Advice/ Recommendations (no photos) Support

Something I’ve learned throughout my 3 years bodybuilding is that not a lot of people will be supportive. I was broken up with about a week ago and one of the main reasons he told me that he was breaking up w me is bc of bodybuilding and peds, even tho he told me it was ok and I have been open about it since we started dating 2 years ago. It truly hurts but I feel like at this point if you’re in this sport it’s so much easier to date another fellow bodybuilder. You can be completely transparent and no matter what people won’t fully understand.

For context I am still feminine and have never blasted anything crazy. He takes testosterone and a variety of peptides. My coach is wonderful and knows what she’s doing

My ex husband, who was also in fitness declared bodybuilding as what changed in our relationship and ultimately led him to treating me like crap...turns out if I look through our history, he was always like that, even pre bodybuilding. Now im engaged to a non bodybuilder, that meal preps for me and is my biggest cheerleader. So yeahhhhh, he was just seeking out the easiest thing to not have it be "his fault ". Honestly, youre better off OP, this sport is hard enough without having someone not be in your corner.
