Subject: Get away while u can

I found this, and honestly it doesnt sound that great to be with A Hockey player huh.


My husband is an hp in the NHL.
He's a fairly big star so we have a lot of nice things and live in a wonderful neighborhood in a wonderful house.
He leaves the house early in the morning, even though he comes home late at night.
He calls me to check up on me throughout the day. Or he will come home in the late afternoon for a while if it's not a game day.
If he has no other plans, we go to dinner or a movie. Either way he leaves me off so he can join the guys. He spends most of his time with the guys.
In the off season we have a vacation home near some of the guys, so he spends most of the summer with them too.

I hate when he comes home smelling like a brewery.
I hate when he comes home smelling like someone else's perfume.
I hate when he comes home drunk and angry because he lost, or the coach spoke to him in practice or his trainer told him he's a lb overweight. When he does I try to ignore him or make myself scarce but he always manages to notice me. I pray he will only break the furniture or punch holes in the wall instead of turning his fury towards me.
I hate that he turned me onto drugs(coke, mostly) so I could "fit in" with the gang.
I hate when he's stoned on coke and pot and all the prescription drugs he's addicted to besides being drunk most of the time.
I hate when girls and women call my house constantly to tell me they are sleeping with him. I hate when they call my house, or even drop by to inform me they are having his child.
I hate when the other wives/gfs feel free to drop hints about just who he is sleeping with.
I hate going to the games during the playoffs or the regular season because when the fans boo him I get sick to my stomach. Especially when they say rude things to me. And if the booing is really bad I feel sicker because I know that means he is going to take it out on me later, when he decides to come home.
I hate that the guys always come first.
I hate when I see one of the other wives with heavy make up on her cheek and eye or lip trying to cover up what happened in her home the night before.
I hate when I have to do it.
I hate when I cheat with one of the guys to get back at him, to give him a taste of his own medicine.
I hate the constant worry that he will be traded or not resigned and we'll have to move and start all over again, country to country, ripping the kids from their school and friends.(again)
I hate the worry that it's all going to end so abruptly one day when most other men are just coming into their own in their jobs, and he'll either get too hurt or can't cut it and retire. Then what? Who'll cover all the enormous debts we've amassed living the "good life".
I hate the constant fear that it will all be over even quicker when he comes home and announces to me he is leaving me for any one of the bimbos who come and go constantly in his life.
And that's the watered down version, girls.
I agree with anyone of you who said this thread is silly or stupid or boring. In actuality, it is unrealistic at best.
If you want to have fun and be entertained, being the wife of an NHLer is not the subject for it. Sure, some of them, who are married to the more successful ones have everything money can buy. But they do not live in a dream world, their world is full of the harsh realities that are discussed by you girls on these pb message boards.

I can't speak for the AHL women except to say their life must be even drearier than my depiction, because their husbands don't get the millions, but still behave in the way I described. How very unfortunate for those women.
