When I worked days I would get up at 0430 to hit the gym before my 12 hr shift. My husband made fun of me for going to bed at 2030 every night. Then in a typically female passive aggressive fashion I got sick of him giving me a hard time for prioritizing the gym so I said “fine, I’ll give up.” I gave up the gym for a year, gained 30lb of fat and never put out. I was depressed and always wanted to sleep. And I stopped cooking for him. After that he begged me to go back to the gym and have my routine the way I wanted. I’m committed to my subversive aggression, if nothing else.

This is the kind of story, coupled with my own personal experiences, that prevents me nowadays for dating a girl who doesn’t do sports/works out

So many fun things require a bit of suffering, hiking, mtb’s, and lots of other outdoor activities. Plus sometimes in life you just have to suffer at times.
I feel like the girls who workout, and actually work out are so much better about this and are able to “suffer” through things and still have fun or remain positive. My current girlfriend doesn’t work out, and absolutely sucks at suffering

Need me a woman like this! .
Im gonna take advantage of the setup and fire away an existential question, that i’ve yet to crack. Since we’re on the subject anyway.
Am i a masochist or a sadist if i thourghly enjoy punishing myself and put myself through suffering?
I’ve made previous posts about my wife’s attempts at exercise and weight loss. Where she likes the duration of HIIT and the effort of LISS. So invited “Low Intensity Interval Training”. And a diet plan that swang from low carb to low fat to IIFYM depending on her mood/desired food.
But it’s not just refined to my wife or women.
People want out with no input. There are a lot of TRT guys like that.
But it’s not even just health and exercise related. I manage people at work. And so many of them want the extra money or title of a promotion. But are not willing to step up to the plate in terms of input.
Either before or after.
Confession;
In the last 3 weeks I’ve spent £800 on gym gear and used almost non of it. I need to cut myself an axle bar this weekend.

Masochist. A masochist “enjoys” pain and suffering, a sadist enjoys inflicting it.

Wait, you did all this for ONE YEAR just because he made fun of you? Woah.
And it took not cooking for him for him to finally crack?
It was a ways up the thread but y’all hating on the supermarket are wrong. I’ve tried going less because of Covid but still end up going multiple times per week, it’s amazing, especially during non-peak hours.

You try going to one of those mega big ones with my wife. It’s worse than shopping for shoes.

I should’ve added, I only like doing it by myself. Sometimes I’ll be in and out in 6 minutes, sometimes I’ll spend 4 minutes deciding which type of cheese I want for for my hamburgers. Going with my gf makes me want to scream, she doesn’t understand my nonsensical shopping cadence.

I used to live next to the largest Ikea in the world (it’s been surpassed, apparently) and my ex was Swedish. I went there way too frequently and for way too many hours.

However, the worst are those “night markets” Shoes, handbags, leggings, everything. I’ve spent 5 hours at one of these places.

IKEA is my dad’s definition of hell on earth. There’s a 7 or so story one in Shanghai that takes at least 1/2 an hour just to walk through
