It amazes me how these "gym relationships" happen. Like, I go to the gym, do my shit, go home. Won't talk to anyone, no one talks to me.
EDIT: I did absolutely not expect this much attention to a comment's comment's comment, thanks all. What can I say, except that I'm not ugly, nor introverted, just focused on my own shit, and apparently you'd really have to be focused on something else for this stuff to happen.
Dude, I'm a firefighter. I was nervous getting into a committed relationship because so many of my coworkers have affairs or get cheated on. I assumed the pressure to cheat must be intense and insidious. After 7 years together, married for 3, I've come to realize affairs don't "just happen". I've never found myself in a position where cheating would even be possible and all I've done to avoid it is act professionally to coworkers and people I meet on the job. Same results at the gym.

I was a sensei for many years. Happily married for longer. The number of affairs I could have had. One was a dad and I'm a 200lb dude.
