I don't mind watching football and basketball. In fact, I think sports could be fun to watch. Even if I didn't like sports, I would still read an overview to learn who won and if teams are in the finals or playoffs or just the regular season. Sports are such a part of our culture and I like to be able to be a participant in a conversation if sports come up. Also, in business, there are so many analogies to sports that I think having sports knowledge puts me a step ahead, instead of a step behind.
Sports are on tv all the time. If its not Saturday through Monday night football, it's a basketball game every other day, or a baseball game every single day. When your boyfriend is such a sports fan that he watches a game almost everyday, it's like a hobby. Just because it's his hobby, does it have to be mine?
We're away from each other for a majority of the week working, so when we're both home, I want to spend time together and he says he wants to spend time with me too. Sometimes the only way to do that is to watch the game with him. I want to take walks together and eat dinner without the tv on--but miss the game? Not an option. Now that I am living with him am I forced to make sports my hobby, or leave during game time to take part in my own hobbies? When we were living separately, I'd go to his house with the intention to watch the game, but now that we're here together, I think of all I could accomplish on my own instead of watching the game.
