Especially as an exfat person. I just live a totally different lifestyle now.

Sounds to me like your “dating interest” has a lack of respect for your “vice.” People drink, smoke, read books, play video games, etc…whatever…Are they required to explain why they indulge in their vices? If so, problems are likely to materialize.

Facts

I can see both sides of this. In my case, when my husband and I were dating, I was bigger. Not HUGE but bigger. I decided to commit to health & fitness 3 years into our relationship. He’s not big on it at all, but he’s active duty so he does have to stay in some shape in order to pass his PT tests. It’s my own journey that I decided to take. But it’s also different cause I started my journey a little before we got engaged so it’s not like he knew me as a gym rat prior to us getting serious lol

*7 times a week

For real worst mistake I made was previous relationships they weren’t into their fitness like wtaf

100% I dated someone who would insult me saying “i’m no bodybuilder” only because I wouldn’t drop the gym to see him. That was the last time that man ever heard from me. You either get in the gym with me or you get out my way. Insecure men will never understand.

I’m married and my husband doesn’t go with me. If my husband ever wants to get back into working out, I’ll be the first to push him. He also understands that it’s something I enjoy and makes me feel good.

Everyone moves differently. As long as both people respect each other’s priorities and lifestyles it can work. It shouldn’t be a problem

Fitness should be a priority, not THEE priority. It’s your preference so there’s no fault in it, but there is a point where it becomes an unhealthy balance. I’ve been a coach for almost 13 years, I train hard 3x a week bc of other priorities. I think (my preference) is as long a you’re keeping your body healthy in a way that’s consistent for you then we’re good.
