[quote=Anonymous]I've been working out for a while now and am in some of the best shape of my life at the moment. My wife, however, now constantly critiques my physique because she doesn't 'like how musclely' I've gotten, plus the vascularity.  I mean I don't take fitness to the extreme.  I go everyday after work and lift weights and do cardio in the mornings.  Fwiw I am now quite strong and can lift heavy weights for size, and yes, I have added bulk and defined muscle mass.  I don't take performance enhancing drugs, no roids, and not even supplements.  I am just a man who works out, so it is inevitable I will get 'shredded'.  Like yes, I get it, many women do not like the body builder look, but I can't help that in add bulk after lifting weights and challenging myself at the gym.  I just find it very discouraging that my spouse basically body shames me for working out. Especially with all of the news and science coming out describing all of the fantastic benefits weight training provides to stave off age related disease.  Anyone ever have this issue if you're way more in shape than your spouse and they try to torpedo your enthusiasm for your fitness? How'd you handle it?[/quote]
