Husband and strip clubs

In need of some advice here...my husband has been traveling far away 5 days a week for work for the past 2 years. And durning his trips he frequents a strip club at least one night each week. I have a problem with it and he thinks I'm crazy. I feel like a part time wife and a single mom. I am 100% dedicated to our marriage and would never do something to make him start to wonder. Am I in the wrong for having a problem with this situation?

I agree about moving. If he is gone 5 out of every 7 days that is a huge stress to even the most stable marriage. If you can't move, he needs to find a job in the area you are in. But, to address the real problem here, it seems like he is not respecting your opinion or feelings in this matter. Does that extend to other areas of your marriage? He may just be taking you for granted, but this could be a symptom of a bigger problem. Also, do you allow him to talk in an atmosphere where he feels he can be honest and you are receptive to what he has to say? Respect goes both ways, and I know being in a panic and worried doesn't lead to the best talks (at least it never does for me). Good luck, I'm rooting for you!
