So... I have some history, of being a husband frustrated with a wife who refuses to take care of her body.
I think you just stated my point... I agree with OT. I'd have rebelled, as well. Actually, I did...used to eat chocolate cake in front of xh, lol. Stuffed it right in when he'd harp on that "You won't get the super-toned look you want eating that."
What I've been trying to say, gently before, was that, maybe this is one of the reasons your W has distanced herself from you...? I know you've mentioned she seems to have some hidden resentment. I'd bet money this is part of it. Often, all the complaining and little fights are covering up feelings of general unwantedness or feeling unloved.
And yes, I did take his preferences into consideration. Just wasn't going to suddenly change my entire style after we got married. When xh told me he didn't like my shoes the other day...well..I told him not to complain, as we're not married.
99...sorry for the thread hijack...felt you were getting kind of brow-beat with this workout thing. (And I'm all for it, obviously!)
