ok i will admit this post comes a bit too late but its just that the thought struck me yesterday.i will be very honest with this and maybe in the process i will acquire some enemies,which i do not mind having in the name of honesty.anyway the world cup is finally here and it shall be a very interesting period in the relationships department.i am imagining the town looking something similar to this....
women looking for husbands have probably polished on their football knowledge found a team to support and will become faithful attendees of the games in the usual places where they hope to get a man's attention on the basis of 'we both love football'.some unfortunate men will receive warning letters at work because they left their work pending to go watch a game.a few desperate watchmen will be the lucky lot who will pry on their madams who will have been neglected for the leather ball.sadly with the current gospel that is being preached all over town;(you know the whole ignore better half and watch the game)the end of June will mark the end of some relationships,beginning of affairs,and maybe for the really badly off-the end of marriages.
i have got no problem with the game,its the irresponsible player i have beef with.for the wise men here-note i said wise,they will still have their relationships and marriages intact(maybe even better off) and will enjoy the game to the fullest.how you ask,well it is the simple concept of planning ahead with two people in mind.he realizes he's got a really hot season to watch and at the same time a wife/girlfriend to take care of.(make no mistake,if you leave her out of the equation,the geeky guy Tom/njoroge/peter will have a field day entertaining her while you neglect her,and resisting will not be very easy you know).so a wise guy i am assuming did this: he acknowledges he loves the game and needs to watch it and while at it not lose his beloved.he by now has created some sort of interest in better half for the game just to make sure he will be supported instead of nagged as he watches the game.he has also include better half in the season such that he does not miss out on the matches and better half does not miss out on him,he arranges his time in such a way that it is a win win situation, he will have his nights out with the boys and time with better half.June for him will be a good month,he wont miss the games and better half will not be too moody about it,in fact he has her support.who knows maybe next season she will be purchasing a plasma for him-just maybe.
i may not be in a relationship but i do have my two cents on this matter.there are two important things at hand,both must not be lost.instead of expecting better half to find something better to do(which she will and it wont be pretty) do realize that are two people in the relationship who see things differently and for it to survive you need to see the other side of the fence.woe unto you who's better half is no football fan and you have forgotten her.how this whole season turns out for your relationship will depend on how well you planned for it.before you include something big in your relationship(world cup qualifies as big) do consider the effects it will have on your relationship and plan out together how you will work around it.planning is everything in this matter,fail to plan and you plan to fail.always plan to have a win-win situation in your relationship,its much more fun that way....
for my readers i hope not to meet with your better halves as football widows,lemme meet them happily going about town ...
i wish you all a lovely world-cup season :-)
