my wife is a college football fanatic. She loves the Gamecocks and HATES Clemson. If you are thinking "I know people like that"....no, you don't, she's a nutcase when it comes to this. Anyway, we have neighjbors that moved here around a year ago from PA. We exchange pleasantries and are in general, decent friends and good neighbors. Being from PA and liking football, I guess they decided to pick a southern team to like and they chose Clemson. The male made a FB post about hoping Clemson would win, my wife posted something about how much she hates Clemson to which he replied "Does SC even have a team this year?" Honestly, I couldn't have gotten a more violent reaction out of her if I told her I was having an affair with a 15 year old. She ranted and raved and threw things and wished his death and i mean it was CRAZY. I had to send him a text asking him not to post anti-gamecock material on FB anymore. I told her I was embarrassed by her behavior. She said a good husband would stand by her no matter what. I said I was sorry but can not and will not condone idiotic behavior like that.
What do you say, side with your spouse NO MATTER WHAT or side with righteousness?
Based on the question in the title, my answer was going to be yes, always take her side in public. And if you disagree, you can talk to her about it in private.
However, as much as I love my (currently pathetic) college team, inability to be civil and have some perspective is part of a bigger issue. This isn't about whether or not you should agree with her or take her side. This is about some emotional problems and immaturity that she has. It's two different questions.
It's one thing to take her side regarding your family or your home or something that's actually important. And like stan said, to keep a united front in public. However, she's losing it over football, not a life or death situation. Your neighbor probably thought he was having a little friendly fun with some harmless trash talk, and you were not wrong to tell her privately that she needed to tone it down.
Agree with you on her bad behavior and rudeness. He meant to be humorous and she went mean. Thats something most men wouldnt even start. The neighbor needs to block her from his facebook page. Not a fan of Facebook nor most other social media as many times it ends up a problem for many.
Well for some of us, football is dang near life and death. If my wife came home rocking a Steelers jersey or a Ravens hat, she would be getting divorce papers the next day for example. Now psycho football behavior DOES need to be kept in check, ESPECIALLY online. You will never win over football, but the fact that your wife is on this level should be a turn on, chicks into sports on a fanatical level is hot.
Why are people so obsessed with football and facebook? We once hunted the mammoth and now people have regulated themselves to emotional validation through football and Facebook.

You should be able to tell your wife or significant other where they are wrong at.
I don't think you need to jump on the crazy train to prove your loyalty. Your wife's behavior is decidedly odd.
