Well Romeo he had a history pre-marriage (back when he was in college but I didn't know until I found credit card statements when we were merging households after getting married)...he ran up $1500 in phone sex bills over 18-24 months. He also frequented the strippers. Not sure why he thinks he has to buy it since he has also had 2 ows that I know of that were not paid to be there...
However with his tendency to want to dominate and be in a power position I think he may like paying them so they are 'his' to do what he wants for him. Ick. But I am no armchair psychologist.
Off to my parents' for the regatta gala--one of my favorite Friends references. (It's a regatta, a gala. A gala at the regatta. It's a regatta gala.)
