Is it normal that my boyfriend's laziness makes me angry?

I'm a sporty girl and got into cycling because of my partner of 3 years and we used to go for rides together with his friend. Over the past year he's stopped all of his exercise and just sits around watching TV and gaming all the time. It's started to get to me and make me angry as it feels like he's changed and that we don't do stuff together any more that's fun (we are becoming a TV couple). He says I should accept that people change and that I'm being unreasonable by telling him to change by wanting him to be sporty again as he's no longer into cycling or running any more, or exercise in general. But sport was how our relationship was built. Is it normal that him becoming a couch potato is making me mad?

    I can see this from both sides. Is there no way to make a compromise?

    Normal for women to find reasons to be angry at men.

    Stay sporty, just cause he's a potato don't mean you gotta be one. You can't make him change to suit you, you're powerless over that, but don't you change yourself for him, girl. Be what God made you to be, be yourself! Maybe ya'll will grow apart and breakup, but such is life. Nothing lasts forever.

    P.S. I fucking HATE gaming, both video games and gambling in casinos. I'd much rather do Yoga or put my cat in his stroller, and walk or run with him. Don't stop being you for any damn body!

    I think you are being unreasonable. Why don't you pick up a controller and play along with him? You aren't even trying to see his side, maybe you'll like it.

      Hey, maybe she has tried video games. I've certainly played a few, and they just aren't my thing. Not everyone is into it.

      It seems like the bigger problem is that she wants him to spend more time with her. With video games and TV, some people don't consider that a bonding experience since interaction is pretty limited. You aren't really expected to talk during a TV show, right?

      Overall, if I were OP, I'd try to talk to him and ask him to maybe run or go cycling with her at least once a week. Maybe ask him if he would like to go to some other non-gaming, non-athletic event. Take a cooking class! Try sketching at the local park! Discover something new together!

      What she really wants is his attention, and she can't get as much of his attention when both of them are focused on a screen.

        I beg to differ. You can watch TV with my partner and snuggle with them in your arms, then discuss what you've just seen after it's over. It's just you two, you can even pause it in the middle if you want XD

          Even if they did both like TV and video games, maybe she would like Star Trek and he prefers murder mystery? Maybe he plays a lot of 1 player story type games which she can't really participate in? Maybe she would prefer puzzle type games or something else that he doesn't enjoy?

          It's a matter of finding something to do that they both would enjoy, and so far it is looking like trying something new would be their best bet.

    Stop trying to change people. You didn't mention if he has a huge cock. If so, you should probably stick around, even though he is lazy as fuck, if he IS a good fuck, that goes a long way. Now, if he has a TINY dick, well, get OUT of that relationship NOW!!!
