I (32f) may have accidentally got my massage therapist (David, 30m, who I appreciate and value deeply) in hot water.
I’ve been seeing David monthly for over 8 years, and he is an absolute life saver to me. I know him and his wife well, and my husband is friendly with both of them too. I see David about half the time at the spa he works at, and half the time at his home studio.
Last year when I was eight months pregnant with my son I was having a terribly difficult time with my pregnancy. I was very uncomfortable and often sick, and the extra weight was causing stress in my lower and upper back, calves and glutes as well as my feet (basically, everywhere). I went to see David (hadn’t seen him for several months since being pregnant) at his home studio, and despite my overall discomfort and having to lay on my side and back, he completely healed my muscles and my mind, helping me stretch and relax and treating my muscles.
Because I was quite overheated and uncomfortable with the physical positioning, about halfway through the session we ditched the sheet. I was nude. It was NOT sexual in any way - I felt like a sweaty blob - but made things easier for him and me. (This was the first time I had been nude in front of him.)
When I got home my husband immediately saw the change in me, and I thought I should let him know I was naked during the massage, so I told him. He was surprised and had a couple questions but understood and was fine, and was glad I felt better.
Well, my husband and I ran into David’s wife recently and I mentioned how helpful David has been to me, and my husband joked about how David “saw more of me at eight months pregnant than he had” or something like that, alluding to the time I was naked. Evidently, she had not been clued in about this fact and acted strangely. I texted David to give him a heads up, and he just said, “not good. Complicated.” We haven’t spoken since. I fear I may have put him in a bad spot.
AITA for opening my mouth about this?
