That's normal right Sorry you are having to go through all this, her nonsense about trusting him etc etc is just "I find him attractive". She sounds like a piece of poo poo for doing this to you and you are better off without her.

He is loving your girlfriend and everyone knows it but you. Everyone involved is nuts and its time to bounce on to a better gym.

I was one of the assisting instructors and ended up marrying one of the students. Does that count?. Although to the best of my knowledge, she wasn't seeing anyone when she started at our club.

I used to pop my head into a local gym where I was friendly with the head black belt who has phenomenal jiu jitsu and this new white belt girl started training and suddenly 50% of his rolling time was dedicated to helping to mold her game. It didn't bother me since it wasn't my main gym but lol dude could not have been more overt.

Yea it could end up cool like yours, I assume, but for every time it was cool there's times where poo poo happens and causes a whole mess of drama and the gym suffers for it.

also dude - your coach has already hosed your (ex?) girlfriend - which sucks but it's kind of your fault (sort of not really) but you should probably just cut it out of your life and move on

also definitely don't stab your coach - you'll either go to jail or get your rear end hilariously kicked in front of your girlfriend who will probably get turned on by the whole thing

Yeah, to be fair, I was aware of the potential fallout risk and was aware that I probably would have to change club, should it go awry. Many of us mixed socially after practice and a lot of us in the same age-group (25-35), so relationships, if not common, certainly weren't unheard of. The only real drama was when one couple split up, but they joined as a couple and eventually sorted themselves out enough to be able to practice together. (Although that did take a couple of years)

There is a middle ground on gym relationships - adults need to meet people somewhere, after all, and social-recreational activities are one of the main avenues for that - but there certainly shouldn't be a power differential involved. When any relationship begins to develop, if the persons are responsible consenting adults, they should do their best consciously to ensure that it doesn't become gym drama with preferential treatment and clique development and the like. If it's affecting practice, it's bad for everyone. The times I've seen these things work out, there was no in-practice hint of anything until the couple was already at that "going to each others' families' homes for holidays" point. It's also really really bad and gross if the male club members, especially the senior ones, treat any new women like fresh meat. That just serves to make gyms gross and to drive away female students. tl;dr take it slow and don't be gross.

Yeah a white belt girl at my club's started going out with one of the purple belts, but that's just adults meeting doing something cool. I've never seen any of this creepy poo poo you guys are talking about at the couple of clubs I've trained at, poo poo's hosed up.

I don't like anime but I'm pretty loving goony. Id be pissed if my girlfriend suddenly thought it was ok to cheat because she had met some athletic men. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect not to be cheated on by your other half.

Your immediate reaction to someone's girlfriend cheating on them being "Well you shouldn't have taken her somewhere she might meet dudes other than you" is maybe a little more revealing of your attitude towards relationships than you might have intended.

I've hooked up with girls at the gym and despite it never being a thing it was always kind of awkward later but nothing came of it because we were all adults. Still, I'd recommend not mixing your love life and mat life if you can avoid - ymmv of course

What a world I live in. The guy that needs to bring a knife around with him "just in case" things turn sour with his coach is better adjusted than the guy offering him "advice". gently caress that gym man, you'll be better for it and gently caress those people too.

Just came here to call your girlfriend dumb and you dumb for staying in the gym. Seriously though find a new gym where you can be comfortable to train. Your now ex gf obviously has some pretty deep daddy issues so it's better you found out now rather than down the line.
