“AITA for telling my girlfriend that, yes, the gym is more important to me than her and her daughter? » he explained. “I’ve been dating my girlfriend for about 18 months. She has the cutest 4 year old daughter from a previous relationship.

“I work from 4:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., go to bed at 4 a.m., then wake up around noon, and most days I go to the gym and spend about two hours there in total. Working 10-hour shifts means I don’t have much time between shifts, but I also have more days off than most workers.

But relationship problems began to arise when his girlfriend thought he cared more about working out than she did.

“It was never a problem until I (basically) moved in with my girlfriend,” he said. “Lately, when I wake up and try to go to the gym, she tells me, ‘You only care about doing what you need to do.’ (My daughter) doesn’t understand why you’re leaving and why you don’t want to spend time with us. Things came to a head when my girlfriend started objecting to me going to the gym.

I told him, “I have to practice today.” It’s a priority. She then replied: “So the gym is a priority, but me and (my daughter) aren’t? If you want to be part of this family, it’s no longer just about you. So what is most important to you? The gym or us? I said, “Well, if you’re going to force me to choose instead of making room for something you know is important to me, then I guess I have to choose the gym.” I then left. »

The editors have spoken out on the situation.

One user said his girlfriend gave him an “incredibly unfair ultimatum”.

“They both handled this argument badly,” said another.

“You are all incompatible and should just go your own way,” someone added.
