I know this has been discussed here before but not for several years, so I thought I'd start a new thread and let some newer member contribute.
I'm recently married and my wife, at best, tolerates my working out and eating habits. I cut back my weight workout from 4 days to 3 days a week after the wedding but still eat clean (lots of chicken, tuna, oatmeal, rice, shakes, etc.) for most of the week.
I hardly even talk about bodybuilding. I don't make it seem like I'm "depriving myself" because I won't get dessert or drink a beer most of time when we go out to dinner and I've never said we couldn't go somewhere or do something because of bodybuilding.
We do spend lots of time together. When I'm not at work or at the gym I'm with her. We will see my friends but usually we're together so it's not as if though I go out on my own a lot. I certainly don't.
Any advice for how I can get her to be more supportive or at least more tolerant of my working out? She did dabble in the gym before we met but hates the diet and has stopped training since the wedding. She said she'd want to go with me but when I suggest it she never follows through and comes.
