Dear Fonseca,
My husband joined a new gym about a month ago. He's casually mentioned that he has a workout partner at the gym named Andy. On Wednesday night, my husband went to the gym, but forgot his wallet at home. I drove it over to the gym because I was going out with my girlfriends. I was shocked when I showed up and discovered that Andy is a ‘she’ not a ‘he’. It turns out he's been working out with this woman for the last three weeks. Needless to say, this caused a huge fight when I got home. He says some people have work wives while he has a gym wife. He claims they're strictly platonic and that nothing is going on. I am sick to my stomach and think he is emotionally cheating on me. He says I am making myself feel this way and that if I was more secure with myself I wouldn't feel insecure about him working out with another woman. I told him this is cheating. He disagrees. Where do you stand on the issue? Is it wrong what he is doing?
