I Really, Really Don't Want to Go on a Little Walk
Q
My girlfriend just started working out and being really deliberate about her protein intake and joined a book club. She wants to go to bed early instead of watching TV after work. All of these things are so great for her and I’m honestly proud of her dedication and drive, but here’s the thing. I don’t want to work out or think about protein and I want to watch TV and go to bed when I feel like it, but she keeps inviting me to join her in these things. She brought up walking around our neighborhood after work instead of watching TV and this sounds like torture to me! How can I encourage her to keep doing what she wants but to leave me out of it, and if I do that, will it harm our relations...
