Ken welcome to the program.

Hi Dr. Laura. How are you?

Good Ken. Thank you. What's happening?

Thanks for taking my call.

I just wanted to get your take on an issue that I have with my wife that we got into a discussion with last night.

It's about being an individual sports team, so that it to the point of.

I don't know how to put it just just basically having some some serious passion about your home team, your hometown football team.

To the point where when you're watching a game, you might get a little more animated than you normally would.

With you know either frustrated or happy, but in this case very frustrated to the point that you might yell, scream, do things that you normally do during a football game.

My wife does not understand my passion for the team and which is understandable. I don't expect her to be you know as passionate as I am.

Now I want to go back to about 35 years ago. We've been married for 35 years, but we had a discussion just last night about something that happened 35 years ago when we first got married where I got a little over reactive toward a.

Certain football game I was watching now want to make clear there's no gambling. There's no betting. There's no nothing of that.

It's just your hometown football team that that you're passionate about. That's all it was.

They were having a very tight game. It was very rough and there's a lot of yelling and screaming.

And obviously I think it upset my wife. She wasn't used to seeing me in that manner.

So one of my first questions is how detrimental could that be to the health of a marriage if leading to my second question after the game was over.

I understand that I that I have said her. She went to better early. I went in and I kind of gave her an apologize. You know the thing that I was over reacting during the game.

However, if you're passionate about your individual football team. No, no, no, no, no. You're not pushing the passion it with me.

You become abusive toward the team you care about.

Okay.

Think about that. If you're yelling angrily, then you've become an abusive fan.
