Today, my wife accused me of cheating. Why? Because I recently started working out, and according to her, no married man tries to improve his physique unless he's trying to look good for other women. FML

So stop for a little while and tell her she can't complain when you get fat.

If OP were a woman, the cries of "DUMP HIM", "ABUSER", and "CONTROLLING" would blot out the sun. Thankfully it's a dude, so we can just say "Well it's your fault for not being supportive when she abuses you with horrible accusations."

always that one person who brings gender, race or politics into everything....

Accusing somebody of cheating isn't abuse, dumbass. At worst it's controlling behavior, and sure, if OP's wife constantly expected him to center his life around her and became violent if he didn't, it'd be an abusive relationship, but nothing in the FML suggests this is part of that pervasive pattern. Put down the fedora, broni friendzoni.

Either she likes you the way you are or doesn't mind if you gain a little weight...maybe taking her to the gym with you wouldn't be a bad idea...

I feel like you don't really care for her if you need to bitch about her on this website

My wife used to tell me the same thing. Now she's gone, and I'm at the gym 6 days a week.

If she's sensitive, ask her to join you in the experience and have her go to the gym with you. It helps the trust and puts her at ease. Her reaction was awful, but if you want the marriage to work and get past this hurtle, help her through her insecurities.

Woah. First off, she may be out of line accusing you of that, but dude if that's how you talk about your wife? Then maybe it's time ya'll really thought this relationship through. Hope everything turns out good.

I guess I'll say it she's most likely cheated on someone in the past or is cheating on you. Hope it isn't the case, but in any case, you need to have a chat with your wife. There is a reason she is acting like that and hopefully she was just having a bad day.

She's insecure, and you two have a relationship to work on, it sounds like. Calling her a neurotic wreck wasn't necessary, though.

Tell her you wanted to impress her since she is so beautiful and you want to be as good looking as she is
