Fiance working as bouncer in stripclub.Is it ok?

posted 27th Dec
Okay.
So.My Fiance's friend is trying to encourage him working in a strip club as a bouncer.
We have a baby on the way,and with little support from my fiance because he's in rehab,I'm struggling mentally,and emotionally,not to mention physically.
He says a job is a job,and no matter how many times I tell him that it's not okay,he's gonna do it so he has a job.
I have a strong moral code,and I don't believe it's right that any man with a woman at home,and a baby on the way should be doing it,and I feel that if he does take this job,I may as well leave him because what I say clearly does'nt matter.
This may be TMI,but our sex life is far from boring,even being 18 weeks,so that can't be an excuse.

Am I overreacting,or Should I speak up?

IMO, overreacting. I mean it's a job. He's probably not going to stand there watching the girls the whole time. It's money that's coming into your household. I'd let DH do a job like that. I see nothing wrong with it. That's just my opinion though.

& just remember, he's coming home to YOU at night....not a stripper

whats the pay? tht would be my thing.. if its good money then i wouldnt see the big deal, he is OUTSIDE mostlikey right? or by the door, not like he is on stage with the girls.

but i do see what your coming from.. my SO had to get a better job when we got pregnant with our first and he did. he wasnt a bouncer though, i wouldnt have liked it either...

It wouldn't bother me seeing as he would be outside most of the time and throwing people out the rest of the time.

The pay is under the table,and it's basically below what he would make working at McDonald's.He's basically doing it because he's on Probation,and has to get a job,except he has to get a verifiable one with pay stubs.

You're overreacting. He's not there as a patron he's there doing his job.

It's a job it's not like he's cheating on you  
Bouncers usually stay up front anyway. Sounds like you're overreacting he probably wants to bring money in the house for you and the baby.

He's never cheated,but he has left me in the beginning of this pregnancy,and he was absentee from our first pregnancy,which resulted in a loss because he becomes emotionally detached from time to time,and he's easily influenced by others.I wouldn't be too worried,had he not given me cause to worry.

Quoting Kathryn Booker:" The pay is under the table,and it's basically below what he would make working at McDonald's.He's basically ... [snip!] ... basically doing it because he's on Probation,and has to get a job,except he has to get a verifiable one with pay stubs."

I used to dance, most girls went after djs, not the bouncers... And it would completely depend on how he carries himself, bouncers have no reason to talk to dancers, they walk them in and out, thats all the interaction he should have... Djs its diff, we had to talk and work together

My mom was a stripper,and an alcoholic.
My fiance has an issue with alcohol and drugs,he's in recovery for a pill addiction.
He's very built,yet he's short,and he's a sweetheart,and he's respectful.
Plus,he gives off a flirty vibe,and he's nice to people.
I have a moral code,and I don't like it,at all.I would rather him work at mcdonalds.

The only thing that's making me say it's not ok is the fact that he's in rehab. A strip club is NOT the right place for a recovering addict/ alcoholic.

Meh, to be honest, I would not want my fiance to work at a strip club. I would try and help him to look for another job. But I mean if it's come to the point that he can't find anything then I mean a job is a job---he's there to make the money.

I really wouldn't care if that was my DH's job but then I don't have any trust issues with him whereas it sounds like you do. I just see it as a job and that's that. I mean he is going to be working as a bouncer, most likely on the door outside and is going to have very little interaction with anyone other than the people coming in and out the place so it's not like he is coming home telling you he wants to be an actual stripper or pornstar. You say your sex life is good so that can't be the reason...... The reason for what exactly? What is him getting a job as a bouncer got to do with your sex life? I don't see what connection you've made there

The only thing I'd be concerned about is the fact that he's in rehab and he would be working at a bar.....being exposed to that party kind of atmosphere while he's in recovery could present a big problem.

Now, if he didn't have the issue with being in recovery, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. My moral code would be more focused on the fact that he needs to support his family.
