I think he's hilarious. And completely full of it.
Unless he's tossing 100s up on stage all night, there's no way in hell he spent that much money at a strip joint without getting something extra on the side. Drinks are expensive, but not that expensive. Cover charges are comparable to any other club. Some strip clubs have food but nobody eats that stuff unless they are insane or completely wasted. All that together doesn't come anywhere near "thousands of dollars." But VIP rooms do, especially if the stripper is skilled at stringing a guy along and getting him to re-up the room every half hour in hopes that he might get lucky, which he won't. Cha-CHING!
I don't know if your issue is the money or what might be going on in the VIP rooms or both, so I will just answer the question you asked: I don't think he is telling you the truth about how he spent those thousands of dollars.
I could be wrong, of course. But I'm not.
Thanks for the question.
For me it wouldn't be about the strippers. It would be about the money. There is no way I could ever be married to someone who spent that amount of money on something so frivolous. As soon as I found out, divorce papers would be served. Fuck that.
Wow, I see a couple things wrong here.
1) If he's spending a lot of time at strips clubs, that would indicate there's an underlying problem. Either with intimacy in your relationship, or his addiction to the clubs.
2) He's wasting money that could better serve your family.
3) He sounds self-centered and uncaring towards your feelings.
4) Doubt he's being honest with you, which raises more questions and concerns.
That's just my take on it.
I couldn't even imagine my partner going to those kinds of places. (x_x)
Casino yes strip club no which makes me think how do you know he is spending this money at a strip club and not just using it as a cover for something else more dodgy
