Pankake said it perfectly. I am no one to judge either, but this is a very slippery slope when the partner has so many rules about this. My husband is a police officer-very much used to being in control, but he knows he can't control me if he wants to keep me! Even if he paid for my lessons, it would still be okay for me to pole. A pole is on my Xmas list-he doesn't care as long as it makes me happy!
