A new virus trend has emerged, seeing a man quit temporarily

A man’s notes to his female partner separate social media because he declared that he would no longer be available in a large part of the time – thanks to the start of the new football season.

A woman shared a photo of a letter she received from her boyfriend on social media as the NFL season is scheduled to open in the U.S. on September 7, with the opening game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles.

“I have proudly fulfilled my duties over the past five months as a rewarding, caring and thoughtful boyfriend,” the note wrote.

“However, due to the inevitable conflict of arrangements, this is my two-week notice. I will no longer have active boyfriend responsibilities for the next few days and times.”

His resignation includes a 10-hour block on Sunday, an 11-hour block on Saturday and Monday, and a 8:15 p.m.

“These changes will remain valid until February 2026,” the letter said.

“I hope the next two weeks will have a smooth transition and I appreciate your understanding and support during this critical period of the sports calendar.”

The woman did say she was invited to join, and she and her boyfriend both had a sarcastic sense of humor.

This is not the first time such letters have spread. Last year, YouTube and Tiktok comedian Jake Maldonado shared a video of himself giving his wife Kenzie his “two-week notice.”

“I have been a helpful, engaging and loving husband for months; however, I am sorry to inform you that I will be informed for two weeks.”

He also provided a list of days and time that he would no longer be a partner.

Kenzie replied: “This is not a valid contract.”

“We currently have limited staff.”

Another similar letter spread, and the man said he now had a “temporary shift in priorities.”

“Please understand that this notice is not a resignation of our shared life and responsibility, but a temporary adjustment,” the letter reads.

“I assure you that my feelings and commitment to our relationship remain unwavering. During this period, my availability of chores, spontaneous adventures and certain conversations may be temporarily interrupted, especially during match days and key matches.”

Social media users have disagreements over the letter, some praise the level of communication, but others say they hope love “never finds them.”

“Girl, keep him forever. It’s fun,” one said.

Another added: “If you can’t beat them, please join the girls. Now, I play fantasy with my husband. Neither of us can get it for everyone else during these times of the year.”

One person said, “I’m lucky to have a boyfriend who doesn’t like watching football.”

Another added: “Request rejection.”

“For this level of communication it will kill. Where did you find these people?” said one person.

Another commented: “All I saw was a very communicative boyfriend lol.”

One social media user said: “+ communication skills, you’ll all be together for a long time.”

One person added: “I need him, please.”

One person said, “I will send a letter of resignation.”

Another added: “May this love never find me.”

“It’s about to do this to my wife,” one said.

Another commented: “I can’t imagine ever wanting to do some random exercise on top of time with her.”

Australian relations expert Samantha Jayne told news.com.au that if the letter is a joke, it is “cute”, but if it’s serious and the woman’s boyfriend doesn’t have the flexibility, the partner needs to think about how it feels.

She told news.com.au. “The risk is if your girlfriend finds a better, more fun life with a more fulfilling connection,” News.com.au.

“Perhaps something good for the goose is good for Gander, she might write.”

Jayne told news.com.au that many women don’t like the experience of dating men who are emotionally and physically obsessed with football fans, so there are a lot of women dating football fans.

They don’t want to be stuck at home, do nothing at the start of the game, and don’t want to constantly check scores with the man on their phones.

“It is a major shutdown for many women to expect a girlfriend to have no boyfriend for most of the year,” she said.

“Sometimes people forget that action has consequences. You can do something that makes you closer and strengthen the relationship, or you can do something that causes suspicion and disconnection in the relationship.

“Be sure to put yourself on your partner’s shoes before giving them a list of expectations.”

Now, this is not to say that enjoying the hobby and time in a relationship alone is a bad thing, but this type of letters and expectations are “too far away.”

“She has a need, too. She may want to spend the weekend or lunch on the weekend, enjoy a day on the beach or hike. All of these people are walking out of the window with such a tight schedule. That’s a huge price she paid.”

“This letter basically says it’s my availability and you have no say.”

She said that in a relationship, things are different because you need to think about your partner, but if you get stuck in an old life, this is a quick way to lose a partner because it can create a huge gap. This can lead to feeling isolated and lonely, and at the expense of quality time.

“Sometimes she is invited to football, and she feels welcome and included, it’s healthy, depending on whether she will be there or not.”

“If you don’t invite her, she may feel excluded, which will cause your relationship to start to separate. Maybe look at the ways you can expand your interests and compromise. Get new hobbies and grow into one.”

Ultimately, it depends on how their respective partners feel about it, she concluded.
