h2b doesn't want a stag. Is that weird?

eeyoring, 24 March, 2012 at 23:03 Posted on Planning 0 18

My man is not bothered about a stag night. He asked what the point was. I'm havin a hen do and i feel a bit bad going off with the girls if he's not going to get his own night. I think its cos his life long friends he doesn't see so often now as they have bad habits he's turned his back on. I think i should feel relieved and i do a bit but i also feel bad for him. Has anyone else had a man who didn't have a stag?

    Mine isn't having one. He can't be fussed with it and doesn't see the point.

    To be fair I had my hen do this week, me, on my own at a spa. It was wonderful!

    We just aren't staggy, henny people. It's probably more common than we think.

    My OH said he wasn't bothered about having a stag night either, I think mainly because he isn't really a drinker whilst a lot of is friends are, I've suggested he does a quad biking or rally day so that avoids drinking to much and he seemed to like the idea.

    Thats a good idea. Maybe I will suggest that. Do be honest as we both work away from home and his parents are over from living abroad I think he's looking forward to just doing normal family being at home type relaxing things for a day or two!

    We've got ages so i don't know if this will change but my OH has said he doesn't want a stag and if he does have one it will consist of him and his 2 brothers with a take away and the Xbox..... I think there's probably quite a lot of people who shun the normal "loud, lairy lads weekend" option (and secretly i'm quite pleased ?)

    My H2B isn't bothered either but I would like him to do something, not necessarily a traditional stag do but a day with his best man somewhere would be nice, I suggested they go see a test cricket match or something, he seemed keen but is yet to mention it to best man so I don't know.

    Mine isn't really too bothered either, I keep encouraging him to go somewhere for a weekend but he just doesn't seem fussed. I am going off into town and having a hotel room but paying for it out of my own money, not the wedding budget, so I don't feel bad, it is our own choices what we do or don't do. Don't worry about it.

    My OH isn't a big lairy lads night out kind of person either, you should both just do what makes you happy. No point him having a stag if he doesn't want one.

    My OH doesn't drink and isn't a partier so he doesn't want a Stag do either. I've suggested paintball and then back to ours for takeaway and xbox games with his friends and to be honest he's not too fussed about that either. Knowing him I think it will end up just being the takeaway and xbox but I don't feel too guilty about my hen being over a weekend (but still cheap, just going out where I grew up) as I know he'll love a weekend with me away so he can play even more xbox!

    We aren't bothering with a stag/hen - it's just not us. We're boring now! ?

    As our wedding is abroad we're thinking about treating our guests to a meal out the night before the wedding, which will kind of act as a low-key 'hag' do for both of us.

    My h2b didnt want one as his mates think its funny to make him drink 5 diff shots in one glass until he is sick...and you know we arent in our 20s anymore...he is 37 and spent all of his 20s doing stuff like that....anyway but i kinda persuaded him into it as i felt bad for having 4!

    He is just going out for a curry and comedy club night locally....he really wasnt fussed tho but im sure he will enjoy when he gets there....

    Mine isn't having a traditional stag do. He is renting a "camping barn" (stone shed with fireplace) for the weekend with some friends, in the Lake District. Plans appear to be hillwalking and maybe some climbing / kayaking, and low key drinks in a nearby country pub in the evening. In other words, pretty much the same sort of weekend as he and I usually have, except it's lads only. I can't see any shenanigans going on, not that I'd mind.

    Mine doesn't want one either. He is from Australia and has a made a few friends at the golf club but they are heavy drinkers and he isn't so a night out wouldn't be fun for him. He is going for dinner night before the wedding with all of his overseas family and friends when they arrive which he will enjoy more.

    We're not bothered either. I wasn't going to have a hen do but have been hagged. We decided we wanted to then compromise and have a joint, chilled out, camping do which we are happy with but it's causing a few comments from others who don't seem so happy - though I'm thinking if they are that bothered they can have the big p*** up night for their ones!

    I don't want a stag do at all. Even if I did, there would only be my brother and myself anyway. He lives over 3 hours drive away and has his own family to look after. I've not told him or my other half yet that I don't want one as I don't want them to feel sorry for me for having nobody. Same as the wedding itself, I'm kinda dreading it as she has loads of friends and family compared to just 8 people on my side (all family) that will be there.
