So what? You can keep trying to insist that this is a scary thing, but nobody thinks this is a problem. The only problem I see is you 1) trying to pathologize her being healthy, and 2) complaining about the cost of something that is not only a very worthy expense but also that she covers out of her own funds.

What's the real problem, OP? Did you get fat and you feel insecure that she didn't?

This.

If you don’t work out, it sounds like you are a little jealous of her. Why don’t you step it up too? I am divorced and to be honest, I was (am) very athletic and my XH was very lazy and gave up on the gym and it was extremely unattractive.

Corepower and OT would run you $300 a month. Thats a lot, to me, as a SAHM, but maybe I just am cheap?

I'm a hardcore exerciser, and two hours a day is a lot. I did it for years as a competitive athlete.

Keep an eye on it, OP. I think it's excessive, personally, to do that every day. Twice a day once or twice a week is one thing, but daily? That's a lot.

people can get addicted to working out, just like anything else. I know a few people like this. It can consume your life.

OP, how often do you work out? I am the DH, and I work out 5 - 7 days a week for an hour, alternating cardio with weights and once a week I do yoga for flexibility.

She's trying to go gluten free but it never really works out.

I work out for two hours/day 5 days a week, a lot more if hiking or trail running. Yes, its excessive and I know it. I balance it with a lot of ice cream.

You should not be worried about yoga plus an hour of cardio. If she's exhibiting disordered eating or something, that's a problem. But working out every day is awesome, and much, much cheaper than the therapy she'd probably need otherwise.

You should worry about keeping her satisfied in bed. With her great body, I am sure her sex drive will pick up. Don't let her hot body go wasted.

She's goes to yoga in the morning and orange theory in the evenings. She does this almost every day. On the weekdays she only goes to one class but she will also work out at our apartment gym or go running outside. 2 hour's of exercise seems excessive. It's also very expensive but she does pay for this expense herself even though she's a stay at home mom. She has a freelance writing job but it's only 8 hours per week. My wife is not overweight. She has always had a great body and didn't regularly exercise before she had a baby. Should I be worried about this?
