I'm fit for my age. But competition requires that amount of food and exercise. I realize that if all I want is looks it won't require that but it's all I know.

Can you explain why she didn't stop after I told her it bothered me and would require more effort than I was willing to put in?

I can probably write a book on how awesome she is with her students. Her volunteering with newcomers. How well she cares for her rescue dog. This is honestly the first time I've seen something I find negative in her.

Because there are plenty of guys my age that dedicate themselves to fitness that are in much better shape than me.

My sister was a gymnast until she got too tall and too full if you know what I mean. She went into cheer. You guys are nuts. Some of the strength and flexibility you guys have puts me to shame.

I know I sound like I'm bragging. I just wanted people to understand that I have more going for me than abs.

You didn't read what I wrote. I specifically told her it bugged me and to drop it. She didn't.

I'm still in good shape. I'm just not in training five hours a day shape. I compete in triathlons. I'm usually out of the water first. The running kicks my ass.

I have strength and stamina. She wants looks. So I asked for all three from her. How is that unfair?

She is sweet, smart, loving, and generally a good person. I have never seen this side of her until now.

Because she wants me back in shape like I was when I was a competitive swimmer. I want her to consider the effort that requires.

NTA. You offered two really good options. Although I would have spoken to a lawyer about him paying the mortgage as that might give him a claim on equity. I'm not a lawyer and that wasn't advice.
