The issue people have friction at home is because the majority of married couples have kids and suddenly this wonderful hobby means the child care and labor division becomes severely imbalanced. Thus, friction. OP has no kids. So maybe he should just get divorced since he doesn't seem to think much of his wife and her slovenly ways and maybe someone else will really appreciate the vascularity and shredding that he is so proud of.

Do you really think everyone who runs the Marine Corp marathon is either childless or has grown children? (Just as an example).

Why would i think that based on what i said? If you have kids and a spouse time consuming hobbies can be a drag on the family. YMMV.

Because all those people with kids in the house who are running/training have friction? Isn’t that your belief? I’m sorry things are unpleasant in your house. Truly. But there is tons of projection here.

No, meat head. I never said all. Tons of projection indeed.

I read your post on friction, and I call projection. Lots of families talk to each other and make things like daily gym and even marathon training work. By the way, I am woman, far from a “meat head.”

Indeed. PP “friction poster” is an uninformed idiot. And likely has zero experience with any of this.

Meanwhile, we are taking like 1-2 hours during the week. Most people mindlessly watch that much TV a day.

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.

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.

how long is your workday? Do yo7 work from home or do you have a commute? How are the home chores divided?

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.

then maybe she is frustrated that she has to work longer hours

Ok, and? That’s a good reason to tear down your partner for taking care of their health?

I think the point - for both of you - is that it’s not about taking care of your health. Being healthy doesn’t require 1.5 hours of daily exercise. So what is it really about?

Not defending OP just a general statement that 1.5 hours of daily exercise is not extreme, it's actually healthy. Those who think it's extreme are saying this because they can't seem to eek out 1 hour a week.

Well, you (or someone) posted this, which seems close to saying the issue is common or the majority of people face it:

Basically anyone who gets super into a new fitness regime like marathons, triathlons, cycling, cross fit, or whatever probably finds friction at home. Acting like this is unique to just bodybuilding is weird.

So defensive. Wonder why?

Posting the PP’s own words back to them is defensive? Wow, so you have nothing. Got it.

This is the best you have. You could respond with this any time somebody posts a disagreement. This is a discussion forum. You realize this?

So, you have no experience and are making this all up. Got it.

Really? This is surprising? Probe that is makes no difference now.

https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/beginners/a27330852/running-relationships/

The title of the article is CAN. It uses mostly language like MAY. Did you even read it?

And, you have not refuted what is obvious. You have zero experience with any of this. Can you even run a mile?

People talk so much out of their ass here it is hilarious.

I run 20 miles a week. You haven’t been right a single time.

Oh boy. 20 miles. You must have a lot of friction at home then. It must be unbearable.

Do you have a point to make here?

Yes. Multiple posters have pointed out this is projecting nonsense. And you have yet to defend it:

“Basically anyone who gets super into a new fitness regime like marathons, triathlons, cycling, cross fit, or whatever probably finds friction at home. Acting like this is unique to just bodybuilding is weird.“

I read your post on friction, and I call projection. Lots of families talk to each other and make things like daily gym and even marathon training work. By the way, I am woman, far from a “meat head.”
