With the kick off to the NRL season less than 24 hours away, I thought I would issue an apology to my wife, and provide a template to other people to forward to their significant others as well.
I'm the type of guy who will watch all 8 games, the Footy Show, NRL on Foz, Fox Sports News and anything else that shows highlights. As such, I spend A LOT of time watching NRL. Add in rep games and it's a wonder I even speak to my other *better* half!
So here goes. Feel free to copy and paste the below, and print or redistribute as you see fit.
----------------------------------
To my dear Wife/Husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/other,
Please accept my sincerest apologies, but for the next 30 weeks I will be unavailable* from Thursday to Monday^ nights.
During this period I will be occupied watching numerous games and related television programs, associated with the NRL (that's National Rugby League just FYI) season.
My unavailability may extend to events with your parents, however if it will affect our (read: my) love life, then negotiations may be entered to, outside of the above days.
If you speak to me during a game, and I do not respond sufficiently, please do not try again, as this will only further anger both of us. Do you really want that? I didn't think so.
If something is important, write it down and we can discuss it at an alternate time.
I love you very much for your tolerance and look forward to continuing our relationship after the October long weekend.
[insert name here]
* - I will be present, but not active.
^ - During Origin period, Wednesday will also be included.
