my mans single friends are going to vegas and asked him to go. i told him that i wasnt comfortable with him going with all his single buddies, because they want to go to strip clubs, clubs and party. we are both christian and i dont think thats where a man in a relationship needs to be... he says that he wants to go and i just need to trust him. this is where the problem lies, outta respect, i think he should listen to my feelings about this, it will put a damper in our relationship if he decides to go against my wishes... if it were switched and he didnt want me to go, i wouldnt... what do yu guys think? we have been together two years.
i trust him, i dont trust the evil , drunk scandelous woman that go to vegas to pry on me for the weekend... he knows im not comfortable with it and i just feel like he should respect my feelings, why would he want to go with friends that arent even close to him, just guys he went to high school with... im the one who loves him and have been there for him continuyally.
yeA, i know..... me too...

So his single buddies haven't found their significant others yet? And dragging the relationship buddy along with them? Sounds like a movie. I can't recall which film....oh yeah, the one with Christian Slater and Cameron Diaz in it. They all go off to Vegas and something terrible happens.
I THINK HE SHOULD DUMP HER AN HOOK UP WITH SOME VAGUS WHORES.
Just because they asked him to go, it doesn't mean he has to. They are obviously single and wanting to party with the ladies. What is he going to do? He isn't single. If he goes, he is asking for trouble.
lol yeah but that's why the boys are going, what is he going to do while they are getting it on??

I'd basically do the best I can to re-enact every single Ocean's Eleven film and the sequel. The music would be playing in my head, and I'd probably even buy the official soundtrack to annoy everyone in the road trip over there so that it's in their heads to. And buy some nice suits. That's me sorted, whether single or in a relationship.


So you are telling me that when the super hottie with the DD boobs, the sexy dress that reveals quite a lot, the bum that looks like the best porn you ever watched... and you after couple of drinks .. she comes and rubs herself on your nice suit and whispers on your ear that you can take her in any position you like... when NOONE can find out about that... or even worse when your single buddies are around and watch and won't say anything..
You are just going to turn around and say... SORRY SWEETY!! I CAN'T DO YOU!! I am soooooooo taken!

Hahaha, in fairness I've yet to actually go to a strip club. So I can't speak from experience. Although my rapsheet when it comes to sexcapades... it's surprising it doesn't have strip club on there.

But I think you're kind of being patronizing to strippers at the same time. They're professionals. You have to ask yourself why would a stripper ever say that to me? I'm just part of her day job. I think if both sides are going to go to the sex circuit it's important to know the only way you're going to enjoy yourself is by not assuming anything other than what's clear stated. In most strip clubs the rules are pretty clear "look but don't touch".
If the OP is not comfortable or fearful of her man putting himself in a situation where he's been visually stimulated, sure, I agree she should be able to voice her feelings with him and have them heard. He should pay her that respect...

.....but it's still Vegas. And you don't want to be the reason your husband couldn't hang out in Vegas with the boys.



FOR MONEY, that is why a stripper says those things....

Famous last words!
He did ask you to trust him so trust him! He'll probably be found on the rooftop somewhere after the partying stops.

@tiziani...
We both know that in Vegas there are not only the strippers that are hot. There are also lots of hot women that they are looking for something casual.
It is no coincidence that the biggest pick up artists started experimenting in Vegas .. including Mystery and Neil Strauss Winking
I have read lots of stories .. because I used to be into pua. I was studying it because I wanted to be an fpua.
I personally wouldn't mind any of my partners being visually stimulated. I wouldn't even mind going to a strip club with him and we would both watch women stripping.
But I wouldn't trust him to go on his own to Vegas with his mates ( single or not). Especially if he was my husband.
The temptation is great.
Only the fact that it crossed his mind that this was acceptable it would be an indicator for me that he just doesn't want to have eyes for me anymore.
I just wouldn't want to be one more of those statistics of marriages that one or two partners cheat.




Love this
Anyway why would he want to go to VEGAS with a bunch of single guys to watch stoppers?? Sounds immature. He can go wherever he wants, that's not the point, but his choices would make me wonder.
strippers lol

He'll be the ridicule of his friends and peers if you don't let him go, lll.smile


If SHE won't let him go .. YES.
But it can be HIM realizing that if he goes then he makes his wife feeling uncomfortable.

This is very much like filling in gaps that lead to over-complicating what's actually happening. From the OP it feels like she wants him to go but wants him NOT to go out of respect it's like "hey I want this but I don't want to feel guilty afterwards okay?"
If he even took that notion on board can you imagine how hard it is to please her? What if his mates are doing the same to him? "Hey dude, we really want you to come but maybe you should stay with your wife?"
Ultimately no matter which choice he makes someone's going to be hurt.
Let me know tizi. I've actually never been in a strip joint before. But I'd imagine there'd be poles, women with very few items of clothing on!
But hey I goto life drawing all the time with poles and such I figure it's just the same thing without all the limerence.
HAHA I love that movie tizi! I love when he gets all smart and talks about these profound things he learnt from wanting to make fun of them Tongue
But there's a line in that clip "He's just my dance partner!" that sort of applies to my point which is: It's simple to think about the negatives. Often a form of insecurity by asking for respect and big roundabout ways of finding that respect rather than being blunt about it.
if i had a man, id respect him if he asked me NOT to do something. goes both ways. i dont kind if he goes to the strip club. have at it. but if i did mind, id expect him to respect my wish.
on another note, i havent gone through the thread, but a dude/dudette is going to cheat anywhere...work, gym, vegas, etc.
wow, this thread took off... i can honestly say you all made great points... i never told him that he couldnt go, all i said was that i was not comfortable... so anyway, i asked him last night if he was going and he said.... We'll see what happens.... so its still 6 weeks away, if you guys are interestd. i will post back then... Thank you all so much...
out of curiosity , what sign is moodyvulcan and biker chick
I am way late to the party and only read the first page or so. The thing that screamed at me in the OP was the double standard. The thread is titled "Respect" and the post says he should respect her feelings (regardless of his own) and not go... why don't she respect his feelings and take her own advice? If he doesn't do exactly what you say, he doesn't respect you?!?! Get over yourself.
He should absolutely take your feelings into consideration but he is his own person too. If you respect him then act like his girlfriend and not his mother. Let him know how you feel but don't try and tell him how he feels or if he respects you or not. If my highschool buddies called me and invited me to Vegas, i'd want to go. If I was in a relationship, I would respect it because of who I am. Traveling to "Sin City" isn't going to suddenly change who he is.
this is the types of relationships where the couple need to be single. Or they are freedom lover types of couples. Eww.
