Wow you guys are wimps. You let your wives push you around? No wonder this country is going down the tubes.
If you can't stand up for your rights as a person, how can you be expected to open up on important political issues like immigration and government waste?
You can't. You've been programmed to be beta males, and not alpha males.
Your children will end up not respecting you, your wife will only use you until your 'all used up', and when you're older you will even begin to question your manhood.
I'm female and my husband likes that I run and stay slim. He hates fat chicks, which is a plus.
I have to agree with the above poster. I can't even imagine trying to tell my husband that he couldn't take the dog for long walks or go out with friends when he wanted. Seriously, he'd be like "Um. No." and I respect him for it because he is happy and he wants me to be happy.
For the OP, do what you think is reasonable or else you will seriously resent your wife. She already resents you, but that is actually her problem. She isn't happy or in shape and wants you to be the same. Who knows, maybe if you stick to your guns and continue to offer her help and offer to create opportunities for her to have some time for herself, who knows... maybe she will become happier and become more supportive of your running.
