My Wife Is Addicted To The Gym And It’s Ruining Our Marriage (Part 2).... - Best Reddit
-----------
My Wife's Gym Obsession Led To Her Ignoring Me, Affecting Our Marriage. She Finally Admitted Having To An Affair (Part 2).
-----------
My wife, who is now 30, has always been dedicated to fitness. However, over the past year and a half, her workout routine has become excessive. She started going to the gym more frequently, often twice a day, and sometimes even three times if we had an argument. Instead of facing our issues, she used the gym as a refuge.
When she became pregnant, I hoped she would ease up on her intense workouts. Instead, she remained as committed as ever. This caused a significant strain on our relationship. Her obsession with the gym meant she was not around to handle her share of household responsibilities, leaving me to pick up the slack. Friends and family began to notice her absence at social gatherings and even hinted at possible infidelity, which I initially dismissed.
Despite my concerns, she insisted her exercise routine was beneficial for her and the baby. Conversations about finding a balance were met with resistance, making me feel sidelined and worried about our future once the baby arrived. I feared she would continue to prioritize the gym over family time, leaving me to shoulder most of the parenting responsibilities.
One day, she left her phone on the kitchen counter. Overwhelmed by curiosity and doubt, I went through her messages and found an ongoing conversation with a guy from the gym. The texts were flirty and intimate, crossing boundaries. This revelation shattered my trust in her. When she returned, I confronted her, but she denied everything, claiming it was nothing. Her reaction only made me angrier. In a fit of rage, I smashed her phone and left the house.
Later, she admitted to flirting with the guy but insisted it was innocent at first. She said it escalated into an emotional and eventually physical affair. She described it as falling in love for the first time again. This admission was a knife to the heart. She said she loved me but couldn’t deny the spark with him.
When she asked if I would leave her if the baby wasn’t mine, I responded immediately, “Of course, I wouldn’t raise another man’s child.” She seemed shocked by my firm stance. She agreed to a DNA test, filled with tears, which felt manipulative. Her emotional display seemed more about fearing the consequences than genuine remorse.
In the days that followed, our home became a silent battleground. Interactions were minimal and fraught with tension. I struggled with betrayal and anger, mourning the relationship we once had. I questioned how we got here and what went so wrong. If the baby was mine, could I trust her again? Could we rebuild what was broken? If not, would I stay and raise another man’s child or walk away from everything we shared?
Navigating this crisis has been one of the most challenging periods of my life, but I am determined to face it with clarity and emerge stronger. We need to have an honest conversation about what’s going on, understand why she felt the need to confide in someone else, and figure out if we can rebuild what’s been broken. It’s not going to be easy, but I’m willing to try for the sake of our unborn child.
Then, she dropped a bombshell: she was moving in with her affair partner from the gym. The baby might be his or might be mine, and she was too embarrassed to get a paternity test. Her attempts to get my attention and make me beg her to stay didn’t work. I ignored her, and when we spoke, I kept it brief. I told her it wasn’t a smart move to leave the house and suggested she meet with a lawyer, but she didn’t care. She said her affair partner knew she was pregnant and didn’t care if the baby was mine; he loved her and wanted to be with her.
I couldn’t believe it. If the baby was mine, how would our child split time between my wife and this weasel? She moved in with him, leaving most of her belongings in our house. I didn’t reach out to her after she left, feeling a strange mix of relief, anger, and sadness.
This morning, she texted me to say her affair partner wanted a DNA test, so she was going to do it. She asked if I wanted to submit a sample because it would be cheaper to have two dads tested as part of one package. I don’t care about the cost; I just want an answer. I made my appointment to get my cheek swabbed and should have the results within a week.
I feel stuck in limbo, trying to function and go to work every day. I miss her, and it makes me sick that she’s with him. Part of me wants to beg her to come home, but I won’t play those games. I’ll take what I can get at this point because it’s better than dragging this out for another 20 weeks.

He should have asked for full custody of the child due to marital neglect/alienation of affection, emotional distress, infidelity, and basically running off with his unborn child. He should post on social media to tell everyone from friends, family, and close associates in a timeline about how she made the *worst choice in her life for becoming a cheater and gym s**t.

It ain't a mistake to cheat. It's a choice.

[@coolbeans3752]

She made a choice not a mistake.

Come on, this deserved to go to the end, baby born, and this goes really bad for her. The AP gets tired of her and abandons her, and I hope to God the husband stops dithering and boots her to the curb if she tries to come back. Full custody.
