[quote=Anonymous]Married almost 20 years, teens in HS.

All is relatively well until DH hit some major work stress and after a few months of being miserable/stressed turned to working out as his stress reliever.  He was in average shape.

Great, beats drinking or other options.

About 8 months later or so he accomplished his goals (I guess?  Seems to be a moving target) and he looks like a UFC fighter or something…he is all natural so no anger issues or anything but just really, really in shape now and pure muscle.

Has anyone gone through this?  I thought it was a stress management thing and I was happy he found a healthy way out - but is the next step to realize I did not take this health/fitness journey with him and not at his level?

I am not terribly out of shape, but after watching him work out (6 days a week, 2 times a day 4x a week) and eat the way he does not sure I am on the “all abs”  50 pull up bandwagon.

His work is settled down, or at least he handles it now with his fitness thing.  Kids seem fine, he is not pushing any diet or workouts on us, not posting his transformation on social media; just seems like a major pivot and not sure what to expect next (if anything).

I am kind of dreading when we go to the pool this summer and I get asked what happened to him, or is that even is him.

Thanks![/quote]
