She won’t butt out. At first I took it as “okay, she means well”, but now I don’t know. I took a long break from dating and was fine just being single, and she says “nope, you’re 40 now and you’ve been single too long. You need a man in your life. Since you’re friends with me you’re getting a man whether you want one or not” (she loves to matchmake). I realize she has a point, so I get on Facebook dating. She saw me on the apps one day at lunchtime (we work together) and she’s telling me who to swipe right on, who to swipe left on, etc and when I didn’t swipe right on a guy she told me too, she literally took my phone out of my hand and swiped on a whole bunch of guys because I (according to her) “clearly don’t know how to pick men”. Eventually I did match with a guy who I really liked, we’ve been dating for almost a year, and she doesn’t like him. Apparently she’s got someone all picked out who she wants to fix me up with (who’s a really nice guy and financially well off but I’m not attracted to him). The guy understands and said it’s fine but she won’t stop and says “this guy’s perfect for you, and your boyfriend’s a loser. Dump him and give this other guy a chance.” (The guy is definitely loaded and my boyfriend supports himself well, but he treats me well and we make each other happy).

she’s gotten to the point where she’s literally taken my phone out of my hand and texted my boyfriend from my phone making really ridiculous demands on him (like demanding he get me a Louis Vuitton bag for my birthday which I know he can’t afford). She’s caused some bad fights between us this way.

I’ve tried telling her to butt out but she doesn’t. She’s dating a guy who is 25 years older than us and is trying to push me to date much older as well. My boyfriend is early 40’s, like me. Nothing wrong with dating older men, but if I’m happy why can’t she just butt out?

If you tried the same workout routine as your partner, would you succeed or would it be too hard or otherwise impossible? Would it fail for Endurance, strength or because of other complications?

I tried my husbands' workout routine today, and I was kinda surprised about some results.

• I beat his leg workout.
• I failed his arm workout by a long-shot.
• I got closer than I thought with his torso workout but failed.
• As we sometimes go jogging together, we are on par with that, although he could go faster while I could go longer.

I do know he fails most of mine. I do 95% body-weight exercises so that gives him a disadvantage.

So I think I do beat him with endurance but other than leg-focused parts, he is at least stronger in every other aspect. So workouts don't necessarily means actually being stronger, but it's an interesting comparison I think.

As an add-on for a bit of clarification; I did a mixture of his exercises because normally he does different stuff on different days. I just tried nearly everything on one day but stopped when I couldn't do it, which gave us time to try more. I didn't do his full weekly plan in one day, but I tried most things.
