>>28052I love my wife, but I don't need her in my garage when I'm doing woodworking or when I'm fixing something outside, she likes to spend that time cleaning, rearranging the house for the fourth time that week, or some other silly thing that I have no interest in. When you're young and first in love you want to do everything together, but it's natural for that to change as you get older. Think about your parents or grandparents, are they literally attached at the hip, or do they spend time apart doing stuff that appeals to them as individuals and then come together for dinner in the evening with a few shared activities (church/social club, etc)? I don't get this notion on this board that every woman is an avid rock climber or regularly takes 10 mile hikes. Maybe it's because I'm an American, but most women I know(fat or thin) are not super physically active in general. What activities are you thinking about doing that a BBW wouldn't/couldn't do that make the idea of dating one a deal breaker? Honestly, and this is the biggest one, I think couples need some time apart occasionally, if you suffocate a fire it dies. You can't leave it unattended, but smothering it kills it too.
