I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 4 years now. Everything is alright, we have same interests (like computer games, rollercoasters, reptiles, we like the same food and listen to the same music) we live together for over 3 years now and we have been having some serious plans for the future too. Everything between us is fine, but...
I started working out and eating healthy about 2 years ago to keep myself in good shape and health. He really does notice the difference and it makes him happy too. It's pretty important to me now, since it's so much more than just looks. He's really going out of shape, while I'm the opposite. I tried getting him into it; he won't join me, he won't go to the gym, his friends don't exercise, he started swimming but it wasn't long lived, there's just no activity that he can enjoy. I imagine myself in my 40s, being fit and taken care of, while he will just continue to play computer games, getting chubbier and chubbier and having back and knee problems (something to do with his posture, he's even been to physio who gave him exercises to do, which he doesn't do). I have been trying to make my peace with it, but I just can't. I take care of myself, my health and well being and I would like my significant other to do that as well, simple as that.
He sees my progress and he really likes holding me and touching my toned body, why doesn't it occur to him that I would like a nice body to hold too?
I don't want advice on how to convince him, because I don't think I ever can, but my question is: If this situation annoys me, and it really really does, sometimes even puts me off spending time with him, is it worth to stay in this relationship, because I don't think I can ever change my views in this matter?
Thanks,
Put the internet to work for you.
