My boyfriend and I have been going out for several months now. We're both in college. He recently told me that he went to a strip club for a friend's birthday this summer (before we started going out). For some reason though, this REALLY bothers me, even thought it was before we started dating.
For one thing I guess it made me feel really insecure about my body.. I mean.. if he's been around a bunch of beautiful naked women (it was a really famous strip club) why would he want me? I'm afraid of being constantly compared with them, even though I know I'm not bad looking. He even got a naked lap dance (in his words: "she had her shoes on"). And in that particular club I know you're allowed to touch (I don't know if he did and I'm afraid to ask). He even told me she took his shirt off and kissed him (sounding pretty pleased about it too). I don't know what to think and I KNOW I shouldn't be this bothered by it, it was before we started going out!! But for some reason I can't stop thinking about it. I know pretty much all men go at one point and all that but this just won't go away. I keep thinking of him surrounded by naked women and I just get this sick feeling in my stomach. I have tried talking with him about it but it just led to a fight since he (rightly) sees nothing wrong with it. After all, we weren't even dating at the time. Help!! How do I deal?? (please nothing like "just get over it" I've tried that) How should I think about this to make it bother me less? |

I almost know the same thing you're going through. My boyfriend told me over the summer that last summer (of 06) he'd gotten together with some girl (when we weren't dating) and did things that he now regrets. It makes me feel insecure practically all the time (she was really pretty). Whenever I think about it I start to feel physically sick. The only thing you can do is let him know how you feel about it and (if he talks about it often), ask him to stop bringing it up because it makes you feel uncomfortable. It's really the only thing you can do, unfortunately. =/
