you see what i'm talking about? you have a girl you love and things you love to do. but u realize it's almost a given that for some reaon you will not be allowed to do things you love once you get married. why? why can't you keep doing the (positive) things you love? she is the same person she was b4 the marriage license was issued, why can't she respect the things you love to do afterwards?

my ex gave me an ultimatum: "you have to get your priorities straight , and decide what is more important to you, the gym or your marriage" i thought about it and realized she was right, i had to get my priorities straight. a good fighter can always get another woman, so i got rid of her. my life is better now that i have my priorities straight.

well said
