Meanwhile, I rode my Beach Cruiser 15 miles from work when my car was in the shop earlier this year. It didn't even occur to me to ask him for a ride.
I probably shouldn't enable him, but he got so emotional
the last time he had to ride back on my bike from the mechanic. It was under a mile on a MUP, and he kept saying, "I just had a really
hard time coming home on your bike."
Bottom line is that
he owes me one.
Want a new boyfriend? I like to ride and I am chubby but its going away.
Seriously now, he better man up for his own good health, not to mention he is losing the respect of his woman.
Maybe he might enjoy other types of exercise and you can each enjoy your own thing. Sometimes its a good thing to have your own interests apart from each other. Then again, you have to wonder about someone not being able to ride under a mile and crying about how rough it was. He may get worse about this in the future. You are the only one who can decide if its worth putting up with....... I mean his not caring about his health and his general lazy attitude.
