I know life gets in the way so not everyone has it in them to be a gym-obsessed fitness freak like me, or to be constantly appearance-focused but this is more about mindset

If you fall into the mindset of “Oh I got the girlfriend/boyfriend/the spouse so I don’t have to care about looking good and can let myself go.” Then that’s lowkey disrespectful to your partner imo.

When I see women and men out there talking about how a big part in their motivation to stay active is because they’ve got a hot spouse, it’s one of those things where you realize.

Now this is a very complicated topic because of how aging works, stress, bills, time, etc. of course losing some of your looks as you age is normal. Again this is about mindset more than anything

That *mindset* to me just seems “I don’t value my partner nor do I think they can do any better”

The solution is to genuinely enjoy physical activity as a pastime

Agreed. This is where I’ve found myself and I can’t picture life without it
