Welllll... not if he wanted to go to get a lap dance. If he wanted to just watch or accompany a buddy then okay. It's like porn. No prob.

Don't touch other women the way you'd touch me and we're fine

Men don't go to strip clubs to pick up women. The few times I've gone there was always quite a few couples there together. The women aren't trying to pick up men either.

I have a love/hate relationship with them. I enjoy them but at the same time I feel cheap and kind of feel sorry for the women. But then I have another drink and remember that these women are bringing in a lot more bank than I am probably.

Well I don't know about that. But it seems to me that many American couples are like that these days and do their own thing. Another perfect example. There are a group of guys who are mid 40s to early 60svand especially the early 60svguysvwho have kids who are married with their own families. And one guy out of that group is never married and another divorced and the rest of them grandparents with their kids bring out of the house. They all went in a 2 week golf outing in Ireland and when they got. Back to the states they kept bragging about how the partied hard at the Irish pubs in Ireland in the evening after the golf games and about the Irish girls that worked at the pubs. How can they be like that? Knowing that some of the people from that group that went have grandchildren and that their wives didn't care about them partying.?there are possibilities that group could have slept around out there in Ireland. No one is trusting anymore. No wonder many people are staying single these days

You're contradicting yourself. They're ok with these people going and having fund with their friends PRECISELY because they are trusting.

You seem to have trust issues, as in, you don't seem to be able to trust others.

Meh. They're just boobs.

That said, if he is planning an expensive night out that you truly cannot afford, that is one thing. If your problem is more that he is spending the money on something you don't like, that's another.
Yeah, they really are, aren't they? Agree with the rest of this post, as well.

He's a grown man, OP. "Let" him go. Strip clubs cater to male fantasy, I suppose (they're not my thing, even if the strippers are fantastic-looking men). But women can have their fantasies, too. I certainly did in my marriage. Thank gawd for fantasies; they add a little spice.

My husband now would never go to a strip club with his friends, let alone spend money on it. Last time he went (that I know of) was when his brother came back from deployment and he just got dragged along and he didn't enjoy his time there (so he says). Then again, my husband is such a home body now, he would rather watch his shows and play video games with his family than go out with his friends.

If you're not comfortable with it, just tell him. Every marriages are different. Every couples have their "do's and don't's" in their relationship. If you think going to a strip club is crossing the line, you should discuss that with him.

Well how far can you go trusting? Especially a group of guys in a foreign country ???? Come on. Why not take the spouse or other family member to Europe?

You ever heard the phrase "what goes to XXXX, stays in XXXX?" Yeah you don't want to know, and it's more prevalent than you think.

Ha! Yeah, that's probably one of the reasons I find them depressing, too.
