Guess what My wife told me that other day..(So far she does not share my cycling addiction.) When I am on midnights, she likes the freedom of not being pestered for awhile.
Think she is serious.?
Everyone needs their own space.Because you do not share some interests, there are others...? I do believe a cycling addict is uncurable..It is not an addiction. It is a need.
Some will not change..Does his love of getting on the bike say he does not care for you? I probably spend about 20 hours a week on the bike. We still have time for each other.
If he cares for you and finds time for you; I just ask yourself, do you respect his needs, at least attempt to share in it one way or another. Does he totally ignore you? Might you be a control freak?
Yes, if he does not have the ocassional ride where he shortens it to make way for the two of you,then there are problems..
Example..we wife became involved in my bike group...She headed the sag support car, we had together in France..She went with one other non-cycling spouse and saw lots, but later we were all together..She had a good time and did not regret connecting with my bike people.
There are solutions..Sorry this subject intruques me..I encounter it all the time with others.
