Not everybody that finds the time to start or return to a high level of activity that they enjoy is “going to find friction at home.” That happens as a general issue BROADLY if there is something else problematic. And, sometimes it’s one of the two partners projecting - and it goes both ways.

Meanwhile, there are tons of people that have no issue with these arrangements. You just don’t hear about it. Funny how that works out.[/quote]

The issue people have friction at home is because the majority of married couples have kids and suddenly this wonderful hobby means the child care and labor division becomes severely imbalanced. Thus, friction. OP has no kids. So maybe he should just get divorced since he doesn't seem to think much of his wife and her slovenly ways and maybe someone else will really appreciate the vascularity and shredding that he is so proud of.[/quote]

Do you really think everyone who runs the Marine Corp marathon is either childless or has grown children? (Just as an example). [/quote]

Why would i think that based on what i said? If you have kids and a spouse time consuming hobbies can be a drag on the family. YMMV.[/quote]

Because all those people with kids in the house who are running/training have friction? Isn’t that your belief? I’m sorry things are unpleasant in your house. Truly. But there is tons of projection here.[/quote]

No, meat head. I never said all. Tons of projection indeed.[/quote]

Well, you (or someone) posted this, which seems close to saying the issue is common or the majority of people face it:

Basically anyone who gets super into a new fitness regime like marathons, triathlons, cycling, cross fit, or whatever probably finds friction at home. Acting like this is unique to just bodybuilding is weird. [/quote]

So defensive. Wonder why?
[/quote]

This is the best you have. You could respond with this any time somebody posts a disagreement. This is a discussion forum. You realize this?

So, you have no experience and are making this all up. Got it. [/quote]

Really? This is surprising? Probe that is makes no difference now.

The title of the article is CAN. It uses mostly language like MAY. Did you even read it?

And, you have not refuted what is obvious. You have zero experience with any of this. Can you even run a mile?

People talk so much out of their ass here it is hilarious. [/quote]

I run 20 miles a week. You haven’t been right a single time.[/quote]

Oh boy. 20 miles. You must have a lot of friction at home then. It must be unbearable. [/quote]

Do you have a point to make here?[/quote]

Yes. Multiple posters have pointed out this is projecting nonsense. And you have yet to defend it:

“Basically anyone who gets super into a new fitness regime like marathons, triathlons, cycling, cross fit, or whatever probably finds friction at home. Acting like this is unique to just bodybuilding is weird.“[/quote]

Ehhh. I think this is true if you both work and have kids, because there is so little free time to go around. TV watching is done after kids are in bed, not during prime child rearing hours in the evening. But OP doesn’t have kids, so not seeing why it would be an issue. My spouse and I had plenty of time to do whatever we wanted and still spend quality time together before kids entered the picture. [/quote]
