Mate and lifting

[anthrax]

I have a couple of friends (guys) whose relationship/marriage broke because their GF/wife ask them to give up their BB life style (frequent workouts, 'special' diet, supplements, etc)

Do you think a relationship with a mate who does not share your lifting habits is viable in the long run ?

No way it is viable. People in a relationship have to accept each other's interests. Those dudes should have asked their women to give up shopping in return.

I think it's important not only to do things together but to also have separate interests...... The important thing is to NOT give up exercising just because your SO isn't into it....

Why would someone ask you to give up something that is healthy for you? Sounds like these where women you wouldnt want to be with in the first place.

Excellent point!

They are probably insecure women who don't feel "complete" unless they are either constantly with their SO or have a baby.....
