[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah - I'm not an athlete but I walk a ridiculous amount. My spouse has health issues and is very sedentary. It's frustrating for a couple of reasons - one, I really worry about his health; second, it would be so nice to be able to do things like hike or kayak together. My ex and I were incompatible in so many ways but we both loved to hike and it was such a nice thing to share.

I love my spouse a lot so I try not to fixate on this. Also I saw this same dynamic modeled by my parents (father walks so much and is otherwise active; mother is sedentary by nature and it's exacerbated by health issues). So I sort of see how to live this way compassionately and practically - you need other friends to do activities with, you need to encourage your partner but not nag or berate, etc.

My mom is 66 and my dad is 70. My mom is always doing stuff moving around. my dad on the other hand is always on the couch like a snake. My dad has so many health issues from having lead a sedentary lifestyle.

I really hope many of you ladies aren't going to end up with husbands like my dad. While you are single and dating screen out men who don't exercise regularly. I don't date women who don't exercise regularly. If they don't and are willing to start great. But if they don't see the need for it they can look for another man.[/quote]
