+ 5 Does Steroid Use Affect Your Relationship?
ad
I’m realizing more and more how lucky I am. My wife of almost 20 years has always been pretty supportive of me. She may not know every detail of what’s in my stack, but she doesn’t hassle me about it and trusts my judgment.
On the flip side, one of my buddies is going through the complete opposite right now. His wife recently found his stash and it’s blown up into a serious issue. She’s even threatening divorce over it. Seeing that situation really puts my own dynamic into perspective.
Curious how it is for everyone else. Are your partners supportive, indifferent, or totally against it? Do they even know?

Its amazing how deeply satisfied and happy you can be on your own when you have fitness and gear as a main hobby. It can literally become the focus of your whole day if you want it to be - each meal, training session, nights sleep, daily routine can all become part of the plan. It makes you reflect back on the Shit relationships where you have wasted years of your life on someone else's mood and feelings all for it to be a waste of time anyway. I deeply regret many of mine and wish I took training as seriously in my early 20's as I do now.
100%. I started lifting seriously at 21 right after a breakup with a long time GF and never looked back. Fitness gave me something to focus all my time and energy on. Between eating, pepping food, training and researching my mind was busy all the time, which is what I need. Then I eventually met my now wife who was also a gym rat so it was a match made in heaven lol. Only other gym people understand the dedication and routines and the OCD stuff we do.
So well said. This is so damn true.
Im really selective on my realationships now also. I have zero problem moving on from anyone. Being fit as heck and self confindent changes everything in life for the good. Made me a strong ass man.
My wife knows I’m on TRT+. She doesn’t ask questions beyond that, but I do share all my bloodwork. I’m sure if she found my Deca and Primo, there would be questions.
But to be honest, she loves me at 300mg / week. But she doesn’t know I’m running that high. She also knows how crashed E2 treats me, and she has told me not to do that again. She knows I low dose HGH and cycle Reta.
I order her trizepitide. She won’t take Reta because it’s not approved.
But I think the transparency with the bloodwork really helps. It shows all green except standard TRT markers.
A couple of the TRT clinics will prescribe you deca. And anavar and Winny. Primo is an fda approved drug but nobody makes it anymore. But you just tell her your TRT doc prescribes it but it would cost $500 a month through the pharmacy so you order it off the internet for $50 a month. Same with GH. Places will prescribe it but it’ll cost you 11 grand a month. So you order it online for $100 a month. Could even tell her you have to show your script when you order lol.
I went through two relationships on it. First wife i hid it and never explained to her what it was so all she knew was it makes you want to kill yourself and kill your family. She found my stash and tried to out me to my family and friends but concentrated more on the fact it was hypodermic needles, and i was shooting up steroids like in my veins and hiding it so everyone who knew about steroids was like "so" and the ignorant family and friends were like "why?". Fast forward to my current wife i told her up front. Explained what it was, dispelled the wives tales and compared it to her on birth control estrogen and im on testosterone and she is ok with it and we are happy. I think #1 wife was more hurt from the hiding, lying than she was actually of the substance itself. Be forward before you start a relationship or before you start using it. Nothing good comes from lying and hiding from the one who supposed to be trusting and living with you for life.
I think it did change my relationship with my ex wife, higher test made me stand my ground and not take as much abuse. I don't think she liked that I wasn't her bitch anymore, hence the ex in front of wife.
She didnt care about my use as a standalone thing, would do my shots for me.
I practice radical honesty in my romantic life, when I start talking to someone new the goal is purely a long term relationship, marriage, children. So I just come out right away about all my flaws and failures, wrongs and regrets and my gear use too. Weeds out the incompatible women immediately, but doesnt scare most off. Been thanked for my transparency by both women who wanted to date me and those who declined.
Pretty quickly my current girlfriend got used to needles and steroids and got over her fear and started giving me shots.
Assuming ur buddies wife had zero idea that ur buddy was on ANYTHING. so the betrayal likely lies in the dishonesty, which is understandable.
Most guys successful in having a supportive roid spouse use the ol trickle truth method. Starts as "trt for "health", then it's "trt" plus something my buddy suggested for joint health, then you order her something as well like reta or tirzepatide to show her how above board everything is and then you end up just "needing 10 mins alone for my shots" every day and she don't ask questions cause she "also takes reta".
Tell me I'm wrong.
Option B is just be single and beat muff flaps and don't answer to anyone.
Dude, you’re a savage ---- You nailed it.
Started with TRT, then gradually added compounds and more frequent labs.
Now I conveniently get alone time for injections… and for the record, she’s on tirzepatide, not reta.
Hell yes. Keem em thin and clueless.
The amount of times I've heard the old Reta manipulation tactic on here is priceless - I think Mac was one of the first Masters at employing that technique. Whenever he needs more gear he just asks the wife if she wants some more Reta and when is any woman every going to say no to that!!!! LMFAO
^——— Gotta keep that body rockin’…….
"hey babe, wanna lose some weight?" Hahahahaha
I personally would choose the divorce, I will only go with a girl that understands and is ok with gear. It is not drugs like heroin or meth or coke or whatever. I also only want a girl that understands the gym, maybe i am picky I dont know but if not then I prefer to be single.
I mean, it’s not heroin, meth, or coke, but there are compounds like tren that can turn people into total assholes and make them hard to be around. So I can understand why some partners wouldn’t be okay with gear use. In this case, though, that isn’t what’s going on. And I agree with you. I’d rather be single than in an unsupportive relationship.
I get that some gear can really mess with emotions but as long as you learn to control your emotions and realize it's the gear talking then you should be fine. I dont want to be with a parent, I want a cool companion that is understanding.
No, I spoke to my wife about why I wanted to use AAS prior to starting. Did research with her to calm any fear and anxiety she had about it. I promised to be responsible with my health. Showed her that by improving tracking of my BP, seeing doc more frequently, and tracking labs while on cycle.
She even does injections in tougher to reach places. Been married to her for 12 years.
I think your buddies issue is really that he hid a part of his life from his wife. Trust in marriage is a really important thing and violations of trust by hiding shit is hard to come back from.
Honey, guess what. I'm getting on roids. Hahahaha I love this.
Bout how that convo went. Except it was more along the lines of I feel like shit, have no energy, never want to fuck. My hormones are fucked. I also want to look like Lou Ferigna when you’re jerking me off.
Hahahaha
Honesty is definitely key to keeping a marriage healthy. I will say this relationship isn’t great anyway. He spends most of his time at work or the gym trying to avoid her, and whenever they are together, they are arguing. I am just glad you do not have children.
One of the many advantages to living alone - I can leave all my Vials, barrels and needles all over the bathroom unit LMAO I find it a real pain in the arse having to keep it all hidden away.
I think there are Pro's and Con's to your other half caring or not, if they are upset about it then it shows they deeply care about you and your health - but if they trust you and have no issue then it shows they are not controlling and respect what you want to do with your life. You can see it from all angles.
Well said, press.
We need to be roommates, matey
Problem is you'll want to give me all kinds of arse injections ...
I will admit I am definitely jealous of people that can just have their own space and be completely comfortable without having to compromise.
Being married, definitely keeps me a gooooood boy.
I know this will probably sound strange and odd to most people - But although I've had partners live with me here and there for a year or 2, I definitely prefer my own company and my own space more than I do being with someone else here 24 hours a day. I grew up as an only child too and my parents were often out at work so being by myself is totally normal to me - people assume I'm lonely but I'm honestly not, not when I have EROOIIIIIIDDSSSSS!!!! LMAO
