    Will keep you guys in the loop...

    I think I'd be six feet under if she even read any of this  :D
    imagine the mrs thinking you took relationship advice from here. so far you have been advised to shag her sister, post pictures of her sister and dump her and that is just by me!
    Like someone has already stated on here @c@cafcdave123 have you ever thought about being a counsellor or working for the Samaritans?
    Would interfere too much with his full time job of being "Dear Deirdre" in Hello and Okay Magazines!!
    i'm going to pitch that to airman brown, could have "Dear Dave" in voice of the valley!

    We know our own wives and girlfriends and of course they will react differently, but this is how I would play it. The Wembley issue should be left until after the game on Friday. Before it, tomorrow or Thursday, tell her about New York. Don't change any dates, you don't want her to think you have bought it to go to Wembley. Tell her you bought it because you love her. Then you will have a few days at least when you can do no wrong - use that to broach the wedding subject.

    It may not work, but give her a chance to let you go before you you tell her you are going. 
    And if she says you're still not going, then tell her New York is cancelled and you're going on a 5 day binge to Ibiza instead........

    You might get sussed out rather quick though when your answer to every dilemma is to shag the sister in law

    thats not the answer to EVERY problem, sometimes its as simple as having a "hangy wank" to take the edge off

    After the game at Wembley, can we all pile down to the reception with you?  I'm sure that'll cheer her up.

    Hell fcuking yes. No Wembley, no New York and you make sure she knows exactly why New York was cancelled.

    Massively late to this, but can I just add I put my foot down and told my missus I wouldn’t be attending a wedding we got invited to because we had QPR at home on the opening day of the season in 2015.  If I can put my foot down for QPR at home, with a full season of fixtures ahead, you can do the same for what could be one of our biggest game in years 

    PS - we actually split up in October of 2015

    What a team...and Simon Church.
  • I was born as a perm baby 8 weeks early and as such was pretty poorly. Dad was at my birth of course, but as we were playing Pompey the same afternoon he was off and out to the game no questions asked. Ahhh 1971.

    If it hadn't been for that kind of commitment I may not have ended up an Addick, having lived in Sheffield from age five.

    No brainer. Football is in my blood and would always come before a wedding for somebody I have no emotional attachment towards. 

    The 1998 final is in Charlton folklore. Even Kevin Pillips was talking about it last night during the Weat Brom v Villa commentary. 

    Apologise to the bride and groom and buy them a gift from you as an apology. Just so they know you care but have your priorities in the correct order.

    Just caught up with this thread. FWIW I think you should go to the match. Charlton is important to you- part of your identity. If she doesn’t get that now then later on down the line she’ll want you to miss games for shopping etc.

    Magical thread, well done everyone 
  • Remember the day England beat Germany 1-5, my mate got married.
    About 20 of us never got to the reception until about 9;30 PM.
    The groom was begging us to leave the pub and get ourselves along.
    My mate indicated to him "have you seen the fucking score Chris, you will get married again, but won't witness a defeat of this nature for Germany".
    My mate was right on both counts.

    I've just spoken to one of the first team squad and they've been monitoring this story closely. Some have been arriving at training visibly shaken and some have turned up with tears in their eyes. A few have even turned to @cafcdave123 for counselling.

    So what I will say is, if we lose this game it will all be on you and your missus @CharltonLad88

    I’m also wondering why she’s insisting you go to the wedding. You say you’ve been together for a couple of years but I’m guessing you’re not married? She might be dragging you along to the wedding in the hope you’ll get the idea. If you are thinking of getting married then tell her you’re going to the match and then pop the question seconds later.

    If he does indeed go to the wedding, his punishment should be to change his username to @WeddingLad88

    If we do have this bridge to cross so to speak.

    I think the official CAFC should get Lyle Taylor to do a small video on Twitter imploring to this fellas other half that he really needs to be there, a call to arms (and legs) so to speak.

    oh as soon as she finds out about New York she'll convince herself that he'll be popping the question out there!

    Bet @CharltonLad88 looks a bit like Richard Keogh at the moment...

    FFS! This thread illustrates precisely what is wrong with the British male today. We are being emasculated at every turn and some snowflakes on here can only suggest that @Charltonlad88 use bribery and even the promise of a marriage to get to go to the footy.

    By God, just man up and tell her how it is. She can go to the wedding if she wants but you sir, you WILL be going to Wembley and if she doesn't like it then she can go...


    Edit

    Sorry chaps, I'll have to finish this later as the Wife's just told me to come off the computer 'cause she wants to go to Bluewater for lunch.
