A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm 21, my b/f's 27.

I was told that my boyfriend spent £4,000 on going to see a male stripper called "Rogue"... and on going to see male strippers in general!

I confronted him about it - but he said I should "take a chill pill" - and said "don't be so f***ing silly, girl!"

He said he isn't gay, and there's nothing wrong with it!! he also said it's just a bit of fun.... but i dont feel that way!

btw he does spend money exorbitantly - he spent $500 on a huge birthday cake for my 21st!

Don't things like this damage peoples relationships?

how should I deal with this??

Royofthe Rovers agony auntHis answers are all very defensive, maybe showing his inability to come to terms with what he doing..You need to explain to him how it look on your side of the fence and how this is affecting the relationship for you.

To spend that amount of money on a male stripper shows the level of interest he is willing to put into this fantasy/idea. if he is gay, than he needs to be honest to you about it and stop hiding within the relationship and using it as a mask.

It sounds like he is using the money to buy his way out of things. That is not going to last. Confront him about this and if he gets abusive again without being truthful to your questions I would question where you stand in the relationship.

loretta agony auntI think u need to av serious talks wit ur fella coz am not being funny but i reckon if i was in ur shoes i wud feel the same as u r feeling!!! u need to ask the both ov u, 'is this relationship goin any were?' if u really think that he is gay u need to sit him down n explain why u feel this way. some guys try hiding it from the world coz they feel ashamed n most men do it by hiding in a relationship. Maybe his not gay, maybe his just exploring different things, but even so, he should talk to you. he should'nt feel like he has to buy u, talk to him bout it, money carn't buy love!!! good luck x x x
