His Fiancée Is Accusing Him Of Not Supporting Her Weight Loss Journey, But He’s Offered Many Compromises That She Refuses To Work With Him On
Just yesterday, this man’s fiancée suggested that she wanted to lose some weight. And since he’s always been really supportive of her goals, he asked how he could best help her on her journey.
At that point, his fiancée essentially asked for an exercise partner– wanting him to go on walks with her and work out with her in the evenings.
But they both work from home, and he is typically exhausted by nighttime. That’s why he told his fiancée that she knew working out at night just was not his thing. After all, once he finishes a long day of work, he just wants to relax.
So, he decided to propose a compromise instead.
“Could we meet in the middle and do the afternoons instead?” he asked.
“I’m not saying I won’t attend any of the workouts, but I can’t dedicate time for that when the evening is my wind-down time.”
Well, his fiancée wasn’t very receptive to his idea and claimed that working out in the afternoon would conflict with their work schedule.
Still, he didn’t give up and suggested another alternative: his fiancée joins him for his morning workout routines sometimes.
“So we can balance it out. She can join my morning routine on occasion while I do the same for her in the evening,” he reasoned.

His fiancée just gave him more excuses for why that wouldn’t work, though, saying that the mornings are tough for her. Apparently, she likes to eat first prior to working out and allow some time for digestion. Then, she started accusing him of being unsupportive and claiming that his response “wasn’t welcoming.” And this caused him to honestly blow up.
He pointed out how if he wasn’t being supportive, then he wouldn’t have tried to find a middle ground that would work for the both of them.
“Why do you expect me to meet you where you are, but you aren’t willing to do the same for a morning workout?” he wondered. “If you’re really serious about losing weight, the time of day won’t matter.”
According to him, this is a recurrent issue in their relationship, too. His fiancée is constantly telling him that he’s not being supportive, but he thinks she just has a different perspective on “support” than he does.
He claimed that to feel supported, he doesn’t require a ton of involvement or “handholding.” His fiancée, on the other hand, wants him to be attentive to her every need.
“It’s [freaking] tiring at times,” he vented.
Regardless, his fiancée is still upset with him over their workout argument. So now, he’s not sure if he really isn’t being supportive of her weight loss goals or not.
Does it sound like he tried to offer solutions and compromises? Why do you think his fiancée is so set on believing that he’s not being supportive? What can he do to reconcile this situation?
