[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when does she get 1.5 hours a day to work out? You have conveniently avoided commenting on whether or not you have kids and are shirking your responsibilities to be with them. When she has 1.5 hours a day every day where you are 💯 doing stuff for the kids and she doesn't have to, I will be on your side. [/quote]

I did not avoid it.

Can you read? We. Do.Not. Have. Kids. She could exercise whenever she wants. She’s just not motivated enough to do it on a regular basis.  [/quote] how long is your workday? Do yo7 work from home or do you have a commute?  How are the home chores divided? [/quote]

Except the part on the chores, OP answered all of these already. No kids and he does his workouts while she sleeps or before she gets home from work. [/quote] then maybe she is frustrated that she has to work longer hours [/quote]

Ok, and?  That’s a good reason to tear down your partner for taking care of their health?[/quote] Well, when my DH was working many more hours than me, I picked up more of the household chores, so we both had free time and more together time. For example, I made the dinner so we could eat shortly after he came home.  That gave us time to walk together after dinner.  [/quote]

Like I said.  I already make breakfast everyday for us because I’m up first because I exercise.  I pack our lunches.  I also iron our clothes before work. I take care of all of our finances and bills, home/yard/car maintenance, trash, cook dinner and do the dishes half the time, and we alternate cleaning the bathrooms while I’m often vacuuming the floors on the weekends.  She’s in charge of the laundry because she cares a lot about how her clothes are washed.  So that’s the only real chore she takes on.[/quote]

Fix breakfast? What’s to fix? Who still irons clothes?[/quote]
