When I first met my wife I already had plans to go to NYC for a ROH show. I live in the UK so going to New York is a note worthy thing. She asked why I was going, I said it was for UFC thinking she wouldn't know nor honestly care but I wasn't going to tell her it was for fake sports.
When my wrestling love came up 6 months later she threatened to leave me. Not because I liked wrestling but because I wasn't honest with her. I was still using the UFC excuse every month to hang with my friends on PPV nights.
It's a minor thing really but I shouldn't of ever been ashamed for who I am and what I enjoy. Had too many situations where girlfriends wanted to change me for someone I wasn't so got used to lying. Find someone who loves you, for you.
