Will this hypothetical love relationship work? One of the partners is in excellent physical shape,regularly works out, watching what they eat, and body weight conscious; the other partner doesn’t do any exercise, overweight, eats anything, and can care less about their body or health. I personally don’t see how this love relationship can last. What do you think?





















Everyone is different and are at different stages in their lives. Maybe, couch potato lived in the streets when they were younger and now there is no interest. (and vice versa for health conscious) Maybe they should plan trips together, outside of the area where they live. It is easy to become bored when you have lived in one place for a long time.
When they met, were both people who they are today – couch potato and health conscious? What attracted them to each other? Opposites attract but what they have in common is what will keep them together.
It can work if the couch potato is willing to get up off the couch and particiapte in life with health conscious, occassionally. If couch potato watches sports, then they can go to games together, movies (theaters, plays), etc Couch potato can eat junk food and health conscious can compromise and appreciate being out-of-the-house.
Likewise, health conscious will have to give up time to sit on the couch for couch potatoes sake. They can watch healthy eating programs on tv, movies, sports, play games etc as long as they are their together interacting. Health conscious does not have to eat junk food, prepare healthy snacks before.
The focus should be on Quality Time not on time spent.
As long as couch potato does not become jealous or insecure about how attracted others are to health conscious, and that health conscious does not become embarrassed to be seen with couch potato and mean because of their weight (health issues) it can work. There must be a compromise from both people to be willing to spend time with the other doing what the other person enjoys.
There is a higher percentage of this relationship working if health conscious if female, because every man wants a trophy. In addition, women are more prone to respond positively to how a man treats them rather than on how he looks.
Best Wishes!
I think that if they want this relationship to work, they will need to introduce to each other what they know and dfo. communication and compromise is whats going to help the relationship
ofcourse
no way a fit person will put up with a fat slob
Who’s going to do the dishes?
yes they can have, because life is so wast that there may be some other points (other than fittness) where they will definately agree
no i dont think so as your interest are too different
