He Discovered That His Wife Was Trying To Sabotage His Weight Loss Journey, But She’s Calling Him The Controlling One
Some women in the world will tell you that if your husband or boyfriend suddenly wants to get in shape, work out more, and look better, it’s likely because they want to pick up other girls.
It’s a pretty toxic mindset, but it truly affects certain relationships.
One man recently discovered his wife was trying to sabotage his fitness goals by hiding and messing up his workout shoes.
He and his wife are in their 30s and have been married for 12 years. He works as an engineer, and his wife volunteers at a women’s shed in their community. They are proud parents of two cats.
Recently, he’s been yearning for a lifestyle change after noticing that he’s gained a lot of weight and been a lot less active over the last few years.
He and his wife were recently at some of their heaviest weights, with him being 243 pounds and her being 215 pounds.
“I think the turning point for me was needing to dig out one of my old suit jackets for an event and realizing I had no chance of fitting in it,” he explained.
“Since then, I have worked hard to lose that weight and become healthier. I also encouraged my wife to join me,”
While he loves his wife no matter what she looks like, he wants them to be healthy enough to be able to live a happier and longer life together as a couple.

His wife was apprehensive about him wanting to lose weight and wasn’t too eager to join him in his weight-loss journey, so he stopped pressuring her.
Then, his fitness plan started getting complicated when weird things began happening regarding his workout shoes.
For a while, every day, his shoes became more damaged overnight. One day, his laces snapped out of the blue, and he couldn’t tie them.
Another day, they had been hidden under his work boots. He finally had to get rid of them when, a few days later, he saw they had been cut and dirtied.
“I did have a sneaking suspicion that my wife, unfortunately, was behind this,” he said.
“The past week, she has been talking with the phone on speaker when we are both watching TV to some girls from her women’s shed about how awful men who ditch their wives are and talked about how superficial men who leave their wives for thinner, younger women are.”
This conversation prompted him to place an AirTag, a small tracking device, inside the new pair of workout shoes he had to buy since his other ones had been ruined.
Sure enough, while getting ready for a run, he saw his shoes weren’t in the same place he left them. He asked his wife if she had moved them, and she said no before accusing him of misplacing them.
He checked the location of the AirTag and discovered his shoes had been placed in a random cabinet that had nothing to do with shoes.
His wife watched him as he retrieved his shoes from her hiding place.
“When I asked her why she hid my shoe, she just huffed and left,” he recalled.
“When I came back from my run, one of her close friends from her women’s shed was on the couch, and they both tried to accuse me of using surveillance to track my wife and controlling her.”
Was he wrong to put a tracking device in his shoes to catch his wife in the act?
