working out with girlfriend or wife?

[bcpelt]

Does anyone here workout with their girlfriend or wife? My wife lets the gym be my thing and never even asks to go together. She goes in the mornings.
I see alot of couples working out together and following each other around the gyme like puppy dogs. One couple is always holding hands and giving each other a little kiss after each set. That poor guy! Some of these guys are pretty big dudes too..

Any thoughts on this? It's really been bugging me lately..

My gf works out with me from time to time. No biggie though - she's very understanding + encouraging.

My GF comes sometimes, but usually i am the one distracting her, i drag her over and say "hey baby look how strong i am, look at how much im lifting". She is not impressed.

my gf once asked me to come show her some things, but she's just into the cardio machines and after twenty minutes of trying to get her to do squats she vowed never to go to the gym with me ever haha

Yep, my GF always wants me to show her things and then when i do she explains she will get to big and goes back to some cardio equipment, she does it everytime, why do i even bother.

My gf doesn't go to the gym an I dnt care either way.... I think it's cool to see couples train seriously, but when it's some fag in a tite shirt doing curls in frin of the mirrior to impress his gf that shits gay as hell!!!

There is this one guy at my gym, looks amazing, no fat, huge, probably could compete, perfect symmetry, but he comes with his wife who was working out when she was pregnant, then i didn't see her for 2 months. She came back to the gym and looked just as she did before the baby, fucking incredible, she is ridiculously fit.

i train with my wife. she squats benches deads with me. I have trouble with her though when it comes to heavy weights. I've seen her lift say 65 for a set of 5 and then if you throw 5 lbs on there for 70 she will fail. It is super psychological and the feeling of heavyness will freak her out and lose concentration. She spots me very well though. Better than training alone. I'm teaching her the right way to lift weights too and her body is getting better. I like strong women.

my wife is deadlifting 185 for reps and she had our third child 4 months ago ...already lost 30+ lbs...
i always joke with her... i get under the squat bar with 405 and ask her for a spot, every time she gives me this look like 'how the fuck'....

I write out a program for my GF and show her how to do each thing on the sheet and she takes it from there. She never goes to the cardio section of the gym. The problem is getting her to go on a regular basis. Some reason she feels that I go so she should go also. When she is there she gives it 100%.
