Yes many are going to find this really imature. But here goes...
Okay so my boyfriend is going to be 18 next year. His dad wants to get his a stripper for his 18th birthday. I absolutely hate it! I mean I've been with him for over two years, why does he need another girl nakes rubbing up on him. I know many guys do this, and I'm probably over exadgerating( i know i spelled that wrong =]) but honestly, I can't get over this. It bothers the hell out of me. Is there anything I can say to him that could change his mind. Or is there anything I can do to stop worrying about such a childish subject? PLEASE help me, cause I get more and more pissed everytime I think about this!
It's alright to be upset with something like this. He's your boyfriend of TWO years. If you're extremely uncomfortable with this, talk to him. If the relationship is worth something, which I'm assuming it is because it's lasted for two years, then he WILL listen and he should understand.
If he wants to do it, you can't really stop him. I'm almost positive it's just a rite of passage thing more than it is a "filling the void my girlfriend left". I'm sure he's completely satisfied with you and I'm sure he really cares about you. I think you owe it to him to at least have one night of fun, granted it doesn't go to far.
I'm taking the opposite stand from what I would normally say. I'm not sure why. But normally I would be really upset by this and completely support you. I guess that's what I get for answering a question at 11:48 pm! =O

You know parents, always making little jokes like that. Maybe there's nothing to worry about for now. However, if when his birthday comes closer and it seems like his dad isn't joking at all...
Tell him how you feel. If you've been with this guy for two years, he'll listen I'm sure. Let him know that it makes you uncomfortable to think of a stripper with him. It would make most girlfriends uncomfortable I'm sure.
If however, he doesn't listen to you and decides to go for it anyways...well just remember that you're the one he loves, not the stripper.
But once again, don't jump to any conclusions because maybe they were kidding (fingers crossed for luck).
And if you were thinking that you were the immature one for asking this question, think again because I think he's the immature one if he'd actually go through with this. You're right to feel uncomfortable, especially if they're serious. Also, if you come to find that they aren't serious at all...tell them how uncomfortable this little 'joke' makes you.
Response to feedback:
That is really sickening. Well, there's nothing you can do to change how his father acts. But you can do something about your boyfriend hopefully. =] [ xlovexx463's advice column | Ask xlovexx463 A Question ]
