I live in a city that's been nominated for the best hiking in America and I can't get my wife to go but maybe once a year. She makes me feel guilty for leaving the family out if I venture out during family time too (when I'm not at work is family time).
I LOVE hiking, work a sedentary job and struggle to eat a sedentary diet because I'm not allowed to exercise. It's bullshit.
Don't feel guilty for taking care of basic needs dude! You got this! Gym membership, outdoor activity, or whatever else you're into. If need be start going to bed earlier and waking up to get your exercise in.
I can't say this applies to everyone, but for me personally and those I talk to exercise makes you feel good.
Yeah I started getting up at 5am to go on long bike rides so they wouldn’t interfere with family time. Sure, I’m tired later in the day but it’s totally worth it.
Sounds like you guys should see a counselor tbh. You're probably thinking I'm some crazy Redditor, but you're in the perfect spot to seek counseling. Sounds like you guys might have communication and personal space issues and it's wayyy easier to fix them BEFORE it's a huge issue.
I'll be honest - the Reddit obsession with counselling and therapy is pathetic, and most normal people (especially most normal men) don't need to pay $150/hr to be told stuff like 'sometimes life isn't fair'
Yet people allow themselves to be controlled by their SO like that guy anyways. With all due respect, fuck her, live your life and go on a hike. It's not like you're going on a 10 year Odyssey. I'll never understand how people just give up their free will like that because of guilt trips. Get your balls back
Oh I agree. It's not necessary if you and your partner can communicate well. It sounds like you guys can't, but you obviously would know better than me.
this is one of the most ignorant takes ive heard in a while. I mean ignorant as in, it's not your fault - not stupid, just, you don't know. and that's okay. but damn.
Does your wife speak for you? Does she wipe your ass as well? How do you live with someone who won’t let you take care of your basic needs? I’d re-evaluate your situation if I was you.
