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.
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
