My Moral Dilemma
I have recently started seeing a girl who for some hard to fathom reason goes for the crows (she is not even from Adelaide). She knows I am Saints fan and has suggested we go to the game together.
I feel kinda dirty and awkward. Any advice?

Well my girlfriend goes for North, and I go to North games with her, however I never take her to Saints games with me. I have to go with another friend of mine, she's actually a Saints supporter and can get passionate with me. Luckily enough I avoided going to the North v Saints game with my girl, she chased me down the street when I gave a little fist pump on finding out the scores... If it's a big margin win, you won't get to enjoy it, that's my advice.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

My "Ex" missus was a Melbourne supporter, she even went out with a well known player before we met and they were together for ages. We eventually married and had a boy and hes a Collingwood supporter
Moral to the story is combining Melbourne with Stkilda gets you Collingwood, St kilda with Adelaide will get you a mental institution

Eek. That's a bad sign.Con Gorozidis wrote:suss wrote:First things first, how old is she?
dunno she said something about having a job at mcdonalds?
Seriously, my wife was a half committed blues supporter when we first started met. Now she's an insane St Kilda supporter. Actually, it was kinda conditional upon the whole marriage thing.
I'd start by buying her a scarf and go with the whole 'we should be your second team' angle. You can work on things from there.
Good luck!

Being a female myself, when dating opposition supporters there is no chance I'd be swapping teams. So I think you're stuck with her if she is a die-hard fan sorry.

No chance. the missus doesn't even care about football so she dsaid they can all support St Kilda. I'll sway her eventually.ozrulestrace wrote:Don't believe in mixed marriages.
Stick with your own.
It's all about the children, I've heard of families where it's fine when it's just two children, one for each team, but when the third arrives, it's war

Re: My Moral Dilemma
I went to the footy with my Freo Husband for about 10 years till after the grand final last year when he announced he was going to become a St Kilda member. It can be done and you may even manage to convert her in timeCon Gorozidis wrote:I have recently started seeing a girl who for some hard to fathom reason goes for the crows (she is not even from Adelaide).

Re: My Moral Dilemma
My daughter has the same problem in reverse. She's the Sainter and BF goes for the crows. They'll be going to the game together too. Maybe you all need to exchange numbers and if things don't work out you can swap partners.Con Gorozidis wrote:I have recently started seeing a girl who for some hard to fathom reason goes for the crows (she is not even from Adelaide).

Shattered dreams are just opportunities for improvement. Live and learn, fail and try harder. 2011 beckons.

Don't do it.
Dating someone from another team leads to the dark side. It leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
You need to break up with her before it goes any further.
Beware the dark side!
