His wife was apprehensive about him wanting to lose weight and wasn’t too eager to join him in his weight-loss journey, so he stopped pressuring her.
Then, his fitness plan started getting complicated when weird things began happening regarding his workout shoes.
For a while, every day, his shoes became more damaged overnight. One day, his laces snapped out of the blue, and he couldn’t tie them.
Another day, they had been hidden under his work boots. He finally had to get rid of them when, a few days later, he saw they had been cut and dirtied.
“I did have a sneaking suspicion that my wife, unfortunately, was behind this,” he said.
“The past week, she has been talking with the phone on speaker when we are both watching TV to some girls from her women’s shed about how awful men who ditch their wives are and talked about how superficial men who leave their wives for thinner, younger women are.”
This conversation prompted him to place an AirTag, a small tracking device, inside the new pair of workout shoes he had to buy since his other ones had been ruined.
Sure enough, while getting ready for a run, he saw his shoes weren’t in the same place he left them. He asked his wife if she had moved them, and she said no before accusing him of misplacing them.
He checked the location of the AirTag and discovered his shoes had been placed in a random cabinet that had nothing to do with shoes.
His wife watched him as he retrieved his shoes from her hiding place.
“When I asked her why she hid my shoe, she just huffed and left,” he recalled.
