My GF gave me an ultimatum it's either her or running

First its running she wants you to give up, then it will be something else you love, and then something else, and then something else.

My advice is choose running.

And never look back.

Consider yourself dumped bro

Yes, that's how it works. Maybe if her best friends' men are also ex-runners you'll all be allowed to do a Turkey/Cuck Trot 5K once a year.

I've had a similar scenario. Except I'm married and I am a female. Husband has given me several ultimatums - him or running. When I told him I wanted to train for the Olympic Trials, he told me that would be 'selfish' and didn't want me to. Tried to compromise for a long time, but long story short we are going through a divorce. You can't make a runner not be a runner - it's who we are. Good luck, get out and RUN as fast and as far as you can. Trust me, you won't regret it. Also, she will likely never understand and make you feel like a bad person for making this decision. Just troll on LR and you'll feel better.

For me, this makes a women ten times more attractive.

OP

I'm not sure if this is just a troll, but you should never give up what you like or love for someone. You will end up resenting them. Plus, I have never heard of a girl wanting a guy to give up being healthy or creating a flat set of abs for her. Usually it's the other way around.

Word.

This should be called "The First Law of Relationships".

A similar axiom is "The difference between men and women is that women always want to change a man, men want a woman to stay the same as when they met"

On one side, I agree with the whole idea that it is lousy to ask someone to give up something they love, especially when it is a completely harmless activity.

On the other side, I am guessing you are relatively young and I can't blame her for being bored with you if you are going to bed at 10:30 or never want to do anything fun because you have to get up and run the next day.

She's actually saying "get your testosterone levels up and fvck me like a real man or get the hell out of my life".

Because everyone who runs does exactly this every day.

Nope, but a lot do.

The most dedication I have ever witnessed is someone deciding to not get totally hammered the night before a team event.
