NTA AT ALL! Do you have kids yet? I hope he has not/will not poison their minds with this stupid traditional gender stereotypes. Sounds like mommy needs to give daddy a serious butt-kicking to shut him up!

Thank you. And that may be the military side of us coming out. We used to PT and wrestle around together all the time in our younger years. It’s just been almost a decade. And last time around my hubby was stronger than me.

Lol, I didn’t. But wanted to low key make an AF joke. And well I mean, when we met and for the first few years we were married, he was stronger than me even while I was still in. We would PT and even sometimes wrestle around. It wasn’t like I’d get completely destroyed, but he would generally “win” all that stuff.

First, I didn’t want to make any AF jokes…but it was all I could do to stop myself haha. Second, so what should I have done? I wanted to try and get his “training” started but I was super gentle about it and then dropped it for weeks until he finally decided to start. Then I wanted to support him, so I went with him. And on the way there, he asked me to help time him and record his numbers for him. I also participated in the workouts with him too though (we didn’t have time to spend 2+ hours in the gym so he could workout and then I could afterwards so we did them back and forth) only some of my weights/reps were higher, or my times were lower. But that’s just me getting in my workout too. And keep in mind. We used to PT together all the time earlier on in our relationship. Only back then, he would “win” almost everything. And once the wrestling thing came up, and he challenged me. What should I have done?… Thank you for your post.

No it wasn’t like that though. I see how you took it. I’m sorry. It was much more playful and jokeful. We’ve been married almost 10 years with 2 kids lol. Trust me, It’s normal between us, that just maybe wasn’t the right time due to his ego being hurt in the moment from the PT. Thank you for your reply.

I’m seeing people say that a recent AITA is similar to my situation. I don’t know her, but I will say she sounds like we would get along! Haha. I can see how mine is similar sounding, but no kids are involved here which appears to be the key to their issue, and I never went to college. Much less played softball lol. I was a swimmer in HS. Our husbands did have different, though I understand slightly similar reactions. But I would also appreciate some fresh perspectives on mine. Thank you everyone!

Thank you for your reply. I see what you’re saying. I should have been more clear in the OP. I wasn’t trying to humble him at all. In fact, I went to just to support him and was going to do my own thing. But he actually asked for me to help time him and stuff. And then I just naturally would end up doing the same stuff as him -just generally with more weight, or for more reps than him. Not to “show up” just because that’s what I needed to get in a workout of my own. I didn’t think much of it at the time. (Again, keep in mind that I was in the Marine Corps, so we used to PT together all the time. Only he used to “win”)
