Hubby is mad that I won't ride......

[SadieKate]

He thinks I'm just being a picky B**** and basically I just don't want to ride with him. We are at it again today. It's a beautiful day and I would love to go riding with him but I refuse to keep hurting myself. He keeps saying I ride with the same kind of saddle I gave you...YEA well it hurts me. I absolutely love my bike and really enjoy riding with him so how can I express this to him and make him believe it?

NOWHERE DOES SHE SAY HE CALLED HER A *****! GeorigaGirl says "he thinks . . . " This could be her interpretation of his words and thoughts. My husband thinks I'm a picky princess at times, but I could easily, in fun, have described to someone else his reaction using the same word, but over the internet the joke wouldn't be interpreted correctly. She's made very few posts so not a one of us knows her personality or her writing style. The few posts by Mr. GeorigaGirl were obviously well-intentioned and very polite. Other husbands/boyfriends have posted here using the woman's sign-in without you ripping into him. I vote we all layoff the relationship counseling without knowing a damn thing about her and her husband.

Just maybe, maybe, she'll come back and learn some valuable things about cycling and us about her.We may all be completely surprised. In the meantime, I'll keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions without more information.

I doubt either of them will ever be back here. Frankly, I don't blame them. Yikes.

Oof, I couldn't agree more.

SK, I know that I, for one, wrote about this as her characterization of events, not as though it was a direct quote of what he said.

But, she asks "How can I make him believe me?"

Well, she shouldn't have to do anything more than simply say, "I hurt" for him to believe her. Again, maybe he does believe her. All we have to go on is what she wrote. But, she asked us this question, so I think addressing it was in order.

GeorgiaGirl, I hope you do stick around on TE. As you can see, you will always get varied and frank feedback to your questions and opinions. Cycling is a wonderful sport, passtime and lifestyle, and the info on this forum is a wonderful support for that.

I for sure dislike a lot of what I read on TE, but it is not worth it to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is too much to be gained here. Hope you decide the same.

Adding my voice to the sentiment, thanks ladies for saying what I couldn't put into words.
