Bodybuilding Lifestyle and Relationships

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

I am not to sure how to start this, so I will just let er rip!

I was recently dumped by a girl I had dated for a while who was talking about marriage and stuff like that right up until the end.  Less than a week later she is dating someone else.  I think the end had to do with my highly disciplined lifestyle.  I have worked out and had a “bodybuilder” lifestyle since I was 15, but since I had know her (the past two years) I have been battling back from a severely sprained neck and blown-out back from a car accident.  I fought off having her as a g/f for the majority of that time because I did not think that I would be a good b/f because I was a “gimp” and we became “best friends” in the process.  I learned to trust her completely because she fought so hard to earn it.  I am not the most trusting guy in the world and once she got everything she wanted, she did not want it anymore.  I think it had a lot to do with my not living a “normal” lifestyle even though I told her that was how it was going to be long before we ever got to that stage of the game.  Not only that, I made a lot of compromises that were not in my best interest to help make it easier on her.

I guess before I turn this into a huge novel I will get right to the point, do you any of you think that having this type of lifestyle is keeping you from enjoying your life fully?  I have found that it is really difficult to find someone that has what it takes to understand that I need to eat clean all of the time (for my health to continue to recover from my accident, not just for my appearance) and that being disciplined is a very good quality to have….to go along with my amazing sense of humor (I always had her and everyone else rolling) that is not featured here on this post due to my state of mind.

Any feedback is appreciated if you can relate or have any insight! ;)
