I have become what one would term as a “football widow.” The only sport my husband is truly passionate about watching is football. So, on Sunday afternoons, Monday and Thursday nights I am left on my own because I have little to no interest in football.

When we were first married, I sort of dreaded football season because it meant that Sundays would always be spent at home. I have, subsequently, learned to embrace football season. I use football days and nights to run personal errands, catch up with friends, or watch television programs that I know would not interest my husband. For example, I watched all of The Crown during football season.

Are you a football enthusiast or a football widow like me?
