This might be the wrong board to post this on but I would really like to hear your opinions on this. I thought I would do the honest think and tell my girlfriend I was going to start taking some gear (test & dbol) for the upcoming semi-pro football season. Well, to sum it up she got real upset and told me there was no way she would condone it and now I feel like a shit dog. | ||

First I'd try to get her to calm down enough to explain exactly what it is you want to do. She probably has the typical idea of what steroids are. | ||

Well, from personal experience.....my boyfriend discussed it with me, and told me the pros and the cons. Inform her of what you will be doing, and why, and show her that you have done a lot of research and that you know what you are doing. For myself, I was mostly worried about my boyfriends health. Now, its open and clear, and I'm even thinking about a cycle myself. Good Luck | ||

Hey your woman isn't User's Girl from the anabolic board is it? Just got done reading that thread.....anyway, I can't speak from experience as I pretty much knew what Mr. RC was up to before all was said and done; however, I can sat that you that you might want to find out why she is so against it. Talk to her intelligently about it and calmly and find out what she knows. Try and dispell any preconcieved notions that she may have. Alot of what people believe about AS is grossly inaccurate so maybe try to get her to have a looksy at the woman's board--that is if you have made up your mind about usage. I hope it all works out for you. | ||

Talk to her about it and present the facts. If she is still not going to have anything to do with it, then you have to choose between her and what AAS may or may not do for your career. Its just one of life's choices and you're the one that has to decide. However, I think being honest is still the best policy, regardless of the outcome. F1 | ||

Follow up on my last thought. This is one of the reasons why I'm opposed to the use of AAS in sports per se (not personal use) but competitive sports. You see, if the league that you will play in doesn't test or test in an effective manner, then in order to remain competitive, you have to juice. In sports, AAS are coercive, if one person uses them then so do others and that is a problem because that isn't something anyone should be forced to decide (use or get your ass kicked in that sport). However, that's the way it is. In your case you have to decide, do I really need to use AAS, will it really benefit me, and is it worth ending the relationship over? Because if you choose to use and your girlfriend remains convinced that AAS are a great evil, then there is no way things will remain stable. It might get ugly then you'll be accused of "roid-rage". As one of my advisors once said while I was in graduate school, "relationships are a dime-a-dozen, but a good Ph.D. program is hard to find." I never cared for that philosophy, but in graduate school, that's pretty much the way it is. Some of us had the mind set that there were only two ways out, with a diploma or in a box. Once you made the decision to enter, those were your options. It was business, not personal. Maybe I'm not the one to ask as life and relationships are more a business decision to me than emotional ones, one of the unfortunate psychological sequela of 9 years in self-incarceration (Ph.D. program). I still haven't recovered the part of my soul that grad school took away. In some ways a career in professional sports is not unlike grad school. With the competitiveness and money at stake today, you almost have to have a heart of stone to survive. The only difference is that there is no pot of good at the end of the rainbow with grad school, Sports however can be quite lucrative IF you are really good. You have to make the choice. F1 | ||

Dont feel bad about this. You were only being honest with her. Tell her what your goals are. Educate her about AS, and if she does not want to educate herself about it and still tells you that SHE will not condone it. Then there is a bigger issue here then just the bean. It sounds like she is just worried about you, but if she does not want to even get more info. about it, then again you are probably going to be dealing with control problems, if you are not already dealing with them. Just my opinion. Good Luck! (Never feel bad about speaking the truth) its just sometimes we have to find diff. ways to deliver it. |
