Dear Fonseca,
My friend from work is upset with me because I have a Gym Spouse. I go to the health club, but my husband doesn't. I took my friend to the club on Saturday. She met my Gym Spouse. He's like a Work Spouse, but only a guy I work out with at the gym. My friend says it's wrong that I have a Gym Spouse and that I take my wedding ring off when working out with him. She also says it's wrong that he sometimes gets handsy while he spots me. I have to admit I love the flirting and the personal training. I would never take it past the health club. She is making me feel guilty and like I am doing something wrong. My husband doesn't know about my Gym Spouse. Am I doing anything wrong?
