A serious note to bros in good relationships

[-SD-]

SWV alert.

Sometimes I get carried away with my own progress, and I say or do things that show it. My wife and I had a 3 hour talk last night about this. My marriage is by far more important to me that my body and my appearance or accomplishments. Evidently, I had been making comments about myself, and forgot to acknowledge my wife. She is a great woman, and she supports me 100% in my sport, and she would never want me to do any less with my life. But the flip side of that, is that she might not show it if I'm a little too much into myself, and by the time I find out I was doing it, her feelings are hurt. And that's not good.

Bottom line is; if you're in a good relationship, remember you need to appreciate your partner's physique equally with your own, or there will be ignored emotions and hurt feelings one way or the other.

It's all good now, but I thought I should say something here, as self-appreciation is part of the reasons some of us are in this sport (and passion), in most cases. Don't get carried away on yourself. In stead of complaining to you wife that your pecs are not quite as squared as you want them, just tell her that you love the way her (whatever is your favorite part on her) looks.

All that I just said applies to those of us in good relationships... If you're a player, that's different.

I cherish my long-term relationship, but a little perspective here bro!

 

[DannoMight]

my wife always say "whatever, you don't need to get any bigger. your already too big." but i don't see what she is talking about

You're still missing the point you self centered MF'r!
It's not all about you & your appreciation for your and her physical attributes. If she's a woman, she emotional and you'd better be prepared to address her emotions or there's still a smoldering ember that will burst into a bonfire at some point. Trust me, I know.

Are you a narcissist?
What did you say or do to make your wife feel this way?
Women forgive but never forget.

Women forgive but never forget.

Never a truer word spoken. Wimminz be great for casting up.
