Husband's new running buddy sparks suspicion from wife after he hesitates to admit he got post-workout smoothies with her, she starts to question their relationship: 'This whole situation makes me feel uncomfortable'

When it comes to long term relationships, trust is everything. Once it is broken, it is difficult to repair. This hurt can even carry over to future relationships, which is what one woman is wrestling with in our story today. She's been burned by infidelity in the past, but her 6-year relationship and 4-year marriage with her husband feels completely solid, and he's never given her a reason to doubt him. That is, until he makes a new running buddy. 

It's not the late evening runs with a recently divorced neighbor that bother her most — it's the secretive vibe surrounding them. One night, when he came home later than usual, he seemed hesitant before finally admitting he'd grabbed a smoothie with her after their workout. That hesitation set off alarm bells. Even if it was innocent, why hide it?

For anyone who's been hurt by cheating before, the avoidant behavior feels all too uncomfortably familiar. I once had a close friend who said the worst part of her ex's cheating wasn't finding out about the other person, but was realizing how many little lies he told along the way, and how those they chipped away at her ability to trust.
