spent hours and hours planning it, she wants all the details to be perfect, and everyone goes out of their way to make sure the day goes smoothly for her. It's "her day" after all! Well . . . if your husband or boyfriend is acting a bit like bridezilla today, keep in mind that he has probably dreamed of this day for years, too. He spent all week imagining waking up to watch Game Day, read the sports section, and talk about every single stat and prediction with his friends at the tailgate party. It's his big day, and he's spent all week getting pumped up for it, to the point of frenzy. Yes, it may drive you crazy, but if he patiently navigated your pre-wedding freak outs over monogrammed napkins, flowers, and guest lists (or if you'd like him to in the future), return the favor today. This is a BIG DEAL to him, so keep the peace and let him have "his day" today.
And, just like the bride at a wedding, he may end up crying before this game is over . . .
