Hi all - this is my first post here and I would like some opinions on this - take a poll if you will :-\

 

My husband is working a job that takes him away from home for months at a time. We live in a town where there is not much work, and it is common for the men to get jobs that require them to be away for periods of time if they want to make good money.

 

The long & short of it is that I met this woman at the gym that is trying to start up this club of women that real submission wrestle once a month for fun and exercise. Now I am a fit woman, and competitive, but this sounded crazy.

 

I went out to the next meeting to watch and not wrestle, and it looked like so much fun, that I said I might try it in the next meeting. The woman I met and her husband are so nice and said no pressure. The two other women in the club seemed very nice too. One of them recently left their husband and got a divorce, and is looking to get fit again. The other woman has a husband who is travelling for work too, and is looking for fun and exercise too.

 

The first woman told me if I wanted to try it with her alone, with just her husband watching, I could try that too. I didn't feel comfortable going alone, and asked if my sister could come. Anyway, a couple of weeks later my sister and I ended up over at their place and I brought my bike shorts and a t-shirt ready to try it. It was so much fun, and the other woman was impressed by how competitive I was. We were drenched in sweat, and it felt like I had a great workout, and that all my tension building up was drained away. In a word, it was great.

 

At the next meeting (all the meetings are at a rented gym space private room) I wrestled the other two women, and beat one and lost to one. It was so much fun, and such a workout!! Things got so intense in one match betwen two of the other women that one woman slapped the other in the face at some point, and after trading a few more ringing faceslaps, they started a death grip on each other's hair. My friend's husband finally got their legs apart from a crazy scissor/hair hold, and a couple of minutes later the women were laughing and hugging each other. Competitive, but friendly :-)

 

I love having met all these great people as friends, as I get lonely without my husband around. The work he does is really dangerous, so doing this kind of thing and meeting new people keeps my thoughts off of him. I'm glad where he works there are no women because of the physical nature of the work, otherwise I would have another reason to think of him!! When I talk to him and tell him all about it, he said he wishes I wouldn't wrestle anymore, and that he's jealous of my friend's husband getting to watch a "bunch of women catfight" each other.

 

I got mad at him and told him he was sexist that he looks at our competitive fun in such a derogatory way, and we got in a big argument.

I feel like I have a right to do this activity if I have so much fun doing it, and it's great exercise and a great release. The woman I met said she would do this whether or not she was married, and that her husband had nothing to do with starting the club up. He's now been relegated to cameraman as we women like watching the matches after.

Should I do as my husband asks me, and stop, or keep up this great exercise and fun.

As a guy... I'm going to tell you two things.

 

One its super creepy that this gets videotaped!

 

Two its super creepy that this ladies husband hangs around and watches.

 

Those two factors would bug the crap out of any self respecting man!

 

Otherwise... it sounds like a good idea!

Some of what you've written is a little unsettling... Especially the presence of the husband (as mentioned by Cobra).

 

You have a right to enjoy the activities that you want. Your husband has expressed his "concern" or jealously over this. You can either choose to ignore him and continue to wrestle OR you can ask him why he feels the way he does. Ask him to explain it to you...so you can understand. He may realize, in the process, that he's being insecure...OR he may say something valid.

typical answer from a guy. so what if it's videotaped? just like my husband, if a woman does it, it just becomes entertainment.

 

it is not entertainment. it is a normal activity people have practiced for centuries. now that women want to do it, for fun and exercise, it has to be degraded to catfighting and "weird".

 

so sad.
