On our first date, as I leaned in for my first kiss... she stopped me and said, "You do realize that I have a four year old (from her previous marriage), and he will always be the most important thing in my life".
I smiled and said, "Of course I do." She smiled big, and leaned back in for the kiss.
Then I stopped her and said, "You do realize that I am a diehard Patriots fan, and Sundays will always be mine, and mine alone, and you will never be allowed to dictate my schedule on that day during the season."
She smiled and nodded. So I added, "never, ever, ever, ever, ever... no family functions, no chores, no dance recitals, no going to the kids games, no nuthin' ever ever ever ever ever..."
She got up and walked away. We had our first kiss on the second date.
But Sundays have been mine for over 15 years including 7 wonderful years of marriage.
Ditto here. I'll do anything any other day of the week or time of the year that my wife asks, but when it comes to Pats games, my wife is awesome about it. She hates football but knows not to plan anything or ask me to do anything during that three hours during a Pats game.
But I always say she married me by deception. When we were dating, she went to two or three games together (back in the early 90's) but as soon as we got married in '93 she stopped going.
