Would you let your hubby go on a Bangkok trip with guy friends for 3D2N?

I will not. And thankfully, my hubby will not. Many years back, before kids and just before we got married, his friends organised an all-guys BKK bachelors' trip for him. I know my husband well and I let him go ahead. The very first night, he called me and shared with me that almost all his friends brought a thai girl back to the hotel, even those that were in committed relationships. He was very shocked, and I was clearly very upset but he reassured me that he's not interested especially when our wedding was a couple of months away. The subsequent nights, every single one of his friends had their "sexcapades" and because some were attached, they pressured my hubby into doing the same, saying he wasn't a brother if he didn't. The peer pressure is real for all-guys trips. My hubby told me, that trip made him very disappointed in his long-time friends and he swore to me he wouldn't go on an all-guys trip again. They did eventually go for an mountain climbing trip but seeing how some of them couldn't even summit the peak, I'm sure they had no energy to look for "specials" there. They were limping back. But having this sharing from my own hubby, I am 100% suspicious of all-guy BKK trips, and my hubby being a guy, thinks the same as well. He just tells me straight, there is no other reason why guys would have an all-guys trip to BKK. Or similar Asia destinations. Just note, we set our own boundaries, what is acceptable and what is not. It's not so much a matter of "want to play, SG also can" but more of, the peer pressure that guys can place on each other, and of course, there is power in groups and some guys may think it's ok since everyone else is doing it. "Look, he's also married with 2 kids, it's just one-time, nobody will know.." and it can literally become emotional blackmail like what my hubby experienced, "we all do already, left you, you not brother like that.." I suppose it's a matter of, whether your hubby can handle such escalations? I believe there are many ways to destress and having me-time. All-guys trips are a no-no for us. Just my 2c.

You sound very offended and I wonder why? Firstly, his friends were in committed relationships but not married. Secondly, even if they are, there ought to be no secrets between a husband snd wife. Thirdly, why would his friends relationships be at risk? I never told any of the ex-gfs (yes all are exes by now) about their misdeeds and that's the level of trust betweenmy hubby and I, that we confide in each other and nothing gets out. I'm so glad I married my hubby cos we're still so in love and we absolutely hide nothing from each other. I don't know you but based on your reply, I'm glad I didn't marry a guy like you and I honestly pity the lady that marries you. Cos you would rather keep secrets from your spouse or you can't trust your spouse enough to share secrets like that. All the best to you.
