Last season I was overcoming an injury and my husband was training for his first racing season. Often times we didn't, or couldn't, do the same rides. Later in the season after I was better, I would really push myself once or twice a week on group rides with him and then the other days I would either do my own ride or find a few females or slower guys to go out with. I enjoyed this because he went off and made his own friends and I had time to myself and to recover.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but easy days are imperative for avoiding injury/overtraining and also for a mental break. It sounds like he's getting what he wants out of riding, but now I think it's time for you to do the same. It can be easy to see our partner as a crutch (if I have a flat, he'll be there, etc), but I think riding on your own or finding others that are your speed will really pay off in the end.
