Competing and going to world's every year since 2012 hasn't affected my relationship at all. I think you need to compartmentalize your life, me at home is different to me in comp. I never let a bad workout or run of bad workouts affect the rest of my life I did get obsessed but I didn't let it affect my day to day life. To maintain healthy relationships you can't let it alter how you behave with others. My partner would describe me as being obsessed but it shouldn't stop you from having normal relationships.

Mine liked it when it suited her and the bragging rights having someone who competed in strongman but then used posting pictures of me on holiday in my shorts on fb against me. But I suppose the old saying break ups make bodybuilders is true I've never trained as hard or consistently in years although some of it might be subliminal as they don't like teachers having criminal records for gbh so I can't batter the guy she had the affair with so channel it into the weights

I dont see why youd have any issue with the guy? Unless he was a friend or something then he owes you no loyalty. Cant blame him for taking what was offered to him.

Unless he's completely in the dark, which is unlikely, any guy messing with a married/taken women should know that he risks losing a few teeth.

agreed if you are trying to push things on with a woman you know is married then you are complicit in her affair and fair game to be subject of grief from husband and anyone else in his circle (i've messed around with a married woman so no moral superiority on my part - all i can advise is it ends in tears)

Why did wearing shorts on holiday cause your breakup? Were they short shorts?

I've definitely transitioned into taking a more flexible approach since going from banging randoms to having actual relationships.

Also, much like aaron_lohan I practice compartmentalization with it too, I don't talk to my partner about lifting unless she brings it up, the same with anyone in my life who doesn't though.

Plus she definitely enjoys that I have something else going on in my life than work/ pub/ tv/ social media.

Talking about powerlifting is the same as talking to her about the LBW rule, the off-side rule .. pointless .. but don't get too much hassle so far. That might change soon as I have a plan to put my new gym in a section of the dining room as it's got a solid concrete floor where my alternate hasn't .. just 8ft x 4ft with platform and rack on top of platform.. hardly unreasonable I think

If she wont let you have half the dining room for so noble a cause you need to ask if she is really committedto the relationship.
