My fiancee quit competitive boxing :(

It makes me sad because I know he has a passion for it but he said that it was too much. In order to become top he would have to provide 100%. He still loves to box, and we do watch boxing on the weekend. I admit it's grown on me as well. I can see why he loves it. He's worried he will get beat up for nothing if he keeps going. It was worrying me too as well that he would get too beat up or injured and he could end up with brain damage. He's already beat up. Plus the trainers are kind of sus, like some are crackheads. The overall atmosphere of the sport as well has a lot of hidden areas that could be bad to be exposed to(drugs for instance being a big part of it).

He's beautiful and every movement he makes is just as beautiful. I love seeing him workout or box. I would love to see him do whatever he wants. Even if he doesn't do boxing competitively anymore. He said he wanted to quit because he met me and he realized he didn't want to be miserable anymore for what felt like no reason when he could just be happy with me. He seems happier. But isn't it crazy how love changes a person? A while back when we first met he was dedicated entirely, it was all he wanted. Everything. And now it's changed.

That makes me more sad because in a weird way I feel like I've gotten in the way. Yet he reassured me that it was already over, he had already lost momentum to continue down that path. Even if he chose to I would love him all the same just as if he chooses to quit. I just don't want him to lose something he loves, so I'm happy he's still training others and whatnot.

If its not a career i can see why anyone would not want to box for an extended length of time,, getting hit in the head repeatedly is never a good thing over the long run..😣🥊

@Tminus6453 he's still doing boxing but he's not trying to make it big anymore, as in he's not training solely for that.but I was super worried after seeing videos of boxing champions having issues from being smacked around too much😩

One of my brothers has gotten into being a referee for amateur boxing and loves it. Maybe your fiancée could try that? He already knows the rules, is fit enough to keep up with the boxers.

@ineedadrink he still teaches and does boxing for fun. I might ask him what he thinks of that too
