When you are trying to get in better shape, it is normal to want your significant other to do the same.

What would you do if your girlfriend made plans to go to the gym with you but then changed her mind and made excuses when the time came?

That is what happened to the guy in this story and it made him frustrated, so now he thinks he was being a jerk.

Check it out.

AITA for not helping my gf when she was hungry?

My (29M) gf (29F) agreed to go to the gym with me tonight to do a light walk on the treadmill.

That got me really excited because she isn’t really active and we have been wanting her to get fitter in preparation for a trip.

I always wanted her to be more active and am trying to be encouraging.

Right after supper, we decided to do some small errands (30 minutes) separately and then go the gym.

I can see why this would be frustrating.

When I come back from my errands, I’m excited and ready for the gym while my gf is on the couch saying she’s hungry, tired and frustrated that her errand didn’t go well and she isn’t going to the gym anymore.

I’m very disappointed.

I prepare her an orange (Ik it’s not a lot) and try to persuade her that she’ll feel better after eating the orange and she can still go to the gym with me.

She doesn’t eat the orange since she doesn’t really like it.

She goes to the fridge to look for food, but we don’t have much apart from a portion of leftover from supper.

So she goes back to the couch empty handed and complains about her back hurting from her errands (her back hurts recurrently).

It seems like he is supportive.

I give her a small rub as she complains about me not helping her with the errand she did.

Not long after, I dress up and tell her I’m going to the gym.

She asks if I can go buy her food after.

I ask her why she doesn’t just order delivery.

Ordering delivery can be very expensive.

And she says we don’t have discounts (note: not ideal, but we can afford food without discount).

I tell her that I prefer not (out of frustration really).

And she says “ok, go”.

While at the gym.

I have time to calm down, and text her I’ll go get her food after my session.

And she tells me where to go.

I come back with food.

I’m sure she is frustrated with herself as well as him.

She eats and we have a short moment of bliss before she tells me how I made her feel like I didn’t care for her when I left for the gym and declined to get her food.

I feel like the a jerk but also this is frustrating as it’s not the first time she cancels gym or training plans when things doesn’t go her way perfectly.

She will go to the gym when she is ready, he shouldn’t take it personally, but it is understandable that he is frustrated.

Let’s see what the people in the comments say.

This person thinks she just isn’t interested in the gym.

True, not everyone likes the gym.

This commenter thinks he is judging his girlfriend.

She is not motivated to go to the gym.

This person thinks she just doesn’t want to exercise.

She needs to find an activity she actually enjoys.

And he needs to look for her good points.
