AIBU for pulling H up on his habit of taking the piss out of me if I attempt to exercise?

Because he is feeling sorry for himself now.
Im obese, high heart rate, mobility problems due to chronic pain and in menopause.
Over the past few months Ive been making slow, steady changes to improve my health. Im now at the point where I can start to up my cardio so as well as going for long walks Ive started the couch to 5k . Im doing that on our treadmill until I feel more confident. I usually do this when H is out of the house, however he is at home today and has just followed me out to where the treadmill is , asking if Im going to run for 30 seconds , laughing at his own joke, should he have an ambulance on standby ect. I finished my session then came in and calmly asked him why he would do that ?! Its very out of character for him.
Apparently he was only joking- asked him to explain the joke.
Ive now been told Ive no sense of humour. He has been told that if he cannot be supportive, or at the very least keep his stupid comments to himself , he can stay well away from me when Im exercising.

He is feeling bad that he is not taking care of himself and is deflecting that on to you.

Its not your problem that he feels that way - he should grow up and own his feelings.

Well done on starting C25K.

What a twat.

Well done OP for making positive changes. People sometimes feel threatened by others making positive life changes.

Some one like this can only generally be a twat

someone who behaves like this towards his wife… well the marriage must be bloody awful on every level
