Redditor u/Cool-Minimum-5189 turned to the r/TrueOffMyChest online community with a verysensitive issue.
Scroll down for the full story and the internets reactions.
Read on for our full interview with her.
Proper communication is absolutely fundamental to happy and healthy relationships.
A lot of people opened up about similar experiences with partners which made me feel less alone.
My initial reaction to the workout plan was honestly just disappointment as I felt betrayed by my own boyfriend.
Of course, I felt a little insecure, too.
After Elle sent the screenshots, she told me I can always talk to her if I need it.
This helps build a stable foundation for the future.
Its also important that you both feel comfortable to talk to each other when something doesnt feel right.
Compromising is also the key so both parts feel satisfied, she said.
It shows that hes dissatisfied with how u/Cool-Minimum-5189 looked and constantly compared her to his former partner.
Obviously, nobody is perfect.
We all have pros and cons.
On top of that, theres another problem to consider in the OPs story: the lack of communication.
Every healthy relationship is built upon trust and respect.
That means being open and honest with each other about the things that affect them.
Nobody can force you to exercise in a certain way.
Having someone else decide for you means that youre losing the freedom to choose the activities that you enjoy.
Some might enjoy doing cardio or pilates or lifting weights at the gym.
Others prefer hiking or jogging outdoors.
No matter what you do, you have to enjoy the activity and have a goal in mind.
At the end of the day, mutual attraction is vital to any romantic relationship.
But sneaky workout plans made by your ex arent the way to go about it.
Many internet users were incredibly supportive of the author.
