KaratekaAndy Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Get your girlfriend to train with you.I agree, if you can get her to see how much you love karate then she'll be less harsh.

disarm Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hehe:) Tried that. All I get is a stubborn "I'm not into that!" *changes subject*I think she's just going to have to get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekki Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 It seems like she doesn't like what karate has done to your outlook on life and your overall lifestyle. If it were a matter of her being put off because you ran off to the dojo for class every single night, I'd simply say back off on your training, but I fail to see where you have developed into being overly obsessed. I would even question if you are with he right kind of girl. You would probably have much more common ground if she becomes an avid exerciser or athlete of some kind, even if her discipline of choice were not a martial art. This is why I only had decent luck dating girls who don't smoke and who are involved in some kind of sport, martial art or other physical activity (like cheerleading, dance or yoga) "Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world"-Dave Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patusai Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I am surprised she hasn't gone looking for someone else yet if it is this bad.Some partners just want to control and be in control.

Kara Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 My terms are that; I am going. I will devote my time and energy to it. I will sacrifce things other then my job and home for it. If you have a problem, then maybe you should go find something that modivates you the same way... And no, It's not me.I have had the pleasure of training with my pervious guy. It was wonderful becuase he had the same or more devotion to it. KBear"lick your wounds, anxious for the next ones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran-Lilith Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 All I can do is wish you the best of luck as I work through this situation myself. It sucks.
