AIBU to say no to a stripper for my husband’s party?

It is hubby’s 50th birthday party, his work colleagues are organising a party, which I am grateful for as I’ve just lost my Dad recently. However, one of the guys has messaged me (DH works with all men) to say would it be ok if they hired a stripper gram. I haven’t replied yet.

I was surprised, thought it was a bit of an outdated concept but I feel a lot of pressure to be the cool wife, say yes and not spoil anyone’s fun. However, I do suffer with body issues quite badly, I have a very flat chest that I was bullied about years ago. The thought of a gorgeous woman stripping off him makes me feel physically sick. I honestly don’t think I could cope with it.

So would it be ok to say no thank you or would that been seen as selfish? I don’t want everyone to think I’m a bad person.

As soon as somebody gets called out, they turn round and say: 'oh but is was sarcasm' or 'can't you take a joke?'
Rubbish.

You will need to look elsewhere for whatever dopamine hit you want from my reaction, but fyi 17 posters reacted favourably to my comment, so presumably they understood it - it's just you I'm afraid 😳👀😬.

Tell his colleagues that his aged mother (and maybe even his Granny) will be there and wouldn’t appreciate the show!
