Z. Class that causes me marriage stress part II.

I remember reading your original story and I'm glad I spotted this one too.

Whilst I know I should write something serious and constructive, I just can't. It's too hilarious.

Sorry.

(Psst. I can't even bring myself to try Zumba, so credit to you for giving it a shot! People are taking your story way too seriously with concerns for your marriage. Stupid drama happens in relationships, but I'm sure you would be taking things much more seriously if your relationship really was one hair away from a divorce. Sometimes guys, you just need to laugh.)

I didn't see the original post, and I don't really want to weigh in on your marriage (at least not too much) b/c there are two sides to every story. It sounds like there is more going on between you than just arguing about the gym, at least a deeper issue that you are arguing about. I sincerely hope that you two are able to work it out or at least talk about it so that the two of you can find some peace.

Aside from that, I loved your story. I think it's great that you tried going to Zumba. I doubt I could ever get my hubs to try a Zumba class with me. If somehow he ended up there, like if I could magically make him appear in a Zumba class, then I bet he would have a lot of fun with it. He loves to be the center of attention, and he isn't afraid of looking silly in front of people (once he's in the situation anyway, like I said, I would have a very hard time getting him there in the first place). He might even do better than I would, judging from the times I've gotten him to do Just Dance with our kiddos & me on the Wii. Thanks for the laugh & I hope you and your wife are able to work things out.

Too long for ya? LOL. It was pretty, dang funny, though!

Obviously this issue calls for someone to give you advice and honeslty, who better than me. I am..THAT DUDE.

THis will be painful to hear...but it is the truth...YOU DONT LIKE YOUR WIFE AND YOUR WIFE DOESNT LIKE YOU.

Its time to move on. She has unrealistic expectations and hates the fact that you got in shape and is jealous that you are cheating on her....and I know your not...BUT....you ARE thinking about it and just havent gone thru with it.

ITs time to move on.

Now I have to get back to the middle east peace talks.

As a misc'er I forgot to even ask....Bro, do u even lift? (I hope you are aware you seem like the type that would be. If you arent aware its an inside joke of the misc.)

Bro, cmon dude. I like so lift. I lift the spirits up of the ppl on this board.....i take the weak minded and call them on their bs. BTW I think you are a very talented story teller. Just watch your dog overnight tho.

Now seriously, I am not telling you to leave your wife....but you know what I said cuts true.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ... I absolutely loved that story!!!

If you tell these stories often, please friend me.

yes this ^^^^^^^

I would love to try Zumba. However, I'm a woman.

I also know that my husband would never ever join me in a Zumba class. There are boundaries. And I know better not to ask. That being said, I think it would be fun to go lift weights together. I know it wouldn't be a little date, and wouldn't expect it. I would expect him to spot me, which is a great excuse for him to check me out. :-D

I think your wife is just feeling isolated from you, and maybe threatened by an interest that she is completely cut out from, and wants to be involved in something you're interested in. As whacked out as her approach has been, she's trying to reach out to you. Maybe there's another activity or class (not necessarily fitness) that you could surprise her with? You could take real dance lessons for instance. Or photography, cooking, sketching/painting.
You could say one night a week can be a date or a lesson night, and while she's in Zumba you can do your weights, and then go out for lunch after.

If my husband surprised me with something like that, I would be ecstatic. :-)

I'm sorry you married a crazy lady.

I'd love to do photography or art with her. She's a singer, i'm a visual arts type of guy. We do go to the zoo and stuff alot.

For the record, I know people get great results from Zumba. Its just not for me!

You are, in fact, not required to love Zumba. :-) and good job not commenting on the neon outfit.

This was FANTASTIC!!
Keep updating us!

Are you missing fingers or something, or did you simply never learn grammar? And knowing nothing more of the situation other than JR's story (because you are not there to be a witness to it) by no means affords you the knowledge to state that your OPINION is "true".
