Thai massage stag do trip

Hello all
so my OH just retuned from a Portuguese stag do weekend . I was worried in the usual sense - too much booze sun etc but he is a very trustworthy man ( I hope I think ) However 10 mins of his return back to uk he told me how after a 10 hour day drinking sesh he ended up having a Thai massage ( legs only in his boxer shorts ) I was abit taken aback really as think massage parlour happy ending etc . I didn’t really push anymore details but then spent ages with wild thoughts In my head - why was he so quick to say it ? Maybe scared I’d hear he went somewhere like that from someone else ? Why go drunk when I know he can’t remember what he does sometimes in that state ? Plus he looked a wee but sheepish .
i don’t want this to be a huge issue ( he goes away loads on lads trips and I’ve worked so hard on my anxiety / insecurity and trust issue from past ) but also don’t want this to eat away at me
any similar experiences or what I could do - I don’t want any details pics of the weekend as don’t want to feel like the noisy partner

Agreed.

It could have just been a bloody massage 🤪 I dunno something like this wouldn’t bother me at all.

Seekingsue · 16/06/2025 17:59

I’m hoping it was just a real Thai massage place and that they all aren’t then places ?

Thai massage is just a style of massage. I wouldn't assume anything untoward unless you have another reason to.

PinedApple · 16/06/2025 17:59

Thai massage is a legit type of massage that isn’t dodgy to be fair although obvs can’t say that’s what happened here but it is a thing. Maybe he just felt a bit awkward about it.

Wouldn't bother me either

Thai massage is a legitimate form of massage but I don't many of these innocent massages happen at night after 10 hours of drinking.

RowsOfFlowers · 16/06/2025 18:05

I think what concerns me is the fact he’s had a Thai massage after a 10 hour drinking session………. Like who does that?

Stag do with a group of "lads", miles from home in the sun, lashings of booze, late nights, clubbing - oh and a massage. Of course it was designed to tone his muscles and give him inner peace. How could anyone not believe that.

Exactly.

You've got to burn through the best part of a grand on one of these stag dos. It's wrong on all levels: not just the massage.

Charliebear322 · 16/06/2025 18:26

Demand he gives you the receipt for the place and that he gets tested for STDs before you will sleep with him again

TheyFuckYouUpYourMamAndDad · 16/06/2025 18:30

He was ‘quick to tell you’ HIS version of events. This ‘version’ is the watered down version…I guarantee much more than
‘legs under shorts’ was massaged!

CharlotteLightandDark · 16/06/2025 18:32

Thai massage is brutal at the best of times, after drinking all day it would be deeply unpleasant!

ask him to explain what happened in it, it’s not like a normal massage and usually done in clothes. Although he’s obviously lying/being evasive so not sure what point there is trying to catch him out really

Sandy420 · 16/06/2025 18:47

They massaged him in his boxer shorts? Normally you stay clothed or they give you loose bottoms to put on don't they? I've never had a Thai massage in my knickers.

AhTheFuckening · 16/06/2025 18:55

I vote to ask him.

DontEvenBother · 16/06/2025 19:03

He's alleviating his guilt by fessing up to the 'massage'.

He's kidding himself that's all it was - an innocent massage - because coming clean with the WHOLE truth would be devastating and (quite rightly!) relationship-ending.

A genuine non sexual massage in a foreign country on a lads holiday after a 10 hour drinking session? 🙄 I'm with @ginasevern in the cynicism.

How many people reading this have ever gone for an actual Thai massage after a full-on drinking session? Has it ever crossed your mind, OP? It certainly hasn't crossed mine.

DH and I spent some time in Thailand when we were younger. I used to get a Thai massage everyday. They are not sexual in anyway shape or form.
Ask your partner if it was a sexual massage or a traditional Thaimassage.

ShellieAnn · 16/06/2025 19:07

Gross. I realise how thankful I am for the husband I've got when I see that other women's husbands do things like this.

Cos100 · 16/06/2025 19:47

I must be missing something because I'm not sure what some of these comments are about. Surely op can't assume anything bad happened based on... nothing? There's no evidence at all. I do find it strange going for a massage after a 10 hour drinking sesh. Could you maybe have a 'casual' chat with one of his friends and see if they reveal anything? It really could have just been a massage.

Buttcraic · 16/06/2025 19:50

10hrs drinking with the ladz and then you get your LEGS massaged? Yeah right.

Belladog1 · 16/06/2025 19:52

Say he started drinking at midday, do many legit massage parlours stay open until 10pm and beyond?

Sorry, I'd be feeling very suss.
