It's the same for girls. They want to have a night out with other girls because going out always with your partner could become a monotony, right?
Marraige friendly GNOs are essential. But does going out with friends mean going out clubbing? Do the friends have to be members of the opposite sex?
Why not select more marriage friendly activities? This seems like single stuff to me.

I don't see it as something healthy for this relationship/engagement.
The guy is 34 and she's 24.

Hitting the club to dance with your friends is okay. IMHO.
You are suggesting you hit the club with guy friends? Along with other folks, single and married. Only dance with guys you have a bond with already? LOL. WOW. Right. Just friends. I get it. The guy your hubby should be most concerned about is not the random guy. He should worry more about the guy at the club with you who is doing the c0ckblocking. The guy who is protecting you. That is the guy who is a bigger long term threat to him and his marriage. The other guy the wife trusts.
Multiple threads going on now about opposite sex friends and what the boundaries should be. Yes it varies but I think it is worth examining the risks involved. Good stuff. Real stuff.

I wonder when this guy will settle down ...
If he's 34 and still doing this while engaged to someone, it's not likely to stop anytime soon.
And by your calculations, they started going together when she was 16...and he was 26. That is creepy.
Re: at the club, dancing with a random opposite sex.
I don't know why someone who is already in a relationship feels the need to hit on other people !!!!
No matter where you are, if you're clubbing or not ... why you feel the need to hit on people of the opposite sex ???
That's what I don't understand about people who are excessively flirty and start hitting on someone else who is not his/her partner.
Isn't their partner enough for them??

They do it becasue they want to and they don't respect their relationship/partner.

My guess is he will feel a lot differently than you do.
As long as the dancing is innocent, not close my guy-friend, no romantic music on the background, no flirty signs and no touching with that guy then I don't see why he wouldn't be okay with that.

Like I said, when you are married/partnered, tell your guy that and see what he says.
You may feel one way, but that doesn't guarantee your partner will.

Also if you find a good man and start dating, he most likely will not
put up with you if you continued going clubbing with the girls.
He would move on.Because he would feel your not ready for a steady serious long term relationship.
You're totally right. I agree with you. I wouldn't want my partner to go out clubbing because I'm not the type to go out clubbing with my girls all the time.
I'd be more than happy to go clubbing with him though.

Do you think your partner would like it if they came there by chance and saw you dancing with that random guy/girl?
If you were the partner, would you mind it if your SO did that?
**********************************
Personally I would mind it.
If my SO is out with friends then he can dance with his friends.
I would get jealous to see him dance with a random girl.
Obviously, it matters on the type of dance that they are having. If they are too close to each other then I'd get mad.
Broke up with my ex over that. We were out at her college where I knew no one at the party and she began grinding crotch to crotch with some dude, RIGHT in front of me. For a lonnnnnnnnnngggg time. To the point her friends were looking at me like "dude why are u allowing this?" and meanwhile since I knew no one I was dancing alone just looking at her....
So i walked out..
She followed me angrily and told me i was a 1950s pig. Turns out the guy was gay. How was I to know? Does being gay still mean she can jump on his crotch while Im left alone? Idk.
I used to be ok with her and my other gfs going out, that has soured my experience for life now.

What a b!tch she was!!!!! Just because he was gay this was not an excuse and she treated you like you weren't there!!!!
So disrespectful!!!
Given that she started behaving like that in front of you, imagine what she might have done with other dudes if you hadn't been there!!
