    I always wonder if I were to go down hill (weight-wise) will my bf or husband help support me or leave me.
    A good friend once told me that if his spouse gets too big he would encourage her to going running with him or make her join the gym. Ultimately, if her weight continued to increase because of laziness he would leave.. So it depends if you choose to change your lifestyle because a man can't change it for you..

    I could care less either way. I do it for me and no one else. You can join me or you can move aside.

    I don't think it matters that much. My husband is very busy and likes to relax in his spare time. He is supportive of my fitness goals and that is all that matters. Sometimes we play tennis or golf together but I don't expect him to workout 5-6 days per week like I do.

    I got together with my wife -- before she was my wife -- because we both liked to run. I think that is pretty common and natural; that is, you share common likes and habits with your significant other.
