I've sure had to make some concessions to the wife regarding fantasy sports, but she's pretty cool about it considering. I've already witnessed a couple breakups and divorces in some of my leagues due to owners spending too much time on FF.

It really is addicting. No different than smoking, drinking, or gambling. Oh wiat, it is gambling for the leagues I play in

My wife found my :e: account, and she was not happy.

What it’s not – remember how your macho man tried to impress you by flexing his tiny muscles? Well, it’s not that.

it's only 12 days old, but this site looks like it's got legs.

it'll make for some fun reading in about 3 months.

Frankly my wife doesn't care. It's a hobby I really enjoy. As long I don't put it before my family or work (which I never would), it's not an issue.

When I work from home, sometime I read the "Free For All", and she come in, and check it out. But overall, she couldn't care any less about it.

 

[doogiej]

I've heard the horror stories as well but my wife is really cool about it. When I was watching the week 12 MNF game last year playing for my league championship, she kept saying "did you win yet?" and when I finally acknowledged that we had won (about 25 seconds left in the 4th quarter) she blasted "We are the Champions" throughout the house....then promptly asked me how much "we" won.

KeeperWhat’s it not – alas, it is not a reference to you. While you are most certainly a ‘keeper’, your boyfriend/husband does not seem to remember this during the fantasy sports season.

Divorces? Really? Wow, I got my wife int 2 leagues, and she's addicted right along with me. Her and i played for the championship in one league last year. God bless taking 80% of the leagues purse in one household.

 

[Banger]

I win money nearly every year so she doesn't mind. I've had about 500% return the past couple years so she's gotten spoiled....

 

[coolnerd]

My wife is happy that my vice is fantasy football versus most other options. She thinks it is funny and harmless more than anything. Honestly, even though I don't frequent the FFA often, she enjoys the threads I tell here about from there, as they often mirror stuff she finds on the couple of message boards that she spends time on.

I'm sure with most wives and girlfriends it isn't about the money, it's about the time spent on the hobby and away from her.

When I read the topic I saw "any of your wives or girlfriends" and I thought, gee if I had wives and girlfriends I would be kept pretty busy doing things much more fun than FF.

That's it for a lot of us who have issues surrounding this game of FF.When we were in New Orleans for Jazzfest this spring my wife made a side trip into a Voodoo shop to pick up likenesses of Cecil and Sigmund. She has a pin cushion full of needles so it's going to be a long season for the boys.

I told my wife about it...sort of. She knows there's another board that has 'cast-offs' from here and they treat it like a 3rd grade locker room, but with the mouths and minds of teenage truckers.She gets a kick out of the pics that rule. Sometimes anyway. Others I know not to show her if I want relations that night. I just laugh and keep it to myself.

Too late for me to request you have your wife stick a few while he was drafting last week in a league we're in together

 

[Tigerbot Hesh]

The rule in my household is Mrs. TBH gets all of my fantasy winnings. That seems to keep the peace, but I'm worried about what will happen if I ever stop winning my main money league.

 

[Couch Potato]

The score was once FF leagues 6, wives 1.

I was told I had to cut down or else.

So I did.

The score is now FF leagues 12, wives 0.

That will teach her, go Bruce !!

If FF is the worst part of their marriage they are lucky. These women have way to much baggage.

that really seems like the smart way to go.instead of it being countless hours on the internet avoiding the family, the wife can consider it you going the extra mile to provide a little extra for the family.nice work. do you even say things like, "mama needs a new pair of shoes" as you're making draft picks?

My girl has no problem with my leagues. she knows draft weekend (2 leagues) is a big deal and doesn't bug me over it. In exchange I'll usually take her out for a nice dinner when I get back in town and spend the day hanging out with her (go to the zoo or something).Then again I do all my FFL research at the office so I'm not spending tons of time online when I get home from work.

 

[riverrat]

I'm glad those shirts don't come in a men's XXL (and if they do don't tell me). I'd probably be drunk webbing and order one to wear to my drafts as a joke.

 

[corpcow]

My wife is in my primary local league. She didn't do it last year because we (I mean, she) were planning a wedding, but she was in it the previous 3 years as well. Two years ago, she had one of the top teams and barely lost in the semis, otherwise we would have finished 1-2 (she took 3rd). She knows what she's doing and watches football every weekend with me. Good Pittsburgh girl, she is

Even better - I've wanted to introduce IDP for several years. I finally got support from my co-commish who joined another IDP league and liked it... so we made the change. When one of the guys was complaining at the draft, she yelled at him, called him a, you know, and to sit down and shut the f up.

I have a good wife

I did this. Gave my wife $1500 for winning my local football league 2 years ago.Her response after she finished counting the money . . . "For all the hours you put into fantasy you could have made much more making minimum wage working at Burger King."God - I love that woman.

WAFS has a message board.

This could be fun

 

[Tubalcane]

When I read the topic I saw "any of your wives or girlfriends" and I thought, gee if I had wives and girlfriends I would be kept pretty busy doing things much more fun than FF.

No offense...and I mean this in the nicest possible way...I think you have to be married to really understand this issue. My wife calls august thru Dec the dark ages. As a concession I no longer hunt, fish, or play golf. That may not seem like much to you, but down here in NC that's HUGE.

 

[RedStripe]

I bought my wife (while we were engaged 4 years ago) a pair of diamond earrings with my winnings.....although I get a little good-natured ribbing every once and a while, no real complaints for my 4 leagues. Even when I won big again last year and bought a new mountain bike for myself.

However, the tab may be coming due again this year if I win a bunch of $ again ;-)

Do I have a problem 22 Minutes ago Karma: 0 Last night during sex my husband asked me if he could call me Brady? - as in Tom Brady.He does spend a lot of time on the computer and speaks of Tom Brady quite a bit?Is he addicted to fantasy?What do I do?

Married with 3 kids here, but nice try. Guess you didn't get the joke.

From late August to December my wife considers herself a Fantasy Football Widow.

Otherwise she is good with it.

You see what being married does...it has totally stripped away all my sense of humor...lol

 

[I Am Rick James]

I think my wife is the president of that club. She hates FF with a passion even though I have won some big money leagues and bought her things like a $900 piece of furniture for all her stupid collectibles.

On the plus side, she has this freakish ability to pic sleepers. When she is in a good mood, I can present 4 or 5 names on a list and she somehow pics the stud. Like ADP last year and Colston the year before. My entire league thinks she is a witch!

Either that's a or you've obviously never been married. Being "kept busy doing things much more fun than FF" pretty much ends after the honeymoon...or especially after kids come along. The first thing I thought of after visiting that web site was almost that exact train of thought: "Give me (as a husband) something more interesting and fun to do, and I will GLADLY turn off the laptop and forget about FFL for a few weeks/months/years." Problem is, women want and expect their husbands to A, B, C before they will X, Y, Z....but when husbands stop showing interest in X, Y, Z BECAUSE their wives place eight pages of terms and conditions on them, or turn those tables around and say "You'll get A, B, C when I get a little X, Y, Z," well then those husbands are the biggest, most insensitive jerks in the world. Never mind the fact that it took months or even years of being ignored by their wives to reach the point of disinterest or wanting/expecting their wives to walk a little of their talk and not be such a hypocrite with some major league double-standards and "do as I say, not as I do" expectations.Not that I speak from experience or anything...
