The 33-year-old told the Reddit community that it’s been going on for six months in spite of her five-year marriage to Scott*, 28.
“I get it, I’m a terrible and horrible person,” said Claire. “My husband is a wonderful and great guy, he’s the love of my life.”
Claire continued: “We’ve been married five years and we have two kids. We decided when we first got married that if I got pregnant he’d be the stay-at-home dad.”
Claire earned more money than Scott and so keeping her job meant she was able to take better financial care of the family.
“I’m able to take care of us, the kids, and still be able to take several vacations per year,” said Claire. “The downside is I work so much.”
Wanting to get back into shape after having her second child, Scott was supportive of Claire waking up extra early to go to the gym.
“I’m usually awake at 4am and at the gym from 5am to 6:30am, work 7:30am to around 3:30pm, then work out again in the afternoon before going home to my boys,” Claire shared about her daily routine.
Getting back into shape made Claire feel “nice and almost sexy again”, which motivated her to keep on going.
“About eight or nine months ago, I met someone at the gym,” said Claire. “He was helping some people and caught me after my workout and said he wanted to introduce himself.”
Claire elaborated: “Turns out he’s a trainer.” From then on, Claire would notice Tony* at the gym.
“Fast forward a few weeks and I signed up for his classes,” said Claire. “And he worked me out a few times a week.”
The training went so well, that sometimes they would grab a bite to eat after the workout.
“Then one day I said my hair was a mess and I just wanted to shower, then he offered for me to shower at his place,” said Claire.
“That’s the beginning of the end of my marriage, I know,” admitted Claire. “But I don’t regret it.”
Claire revealed: “I went over and got in his shower and while I was washing up he walked in and asked if he could join me.
“I didn’t know what to say, I was in shock but also it felt amazing to be approached like this. He got in and we started to fool around. I had never been desired this way but it made me feel so special and wanted.”
Claire admitted: “Ever since then we’d go back to his place for more ‘training’ sessions. Ultimately, it turned into a full-blown affair.
“I love how sexy he makes me feel and how he’s a man and treats me like one. But at the same time I’m a married woman and love my husband.
“I’m at such a loss. I want what I want but I want my husband too. I’ve considered telling my husband and asking him for an open relationship but I know if he said no I’d resent him. I just want to be happy.”
