[quote=Anonymous]To me this isn't about marathons or triathlons, it's about finding balance as adults between "me time" and family commitments.  You could say the same thing about golf or poker nights or girls' days at the spa, etc.

DH and I used to both be very active playing hours of tennis every week, he belonged to three or four separate teams at one point in addition to playing just for fun.  In addition, we are both runners.  Since having kids, we both have dialed it way back.  When our oldest was a baby, we would run during naptime with him in a stroller.  Otherwise, although it's not as enjoyable, runs are usually early morning on the treadmill or in the evenings.  He's cut back to one tennis team and I have totally given it up for the time being, choosing instead to use that free time as time to spend with my girlfriends.

You two need to talk.  The amount of me-time he is getting doesn't seem proportional to the needs of your family regardless of how he's spending it.[/quote]
