I've slipped off the bandwagon and i only just noticed.

I have had a tough month, with little free time and slightly less disposable income. So i allowed myself to prioritize my relationship.

Texts have slowly declined.Sex is brilliant and i rarely initiate. Face to face, i likely haven't been picking up on her shit testing. I've not allowed my boundaries to be crossed though and have called her up, when shes out of order.

Also, with the lack of babysitting for my boy, i've let myself become lazy with working out. I do bodyweight when i can but i've still put on some weight.

Biggest mistake i made (in hindsight), was telling her of my slight financial strain this month. I've let myself go but i'm willing to work hard, to improve myself.

So my question is this. How do i go about starting back on the path, without seeming like i am cheating/acting strange?
