What we're missing...

My boyfriend is the most amazingly supportive, encouraging mentor I could ever ask for. He's ridden forever, but since he got me hooked, he's so much more involved too. He's the best thing that ever happened to me.

Hey wait a minute....I think I'm married to your boyfriend!!!!

My DH got me hooked on riding and he's my favorite to ride with! Before I had any "legs for hills" he would patiently wait for me, let me rest, etc., and NEVER say anything bad! Now we do all sorts of tours, I do triathlons (he and our two boys are my BIGGEST fans!), we do team duathlons....golly! We now think nothing of a 50-75 mile ride

He buys me bike stuff (it's almost ALL that's on my Christmas list) and goes with me to "try it out". He loads bikes on the rack, keeps them maintained.....I could go on and on. He's told me it's all worth it when he tells his male biking friends that HIS wife rides or when we go for our group rides and we're the only "couple" he loves to hear our friends say "wish my wife would try it".

He's the best! (That's why I bought us new road bikes for our anniversary )

Oh, wow! Y'all are soooo lucky. My husband is wonderful,too, and I love him to distraction. However, he smokes and the only exercise he gets is getting out of his golf cart to hit a ball and get back in. He's also diabetic and stays up half the night watching the jewelry channels. I'm probably one of the few women in the world who say--nope, don't want that ring, necklace, earrings. I mean, I like the stuff, but there's a limit!

Anyhow I'd do anything to get him moving because selfishly I'd like to have him around longer. And I don't relish the thought of an oxygen tube in his nose while I push him around in a wheelchair. (Sigh) OK, I'll be quiet now.

It seems rather ironic that there is a thread about great SO's here, on what is obviously a women's forum. Meanwhile, in every one of the predominantly male forums I've visited, all I hear about are SO's being belittled, criticized, etc.

Just a casual observation though I'm not vested either way since I'm happily uninvolved.
