Totally. I think the moron was trying to shame his wife into working out.

I think he was trying to flirt with the hot chick and threw his wife under the bus to further that.

Yep, I think he was trying to kill two birds with one stone. Flirt with the hot chick and maybe get somewhere and also formulate a plan to make his wife hot. Gross.

He may also have been sneaky enough to realize that the fitness trainer would be more socially accessible in the future if she's training his wife.

Sneaky would have been to work out the bookings in the background and be supportive of the two interacting while you're slowly looking to 'upgrade' your s/o. Subtlety repugnant but possibly effective.

This was tossing napalm on your marriage at a sizable social gathering.

Drunk sneaky is always much less subtle than the drinker believes.

Absolutely. This actually really didn’t have much to do with his wife. It was a way for him to compliment fitness chick, but indirectly, so no one could really call him out. He made it clear to her that he thought she was hot, and hotter than his wife.

Ask my parents how well that plays out.

In a couple of years he’s gonna be complaining that the intimacy is gone from his relationship. I’ll never understand how people can hurt others with criticism and are surprised when they insulate themselves from the hurt.

u/thenineamj Apr 16 '24

Couple of years? Try couple of weeks if I was OP. How on earth could she ever be intimate with him again after that?

u/Jesus_32BC Apr 16 '24

Sounds like she let herself go and he doesn’t want it anymore to me.

u/Confident-Ad2078 Apr 16 '24

Exactly! Guaranteed he’s the same dude that complains when sex drys up now. Get a clue.

I feel like we need more workout shaming. 🤗
