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.

She obviously has something to worry about if you're calling her a neurotic wreck.

Considering you call her a neurotic wreck she just might not be wrong...

Ah yes, the woman is always the crazy one for conforming to a cultural stereotype. As previously stated, it actually IS a sign of having an affair and is often reinforced by the media. Your poor wife is probably insanely insecure and you're too much of an arrogant self absorbed prick to notice.

I dont understand this logic. If i had an attractive girlfriend id love for her to want to look good and show her off when we go out. Would be a confidence boosts for both of us.

Well, she's partially right. I noticed a guy at work started to go to the gym and also go tanning. Of course, it was for health reasons and to help him feel better about himself. Next thing you know, his wife wants a divorce. So....even though this was a shock to him, there must've been signs of some kind cuz he was working on his appearance.

#92 So that scenario means the guy was cheating on his wife and caused the divorce? It is scary that a huge percent of the women in this thread appear to be batshit insane.

Work out together so she can see is for the both of you.

Actually, one of my ex's started taking care of himself more when he was cheating on me. It's actually something that people do, not just guys. They try and look better for the fling because they're not as comfortable with the fling as they are their original partner. They get comfortable in a relationship, things slide, they 'let themselves go' and then when something exciting comes along (doesn't always have to be people, but it is in cases of cheaters) they start to work out. Ask her to come with you OP? Let her know you want to look and feel great together?

I was also in a relationship that, whenever I'd try and dress nicer than normal, or wear makeup, or try and work out. I got the "who are you trying to impress?" "trying to cheat on me??" "Who's the other guy? HUH?!" type of thing. So... yeah... it worries not only girls. It was rough wanting to try and feel and look better, with that kind of crap happening as a result. As if it wasn't okay to want to change and feel better about myself. For me.

Anybody who refers to their wife as a "neurotic wreck" on a social media forum, regardless of circumstance, probably has some communication issues. If your wife was secure in your feelings with her, you wouldn't be having this problem.

It's probably not just the working out that makes her think that. If you've been distant with her as well, she probably would suspect you're trying to look good for someone else since she feels you don't care about her. You guys need a long talk, preferably over a good meal!

Well don't get completely mad at her. Some men do actually start to smell better, look better because they have someone new to impress when they cheat. Since you are not cheating just calmly explain to her that you want to get in shape for health reasons and that you love her. She should understand and won't accuse you of such things.
