How Can I Support His Sports Addiction Without Striking Out?

I love sports just a little so when I told my boyfriend that I was a fan, he took it to mean that we could spend every minute together watch the game. So not the case. How do I limit my boyfriend's addiction without getting in the way of what he loves?

"This happened to me."

My man loves his football! I know what your going through. I try to turn these games into a little fun for myself as well. I make some mixed drinks (light), make party trays etc. But more Importantly, I like to bet against him when it comes to the teams, and If I win he has to please me in certain ways. I think you know what I mean. I just turn it into a special game for both of us. Plus it amps him up to just bet against him and chear for the other team! He gets alittle irritated but turned on at same time. Oh yeah, and don't forget to buy a jersey, cut it to reveal a little somethin somethin. He and you will love watching sports, I know this.

"I've thought about this"

Hi Savannah, it's your friend from Adult Toy Room again... just kidding.

But seriously, both of these two questions revolve around what seems like a blatant lack of communication. Whether or not you have the self-confidence to open up about your thoughts and hopes, you need to do it. What's the harm in telling him he's misunderstood your affection for watching sports? Why would you be willing to walk down this path with someone who has know idea of what's actually going through your mind on at least a few items to possibly most items.

Best of luck.
