do u gain motavation when a spouse is mean 2 u? or does that make you lose motavation? such as being rude/ ignoring you/lack of communication when you want 2 talk 2 them/ sarcastic remarks...? because that makes me want to look even hotter but at the same time that negative energy makes me wanna eat my favorite junk food and cuddle up by myself and take a bath... I always get better with my break ups outside but miserable inside.... ah.... this can do wonders 2 the sucess on here :( I just think some people need to grow up.... when the goods are great the bads are worse..... hate my life sometimes.... :(

    Your spouse should be supportive of you. My long-term boyfriend of seven years is incredibly supportive of the healthy meals I cook, the exercises I do and is more than happy to help me and join me anytime I need that motivation and support.

    You deserve the same.

    I can't imagine it would be easy to have motivation when your spouse is not being supportive of you, emotionally or physically. You need to talk to your spouse and tell them how you feel. Sadly, if they want no part in changing their attitude, you may want to consider that you might be happier out of the marriage.

    Don't ever let someone take away your joy.

    I have to agree with the previous poster. I've been with my boyfriend for about four years and he has never been, "mean" to me...he has never been anything but supportive of me and all my endeavors.

    Hes probably just saying discouraging things to you because he's insecure at the thought of you looking better and feeling better? BTW looking at your picture your beautiful as you are!

    I gained motivation--it was a wake-up about how I had basically eaten all my stress onto my body. Exercise helped with stress reliever & I became healthier & better looking. Oh, and we're divorced. Life is too short to be badly treated! There are enough people to make us feel bad--it should NOT be the people who are supposed to support us the most! I hope you are comfortable enough to let him know how much his rudeness hurts you & he shapes up... :(

    I'm sorry you're feeling down! Spouse or significant other should be a supportive person in your life. If not either get rid of him or use the feelings to increase your strength and determination if at all possible. Good luck :flowerforyou:

    My boyfriend is never mean to me. And why should he be? Why should people who love and care for each other be mean to each other?

    Break up. That's not how a relationship should work.

    If my partner was "mean" to me, I'd be ditching him. It's either a partnership or it's not and that includes support for your dreams and goals (and your support for his).

    You deserve better. Don't let motivation be an excuse to stay in a bad relationship. Life is too short.

    that would make him not my spouse any more....

    my husband would never do any of those things, he loves me, so he isnt mean to me...

    Honestly- and it is that simple, you don't hurt the ones you love. Its one thing to once in a while say the wrong thing, but a loving partner is your friend, he cares about his words and your heart, and would not do anything to intentionally hurt you. If you have had this conversation and it continues, you have to ask yourself how much emotional abuse you are willing to take- because that is not love. You may love him, but no one who loves someone hurts them (I hate to give relationship advice without knowing everything)- but these are basics of true love- which is good and kind at all times, which cherishes your heart for what it is, something that is tremendous in love, but can also be broken.

    Wish you well- the choices you make in diet and fitness are yours, you live with the results, good or bad. Also, no one can take anything away from you unless you let them!

    If my spouse was constantly mean and snidey to me it would motivate me to drop 155 pounds in 5 minutes :)

    I'm with the pp-if my spouse were MEAN to me by saying condescending remarks, I'd get hot and LEAVE! That is emotional ABUSE. Yeah, he may not be punching your face, but if he is destroying your self worth, same difference. I hope you can find strength inside and out, become the person YOU want to be and then decide if that person is worth it in the end.
