Unsupportive dh

dh and I have been together around 16 years, met at school, stayed together. 3 house moves and 1 dc later still relatively happy.

My weight has gone up and down over the years (lowest being 10st when we married, hightest 16st a few months ago)

Had various half hearted attempts to lose it but something clicked in January this year and since then I have been making a massive effort with my eating and exercise. I started swimming regularly but then when the gyms shut I turned to running.

I have lost 2 stone since lockdown (3 since the beginning of the year, with 3 more to go until I hit my target)

More than anything though I am enjoying running and feeling fitter than I have done in a long time.

Dh doesn't share my enthusiasm tho. Now things are opening back up, If i mention trying to find time to go for a run, its met with 'aren't you bored yet!' Or 'don't you want to spend time with me' (I normally run either first thing in the morning or after dc has gone to bed) I make sure that I spend time with him, and dc so neither are missing out. Or dc gets some quality time with dh as well.

To add as well, I have remained working during lockdown, as has dh. He works shifts so has had a lot more time off than me, most of which he hasn't done anything for. Dc has also been at home and most of that has fallen to me even when I have been working.

Feeling a bit deflated at the moment

Ignore him, you’ve done so well and I wish I could get motivated to do this! He needs to get a hobby to interest him rather than chipping away at you.

Has he put weight on? Is he jealous of your motivation? Well done, anyway, that's a fantastic achievement!

Sounds like he's jealous of you. Perhaps he feels threatened that you're losing weight?

Well done - you're doing brilliantly!
