Now I have really been trying to get in better shape, work out more, eat better, and just in general take care of myself. This is something I decided for myself. But recently, over the past couple months, it seems like every time we talk it's about how I can get better... and the problem is I don't know if it is her being supportive of these new habits, or her trying to improve me.
For example, recently I had a couple extremely stressful days at work, so I just wanted to come home, order take out and watch tv/play video games. I needed to do nothing. I told her that I was "ordering comfort food" and she responded with "why do you need comfort food? Healthy eating is a comfort! and you can go work out, because a work out can really relieve stress" I had been eating healthy and working out all week, but after the days I had, I had no interest in those things. This seemed more like her trying to mold me into the man she wants...
I've noticed this with other things. She has told me in the past that I am too silly and goofy, and we don't have debates nearly enough. I try to be a really easy going kind of person, I've had a lot of hardships, so I actively try to look at the bright side of things. I also took offense to her saying that I was too silly and goofy, because not many people view that as a negative... I understand if it is all the time, but I know when to turn it off and be serious.
Have you guys ever had a significant other try to change you or mold you into someone that you're not?
