I am not sure what I’m hoping for from posting this..probably some reassurance that I’m not being over the top in feeling so humiliated.

DP returned from his abroad stag do yesterday (we get married later in the summer). A big group went and I know a few of the other partners really well.

One of my friends who is married to one of my DP’s best mates messaged me whilst they were still away to say it sounded mental and she’d had a few photos/videos through from her other half, sent with a drunken message in the early hours of the morning.

She sent me one of the videos which was basically my DP on a sort of podium with a barely dressed woman/dancer wearing a really skimpy sort of bondage outfit. It’s about 2 minutes long and she pulls his shorts down and starts using a whip on him. She then gets him to lie down and she lowers herself above his face.

This is all egged on to cheers and shouting from the group.

I’ve confronted him about it - he says he was pushed into it and had no choice. He also said it was not a strip club and was a normal bar which happened to have the woman on the podium. I have googled the place and it is not a strip club. But the whole resort seems so sleazy. He said they’d been drinking in the sun all day and he barely remembers it, but that was happening to’all the others stags too’.

I find it so so embarrassing all the other partners have probably seen this video too, as it was in the group chat and people would have sent stuff on like happened with my friend.

Thanks to anyone still reading. Am I wrong to have reacted like this?

Maybe people shouldn't be acting like fannies on their stag night

And men certainly shouldn't be anywhere near prostitutes' fannies at any time.

So it’s a race to the bottom. As my mum used to say…”If everyone else jumped off of a bridge, would you?”

If he’s taking zero accountability and not showing proper remorse, it doesn’t sound like he’s actually sorry. He doesn’t think he did anything wrong, so there is nothing to be sorry for. This is not an equal match of values and morals. Think very carefully about whether or not this is what you want in a long-term partner—life is easy in the honeymoon phase, but marriage is hard graft once you’re years and years in—a firm foundation from the outset is imperative.

This is right all the love and sexual spark in the world will not be enough to base a long term marriage on. Next year is our 30th wedding anniversary and we lived together before that. There have been ups and downs and tough times but what got up through is being best mates, same sense of humour and shared values. Being in love and having a good physical relationship is great but no where near enough to get through the tough times.
