THE Article

If you look at workout widows, one of the first things brought up is a Wall Street Journal article focusing on a family from New York and the effect the husband’s obsessive behavior has on the rest of the family.  Here is the article:

A Workout Ate My Marriage


When you read it, make sure to check out the comments- they run the gamut from insightful to mind numbing.  I'm not going to give much commontary on this article.  It's best you review this one on your own.  All I have to say is that if my wife was half as bad as this guy it would cause major problems.  Anyone who admits his behavior is selfish but deflects any meaningful change in behavior even after having a mini-intervention has some seriously screwed up priorities.  That’s not being driven; it’s just being an asshole.   

They also touch on my next topic, the idea of exercising together.  Believe me; I’ll have plenty to say about that next time.

Thanks
Dave
