My wife isn't interested in football, never watches it on TV, she has come 3 times, once to Valley Sunday clear up, one league match & she came to 2025 Play off final as she wanted to go to Wembley and loved it. 
My mother never went to see Charlton once simply not interested, my father supported Charlton for 80yrs. They married in 1961 & he went to the valley on his own, and started taking me in 1970, he continued to go till 2019 when ill health and distance became to much. I have been going with my son since 2005, my wife is more than happy that we love going to see Charlton and its in the diary not to organise anything on match days or book holidays in May, just in case we get to the play offs. 

thankfully my missus isn't really into football - she'll watch England games at the World Cup etc and has been to Charlton a couple of times.

she enjoys the peace and quiet as the kids come with me. 

My sis in law asked in a loud voice why they keep singing, "Who are we?"  "Er ... that would be .. Red Army,"  I said in muted voice.

My Missus has done 8 games and we've one every one of them, so i keep dragging her along. Ipswich away was her first away game and she was buzzing.

Im sure it not her ideal idea of a day out but definitely making memories.

Please take her to a Millwall game.

So..….I need some urgent advice please my fellow Lifers......

I took my wife to her first ever Charlton match against Leicester. She is not a footy fan but she humours me!

Anyway - much to my surprise she kind of enjoyed the whole experience (I got nice seats with the prawn sandwich brigade in the upper West). She had made a few general positive comments early on "GO ON KICK IT" was one to be remembered.

My real problem started about half way through the second half - not much was going on - a bit of goalkeeper time out -

So my dear wife says in a loud voice "SO WHAT COLOUR ARE WE"?

the reaction from those around me 8was hysterical! I hid my head in shame and apologised to all around.

Anyway Lifers - she told me last night that she really enjoyed it and wants to go on Saturday against Swansea….

Help? Should I or not??????????

No.

My Mrs wouldn’t watch football if it was the only thing on telly , zero interest but she’d drive petrolhead to Barnsley on a Tuesday night .
I reckon she done more games than me last season and I only started doing the midweek away action once in the mix (glory boy)
She’d basically do anything for the kids and I’m trying my best to keep quiet about Stoke away so I don’t get bullied into going to that northern hellhole .
It’s a family day out and there’s not many of them, she’s done 3 days at the Test match in the summer with a couple of  the kids when I was playing over the weekend , super mum .
She came Wembley but wouldn’t have minded us not going up cos less people at the game means less traffic and people in the way .
She’s just there for the social with family and friends and is more than used to me being completely irrational and foaming at the mouth like a mad man constantly twitching and nervous until the final whistle 

My other half is Spurs, ST holder for years with her sons, she's been to one Charlton game, way back when the snake scored a penalty against Luton in a 3-1 win I think, I've been to one Spurs game, v Brighton many boxing days ago. We do our own things, I'll be at Charlton tomorrow, leaving about midday, she goes to Spurs v Chelsea 5:30 kick off and we wont see each other until late Saturday night, she went to Bilbao for 3-4 days with her sons in May. For me its great having a partner who not only loves football but is very incisive and knowledgeable, I want them to win most games (apart from Arsenal, its a family thing) and she wants us to win, but neither of us would lose any sleep if the others team doesn't. She also has just taken an interest in my Rangers support as well due to Mikey Moore being on loan, although traditionally her and her sons lean towards the great unwashed due to her Irish catholic family & upbringing. 

My missus has come along a few times, she even attended one protest when I threw a prosthetic vagina with "fuck off Roland" written on in sharpie at Keohane. She has done the two recent play off finals but in reality she doesn't have any interest in the game, more the occasion. She used to get dragged to Tottenham and Gillingham by her dad when she was younger so no stranger to the more organic behaviour at football or life in general come to that. I find myself behaving a bit different though, I end up looking out for her and trying to throttle some of my worst behaviour and thats exhausting. 

She did identify Steve Evans years ago, nudge me and ask who he was. "I don't like him" was her response. Sensible judge of character 

Wife comes to 4 or 5 games a season, came to the playoffs last season, was a season ticket holder until we got dogs and she now takes them to dogsports at the weekends. 

Mum and Dad have been going to Charlton together, both season ticket holders, for at least 20 years now, used to go sporadically before then.

I took my wife to one of our games at Selhurst. It was her first ever game and it was against Norwich. We were standing together and at about the half hour mark I went to say something to her but she wasn't there. She was sat on the steps, reading the programme.

Just one of the reasons she became my first wife. My second is far more understanding when it comes to sport but then she is "force fed" football, cricket, golf and horse racing etc etc 24/7. She's been about a dozen times to the Valley and one of her proudest moments was the day our son was mascot the day we won the League 1 title under SCP.
