Jealous much?

I would ignore it- it's his problem, not yours. If it ends up that he can't run with you anymore- well, whatever. That's a shame, but I would not get in the middle of that mess for a running partner. Dogs are awesome running partners and pretty drama-free.0

I'm sorry that you might lose your running partner but it is not your problem. He should have told his GF about you, sounds like he didn't. The main problem is with him not his GF and not you. It's not for you to judge if "she's the jealous type" you just met him and you know nothing about their relationship. You shouldn't judge their relationship against yours either that is a very unfair (and bordering on self-righteous) thing to do.
I agree.0 -

1) Whether his girlfriend is the jealous type, or has reason to be suspicious is completely up for interpretation and really not the point - so I will leave that alone other than to say that without knowing which category she falls into, it isn't truly fair to generalize.
2.) It sounds like you didn't do anything wrong. - with the exception of exchanging phone numbers with a total stranger which could be dangerous & does sound somewhat iffy. However, if this was someone you have been running into at the gym for a while, and have developed a casual workout buddy relationship, than taking it to the next level and exchanging phone numbers to meet up and run is logical. But, from the relationship perspective, if you shared the scenario with your significant other and they were okay with the interaction and progress in the relationship, than you are in the clear.
3) Your "gym friend", however, had a couple of fouls. Agreeing to meet up with someone the next day, etc., seems more like a natural progression of working out together, rather than exchanging #'s. But if it felt natural to both of you, and neither was looking for anything else, than he should have definitely run it past his partner. If he didn't because she is the "jealous type", than that is a good reason NOT to do this type of action. It just looks shady. Not on your part, but on his.
Finally - 4th) Sounds like you have only the best of intentions, and want a running partner. My suggestion is to look for someone of the same sex and see if you can develop a friendship with them. I always did better with male friends myself so I get it, but this isn't worth the hint of drama - especially if you just met him.0 -
Lol! While we are on it, I think the title "jealous much" is a bit inflammatory and catty too. Sorry, I'm not usually negative but I feel bad for the GF in this particular situation. The OP seems to be reveling in the GF's insecurities by using that title.it irritates me that you call your bf/husband "my darling"........just saying.

ETA: and by using "my darling" instead of my husband (if you are indeed married) you are leaving out a very important detail. They are just dating (maybe even quite recently) and you are in a commited and legally bound relationship. So yeah of course you feel more secure.0 -
I honestly don't think it was that he was making a gym date with a girl, it was that he didn't tell her about it. I'd be peeved too. You were up front and honest with your man, but shame on Dude for not doing the same for his girlfriend.0

How did I not offer any help? Did you read my first response?
Where did I say I was perfect? Was it by implying that I don't keep a man locked in my basement feeding on insects? Because if that's wrong then baby I don't wanna be right0 -
A lot of men and women have a problem with jealousy/insecurity--sometimes even those of us who aren't generally prone to those problems. The "appearance of impropriety" is to be avoided. Your running dude probably didn't tell his girlfriend because he knew she wouldn't handle it well. My husband committed a "sin of omission" while we were dating that upset me and resulted in a confrontation. Since then, we've both been careful to keep communication open when it comes to any personal relationships with the opposite sex.
Aside from that, you'd probably do well to find a female running partner.0 -
All I know is that my darling only gets rats on special occasions. Otherwise, it's all insects.0

Excuse me if you are perfect then you can make such silly statements that because she calls him her darling (which is a term of endearment last time I checked) she was keeping him locked in the basement..hummm sounds kinda mean and judgey to me...0 -

you weren't mean..the girl who said she kept him locked in the basement was mean..she just took it a step to far but I sure she's a swell girl and all.0 -
Why exchange numbers at all, unless you planned on meeting places other than the gym? Why not just set up the next running meet, before you left the gym? AHH, what if you're not the running partner, but actually the snoopy girlfriend, since you never said, how you know that she was snooping through his phone.0

So, I get a bunch of crap from you for telling someone it's weird to call their boyfriend their "husband", but you get to make fun of someone for calling their boyfriend/husband "my Darling"?
Seems legit.0 -
I have the perfect solution....ready? Just run with your darling!0

Outside of work, I don't do anything with guys who are involved in long term relationships or married. Sounds extreme, but it is just simpler that way. I once had a woman tell a guy friend to stop talking to me altogether, regardless of the fact that I had known him for many years prior to their ever meeting. She was that jealous. And I can't say I couldn't understand her point of view in some ways.
Maybe you could find a new running partner. Perhaps one of the canine variety...0 -
This is not a good situation. Perhaps there is truth in someone else's response that you would not most likely exchange numbers with this guy unless there was some attraction..whether it is sexual or not. That you are sitting there pondering about this situation at all suggests that you have already become more involved with his life than you should be with a simple "running partner." But aside from all that, the kindest thing you could do right now is tell him that you don't think it's a good idea for you two to be partners and then go find someone else to be gym buddies with. Perhaps a fellow woman, or perhaps an older guy for whom you feel NO attraction---that would truly be safe. My hunch is that you may be enjoying the excitement of being "the other woman," and taking something that belongs to someone else because you think it makes you somehow superior to this girlfriend; even if you never plan on sealing the deal
Be a friend to this woman, leave her man alone; whether or not she's jealous is irrelevant--you are causing her pain. Why do you want to do that? Find a better partner in the gym. What about your darling? why won't he work out with you?0 -
I don't blame her either, honestly. I would be jealous too and I dont think its cuz im a jealous girlfriend...more just that why would he want to run with you when he could run with me type of thinking I guess...0
