Why GNO's are bad (or how I saw two grown men cry in 1 day)

BTW this goes for boys nights out too. Names are made up to protect the innocent Time machine back to 1998 or 1997 I forget which. A friend of mine had moved back to town in the past year now with a wife. We do buddy things a few times but couples friend with couples. I am unattached at the time. We are in very early 30s and most of these other couples below are a few years older except one of which one was a guy in his early 40s. (NICE house) Remember the old style big screens? he had one. I get invited over for a Fri or Sat night of basketball watching. I arrive and there was a minor argument. There are like 8 wives there, 8 husbands, and me. The wives said they wanted to go to one of those male review things like Chippendales except I think it wasn't them some sleazier offshoot... Husbands universally say no, we don't get to go to nudie bars... So wives "back off" decide they want to go to some bar. Wives depart. Its about 930ish and my buddy gets a call on his cell (remember cells that were about 5 to 6i nches long? one of those) Women do protect each other in affairs but a chain is as strong as its weakest link. My friends wife is the weak link. He is standing next to me. I hear basically "Yea right, Lisa and Ann are screwing the strippers. Are you drunk? Not funny" He said that a bit too loud. Silence... The host even hits mute. Then I hear sobbing loud enough from his wife. She is begging him to come get her. I heard "I'm Sorry, PLEASE" from her end the rest was garbled. My friend takes off in a shot. One dude starts crying... HARD. The other guy is crying but takes off in his car after finding out where it is. Mr. crying hard leaves about 2 minutes later. Both of them were dead white pale. I leave about a minute later as the host is on HIS cell screaming at his wife for being the instigator and wrecking two marriages. I don't know all the details. The stories were lined up. One fvcked a stripper, one "only blew" a stripper. They started at a bar and had a few alcoholic drinks... then decided to head to the show anyway. ?They were invited? to some VIP/back room and well a player is a player and no not all male strippers are gay. Two of them cheated. No not my friends wife tho she was in it deep for going into a place they had mutually agreed neither spouse was allowed to partake in. He forgave her after a weekish for her going into the male strip club. I heard second hand the one who fvcked ended up divorcing and the other reconciled. I didn't really have contact with any of them after that except my friend and then because he was married and I was not, he hung around his married friends. It wasn't something I would bring up every day. Dunno the repurcussions for the hosts wife. Apparently she was the chief instigator. Seriously I don't ever want to see the face of a man who finds out suddenly his wife cheated, let alone two. They looked like death. I will NEVER forget that look.
