The other wives dont play poker. I guess I`m from the old school and women just dont go to places " like that alone". Just an excuse.....I`m really just a chicken to walk in a place by myself. And I just NEVER liked football.
Wish I could help ya here. My advice may not apply to you. I could keep up with most guys on football. And I
love football. And poker too. If my husband or S.O. attended a party that excluded me on Superbowl Sunday, I'd have to question the entire relationship. Really, SB Sunday is like X-mas for me.
I've always been very independent, and never hesitated to go anywhere myself if I thought it would be fun. I got my own drink money, and a ride/cabfare/walk home. Think whatever they wanna. Desparate? Lonely? We'll see.
You don't owe anyone anything, not even the time of day much less a dance. There again, I'm from NYC and was brought up...different.
