The romance between him and my sister-in-law was so hyped and all that (she's 100% into the romance hoopla). Gag a maggot.
Anyway, he likes his baseball and his beloved Boston Red Sox. Two hours after the wedding ceremony, he was in the hotel room and proceeded to watch all Eleven(!) innings (including overtime) of a *regular* season game (so it wasn't even some special championship game).
Not that watching the Super Bowl on your wedding day is a valid excuse. [Tangent: would you believe that at a NYC hospital, the OB wheeled in a TV into the operating room during the ceasaran section and was high fiving the other doctors while watching the Super Bowl while the helpless woman delivering was laying there on the operating table?]
Anyway, four hours later (or however long a baseball game goes for), he has a new bride who has already fallen asleep, totally untouched, after crying her eyes out. He then finally changes out of his tuxedo (because baseball is so exciting even during the commercials that you can't possibly change), and then goes downstairs to party with his drinking college buddies who came to his wedding.
Anyway, the next day was a Sunday, and they were supposed to pack to leave on their honeymoon. Guess what? The Red Sox was playing again.
Where does romance get you??? When people cannot get their heads out of their posteriors and work hard at their marriage, it will eventually fall apart, no matter how romantic the courtship was and no matter how compatible the couple is. That is why many Hollywood marriages invariably fall apart.
What an ass*ole!......you see I can't put up with that! LOL I would have divorced him the day after........luckily my husband HATES, and I mean hates sports and thinks they are stupid.
