I admire your ability to be honest with yourself man. Touched a bit on why I'm still deciding if I'll continue to compete. It's a lot to ask the gf to handle for months at a time. Structuring not only my life but hers around prep makes me feel super selfish. It's never been complained about and I have all the support in the world from her but I KNOW that it's hard whether she'll ever admit it or not. I'm still cruising but there was one morning I was getting up to get to the gym and do cardio during this prep where she was in this half asleep mode and said "promise me you won't do this forever?" And that made me bawl like a baby when I got in my car because it was the first time she said something like that and it hit home how it affected her. I just can't in good conscience keep that lifestyle up when my relationship and future with her is WAY more important to me.
