Is it too much to ask my boyfriend how long he's going to work out for?

Question

My partner loves working out and I don't mind but it bothers me that he won't give me a time when he'll be done that way we can hang out, he just says "idk", he'll tell me when he's halfway done but can't figure out a time when he will finish sometimes he works out for 2 hours and other times for 4.... I just want to know that way I know when to either be home or not make plans after he's done, is it too much for me to ask him to give me a time?
** He's into weight lifting and wants to work towards being in the Olympics

Answer

I don’t think that you’re asking him for too much. Why is he at the gym for 2-4 hours though? 🤔

Answer

That is reasonable.

Answer

I just saw a tiktok of these gym sharks and they all agreed that they don’t want to have a limit or tell a limit. Most of them don’t even answer their phones or texts while at the gym. I was like HOW does this even work for people lol. I’d want to know how long my partner would be taking..

Answer

I think it's reasonable to ask so you can plan your day so you are not sitting around waiting.

Answer

Just ask if he’s going for a short or a long workout and don’t depend on seeing him. He’ll make time if he wants to and if not you can bounce

Answer

I think that you should live your life and make plans for a time that you know he won’t be in the gym. If he won’t make plans, then that’s a red flag. It’s not too much to ask of him, but he’s allowed to say no. That’s the problem. And trust me I know how annoying this is.￼
I lived with a person like this for most of my life. My dad works out in his home gym for three hours EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. since 1982. We know better than to bother him before noon and sometimes he’s not even done by then. It can get super fucking annoying. I honestly don’t know how my mom dealt with it for so long. Like it’s great that he loves to take care of himself, but he will not do anything else with anyone unless he gets in at least three hours in his gym first.

Answer

That does seem reasonable, but I understand from the other side too, because I suck with time, I couldn't tell anyone how long I'll do anything, I'm obsessive and have ADD. 🙃
So I see both sides. 
My partner also has a skewed concept of time, so it works 🙃
But there's legitimate reasons for a person being bad with time sometimes! 
I do my best with ADD, but it's really hard sometimes.
