  1. Hahahahaha How the heck does that happen... resurfacing threads? I'm only making it worse by replying again. LOL!
  2. I was trying to state some less obvious possibilities... Undoubtedly, yes, he could be afraid of her seeing how he *really* is at a strip joint.
  3. He might feel embarrassed if she goes with him. Maybe he's worried that his friends will think that his wife is a nag, or maybe he just feels uncomfortable with his wife watching him ogle over other women! I am not saying that these reasons are justifiable (I am taking steps to keep my opinions of men going to strip clubs OUT of this post)-- I'm only listing some possibilities as to why he doesn't want his wife to go with him. Either way, him telling her that he doesn't want her to go with him makes the situation even worse.
  4. What the strippers are wearing vary from place to place. You have the ones where the dancers are free to wear their birthday suits, and then you have the dancers who can only go topless. My best friend used to dance. And everyone else is right. The women will woo anyone, be they tall, short, fat, thin, ugly, hot, etc., if they know they'll get some cash out of the situation. But pay no mind to that. I'm not sure if the issue is whether strip joints are "ok" to go to. That's a very personal opinion. What I'd be more concerned about is the fact that your husband lied to you. I think this needs to be addressed first. He needs to understand that the male bonding doesn't always require the presense of strippers! Maybe you can suggest that he initiate a new/different thing for him and his guy friends to do? Bowling, golfing, sports bars, etc.?
  5. If you're not comfortable going to a gym, why not buy some of your own weight machines and stuff and do it in your house?
  6. If you're set on getting a college education - I have some advice for you: 1. Try a community college (2-yr. college), then transfer to a uni 2. Do a LOT of volunteer work (a man I know did more than 1,000 hours of volunteer work during high school, and attributes that to helping him get into college because his graes weren't so hot) 3. Don't write yourself off like that and think that it's too late to get serious about your grades (if you're still in H.S?)--- Even if you improve now, college application reviewers will take your improvement into consideration
  7. I can't really answer this question. You should google it. But one thing: DO NOT EVER SIT ON PUBLIC TOILET SEATS. I'm surprised that people actually do that.
  8. You mean, he doesn't kick him or punch him THAT YOU KNOW OF. Are you always around when your boyfriend is near the dog? Apparently not, if you caught him abusing your dog. I'd be afraid to leave the two of them together.
  9. I don't care how good a man is. If he ever touches my cat (or dog, if I had one), I'd leave him. No questions asked. #1: He IS abusing your dog. #2: He apparently has anger and self-control issues. #3: No offense, but he sounds like a major jerk (in more polite terms). I hope he doesn't beat his kid like this. I cannot believe you're actually questioning this situation. Try to avoid going into denial, please, for the sake of your poor dog.
  10. Wow, how racist was THAT comment? You thought that it was a cultural issue because you thought that he was acting like other white guys "would".... real nice
  11. Maybe it's not your life itself that's making you depressed -- maybe it's just a chemical imbalance. (On a different note, the fact that you were raped, no matter how long ago it was, can still weigh on your mind, even if you consciously think that it doesn't bother you anymore.)
  12. It is NOT a culture issue. I'm white, and have not known many white men who want their girlfriends to pay half for everything. Granted, there are men like that in *every* culture/race. But to my knowledge, it's not something that white men are known for. This man seems to be a tad ignorant. The comment you made about wanting your kids to be bright and him attributing your comment to your being Asian . . . what the f---!!!!!! WHO DOESN'T want their kids to be bright!? This man, lose him. He's at a different place in life than you are. He's insensitive. Honestly, it sounds like all he wants to do is have fun, since he's now a "free man" (divorce). But in the back of his mind, I'm sure, he still thinks about finding a woman to stick with during his later years in life. A woman, that is, who is closer in age, and who will be ready to sit home with him all day while he "retires." You seem to be very intelligent, and it seems that none of his behavior was a result of your own actions. You can do better.
  13. Lunch sounds like a good idea. But, don't just casually ask him to go to lunch, and then throw it at him while you're both there. If I were you, I'd just tell him "I was thinking that it'd be nice if we can grab lunch this week, I'd like to talk to you about something important." I hope you're paying . . . LOL kidding. Good luck, and congrats in advance.
  14. Being independent, especially these days, is SO important--- especially for women. God-forbid he walks out on you after you get married. Or what if you decide to leave him. Are you certain that he'll still want to include you in his business endeavors? Will you be able to still have a business partnership? A lot of issues may arise if this happens (unless you both legally own the business(es)). Not to sound like a pessimist, but you really need to be prepared for the worst. At least that's how I look at it. Over my dead body will I ever be dependent on my future husband in terms of money and career. Plus, it'll make me feel like a failure if I were to ever depend on him so heavily. No offense, but if my boyfriend or future husband had no goals, and tried to interfere or get involved with mine, it'd probably annoy me, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't really look up to him. In my eyes, it shows weakness of character. But then again, that's just me.
  15. Very cool sound. I like the vocalist. His voice is distinctive.
