[quote=Anonymous]I am an ex-elite athlete that holds titles, and this issue will come up over and over. OP, it is well worth seeing a therapist to facilitate the two of you discussing this. What I have learned in therapy: 1. My spouse gets that sport/fitness gives me my mojo and it is one of the qualities he likes about me. He wants to support me. 2. Once I retired from competition, my training /workout schedule was not a necessity, rather a hobby, and needed to be treated as such when making financial and family life decisions. 3. He has accommodated me, A LOT, over the years, and if he has a specific request (like yours) I need to graciously grant his request, and find a babysitter, skip a workout whatever. It is not up to him, to figure out how to make it all happen. And for all the people telling OP to take the other flight, one workout is not going to make or break her husband's fitness goals-- give me a break!!!!!![/quote]
