Are you man enough for your woman?

[Empathy]

If your wife, or girlfriend wanted you to refrain from going to a bachelor party because there are strippers involved, would you be man enough to stand up to the organizer's and say you do not want to participate, because it would hurt the one you love? Should a tradition like that go on when it hurts others?

My husband has been to strip clubs with friends of his and I never had an issue with it. He joked about having a stripper for his bachelor party and I encouraged him to do it if it's what he wanted. For his party, his friends had taken him to a strip club where some chick snagged a dollar bill off of his body with her butt. I'm okay with it. I know that he wasn't there to touch her or to run away with any of the girls. I think people should do what is fun for them. My bachelorette party involved a day at the beach, my favorite restaurant, and then my favorite bar. We met guys and had a great time dancing and talking. If he ever gave me a reason to not trust him going out, then I would tell him that I didn't want him with strippers and I do believe he would tell his friends he won't go. I wouldn't expect him to say that "it's because my wife doesn't want me to go". I think you need to be open and honest in a relationship, don't hide your feelings. Many women will hide their feelings on this particular subject and will fight with their guy insisting that there's nothing wrong.

Hmmmm.. knowing my husband.. he would just not go if it upset me.. But he would more than likely not say anything to them. He would look at it as none of his business what kind of party they had.
If they ask WHY he wasn't attending.. I'm really not sure even then if he would say anything.

This is a western tradition and if you are western then blame yourself for lacking any of your own traditions and beliefs…In a traditional Greek or Hindu marriage there would be no time to go to strip joints because there are too many other traditional and familial obligations going on.

I think that western style weddings lack traditional rituals and are pretty shallow...But people need rituals so I suppose that’s why westerners invented stupid bachelor parties and hens nights...

Anyway…If I didn’t want my partner to go…he wouldn’t, but I’m not that needy or insecure to make a big deal about it…

Vegeee, it is not about women or men being needy or insecure, it is about respecting one another.

I would ask my guy not to go and I think he would know if he wanted a happy me and thus a happy him he would not go.  ("If mama's not happy...nobody's happy") I could see him not mentioning the stripping part to me...conveniently leaving out that detail so he would not have to listen to me...hmmm. Oh well.

I know that my husband wouldn't want to go in the first place. He is a bit of a germaphobe, and I doubt many of those establishments are up to his standards. However, fi they were attending a Dita Von Tease show in a reputable theater, he would go.
