It would've been much easier if wifey was just a bitch

But no

She was dumb all along

And that's...worse...better...idk anymore, my sides left the orbit noneheless
kinda makes me think the whole "infidelity" part is a means to humor, rather than a serious facet of the plot (even as one of the three main characters is gunning for it on some level).

that character in particular turning out to be a gigantic girlfailure maiden-in-love with the ML, sorta cuts through the severity of her intent.
the wife not actually being BAD toward her husband, diminishes the "impetus" for him to fall to temptation.
and the husband was just generally subpar in a lot of ways, in the eyes of everyone around him - but he's now turning some aspects of his life around and garnering notice and even admiration from some of those same individuals.

We've got the standard fare of misunderstanding/lack of communication that we see in all manner of comedic manga titles, and that facet is currently carrying most of the narrative tension.

Ultimately...I sorta see an endgame where, via the coworker fitness nut, the husband fixes the problems in his life and betters himself and his self-image, which would have ripple effects that mend his marriage, and he and his wife end up happier and closer together. I dunno where that leaves his coworker/blackmailer/admirer, per se, but maybe she also finds some measure of happiness in not fucking him, but...I dunno, spins it into a career built around bodybuilding and opening a business, or something.

I don't know if that's at all the goal of the author, but the tone of all of this is more wacky and lighthearted, than it is serious and sordid (even with the latent threat of adultery still hanging in the air over multiple characters). So this heading toward a "happy ending" for everyone doesn't feel impossible.
But, we shall see, of course.

I think their relationship has just become stagnet. I read through it again and the wife never did anything bad.

Sure she rejected sex but he asked out of the blue and he didint really want to have sex either.
I think it is mostly that he had let himself go, he had lost his stamina because he didn't really do anything other than work, he indulged in sweets and alcohol which made his condition worse.

Like he seems like he was always tired and didn't really do much at home, I imagine that sex was boring for both at that point because of his condition.

Like she seems to like how he is more full of energy lately, how he is looking after his body and how he was nicer than before.

Like he didn't need to be swole he just needed to improve his physical conditioning for his marriage and other aspects of his life to improve.

I thought it was going to be worse if the wife turns out to not be a sleazy cheater, but her being this...this...this much of an overthinker is actually way better lmaooo

I honestly do wonder why didn't she just become a fitness instructor, it feels like that is something she would be passionate about.
