Anonymous wrote:Paid my way through college as a bartender in a strip club (I am not a stripper). Your husband is lying, never ever in the 6 years I worked there did I ever see a man get a hickey. Your husband had a one night stand and cheated on you, this is the best story he could come up with. Unless you are missing $5000 from your bank account, he is a liar. Are you really this gullible? Go to the club and ask if you need to but really use your brain and you'll know that strippers don't give hickeys... EVER. Girls walked out of there every night making $1000 and not ONE of them gave a hickey!!

Agree. If the friend had really taken him home "to pass out," you would have gotten a phone call to let you know he was okay. This was a cover story made up after the fact.
Anonymous wrote:OP here. Let's move beyond whether he had an affair or not. I do not believe he did anything more than make out with a random stripper. He's never shown any signs of cheating before so I do think this is a one time thing. It's an incredibly stupid thong and I am not dimishing that. It's still cheating. He admits that there was making out involved with the stripper and he and his friends were buying her drinks. I do believe that he blacked out as he does do this when he drinks a lot. Another indication that he needs to stop drinking.
Now I wonder what to do next. I will give him the benefit of the doubt when he says he wants to be a better man and husband and doesn't want this to happen again. He is a good guy but he did an incredibly stupid thing and I just need to figure out how to move beyond it. How not to look at him and imagine him making out with another woman. How to look at happy families and feel resentment at my husband because i have to fake being happy and trusting with him out in public because of his complete stupidity.

Well, each his own. Getting blind drunk is fine if you're 17, 18, but if you are a grown man? Sounds like a red flag to me.
