After almost 4 years of m...Hey Melanie, great post. After almost 4 years of marriage I have struggled with this as well. Rick and I started our marriage doing everything together. We signed up for triathlons, so we trained together on a regular basis. It was great...until he decided he didn't want to do races any more. I had to choose between spending relaxing down time with him or hitting the streets and training by myself, and it was horrible. I started hating every second of exercising (which had previously been a great source of joy). But I also found myself resenting him when I wasn't training, so really I was miserable on all fronts. <br /><br />After about a month of self-loathing I realized that I couldn't allow my husband's wants to affect my needs (primarily the need to fit into my jeans) and I aired up the tires and hit the road. It's been great and I actually have learned to enjoy the alone time that I once coveted during my single days. It's a balancing act for sure and I know you handle it wonderfully! ~kalykerwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409789302107965481noreply@blogger.com
