I'll Go Alone If I Have To

In exercising with a partner it is easy to become dependent upon the person you are working out with; you can become co-dependent without realizing it. In the past when I have had a workout partner on the days when they did not feel like exercising or something came up I found myself waiting until we could go together instead of continuing on alone. My son has gone walking with me and today when he was still tired and didn't want to get up I found myself wanting to go another time. I made up my mind that I would go alone if I needed to and began to get dressed when I was almost done my son got up and got dressed and then asked if he could still go. I told him yes and we went to a nearby park. Although I like having my son's company when I walk I have made up my mind that if I have to do it alone from now on then that's what I'll do.
