A 40-year-old Australian pilot has been happily married to his 34-year-old wife for eight months. OP's wife stays home in Hong Kong while he works.

One of his wife's friends suggested she take tennis lessons, which OP thought was great. It was a fantastic way to stay fit, and his wife won't be bored at home all day.

His wife's friend recommended a former English teacher turned tennis coach in his mid-20s. Quickly, the once-a-week lessons became twice-a-week, and now OP is paying for his wife's daily tennis lessons.

Their one-hour coaching sessions are now three hours daily. OP asked his wife if he could join her during one of her lessons, but she declined and said it wouldn't be a good idea.

The day after his initial post, OP shared an update. Redditors advised him to hire a private investigator to confirm his suspicions.

OP thought confronting his spouse would yield faster results, and he was right. OP asked his wife why she has been spending so much time with John, the tennis coach.

His wife immediately deflected OP's accusations. She generalized Australian men as toxic cheaters and lumped OP into that category.

She said her friend warned her against Australian guys. OP's wife ended her litany by saying that she couldn't even remember why she married him because he was never home anyway.

OP told his wife that he knew what she was trying to do

He threatened to divorce her which she didn't appreciate

She stormed out of their flat and went home an hour later. She was ready to apologize.

She confessed to being lonely when OP is away for work. She promised to stop seeing her tennis coach because she didn't want to lose OP. He doubted if their marriage would last.

She must be an incredible player by now after those hours of rigorous training

The rant about Australian men was suspicious as hell

OP is essentially paying this tennis coach to have an affair with his wife

OP took the spirit of this comment based on his follow-up post two weeks later

The writing was, indeed, on the wall as OP's spidey senses told him

He and his wife gave their marriage another try. One fateful week, OP went home a day earlier than scheduled with a boquet of flowers to surprise his wife.

In his living room were his half naked wife and her tennis coach who was wearing OP's boxers. John had the decency to look ashamed while his wife scolded OP for being rude to her coach. OP left the house and is in contact with a divorce attorney.

What a far-fetched conclusion! Not.

I doubt if he ever was her tennis coach

At least OP now has an eye-witness account to his wife's infidelity

Stay far away from tennis coaches and pool boys in your next relationship, OP

On the bright side, OP figured this all out early in their marriage. He didn't have to waste years of his life trapped in a marriage with an amateur tennis player with pro-level training stamina.

Do you think OP's wife resumed her "tennis lessons" when OP moved out of their flat? I think OP should get a refund for all those tennis lessons that never were.
