Fiancé paid for topless/ nude pool in strip club

My partner is younger than me and likes a drink. He went for a few drinks at a friend's house to watch football and said he'd get the bus home. I got a text after 8pm saying he'd missed the bus and would get a cab. .Turned up after 3am (I was asleep so unsure exactly when he returned). He was apologetic and said he stayed at his mates. What he didnt realise is that I found a cloakroom ticket in his bag saying date and time- the night in question. I asked again the next day....looked me in the eye when I asked if he only went to his friend's. He went sniffling upstairs saying he couldn't stand the silence. I followed and shoved the ticket under his face. He started crying and said he went to the very strip club again that he swore he'd never return to a year or so ago. I went ballistic and cried and called him a sick little creep going there let alone on his own. Two days later I asked what happened. He played pool in the games room. Paid £200!!!!! Seems sketchy on the details and feigned ignorance when I mentioned Twister and the VIP toilet. 3 games of pool at 50 quid each for topless according to the website. He paid 200 which would be the cost for naked. Said he "just wanted to play pool and they said it had to be topless". What the hell else did he do? And why is it so expensive?! And why does he have amnesia over the VIP loo??! I feel sick just looking at him. Always emphasises the no touch rule which I know is a load of crap in those dives. Plus extras at the right price. He went to another night club afterwards but paid entry and came straight out again. But until 3am???!! I now cant believe anything he says to me. So distraught. Still not over the first time. He used to go a lot apparently, back in the day. What to do?

How do you know what he did in there did it say in the cloakroom ticket? How often does he go out? He may have been more than you realise. Also curious to know what a VIP toilet is!!

unbelievablybelievable · 27/01/2026 22:02

Omfg! I've just worked it out. A VIP toilet is so you can wank without being disturbed isn't it? 🤢

Baldibicci · 27/01/2026 22:08

You all disgusted at this guy, but how do you know what all your men get up to!? Don’t make fun of someone as you never know!

Squirrelchops1 · 27/01/2026 22:11

A fool and his money are easily parted...is that the saying?!

Calliopespa · 27/01/2026 22:18

Honestly op, there are so many lies here from him - and that's just the dishonesty and before you consider the foul fact he pays for topless/nude pool, if that's even all it was.

Then he cries when cornered.

What's to like?

I'm sorry though; it will still hurt and I understand that. But it's time to move on. There's no proper relationship to be had here.

Well I guess people don't. But they do know how they would respond if they found out something similar.

OttersMayHaveShifted · 27/01/2026 22:19

Why on earth are you still with this creep? He already did this before?! You should have dumped him the first time.

Typical mn though, they complain about the men then take them back 🙄

🙄 You're suggesting we should not judge this man for behaving this way, just because we can't be sure that other men don't also do the same? That's stupid and illogical. And no, my husband doesn't go to strip clubs.

Of course not

WallaceinAnderland · 27/01/2026 22:27

So now of course I'm wondering if more went on than he's admitting to.

What more do you want. He's a cheat.

Pallisers · 27/01/2026 22:32

What to do? Dump him and have an STD test.

Hellohelga · 27/01/2026 22:45

Dump him he’s vile

Endofyear · 27/01/2026 23:18

Ewww yuk 🤮 get rid of him OP - don't ever let him touch you again!

Everintroverte · 28/01/2026 00:43

Gross gross gross. As my sister would say, block and delete.

You deserve better than this.

caringcarer · 28/01/2026 01:17

He'd be binned off PDQ by me. He has no respect for you and no respect for women in general. He's also a liar and I wouldn't take his crap. Bin him off and trade up to someone else. Pretty much any other man would be a trade up. I'd be telling him this too. He is a scumbag.

BauhausOfEliott · 28/01/2026 09:55

Oh FFS, just dump him. He uses sex workers.

Lavenderandbrown · 28/01/2026 10:26

You’re looking at your future today OP. Want to repeat this again in a year or less? Of course he will do it again…he already has.

TheBlueKoala · 28/01/2026 10:34

I would actually prefer if lt dh had an affair rather than paying for prostitution. It's so utterly disgusting. One thing is for sure- I would kick him out for either one and so should you @Coppelia74 if you have got some selfrespect.

thismummydrinksgin · 28/01/2026 10:42

If you marry this man imagine what he will be like in 10-15 years when it’s hum drum at home and you may have kids putting pressure on you. Honestly it doesn’t sound good. I’d cut my losses, he’s not respecting you and doesn’t sound happy.

Stripperyone · 28/01/2026 10:49

Whereabouts are you OP? I have been a stripper over 20 years, all over the country, and I haven't ever heard of a VIP toilet, I have friends in the same industry who have never mentioned one, we'd have all been disgusted if it is what it sounds like?!

Less shocking, but I haven't heard of naked twister either nor topless/naked pool although I can see the merit in the latter.
I have never worked anywhere that would expect us to do the former. Too risky and too much agency to the customer.

I hadn't heard of these either but I googled- shamelessly admit because I was wondering what on earth a VIP toilet is - and I found a strip club/ lap dancing club that offered these. I won't say where it is as the location might be outing for the OP. It didn't mention a VIP toilet, whatever that gross sounding place might be.

Honestly OP I'm so sorry this has happened but at least now you are fully aware of what type of person he is. Please save yourself further upset and get rid of him ASAP.

Wishimaywishimight · 28/01/2026 11:04

Honestly, if you walk into a marriage with this sleaze, with your eyes wide open as to what he is, then on your own head be it.

You must surely have more respect for yourself than to accept this behaviour?

forgivingfiggy · 28/01/2026 11:08

This will erode your confidence, there will be no trust. Get rid before you’re so worn down by it that you can’t get out.

ApplebyArrows · 28/01/2026 11:20

He's a pervert and a terrible liar, it seems unlikely his other qualities can outweigh that.
