Probably the wrong place to post. My fiancé admitted that he had a lap dance last month. I’m gutted.

I don’t know whether this is the right place to post.

Myself and OH have been together for 8 years. I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant with DD2.

He went on his friend’s stag do last month, they went to Prague. I’m not naive, I know they weren’t going to look at the architecture and had gotten my head around the fact that they’d be going to strip clubs etc.

I didn’t want to be ‘that’ girlfriend who comes across as jealous and possessive but I told him that I completely and utterly draw the line at private lap dances. Having a naked woman grind herself across his privates with her boobs in his face is crossing a line in my eyes. It tells me that he has the desire to cheat.

It wasn’t like the Spanish Inquisition when he got back. I was happy to see him and asked him if he’d had a good time. I got short and snappy one or two word replies. He never really elaborated much.

He was driving last night and a text came through on his phone from the groom. I asked him if he wanted me to read it and he slammed all on and shouted ‘no!’

I caught a glimpse of the messages and one from OH read ‘I was so hard after that dance, I had to find a toilet to relieve myself.’

I was very upset initially. He tried to deny it and then said that his friend had paid for it for him and he felt as though he had to go through with it, oh must’ve been such a chore having a beautiful, slim, young girl bouncing on your boner!! Fully nude too apparently!

I feel so vulnerable, down and depressed about it all. I know in the scheme of things it’s probably not that bad but I made my feelings clear before he went. I’ve been on a lot of hen parties and never had the urge to have some stranger rub himself against me.

I feel like I’ve lost all respect for OH’s friends too. I don’t want to go to their fucking wedding next month and to be honest I want to call our wedding off. That’s how upset I am about it all!

Why is porn being brought into this? Both lead to masterbation. Both involve people paid to perform in a sexual way. Both may involve exploitation. Surely they are on the same spectrum? Yet one is considered completely normal in mumsnet. One is considered cheating. I wonder what the other side of the story would be here. Whether he would (genuinely and without malice) consider his partner controlling for stating he couldn’t have a lap dance. He is entitled to that opinion too. It’s just another opinion on a spectrum of opinions.

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 20:17

Oh good god, ok then

auntsarent · 14/03/2019 20:34

What is it that you find more acceptable with porn out of interest?

Robin2323 · 14/03/2019 20:46

Not unless his cock has dropped off and he's suddenly got a vagina. I simply just don't agree with the shrew crew on here that seem to believe all men are bad and all women are angels. I also think its frankly dangerous that overwhelmingly the advice on here, irrespective of the deed, leads to the massed cry of LTB. With no consideration to practicalities and the future. Women are as capable of causing pain and heartbreak as men but on here men are vilified and women are seen as perfect. Its wrong. Its dangerous. Its sexist.
YES REREAD

Deadringer · 14/03/2019 20:47

Why has such disgusting behaviour become the norm for many men? Why do some men commit to one women then decide it's ok to pay a strange woman to rub her naked body all over him for money? And why are some women so quick to defend the behaviour of said men? What the fuck is the world coming to! If men want to behave like this they should stay single, then of course there wouldn't be any of these nasty stag dos, win win.

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 20:48

I don't find it acceptable to be honest but love that you jumped to the conclusion that I do, even although I haven't insinuated that I do once.

I would definitely find someone grinding naked on my DP worse than him watching porn. Still don't like porn.

Robin2323 · 14/03/2019 20:49

Irrespective of the deed leaves to a mass cry if LTB

are you the perfect wife with the perfect husband?

No disagreement ever ???

Always on the same page?

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 20:49

Now go back and read the first post from that person.

What the fuck are you going on about?

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 20:52

Since when does someone not agreeing with their DH/DP having private naked lap dances and then going for a wee wank after turn into me having the perfect relationship? 😂

Chickenwing · 14/03/2019 20:57

How do you feel about male strippers that grind on the hen at a hen party? Would you expect her partner to leave her for participating?

It's pretty commonplace for both sexes to have lapdances at stag/hens and it's not the same as cheating. It's a completely different context and there's no touching.

(And i do agree that OPs partner has gone too far by attempting to touch the stripper.)

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 21:06

If he felt uncomfortable with it, yes.

I would like to point out that I haven't heard of any cases of grown men being used for trafficking, so don't compare the 2.

Also if I was to go to see male strippers and pay for a private dance, with a naked man grinding his cock in my face, I do actually believe that my DP would leave me for that yes. Luckily it's not something that tickles my fancy on a hen do (have one in a couple of weeks as it goes and I highly doubt we will end up in a strip club, with guys cocks in our faces)

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 21:11

And that's because we all have partners at home so are happy enough to just stick to their cocks. If any of the other ladies fancy it I can honestly say I won't go as I've been to one before and it was so cringe worthy it was embarrassing (single at the time btw and still no cock grinded on top of me, and still didn't feel the need to pay them to rub up against me naked)

Robin2323 · 14/03/2019 22:09

Do I have to spell it out?
Pay attention.

Robin2323 · 14/03/2019 22:15

My point is what ever problem is it's always LTB.

So my question to you is are you such a perfect women you never argue with your partner ?

Have you never done anything wrong ?

Are you both always on the same page ?

Now do you know what the 'fuck' I'm in about ?

Or is it too complicated?

Windowsareforcheaters · 14/03/2019 22:21

I wouldn't leave my partner if he did this - perhaps I can say that because I know he wouldn't. The point is it isn't a LTB issue for us.

However, it is for the OP. She told him this before he left. If he felt she was being controlling he has that conversation with her, he remained silent so she assumed he agreed.

He then did something while knowing it would distress the OP. What happens in other relationships is irrelevant. He broke the rules of the relationship he was in.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 14/03/2019 22:23

Please stop with the bickering on this thread

OP needs support with however she goes forward, she's 29 weeks pregnant in turmoil and in hospital

Allow her to get some support here at least

Binting · 14/03/2019 22:31

OP I’m sorry that you are in hospital, I’m sure the immense stress you are under hasn’t helped matters. You seem very strong and know your boundaries and your worth. You will be absolutely fine. Your children are lucky to have a woman like you as their mum Flowers

Robin2323

No I still honestly don't know how you have come to that conclusion. My partner and I argue all the time about normal things. If we were arguing about him going to a strip club for a private dance with a naked woman we wouldn't be arguing for long because he would be gone. HTH.

Drogosnextwife · 14/03/2019 22:52

"Get a room", are you 15? You honestly don't need to read our posts if you are so irrationally angered by them.

Pay attention.

😂😂 Your a charmer, you sure people respect you IRL?

Anyway, this is boring now, fed up listening to people being purposely obtuse. I'm sure the OP stopped reading long ago but if you are still reading OP I hope you are getting the support you deserve.

Robin2323 · 14/03/2019 23:08

And she drips with sarcasm.
Says it all really.
And yes I am very well like in real life.
I just won't let people like you push me around any longer.
Just a bully.
