The fall can be a tough time on relationships. There are lots of sports in full swing to compete for his attention, particularly football. The following is the official Monday Morning Girlfriend Guide to Coping as a Football (or other sport) Widow.
1. Don’t whine. Being a whiny girlfriend who doesn’t like her man to watch or play sports will immediately put your relationship up for review. You will almost always lose, especially to football. If you never thought your man would leave you for another man, watch how quickly he will leave you for 22.
2. Get a side piece. Pay attention, we do not mean another man, but something you like to do. If crocheting is your thing, make him a crochet widow. While two widows don’t make a right, the point is to pick up your own hobby and use this time to indulge in your own interests—shopping, underwater basket weaving, baking cheese biscuits, closet purging, whatever it is, make it your own and make it look good.
3. Act like you actually care. Demonstrate an interest in his sport that’s competing for your time. A little reverse psychology never killed anybody. If he thinks you aren’t annoyed, suddenly that takes away half of his desire to rebel and absorb an entire Saturday playing golf or watching college football. It’s all about how you wear the pants under the skirt.
4. Master the game. Be it golf, football, or skateboarding, if that’s his thing, learn the game, so you can do it together—sometimes. Let’s not get ridiculous. The goal isn’t to take away from his male bonding time, but there’s no reason you can’t hang with the fellas every now and then. That’s part of the MMG appeal.
5. Get your own uniform. If all else fails, invest heavily in lingerie and run your offense.
