Mary was married to Liam for 25 years. They had their ups and downs, but mostly they were happy.
Recently, Liam started to spent more and more time in the bathroom. He was not like that before.
One night, while Mary was dealing with the laundry, she heard a thud. She then heard heavy breathing and a low grunt.
She then realised that the noise was coming from the bathroom so she asked if Liam was alright.
“Yeah, just… taking my time,” Liam responded.
As Mary let that go, she slowly become suspicious and suspicious as Liam kept taking his time whenever he was in bathroom.
When she asked to her husband what was he doing in the bathroom, Liam responded, “Can’t a guy have some privacy?”
One evening, she found her husband in the bathroom again. When she asked one more time, Liam told her that he couldn’t do it any faster. When Mary asked what was he couldn’t do faster, “Just leave it alone Mary,” he said.
In that evening, while Liam was once again in the bathroom, he left his phone unlocked on the table. When it buzzed, Mary decided to check it.
She then found a video in the phone, from an hour ago. Liam was doing push ups in the bathroom while wearing workout clothes. He was covered in sweat, and was groaning with each rep.
He then started to do sit-ups.
Then Mary rushed towards the bathroom, and wanted Liam to open the door. She knocked harder with each pound.
As he opened the door, covered in sweat, he asked that if she found the video. He then revealed that he gained few pounds and added that he was ashamed of it, and was afraid that she would notice it.
“I didn’t want you to see me like this,” he said.
“So I started working out… in secret. I hired this online coach and started doing these bathroom workouts so you wouldn’t… notice how out of shape I’d gotten.”
As Mary hugged to her husband, she told him that they should go to a gym, instead of this effort. That would be their couple activity.
