My son recently got into running and is very good at it, and often wins races for his age group. I have just had my 3rd baby and feeling quite low in myself as we all do postpartum. I struggle to spend much one on one time with him so started couch to 5k with him so we could have that time together and also to help me lose weight and feel good in myself. I barely completed week 2 and injured my knee (I am a complete beginner to exercise) so had to sit out for a week and wait until it healed before I could go again. During this time my husband decides he wants to start running too. Which felt like a kick in the teeth. He’s always been a gym goer religiously 3/4 times a week and I have known him to go for runs in the past at times, but this is different. He’s even said to my son ‘ha your not the only runner in this house you know!’ And other similar comments. He’s now not going to the gym but running entirely instead, even a couple of 10ks which I haven’t known him to do. He then announced today that he has signed up for London landmarks next year! Which he never told me. He talked about it but never said he’d entered the ballot. my main goal with this has been to help my son further his development in this sport and also get fit for myself. I’ve thought about perhaps doing a 10k one day and find the marathons inspiring but nowhere near ever doing that!! back story, my husband can be a very competitive person. He always has to be right, likes to get the last word etc. He’s often upset me in the past because he’d rather get one up on his wife just so he can say ‘ha! I was right’ to my face rather than just admit he doesn’t know something. He also never once congratulated me on my new job I got last year or said well done or he was proud of me. I was in a higher position that what he was technically and despite not earning more money I don’t think he liked that I had more responsibility and I think it hurt his manhood a bit. He then decides to go for higher positions at work, despite years of me trying to push him to do better as i genuinely believed he would do really well in a more senior role. I personally think it’s all down to an insecurity issue. it feels like he can’t stand to see me achieve something? We’ve had many an argument since having our third that I just feel invisible. I’ve pretty much been a SAHM the past 10 years and only ever worked part time. Our family is now complete and I really wanted this for me. I’ve been really struggling mentally and physically this third time round and I just don’t understand why he can’t be happy for me and let me have this one achievement for myself?
