Moral Question
Posted on 9/28/10 at 9:32 am

So, I suppose I already know the answer to this question, but figure it may break the monotony of QB bashing and instead be blasted myself by both sides.
My wife has an aunt (by marriage, Uncle's third wife) who very tragically and unexpectedly passed away in northern Louisiana over the weekend. There is now a memorial service in Baton Rouge Saturay at 1:30 as she lived most of her life in BR.
I have met this person only once at my wedding more than 6 years ago. I'm not going to this game right?
Even logistically, how would I make it in time without being completely indecent and literally shedding a white shirt and jacket for a purple polo and cap superman style while running out the door? Obviously I could save the embarrasment and not go at all but then there would be long term consequences. Am I dick for this being my first thought after hearing the plans just now?
Any advice?

The reason for going would be for your wife. Its a matter of whether you like sex or not,but i can say i understand what your saying

Tell them to move it up to 1030 .... after all, it's what she would have wanted....so everyone can enjoy LSU's prolific passing attack.
Otherwise....you're screwed.

Have you discussed it with your wife ?
You are a seriously disturbed man if you are asking the Rant for advice before talking to your wife about it.

It's just a matter of what dead thing you want to see more.
The aunt?
Or our passing game?

It would not be a "discussion" ... it'd be him getting his marching orders....or else.

I'd say the reason to go is not because you know, or don't know, this person - but rather for your wife.

Death has a way of fricking up everything!
Seriously, get your priorities in order. Take care of your family obligations.

Ask the wife. They'll surprise you from time to time. If she wants you to go with her, don't think twice. If she says go to the game, do it, but you'll have to thank her with a spa day or something.

Honestly, I'd want my husband to talk to me about it. If it was me (and I AM the wife), I'd not force my husband to go and I wouldn't hold it against him if he didn't come with me given the circumstances of not really knowing the aunt.
Could you get there for 2nd quarter? Timewise? That way if you feel you HAVE to go for your wife, you'll have done that ...

That said, a funeral is one thing, but who the hell plans their wedding during an LSU game. Sorry, but it's your fault I didn't go.

I just found out about the plans. We discussed the game briefly and it was assumed I would not go.

Without question, but this is the least of my problems.

Dig her up and bring her with you; the sad thing is not many will notice.
It will like “a Weekend at Burnies” or if you prefer “A Weekend at Anties”
Either way, Sorry for your loss and enjoy the game!

Just suck it up and go to the funeral. Tell her that being there for her is more important than any LSU game.
DVR the game and just try your best not to check scores or talk to anybody. One benefit is getting to FF through comercials.
After the game...get plenty o'sex.

I'm more venting than anything else. I couldn't be shotgunning beers and sitting through the pregame knowing what was going on just a few miles away.
Clerly I'd be going for my wife, but the wife has only met the person one time as as well. It's kind of on the boarder realtionship wise. if it were not in BR we would probably be in the clear.

It's her uncle's third wife, but I don't disagree with your sentiment.

I think he meant the aunt is his wife's uncle's third wife.
