That's difficult to say, it all depends what type of relationship you have with your boyfriend. If it's a relationship that isn't that serious or just recently started you might be able to get away with it. But if it's a stable relationship and you have been with that person for a period of time, I personally don't think it's appropriate and he might find it a bit strange that you are asking him not to go and might even start questioning why is it that you don't want him going. That's just my opinion, I personally have never been in that situation, I have never been the type to go clubbing and/or bars, is not that I have anything against them, is just I get clastophobic and the few times I went with friends, I ended up feeling bad and even almost fainting, because they have been so crowded. since then I just stay away from them. I can't stand being in crowded places. LOL!!!

Of course it's possible. YOu can just say it right? But he could also just nod his head but then would still be doing the same thing. I never disallowed my hobby to stop bar hopping. Nor have i stopped him from doing that even before our marriage. If you think the boyfriend is fooling around, then just leave and find another one. Why waste time when you can find someone who's much better?

Yes, but you should expect him to ask you to stop shopping for clothes. Why on earth would you want to stop him doing something he enjoys, assuming it does you no harm?

In my opinion, letting your boyfriend barhop and his intention for barhopping means there is something wrong with the relationship. I'm a guy myself, and if I go barhopping while I'm in a relationship... it means that I'm looking for some fresh air!.. or something new with my life - hoping for something exciting to come up. But then, ofcourse If I'm all content with the relationship... it's okay for me to stay put for a while and just focus on the girl I love.

Hi Grace, Yes it's possible and why your boyfriend would go bar hopping without you? He's not single anyway and maybe your boyfriend should also ask you to with him. If he's going to bar without you then you should tell him to slow down and rather go with you or take you to the bar and meet his friends. My hubby would never go to bar without me even when we're bfgf, I always tell him that I love it but I also want him to go bar with his friends once in a while but my hubby refuse instead he told me he will always take me and your boyfriend should be like that too.

well you could try but it's whether he listens or not, i would never tell my boyfriend not to do that because he'd laugh and go anyway, but i don't have a boyfriend any more and even when we were together i never tried to stop him, i don't have the rights to tell him not to go to a bar, it's his choice, not mine.

What is the reason you want him to stop? Does he get drunk and come home like that? Does he flirt with other women? Does he get nasty? This is a hard question to answer unless you have good reason to ask it. If he's just going out for a few but still coming home, then I wouldn't ask him. It all depends on the circumstances involving this.

Of course it is possible! If you think he go there often, you can tell him to slow down. I asked my husband to stop going to the bars with his friends and he agreed with it.

There's no problem letting him go and have fun every once in a while. But if he goes out a lot and go home drunk all the time then that's unacceptable. If he loves you he should consider your feelings.
