    Well good for you that locking yourselves in your house 24/7 so you dont cheat on each other works for you.  But thats not normal.  Sorry.

    Well, I think if you go to the point of cheating while spending a healthy amount of time away from each other, there are some issues in your relationship.

    But I'm probably biased, because I think relationships where people never spend any time apart or with their separate friends seem awfully unhealthy to me.  However, I recognize this is my personal bias.

    Who says we lock ourselves in the house 24/7?

    We actually spend 4 nghts a week apart due to his job. I work crazy long hours. We share hobbies, we do things together. I spend time with my girl friends when he's out of town, we have couples friends, he has some guy friends. We are each other's best friends and spend time together whenever possible. Sometimes I go on the road with him and we live in a hotel room for a few weeks, it's wonderful.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Need advice please :( : If they had multiple conversations and both agreed that X and Y were not acceptable, I don't think it's fair to say she gave him a set of rules. If he had been on his way out the door and she screamed " no booze, pot or dancing. loveyoubye." i'd feel differently.

    I guess its a UO then.  I would not take kindly to my H telling me how to behave and I would never mother him and tell him how to behave.  Everyone is an adult here and stuff like "dont bang someone" should be a given.  Even the thought of a sit down (or multiple ones) to go over what is "acceptable" is obnoxious to me.  Im 33 years old.  I dont need to be told how to behave.

    If you H getting drunk or smoking a joint or dancing with a girl upsets you to the point where you cant trust him anymore, then you have issues.

    I think if you went down the cheating road because you had girls nights, friends of the opposite sex, and spent some time apart than not doing those things I just putting a bandaid over something else. Just my opinion though.

  • But I also wonder if he half heartedly agreed to not so those things for your sake op. Or if they were actually important to him, kwim? I get why you are upset, I find taking a couple days to cool off helps me think a lot more rationally. Also, I absolutely think of b parties as doing things you normally wouldn't. It is a special occasion. I don't mean cheating of course but celebrating more than usual, yes.

    It is a personal bias, but it works for us. I spend time with him because I am madly in love with him and enjoy every minute we share, whatever we're doing.

    [QUOTE]I didn't see it as her laying out rules.  I read it as they talked about it together, for BOTH of their parties, and that's what they decided on. And I also think, regardless of how anyone else would feel in the situation, regardless of if you (general you now) think OP is being ridiculous, she was obviously bothered by it, and now she has to figure out if she can get over it or not. Nebb, I wouldn't just take a joint offered to me.  I don't give a damn if it's good manners or not, and I think it's silly to suggest it would be rude of me to decline a drug.
    Posted by J&K10910[/QUOTE]

    All of this.

    I'm not saying that smoking a joint is some kind of universally wrong thing, but I don't like it and it would be COMPLETELY out of character for FI now (even though he smoked as a teen).  And grinding on girls in a club would be completely out of character as well.  If FI came home and said he did that, I'd be like Who the eff are you and where is my fiance?  Drunk or not... it doesn't matter.  Getting drunk doesn't make you do things that are not already in your potential. 

    Also, to me, grinding =/= dancing.  Maybe I'm not understanding what this guy did, but to me, you can dance with girls without dry humping them on the dance floor, although I do understand for some people this may be their understanding of "dancing". 

    Nothing is necessarily a "deal breaker" for me, but I might consider counseling over this, and I do see it as a trust issue.

    This is very similar to how I feel.  The things he did that night are very out of character from the fiance I have known for years.  It makes me question him.  I do think we will try counseling.

    I mean, none of this stuff would have upset me, but I can see why OP is upset.  I see where she is coming from.

    Ha, well certainly if that's how she words it ;)

    But to me, it has little to do with the joint (or the "grinding"), and everything to do with him going against what they agreed on.  And I can get behind that.

  • He smoked weed for a little while in college before we met.  He has always claimed to have no interest in smoking again, even while partying.  Again, I don't think smoking weed is a horrible thing but it was something really out of character (for the man he is now).  We are both in our upper twenties.

  • That's all well and good Blue, but imagine you two had discussed beforehand that a certain thing made you both uncomfortable and he went out and did it anyway.  Even something non bachelor related.  Wouldn't you be pissed if you agreed on something and then he broke your trust?  That's what OP is upset about.  I think she would be more okay with all of this if they hadn't discussed from the beginning that neither of them was okay with the behavior.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Need advice please :( : I cant imagine that because its stupid.  It would be incredible exhausting to live life like that where you had to fvcking dissect and discuss every single time you went out without each other.

    you either trust eachother or you dont. You shouldnt NEED to have discussions about stuff like that. Setting rules is just lame.

    Exactly.  If you have to talk about it, you dont trust that he knows how to behave.

  • I wouldn't have a specific sit-down discussion with FI about these kinds of things because we already see eye to eye on what is acceptable.

    So I understand what Blue and others are saying about it being weird to have a specific conversation before one or the other goes out.

    At the same time, however, I don't see it as an insecurity/trust issue.  I trust FI completely.  I don't feel the need to have these conversations with him.  But if he were to come home and tell me something like that, I would be very upset because it would be in violation of values we both share. 

    And the counseling this is not because someone needs counseling to get over smoking a joint.  But to me, if FI smoked a joint or grinded on some girl, it would tell me that he was having some kind of change of beliefs or personality, or something was up with him.  It would be the same if I found out he stole $10 or punched somebody.  In the grand scheme of things, it's not a catastrophic event, but it would just make me think that maybe something else was going on inside that led to the change in behavior.

  • Wow, I've read all the responses and am suprised that no one else has mentioned that he didn't tell you about dancing with the girls until a day after the weed.  That makes me think that in another day it's going to be another admittance! ...or something more serious.

    I wouldn't leave him... but I'd definitely make him think I was thinking about it so that he understood the severity.  That may be mean, but that's me ;D  Skulk around, glare at him, refuse sex and when he's adequately apologized get back to normal.  Let him know he hurt you and then move on. 

    And no, you don't get to do the same thing at your bachelorette party!  You get to be the better person!
