No fun anymore?

MineralMike - 2011-02-15 8:37 PM I haven't gotten that comment directly, but I know that when I am working out and my wife is not, there is some resentment.  It really isn't the time commitment, it is that I am doing something that she knows she should but is not.

Aysel - 2011-02-17 7:45 PM I got tiered of the snide comments from my spouse.  So I got divorced.  I'm much happier now.

We're laughing about this now, right?   Because I laughed a little when I read this. 

Aysel - 2011-02-20 9:12 AM No, seriously that's what it boiled down to...and I'm still laughing about it.  I'm 100% happier without him than I was with him.

I first started working out when he was in Korea for a year with the Army- he came home and WALKED BY ME when he got off the plane.  Didn't even recognize me.  I had worked hard and changed my life when he was gone.  You would think you would be happy for your spouse - but no I think he liked me when I was bigger.

So the snide comments started.  Arguments about buying junk food, McD's waiting for me for 'dinner' when I told him that no, I don't eat that.  He would come with me to the gym and then whine about how long I was taking.  He would buy me ice cream and then guilt me into 'not wasting his money and eat it'.  He would be pi$$ed that I would be home from the gym at 8 or 9 and whine about eating late.  Meanwhile I would be in bed at 10/11pm and he would stay up until 3am.  It was a freaking NIGHTMARE.  I used to fake having jock itch so I wouldn't have to sleep with him.

So yeah, I'm all about finding someone who respects my training (and hopefully is an athlete too!), helps celebrate my accomplishments, and who I don't want to fake having jock itch around.

I spent my 20's putting up with someone else's carp, I'm not going to spend my 30's doing the same thing.

My mom has a saying: A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
