Throwaway as we are both on here a lot.
GF and I, both 29, have been together for around 18 months now.
Over the last few months i have noticed that she often buys me random vitamins, teas, health/well being products. i asked her why this is the case a few weeks ago and she said that she’s just trying to look after me. Which is sweet and i understand the care, but as a physical therapist and aligned with semi professional sports teams for training and nutrition it is a little bit hard to get on board with a lot of the things she is trying to get us to do as they are often money grabber things / sketchy at best science or research behind it.
I asked why the sudden worry about this, and she said she is just trying to invest in our long term health, and she enjoys going out and eating like we do and doesnt want to necessarily harm that aspect so she’s trying to do things to allow us that yet still pay health forward.
I said i totally get it, we both enjoy eating out with freinds and family, hence why i train a few times a week, and run a few times a week. I then suggested perhaps she should look into fitness classes, pilates or something along those lines with friends or by herself, as she currently doesnt do any activities and claims her retail job on her feet is enough exercise. Once i mentioned this she completley shut me off and said that i mustnt find her attractive as she feels she doesnt need to lose weight etc. I said i didnt mean that i just merely meant that healthy long term outcomes do involve exercise etc, to which she said it is AH behaviour to mention to women about exercising.
