When does your partner go to the gym?

Now that I am a SAHM I feel quite resentful when my husband goes to the gym on his lunch breaks. I feel like I could really use the break myself. He's told me I can only go work out before he goes to work (so be back before 8am) or after baby goes to bed (8pm) Context - 10month PP Before I was pregnant I'd go running and swimming afew times a week. I cancelled my gym membership recently because I just never get to go (but hoping I can get some local runs into my routine soon)

Maybe a compromise on who gets the lunch time would work better. You could do 50/50 so it feels fair xx

Why has he said you can’t go after he gets in and before the baby goes to bed? Seems really unfair!

Seems a bit unfair you can only go after baby has gone to bed? I go running 3 days a week, my partner gets home from work, showers, and then has 1 on 1 time with baby whilst I go. He goes to the gym either before work or on the weekends x

If he goes before work I go when he finishes, when I go in the morning he goes at night, we just alternate it

@vicky you know I've never even considered this has a possibility, I will suggest this thank you x

@Bethany I'm going to suggest this to him thanks x

Are there any family-friendly gyms near you? My husband and I go together and take our little one with us (we bought a collapsible/portable playpen especially for her). If not, you should definitely alternate so it's fair on both of you x
