Why is she so mad?

I have been into fitness since I was 15/16 years old. Whether it’s working out myself or as a personal trainer. It has been apart of my life for a long time. So when it comes to dating or in a relationship with someone you would expect I would want someone that is into fitness herself as I am. I didn’t care, to be honest. Just as long as she workout regularly I am fine with that. 2 or 3 times a week is fine. Anyway I eventually married a cross fitter. She worked out 4-6 times a week. She is incredible.

Eventually, we discussed to bring a little person into the world. Let’s face it, when a baby is brought into this world, who sacrifices the most? The woman. She sacrifices her body, mind and time. As time went on and our child started in daycare and other things I noticed my wife wasn’t happy as she once was. She married me, why isn’t she happy?

It took some time for me to actually LISTEN to what she was saying to me. She needs to workout. She needs to workout to be alone with her thoughts and be away from the responsibility of being a mom. And there’s nothing wrong with that. She’s an incredible mom but needs a break. Me being stubborn though, I just left it up to her. This is something what we both need to tackle together.

It was tough finding someone that is consistent and reliable to take care of our little one. Also, expensive but when it comes to our well being, there shouldn’t be a cost. I don’t believe in “happy wife, happy life,” BUT in this case her happiness is important. If someone in a relationship isn’t happy, the relationship will suffer.

I can tell the difference when my wife works out and when she doesn’t. I’m not talking about the physical appearance but the attitude and her happiness. As a husband, it’s my responsibility to make sure my wife is financially, emotionally, mentally and physically supported.
