What would you say if your dh went to a lap dancing club?

This is a hypothetical question but dh is away this weekend and I just have a sneaking suspicion that he may have done this, mainly because of which friends he has gone with, one of whom I know has used prostitutes on more than one occasion.

I am not suggesting for a minute that he would do this, or be unfaithful, or actually pay for a lap dance (he would feel too embarrassed!) but he would go along if other people were going to a club.

From a feminist point of view, what would you say? I need something suitably withering and fact based as I am feeling frazzled and stressed from looking after our 3 ds's all weekend whilst trying to get house ready for guests this week Confused Angry

Innit.

Translation:

^Isn’t it (often used in conversation when seeking confirmation or as a general filler):
it’s the easiest way, innit?
we all want to get highly paid jobs, innit?^

May I ask you a question Lilly? How have you come to the conclusion that I am naive? Because I am young?

Thanks anyfucker big loves peace out x

AnyFucker · 08/04/2014 17:29

Arguing with a Goady Fucker on FWR seems rather like undignified deja vu so I shall leave you to your lolling, Lilly Smile

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 17:25

Ah thouneeds at 26 your still a baby! Bless you il leave you to your naive opinions as I know one day with a little life experience they will change. Sorry could you educate me on something..... What does innit mean? I do not use slang so didn't understand this word. Thanks love x

"'I'm guessing you've had some negative male role models in your life that have made you feel the need to defend yourself against men"

^ eh?

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 17:20

Yeah anyfucker some say I have a gift for understanding the female mind! I'm guessing you've had some negative male role models in your life that have made you feel the need to defend yourself against men. Don't worry they are not all like that and with some therapy I'm sure you will mend yourself my darling x big hugs x

Kittymalinky · 08/04/2014 17:15

I have/would tell him that every time he looks at one of the girls to think of his DD. Would he want men looking/thinking about her like that. If it's a no he shouldn't be there.

Thouneedsbedamned · 08/04/2014 17:14

Boring? Depends on your definition of interesting.

Perception is reality and all that innit.

Old? In dog years maybe. I'm 26.

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 17:14

Thanks Minnie I think without a sense of humour life would be pretty dull! (As proved by SOME of the women on here!) lol

AnyFucker · 08/04/2014 17:12

Wow ! How did you know ? Was it is your super duper female intuition ?

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 17:10

What a lovely screen name you have anyfucker is that what your DH said when you asked him who he'd like as a wife?

Minnieisthedevilmouse · 08/04/2014 17:05

Lilly, that was actually quite funny.

Bit wired. But rather funny.

AnyFucker · 08/04/2014 17:04

Goady Fuckery is soooo last year, dahhhhling x

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 17:02

Oh and thouneeds, thanks for the advice about growing up il try it when I'm old and boring like you my love mwah xx

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 16:57

I love to please my man yes and he loves to please me! He bought me a new iron, Hoover and washing machine the other day just because I'm such a great wifey! I was so overwhelmed I cried tears of happiness! I even let his mates come round and watch football and drink beer while I cooked them all a good old fashioned Sunday roast. They loved it! #myblissfullife

Minnieisthedevilmouse · 08/04/2014 16:50

Really don't care. It's not my first choice. I've been before. Up to him really.

Thouneedsbedamned · 08/04/2014 16:10

My pleasure Cake

These threads probably aren't going to give you an accurate representation of what the rest of the population think.

Its just a perfect shit spouting opportunity for trolls/truckers/fuckers and the "cool WAGS" to tell us all how we are:

a. jealous
b.bitter
c.controlling
d.being lied to

Nice to see people projecting healthily though eh? Wink

AnyFucker · 08/04/2014 15:33

Lilly, you are a bit of a Manpleaser, aren't you ? You should get that seen to.

CakeExpectations · 08/04/2014 15:33

Thank you for that reply Thouneeds. To be honest I was struggling with a combination of rage, open-mouthed speechlessness and sadness at the level (some of) MN has sunk to.

So you said it for me. Thanks

Martorana · 08/04/2014 15:24

I would say "Who are you, and what have you done with my Dp?"

If it turns out that it was him. I would say "Here is your bag and there is the door"

Thouneedsbedamned · 08/04/2014 15:22

My answer:

Are you ok my darling your appear to have misplaced your moral compass? May I assist you in locating it?

Lilly Funnily enough my DH thinks something similar. Not that it is harmless but yes, it is indeed an activity for "boys."

"And if your DH/DP says he would never go to one don't believe him they will lie just to shut you up lol"

Yes because lying to "shut you up" is so very LOL inducing isn't it?

Growing up a bit does wonders for the type of men you can attract. Try it sometime.

Lol.

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 15:10

Oh btw it works both ways so by being reasonable with him he has to be reasonable with you when you tell him your going to watch dream boys with your girl friends!

LillyRose28 · 08/04/2014 15:07

Most men have been or will go to a lap dancing club at some point in their lives. If you are secure in your relationship and in yourself you won't mind them going. You may get a twang of jealousy but this is more because you think your not as sexy as the dancers or have body hang ups. These women are not who most men want to marry and that's why they come home to you. A bit of harmless "boys" fun is ok in my opinion. And if your DH/DP says he would never go to one don't believe him they will lie just to shut you up lol

duedater · 26/03/2014 11:38

I don't think men who do go to lapdancing clubs have feminists as girlfriends or wives in the first place.

So you lot probably don't need to worry.

whatdoesittake48 · 26/03/2014 11:18

I would be disappointed that he had been led astray by friends - because i am certain he would never do that off his own bat. it would change our relationship forever.
