@relationshipswithaly: First, let’s break down what went well and not so well in this conversation. ✅HE listened without getting defensive. ✅HE took a deep breath. ✅HE reflected back what he was hearing. ✅HE asked for some time to think about it and said when he would come back to it. ✅HE said I love you. ❌SHE used an “always/never” statement that probably wasn’t true. ❌SHE made a sweeping judhment about him “actually caring” ✅SHE switched to I statements with “alone and forgotten” ✅SHE shared a positively framed request. ✅SHE apologized for a harsh startup and said I love you. Sometimes a hobby takes up a lot of hours. Football season, marathon training, golf, brunch with friends. All of these things can be GREAT in moderation, but when they start to become all consuming they can cause some relationship tension, so it’s iportant to talk about prioritizing connecting time together. In a relationship, supporting your partner in their hobbies is so beautiful, AND it’s okay to ask them to cool it every now and then so you can reconnect. Disclaimer: IG is not therapy.

Joyous cook :

I am so happy she was able to say what she really needed to say when the gut reaction was exaggerated, I love the way he responded and made her feel safe to explain

Lara :

If he can intentionally organise time to run, he can intentionally organise time together. It's often the lack of intention that makes the difference.

RedDogFacts :

For me, she just seems selfish. I’m sure they have lots of under-utilized time together. Running is keeping him healthy, which is job #1 for everyone.

Steph :

I like that this shows not immediately being perfect, we have those knee jerk reactions, it’s about how we come back from them that makes a good relationship.

I can’t imagine being in a relationship with someone who would respond in such a way

This is terrible. find someone who wants you to be healthy. What’s better? 30 more years of life or 1 more hour together 4 days a week.

She should go on part of his run with him, if it’s a possibility. Quality time, good conversation, and men bond doing shoulder to shoulder activity

I stopped kendo because of this. Me playing video games at home is fine.

Jonathan :

I have a hobby that's also a quasi job that's only grown in time. It's a big source of my socializing and release. It eats into large chucks of my time. I want to prioritize my human too and how to

This is why date night is a thing. Avoids issues like this
