Would you be OK with this?

[Winoonoo]

Would you be happy with your dh going to the gym on a regular basis with another woman?

Nope
I’m not a cool wife.

Yes. I trust my DH and we both have friends of different sexes.

Apparently it is a fact that a lot of affairs start at the gym.
I wouldn't be happy with my DH going regularly with another women. They will inevitably form a close bond and its asking for trouble.

Yes because I trust my DH.

DH does a 30-50 mile bike ride every week with a woman from up the road. She’s in her 70s though so I don’t worry about him, I worry about her having a heart attack or stroke!

This made me laugh

If they already had a close bond would you be more OK or less OK with it?

We need more info as it depends who she is, her age etc....

Yes, I'm widowed now but my husband and I both had good friends of the opposite sex, nbd.

Nope. Pretty sure he wouldn’t be thrilled about me going with a male friend either.

DH doesn’t have female friends that he would go out with alone. So would be weird . Depends on relationship .

Would depend on who it was but generally, no. There’s no way my OH would be cool about it the other way round either.

Dh is okay about the fact that I go to the gym sometimes with his best mate and we also go running together occasionally.
He’s like a brother to me! To be fair once we get to the gym after we’ve done our warm up we go our separate ways and meet up afterwards to drive home together. I usually pick him up as he’s on my way. Maybe once or twice a week.
Dh is not a ‘cool husband’ - I don’t really understand the definition of this terminology tbh, Dh is an unfit dinosaur and couldn’t care less about the gym 😂

No

@TheChosenTwo but the fact that you go to the gym with his fit best friend while you refer to him as an unfit dinosaur, reeks of distance between you.

It's impossible to answer that without knowing what the bond is. You could be talking about his sister. In which case,yes it would be fine. If you are talking about a work colleague or a female friend probably not. But really without any details I wouldn't like to say for definite.

No and I would be very suspicious

Yes it wouldn't bother me, like you say they already have a close bond so if they were going to cheat they would already done so, going to the gym wouldn't change that.

Yes I would be fine people can exercise together hang out drink whatever without knobbing each other.

Does it? Okay then 😂
We’re fine AFAIK!

No I wouldn't like and I know my husband wouldn't either.

I don't have a husband but I can't imagine I'd want one who couldn't be trusted to be alone with a woman. So yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Ultimately, if someone wants to cheat, they'll do it. There's no value in a relationship that's only functioning because you prevent them from having the opportunity to cheat.

The fact that you are asking gives you the answer that you aren't ok with it.

Doesn't matter about anything else.
Cycling is potentially different to gym as less time for chat more time for checking out each others bodies
Though cyclists I know seem to do a lot of time in cafes too as part of the hobby ! (Still in Lycra)

Assuming it's your husband

Yes! In a dead marriage where I’m praying for the guy to fall into a chasm and disappear into a long and disastrous, marriage-ending affair, I’d be fine with it. Otherwise, noooo. Nope. All signs point to nope.
