My fiance can be such a jerk sometimes

I'm really trying hard to do this whole lifestyle change thing and I like to exercise outside. It gets dark so early these days, though, and I can only go after work. We're really close to the projects in Baltimore and he keeps telling me I shouldn't run there at night, but I NEED to get my workout in.

I'm pretty sure he just doesn't want me to lose weight. It's just his insecurity, thinking I'll leave him if I do. Anyone else dealing with an unsupportive SO?

    Yeah, I kicked him in the balls and made him move out.

    He doesn't want you running near the projects at night and that's because of his insecurity??? Uh, no. Sounds to me like he just wants you to be safe. Is there somewhere else you can run that isn't near the projects? Can you stick to the treadmill until daylight savings time starts? Could you run during lunch? Sorry OP, but if I was in your fiance's situation, I would likely feel the same way.

    I'm not suggesting you change it to keep HIM happy; I'm suggesting you change it to keep YOU safe. It's a good idea to work on a compromise on something like this. Him worrying about your safety is a good thing.

    I think that might be the answer.

    I forgot to add that once we went to the grocery store together and after we left he said something about how he thought the cashier was pretty. He says things like that, which obviously means he thinks I'm fat and ugly, and then won't even support me running at night in the projects.

    Well his fears sound perfectfully rational...high chance of being mugged, raped or who knows what. I would worry about those things myself if I ran in a risky area at night

    I think he is scared you are gonna pick up another dude from the projects who appreciates you. Also he is just jealous.

    I'm so glad SOMEONE understands.

    Seriously, all of you who have nothing supportive to say should just move on. This is MY thread.

    I dunno. I've been told a bear a strong resemblance to Howard Stern. Are you sure you want that?

    This is why I stay with this unsupportive man. I mean, a woman who looks like Howard Stern doesn't have many options.

    This sounds like a soon to be marriage that will end rather quickly....there is something called communication and compromise that you should be working on with your fiancé not us!
