Whenever DH wants to go out for a run or to the gym I get really annoyed.
His timing is usually really inconvenient e.g he sees me starting to get dinner out to prepare and says "have I got time for a run before dinner's ready?" (not "can I help you get dinner ready/lay the table/help with DCs homework? etc) I know he has to take the free time when he gets it, but I still feel really narked by it.
I know I should be glad that he's getting himself fit, but I'm just jealous and resentful that its all he seems to think about. I started running before him, but got an injury which left me unable to go for a few weeks, so then he started and is getting totally into it, logging his runs, wittering on about energy shakes and gels etc.
I just find myself feeling unreasonably angry whenever he wants to go and feeling really pissed off that he's losing weight and basically 'stole' my hobby! I know its stupid and I should just get back to it, but he's so far ahead of me that if we run together he uses my run as a warm-up then goes out afterwards for 'a proper run', so I think why bother?
Yesterday he mentioned that if we went away to Rome (never gonna happen) for a long weekend, he'd probably get lost running round the city. Even during his fantasy 'romantic' weekend he's off on his own bloody running
