Wet Ears Posted August 28, 2012 Share I have so many mates in the same position , wife bitching . Never understood it.I must have the best wife on earth , she supports me fully ( even the days I don't feel like getting up to ride I get a kick in the side and get told to HTFU ) and even buys my cycling stuff, pulls through to all the races , camps out at the stage races ect. last weekend I get back from my rides to lunch Maybe she prefers having you out of the house Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/119913-my-wife-hates-my-cycling/page/3/#findComment-1761892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramrod Posted August 28, 2012 Share Ok , try this . It's a win win for both of you . I got two kids too and my wife as I said gives my no crap about riding , I been doing it for 25 odd years and we been together for 9 odd. Ride early mornings in the week , and on weekends do the same , but tell her that she needs her " me time too" so when you get back from riding she must go out with mates for tea, shopping something to have her own time/ hobbies ect , then when she is back its your time with her. Take her to dinner , movie out to flea markets something to break the routine of you riding coming home and then some . Make her feel special as she is letting you ride and you appreciate it , show her this . Also get her involved in a hobby she likes and then support it 100 % .I would prefer to just borrow your wife. If it comes from a woman it would seem better that if i said Iron from the Hub said so. lol Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/119913-my-wife-hates-my-cycling/page/3/#findComment-1761896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

W@nna-BE Posted August 28, 2012 Share I sometimes have the same issue. I am married and we have four kids. the youngest being 2,5 years old. She feels that she doesnt have time to do things for herself anymore blah blah blah .......... It is difficult and i am not for one minute going to say i have the answer. In order to try keep the peace i train on the indoor trainer at night when she sleeps which sucks because we dont really spend time together. I also get up very early on weekends to try and be home while they are having breakfast. My biggest saving grace is that i cycled before i met her. When i met her i stopped cycling for a year. I became overweight and exteremly grumpy. She told me i had to start cycling again and i use that against her every time she tries to give me attitude. What has also helped is that i sometimes HAVE TO just miss a day of training here and there to try and keep the peace. I hope you come right and if you do please share the secret!good advise, thank you i am also doing some time on the trainer once everyone is asleep, but its tough getting onto the trainer at 9;30pm Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/119913-my-wife-hates-my-cycling/page/3/#findComment-1761901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigghead Posted August 28, 2012 Share hey Hubbers anyone have the same issue as me!my wife hates my cycling! she is always complaining when i want to ride and its really impacting on my training! she has actually made me feel guilty for wanting to ride! guess i am going to have to start do the 4;30am rides story Not going to help much, but my wife is the same. I'm up at 03h50 to be on the trail by 04h25 to meet my riding partners. Lucky their wives hate them riding as well :-) Never mind the odd time I'm late due to technical issues. Don't get me started on races, I only do a race every 2 months or so, but that's far more than enough. I've bought her a bike. It's done 400km or so in 2yrs and I'm not allowed to sell it in order to fund my upgrade either. I'm thinking of "taking it for a service to Cajees" and saying it was "nicked from the workshop" and that they have this f~rking sign saying they're not responsible for loss or damage etc. Ramrod and Andro 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/119913-my-wife-hates-my-cycling/page/3/#findComment-1761908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigghead Posted August 28, 2012 Share good advise, thank youi am also doing some time on the trainer once everyone is asleep, but its tough getting onto the trainer at 9;30pm Four kids? After all that, I'm surprised she doesn't encourage you to ride more often. Maybe you should also buy a TV?
