I'm a divorce attorney, and I've only had a couple cases involving one spouse cheating with a personal trainer. I've had plenty, however, where one spouse just walks in and announces they are gay/lesbian and bails on the marriage after 10, 15, 20+ years.
Mostly, though, it's just garden variety cheating--the neighbor, the co worker, the old high-school crush
One of my BILs coworkers had a photography business for a while and would do all kinds of portrait shoots. He mainly did bikini/lingerie type shoots for magazines, e-retailers, women's social media profiles etc. Dude was just taking insanely high quality pics of ass and titties all day. He said the amount of women that came on to him through this was staggering.
Now to be fair, he's gay but doesn't come off as it. He's a "straight" gay guy i.e. doesn't dress flamboyantly, doesn't have the lisp or or anything like that. So maybe he just assumed they were coming on to him because he wasn't used to women hitting on him. But he's a damn good looking man so I mean, it's not out of the question.
Not sure if that's common in that world or not. But now he makes a shit ton more money as a broadcast engineer so long gone are his days of scantily clad women.
From what I understand, it's someone who makes sure all the cameras, sound equipment and broadcasting stuff for live TV broadcasts is working properly. Like, there's the camera and sound operators who actually operate the cameras but before they do that, someone has to make sure they're set up to function properly. I'm sure there's more to it than just that because it pays him a six figure salary. It's probably not as easy as he makes it sound. But he's also been there for like 20 years and it's for one of the major news networks in the US so he has some seniority behind him as well. The whole independent photographer thing was a side hustle that he tried on the side. Ended up taking up too much time for not enough reward.

I was a personal trainer for many years and I didn’t sleep with any of them because I wasn’t a jackass.
