Asking Eric: The running club's campout tested our marriage
"I've been married to my second husband for almost five years. We belong to a running group that is more about having beers together than actually running for fitness. Some of the female members have taken a liking to my husband. One started sending him text messages, up to five times a day. He said he didn't know how to tell her not to message him, even though she'd asked if they could share a tent on a group trip that I wasn't going on."
"I worked the weekend of the campout and didn't go. When he got back, I asked him if he had participated in the naked run. He had, and he also won an activity that they do that involves running around naked with a trail of toilet paper that's on fire stuck to your butt. I was extremely hurt and felt like he disrespected our boundaries."
A married woman reports that a social running group prioritizes drinking and socializing over fitness and that several female members have shown romantic interest in her husband. One woman sent him frequent text messages and asked to share a tent on a trip. The group holds an annual campout featuring a naked run and risqué stunts; the husband participated and won a toilet-paper-on-fire relay. The wife felt hurt and believed the husband disrespected marital boundaries. The husband intends to see a therapist, and the adviser recommends couples counseling and establishing clear marital ground rules.
