I just broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years over this very issue. She lost and LSU won.

Does she get the other 6 days. One day a week for a few months of the year is not asking a lot. Stand your ground or hit the road.

I just got out of a relationship with an aggie and will never date a girl again that didn't go to LSU and appreciate football for this reason.

A question for devoted tailgaiters: If your girlfriend told you that she wanted you to stop going to every game and tailgaiting so much, would you do it? Would you "grow up" like she asked and do other things with her on Saturday before the game, or maybe not even go to the game at all? Or would you realize that she is just not the woman for you?
It is better to find out now and let her know that this is who you are. For me it is a "dealbreaker". There are certainly many things I would give up, or start doing, to make I was doing my part in a relationship. I've always said that you have to "pick your battles". Well, I'm not a fisherman, or a hunter, or into cars. What I spend my time, money, and energy on is LSU football. And nothing will stop that. And if a girl was not able to accept that, I would know very early in the relationship. Even when kids come along, this is something that I will still do, they will just be involved (when they are old enough).

Better to find out now...no tailgating, dump her.

Your talking about what tailgating 6 or 7 Saturdays out of the year. This is why I am still single. Women want you to do what they want to do, but when it comes to something you are passionate about they bitch. Even when they can come along, but the real issue is control for them.

you made the right choice to leave her. besides you won't be lonely, you'll always have this message board 
Posted on 5/18/09 at 8:35 am to jacquespene8
Clear indication you are in need of a new girl.
Posted on 5/18/09 at 8:35 am to jacquespene8
It isn't about tail-gaiting...
It's about control. She wants to control you.
If you give in and eventually marry this woman, you'll be miserable for the rest of your life.

I know some guys who like this.
Getting married was the last decision they ever made and even that decision was under duress.

I had this argument with my wife a few years back. (2007) She always thought I wanted to be single when the fact of the matter was that she was just too lazy to get up early in the morning and put forth the effort I was into tailgating.
Basically she was complaining that I spent 7 Saturdays out of the 52 in the year at LSU football games. It's not like she didn't like the people we tailgated with or that she didn't like LSU.
She's now called Ex-Mrs. TigersRuleTheEarth

There is not rule that says couples have to spend every minute together and make the other miserable
My parents have been married for over 50 years. Most things they do together.
However, my father likes to hunt. My mother likes the theatre. They do their own thing and they don't get each others permission to do it.
This idea that you have to give up something you love to do to prove your love for a girlfriend or wife is horse crap.
If my girlfriend wants to go shop, she should shop. I would much rather her be happy doing something she wants to do than to lay some guilt trip on her that she loves shopping more than me.

Amen
I've been married 14 years and my wife does not usually tailgate and has no intrest whatsoever in LSU or sports in general. It has been my experience that the most successful relationships are about compromise.
My wife is a history nut. So I indulge her by antiquing and visting historical locations and museums (which I find boring, but don't act like it) and she indulges me by giving me my space on Saturdays in the Fall. Like another poster stated earlier, it's not like I "do" anything else (hunt, fish, golf, etc).

Boom.
Let me give you a small piece of advice.
Im 32, my wife likes taligating as much as I do.
Youd be amazed how much simplier and enoyable your life will be if you find a girl that enjoys the same things as you do...with that said that doesnt mean you have to do everything together.,, I play golf 2-3 times a week, she has no intrest at all in it.
Believe me, there are plenty out there.
Send this bitch packing.
