Page 2 of My wife cheated on me with her fitness trainer

Delilah and I started dating in college and eventually got married.

During college, she did a great job hiding her true nature, which only fully emerged after we tied the knot.

After marriage, Delilah volunteered to become a full-time housewife.

She told me: "I want to be a modern independent woman. I don't want to waste my life scrambling to make ends meet. I hope to explore the true meaning of life in the future."

All of Delilah's so-called "goals" required my financial support.

I worked hard every day, only to fund her leisurely lifestyle.

But I thought this was for her own good, so I put up with it.

I just hoped she would develop some hobbies and take classes in subjects she enjoyed.

But whenever I made suggestions, she'd use having children as leverage against me.

She'd say: "I gave you a child, so it's only natural that you support me. Don't tell me what to do - I know what I want."

Over time, Delilah's weight began spiraling out of control.

Right around then, a new gym opened downstairs from our place. The good-looking guy handing out flyers at the entrance, Christian, was handsome and had a great physique.

The thing Delilah did most at home was watch videos of attractive men on her phone.

So her being drawn to the gym didn't surprise me at all.

This gym appeared to operate as a fitness business on the surface, but actually specialized in scamming money from wealthy women.

In my previous life, when I discovered Delilah had spent $100,000 on Owen, I demanded she get the money back.

But Delilah just complained: "You're not hurting for that $100,000. I gave you Emily - isn't she worth $100,000? I'm going to the gym for the good of this family. Once I get in shape, won't you benefit too?"

When I insisted she get a refund, she called Emily over and even let Emily experience being pampered by the fitness trainer Jacob.

Emily also thought I was being too controlling: "Dad, you know what? You're suffocating me. Mom and I aren't your puppets - we need to live freely. My poor grades are because you won't let me go to the gym to relax, otherwise I wouldn't be dead last in my class."

Back then, I felt life had to go on and we had a long road ahead. I thought temporarily putting up with things would prevent conflicts from escalating and let things settle down.

But I never expected that my tolerance would only lead to increasingly outrageous behavior from them.

Eventually, both mother and daughter ended up having inappropriate relationships with the fitness trainers.

Now I see clearly that Emily's values are becoming more and more like Delilah's.

This child has very likely already gone astray.

For a child who's already gone bad, there's no point in wasting effort trying to discipline her - it's better to just give up.
